All hail the noodly appendage

I was sifting through the profuse number of blogs I currently subscribe to a few minutes ago (it really is a ridiculous amount), and I was delighted to see that one of my favs was linking back to me in response to one of my posts about The Flying Spaghetti Monster, that protein-rich deity that all of us pirates love to worship in favour of that lame-ass christian one that has always sounded more like Santa Claus than a believable deity.
Jen over at Spaghetti Harvest built her website around the ideology of this not-any-sillier-than-any-other-religious-idea and has been laughing about her inside joke seemingly ever since. And aside from laughing myself every time I go to her site, she keeps a blog that is very thoughtful, incisive and incredibly honest, with posts about her life, her business, and her ruminations on in-laws and what she would secretly like to do to them, if only she could get away with it.
Think Dooce with balls, and without all of that Mormon rhetoric.
But why did I enjoy her most recent post more than normal you ask?
Well, aside from the little thrill of seeing a peer taking an interest in something I wrote, she posted the as yet undiscovered by me 8 commandments of Pastafarianism. They are hilarious.
My favourite:

4. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t Indulge In Conduct That Offends Yourself, Or Your Willing, Consenting Partner Of Legal Age AND Mental Maturity. As For Anyone Who Might Object, I Think The Expression Is Go Fuck Yourself, Unless They Find That Offensive In Which Case They Can Turn Off the TV For Once And Go For A Walk For A Change.Have a look at them yourself here. Even if you are a fundie, (or maybe especially if), you should check it out, as they are very funny.

I'd like to thank the academy....er...ahem...
I am flattered though. Sometimes I think that only I think I'm funny. So, there I sit cracking jokes that no one gets.
BTW, I LOVE The Stand. I have a copy of the movie on VHS and have read it several times. I "discovered" Blue Oyster Cult via that movie (yes, I was very sheltered says my husband who never watched Dr.Who) and still get chills when I hear Don't Fear the Reaper.
Glen and I need to watch it again. Actually I need to hunt it down on DVD and buy the damn thing.
I often think that I'm the only one that thinks I'm funny. And I'm often right.
And I completely agree with you about The Stand. I love that story. I was into the Blue Oyster Cult prior to the airing of the miniseries, and I knew it was going to be good when that song opened the movie. And thanks to you, I have just now added that movie to my Zip list. Thanks!
