Just make sure that you are spiritually motivated, then prayerful, then content, and then you get on with your life--which is life indeed. 2008-11-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=586977 Today is Columbus Day. I also, by sheer coincidence, happen to live in Columbus, MS. This is confusing, at least initially. Mainly because my bank closed for Columbus Day, and the first I knew about it was when the door wouldn’t open. I must admit, I first thought that some mayor must have been a little too festival happy. Seriously, my confusion over the lack of confetti downtown aside, there are some real issues with a bank being closed for Columbus Day, or anything being closed on Columbus Day for that matter, but especially a bank. First of all, this is hardly the time for a bank to close for some random cracker holiday that no one cares about. “Sorry guys, but it’s Columbus Day for the rest of your life.” ----------- Second of all, Columbus was a hack. Again, seriously, the guy landed on some island in the Caribbean and THOUGHT IT WAS INDIA. Why are we proud of that? You could just imagine a rancid, scurvy-ridden Christopher Columbus trudging up the beach and look... 2008-10-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=578468 2008-09-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=567931 Though his presidential candidate went down in flames this year, Chuck Norris has been making a resurgent comeback. He's got a column on some conservative website, even. In honor of this, we decide to go back and re-write some of the Internet-based jokes for which he was so popular a few years back. Enjoy. • There is no chin under Chuck Norris’s beard. Wait, yes. Yes, there is a chin under Chuck Norris’s beard. Sorry for any confusion caused by my previous comment. • Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He just stares them down until he gets the information he wants. That usually doesn’t work, so he reads the Spark Notes. • I saw this Chuck Norris movie, and this European guy was all like “time to die Chuck Norris” and Chuck was all like “no YOU die” and then he kicked him right in the face. Oh man, it was awesome. • When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he isn’t pushing himself up. He no longer has to thanks to the unique fitness regiment that’s only available ... 2008-08-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=552170 2008-07-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=528758 Look out, TaRdCatz. There's a new elected legislative official in this municipality... one that enforces literacy and nihilism. 2008-05-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=512701 String theorists have discovered an alternate universe where April Fool's Day falls on April 3rd, specifically out of courtesy to a certain science journalist who spent April 1st learning about pharmacogenetic testing and regulation. Though careful to specify that this universe exists only in mathematical proofs validated by the quantum state of photons perceived by bleary eyes under deadline pressure, the corroboration is strong enough to permit the extrapolation of other features, many of which are similarly agreeable to this journalist. To wit: God and Science- People who believe in God, or Gods, don't try to explain the age of the world or the characteristics of its inhabitants in ways that are blatantly contradicted by the testable application of rational thought. Supporters of science refrain from denigrating religion simply to make themselves feel better. What's really dangerous, they've realized, is fanaticism and dogma of all sorts, religious and secular. They are less conc... 2008-04-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=511243 2008-03-31 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=503250 2008-03-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/herofortheday?l=5&entryID=501891 2008-03-07
