Sunday Morning Church Disservice: The Times, They Are A Changin'

Wow…What a day it was yesterday. It was windy, frigid, and we ended up with 17 inches of snow.

Today…Partly Sunny and a high of 33. Change can happen in the blink of an eye.

Speaking of change, did you remember to set your clock up an hour?

Daylight Savings Time started early this year.

The end result of this change…

The sun won’t set until roughly 7:30 PM tonight in Bagwine, Ohio.


I like that kind of change.

Another change that I am looking forward to takes place in two weeks.


Easter Morning will dawn and I will rediscover the joy of eating a greasy hamburger. Praise Jeebus!!

Things on the meatless front are getting ugly. I had another disturbing dream last night.

I was involved in a ménage a trois with Ronald McDonald and the Burger King.

Being the unsuccessful heterosexual that I am, it’s bad enough dreaming about having sex with men, but c’mon…these two freaks!?

Ronald said, “Screw the Golden Arches, I’m gonna give you a Golden Shower.”

Then, the maniacal looking Burger King spread his cheeks and ordered me to toss his salad.

It could have gotten worse, but I woke up before he whipped out his Whopper.

Yes indeed, it could have been worse, but nonetheless, there was serious damage done to my mental health.

I need some meat folks. Easter can’t get here soon enough.

And now let us bow our heads, and in lieu of prayers, let us award the Bagwine Ruminations Comment of the Week



This week’s COW comes courtesy of Mo from It’s A Blog Eat Blog World. I was bitching about Blogger problems in the comments section of yesterday’s post.

Mo told me that it wasn’t just a problem that I was having.

He was having difficulties as well, and he summed up his ticked-off-ness in a manner befitting our Sunday Morning Church Disservice:

“…it's not just you (or your snowstorm) it's everywhere today.I'm more frustrated than a Catholic priest at a Boy Scouts sleepover.”

Well said Mo, well said. If you get the chance, swing by Mo’s site and give a him a hearty congrats for ropin’ this week's COW.

You can go to his site by clicking HERE.

Amen, and Amen.

We have spoken about “change” today and so I was ruminating over which song to play today. Who captures the power and essence of change in lyric?

John Waite? Bob Dylan? The Scorpions? Pffffffft hacks, one and all.

For this Sunday’s Serenade of Change, I brought out the big guns. Enjoy Greg’s fringe, Cindy’s Go-Go boots, and Peter’s cracking voice.

Pork Chops and Applesauce, anyone?

Cheers!!

Sha na na na, too sweet for my morning noon or night. Did you check out Maureen on Gone Country?

Schmoop said...

Lu: I have only caught a couple bits and pieces of that show. Man, those Brady's RAWKED. Cheers!!

Odat said...

OH God! CAN'T.LISTEN.TO.THAT.SONG.

That dream must have really scarred ya, knowing that you're so afraid of clowns!

Way to go, Mo!!!!! :-)

Peace

Schmoop said...

Odat: There are few things scarier than a creepy, clownish, meat-man.

You don't like the Brady's? Communist!! Cheers!!

Dana said...

There is nothing more petrifying than the Burger King! What marketing genious decided the best way to get people to stuff a whopper in their mouth was to torment them with the plati-faced King?? Give me shivers just to think about it ... and those are not goo shivers!

Schmoop said...

Dana: The ad execs that came up with that, had to have dropped some bad acid. I hope your case of the goo improves. Cheers!!

Durward Discussion said...

Arrrgh! I hit play and then stop almost as a continuous motion. You are just trying to make us all as miserable as you, mo, all those Catholic priests, and The Boy Scouts staring across the lake at the Girl Scouts.

Schmoop said...

Jamie: What better way to start the Sabbath than with the purity and righteousness of the Brady Kids? Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Geez, thanks for nuthin', you shit. Just love the Burger King (freak-a-zoid).

Just for that, you get to hear what I had for dinner last night: a handcrafted, medium done Angus burger dripping in smoky barbecue sauce and topped with six luscious, crispy slices of bacon.

Nanner, nanner, nanner.

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Torture me as you will, I am cloaked in a robe of rightgeousness made entirely out of fish sticks and legumes. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Way to Go Mo!!!

So Easter Sunday is the big meat fest?

My little sister knows ALL the Brady songs... and all the words to every show... I think the 'rents found her under a rock~~~

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: Yesiree, Meat-O-Fickin'-Rama in two weeks.

Maybe your sis and I are related. I know all of the lines as well. Cheers!!

leelee said...

OMG..Greg looks so hot in that utra suede fringe shirt...

I wonder if he dropped a hit of blotter after that?

sha na na na na na na na na..nananananaaa

Schmoop said...

Leelee: Greg is a man's man and woman's man.

I don't know what Greg did afterwards, but after listening to this, I drank heavily. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

You said it Matt... freak-o-rama! Well you two are about the same age lol...

Jay said...

I watched that video with the sound off. I think it's better that way. I don't think it's possible to get too much Marsha Brady action though.

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: Brady Lovers of the World Unite!! Cheers!!

Jay: Then you didn't get to experience the totality of the Religious experience. I was trying to save your soul Jay. Cheers!!

leelee said...

MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA!

Mo and The Purries said...

Thank you Thank you, Thank you!
I'm so honored to win the coveted COW. I'd like to dedicate this award to the American Association of Beef Lovers, whose sales will skyrocket in two weeks when Matty once again rejoins the ranks of carnivorous bloggers. Not to be confused with rank cannibalistic bloggers, but I digress... Poke chops 'n applesauce for everyone!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: That's what Jan screams out loud when they are in bed together. Cheers!!

Mo: I got a little misty eyed when I realized that such a long time Bagwine pundit received this honor.

Thank you for thinking of my future meat feast. Cheers!!

Sandee said...

Oh my the Brady Bunch. Yikes.

You certainly do need some meat Matt-Man. That's one awful nightmare. Glad you woke up in time. It could have been even worse.

I missed Mo's comment, but that's a humdinger. Have a great day. Glad the storm has passed you by. :)

Schmoop said...

Sandee: Just 14 more days and I will be back to being my normal, meaty self. Have a great day as well, Sandee. Cheers!!

RW said...

Congats to MO! Yes Blogger was being a bit of a bugger yesterday!

Schmoop said...

Roger: What have you done to yourself? Good God, Man.

Oh yeah, I mentioned God's name several times yesterday trying use Blogger. Cheers!!

Lex Valentine said...

Peter's cracking voice has nothing on Jan's budding little boobies. But that was pretty funny. Your dream wasn't. That was some scary shit. Did you go for the booze the moment you woke up? I would have...

Schmoop said...

Winter: I would have gone for the booze, but I was too busy choking on my vomit.

As for Jan, sadly, I noticed that as well. Cheers!!

Ken said...

Very hard to believe that you MM would go thru the pain of not eating meat thru lent! Why?

Get with the program and stuff a steak down your troat, you WILL be forgiven!

THATS WHAT HE DOES !!!!!!

Ken said...

I just heard THUNDER!!!!
Help!

Schmoop said...

Micky: Blasphemer!!! I just got done making up a Baked Spaghetti dish. Spaghetti, Cream Cheese, Tomatoes, and Kidney Beans. That's what's on the menu for tonight. Cheers!!

Ken said...

First,Sorry to get your hackles up!

I quote:
We shall have to spend time each day with the Gospel record, and we shall have to think and feel our way into the heart of it.
We shall have to share regularly in the services of our church, where we come face to face with Him in worship and in adoration, and where we listen for His word spoken with today's accent.
We shall have to examine our lives to see what holds us back from richness of the Christian life. The yeilding of any habit or way of living, the abandoning of any cherised hate or impure thought or desire, the humble giving of ourselves without reserve-these are so little to give when we remember that He gave Himself for us.

Nothing about steak!

That spaghetti meal sounds to die for!

Travis Cody said...

Remember the BK commercial where the guy opens his curtains and there is the creepy face of the Burger King?

That guy is way creepier than Ronald McDonald. At least RM actually speaks.

**shiver**

Schmoop said...

Micky: Weep not for me, my salvation lies at the bottom of a bowl of Minestrone Soup.

The spaghetti thing looks pretty good. If I post tomorrow, you'll know that it didn't kill me. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Travis: I thought about that one. I would freak if I was greeted in the morning by that face. Cheers!!

The Absurdist said...

I just don't get f'ing lent. I mean, the christhole died for your sins already. So why do you have to give something up to show your gratitude to him? God loves you just as you are; crack-smoking, sex addicted pervert. Why you gotta go show him you don't love yourself by giving up something when he loves you "divinely"?

Plus, if you are going to give something up in the name of god, why don't you give up something like, blow-up dolls, barbies, titty dancers, or any other thing that pisses us normal average looking chicks off?

Marilyn said...

Yay Mo! A truely COW worthy comment.

Jasmine said something about our goose award today... I guess she got the farm animals confused.

Schmoop said...

Absurdist: If I gave up tittie dancers, that would be their loss, not mine...And by the way, I lovvvve average looking women, they look so much better than me. Cheers!!

Marilyn: Tell your daughter to get it right or there will be be beatings. She is damn adorable though. My son is 13, how about an arrainged marriage? Cheers!!

Ken said...

You know Matt-Man I really love maps, all kinds of maps.

I was trying to find Bagwine but it's been tough.

So tell me, are there
spring fields by McCreight in Bagwine?

Schmoop said...

Micky: You hit the nail on the head sir. And...McCreight Ave. houses one of the best pizza places in Swingfield. Cheers!!

Unknown said...

Driven to posting Brady Bunch songs, and dreaming of a ménage a trois with Ronald McDonald and the Burger King, shoot honey you have some serious problems. If I could I'd send a case of Spam to arrive the day after Easter.

Schmoop said...

Mama: Don't worry...Easter Morning will be an unholy sight of carnivorous carnage. Cheers!!

Lee Ann aka Dixie said...

Now I'll have that stupid song stuck in my head and have freakin nightmares... arghhhhhhhhhhhh

Have a good week!

SMOOCHES!

Schmoop said...

Dixie: I apologize, but know that I too, have the damn thing stuck in mine. Cheers!!

The Absurdist said...

Matt:

Are you going to call me? You left too early. absurdist@theabsurdist.net

Schmoop said...

Absurdist: In my mind, I'm already there. Cheers!!

Jahooni said...
