Monday Post a day early

Well, since I will be off playing golf in the NC East Pastor’s tourney tomorrow I figured I would go ahead and post tonight.

A few quotes that I liked this week:

1.  “Well, everyone’s got gas.”-unnamed source on the gas shortage in Charlotte

2.  “The only difference between fantasy football and real football is that fantasy football matters.”-Heath Mullikin

3.  “I rode in Kirk Cameron’s van.  He wasn’t in it, but still.”-Scott Hart

4.  “As soon as knew the computer was the bad guy I left the movie.  I said, ‘I’ve seen this before.  It was called I, Robot.'”-Jam

5.  “Pluto is a dog and acts like a dog.  What’s the deal with Goofy cause ain’t he a dog too?”-Me

6.  If you haven’t heard about this, it’s just another reason not to like PETA or eat Ben and Jerry’s.

7.  If you watched the debate then you saw both candidates compare their bracelets honoring fallen soilders.  Here’s one key difference.

8.  I hope the Minnesota Twins make the playoffs.  How bad do you think Johan Santanna will feel after taking the big money from the Mets and not making the playoffs while his former team gets in?  How can the Twins manager not win manager of the year?  Dude, I hate the Mets almost as much as I hate the Yankees.  Also, how do you think former Brewers manager Ned Yost feels?  All those years to get the Brewers this far and he gets fired 12 games before they clinch the playoffs.

9.  Confession time:  I was watching New Kids on the Block perform live on VH1 before coming to the computer.  No, my wife wasn’t even in the room, but I did get the heads up from a fellow youth pastor.  His name is Philip Martin.  Now if you google New Kids on the Block+Philip Martin it will bring you to my blog, I hope.

10.  Did you know that since 2000, Clemson has lost to an unranked team at home 7 times while in the top 25 themselves?

And finally, I hope this story makes you tear up like it did me.  It puts things in perspective, and you have to admire his courage.
