That, my friend, is funny.
ReplyDeleteI hope someday to hang out with you. You have the kind of slightly bizarre mind that I deeply respect.
ReplyDeleteBart,
ReplyDeleteYou are now in the lead for the BEST RAGGIN' BLOGGER OF 2008 award.
This may turn out to be a very good year for raggin'

David, Wade, and CB,
ReplyDeleteGlad you all liked it.
Dave Miller,
I take exception to the word "slightly."
BTW, and one more thing, Bart,
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that if a female professor teaches this little ditty to her seminary Hymnology class that she will have to speak to the disciplines of Theology, SBC Issues, Baptist Doctrine specifically and she may have to reference the Bible since you included John the Baptist.
In addition she may have to deal with hermeneutics and exegetical methodologies and a few other things that a well rounded seminary degree should include, such as: What constitutes a biblical and theological Baptist identity?
Of course, if she only has women in her Hymnology class she will not be in any jeopardy of losing her job. Right?
cb
C.B.,
ReplyDeleteAny professor of anything who teaches this little ditty deserves a pink slip regardless of the professor's gender.

The first and last stanza remind me of an old poem...
ReplyDeleteThere was a young poet from Japan
Whose poetry no one could scan.
He said, "Yes, I know,
It really is so,
But I always try to get as many words in the last line as I can."
:^)
Made my Monday. Thanks Bart.
ReplyDeleteBrother Bart,
ReplyDeleteWhat I am about to say may just blow your mind. I agree with Brother Wade. :>)
Blessings,
Tim
Dude,
ReplyDeleteI just spit coffee at my computer screen in Panera. Too funny.
Chris Bonts
Bart,
ReplyDeleteYou blew your Baptist Identity. You sang ALL the verses. You know we don't sing more than 3 of 'em at any given service.
Bart,
ReplyDeleteIs this from the new Baptist Hymnal?
David R. Brumbelow
I think you are soooo funny, Bart. But to be very sure that you are funny I am going to ask my husband first. pause...
ReplyDeleteOkay...I asked him and he says you are very funny, too. selahV
Bart,
ReplyDeleteYou are in the wrong profession. Too bad that the writer's strike is over. Leno probably could have used some help :-)
Rob
SelahV,
ReplyDeleteYour comment was almost as funny as Bart's.
Bart, I only called you slightly bizarre to be nice.
Well played, but can you but the Baptist Faith and Message (2000) to the tune of Salty Dog Blues?
ReplyDeletekws,
ReplyDeletei sing the baptist faith and message 2k to the tune of rocky top.

"i've got five pounds of possum in my headlights tonite." have you heard it? it's about a man who has a bunch of children... it's christmas time, and he's lost his job...but, everything's alright, cuz he's got five pounds of possum in his headlights tonite.
