moment of lightness and laughter

This site is funny (and sometimes just plain sad, which is another form of funny):

Here's one of my favorites:

edit: apparently, it won't let you link to the pictures. They're still hilarious though.

I think this was out there in an earlier post. I made one about an after church potluck but nobody cared.

Corking, great site Cran! Some are inspired, some plain dumb.

What's an after church potluck, Flydood? Sounds like a game of Russian Roulette.

It's a tradition in many churches (at least here in the US) to have everyone bring a dish to pass then after the service the congregation gets together to eat. It's such a tradition that it's sort of a cliche.

But my hilarious church sign went unnoticed. How sad.

On a bumper-sticker I once saw...

Allah! Protect Me From Your Followers!

The do-it-yourself part of that website comes in pretty handy. I've used it to make the sign part of this picture on the front page of C&F:

In a more secular vein, try this.

I seem to remember a Ridout Funeral Home in Birmingham that belongs on this site.

I "borrowed" Dale's image and made my own.

Not to be confused with a "dead spread," which is the same food, but you take it to the dead person's family instead of to the church.

We love potlucks in the US because they are the only opportunity we have to eat that green bean/mushroon soup/fried onion crumbles casserole. Nobody ever makes that stuff at home.

Another favorite potluck item -- hot dish. You make hot dish by combining some kind of meat (browned hamburger, diced Spam, cut up hotdogs, left over roast) with a can of whatever Campbell's soup you have in the cabinet (but not chicken noodle -- too runny) and a large quantity of some cooked starch (noodles, rice, spaghetti, other pasta). Stir it all together, then slather it into a baking dish and top with either cheese, tater tots or those canned fried onion crunchies, and bake for about an hour or until the top catches fire.

Good eating -- I love a potluck.

You, sir, have never had Thanksgiving dinner with my ex - in-laws!!!

My sister makes that greenbean stuff every time.

I love the inevitable meatballs. Usually two or three varieties. There's also the little hotdogs in a crockpot with barbeque sauce. Mmmmm.
That's probably why I usually bring one of those two items every time.

When I went to church, there would always be eight different kinds of homemade macaroni and cheese (mac + cheese = my favorite food). This was the only reason I went to church, truth be told.
