Why do I sense another “Cherpumple” homily in the wings?
Hey, I got these* for my birthday.

Reason #372 why I will never be a skinny Manhattan-ite … I came from the place where wonders like this are created.
It’s also further proof that God loves Pittsburgh in a very special way.
Disgusting. And not just because I am vegetarian!

If you can bring yourself to eat it, then you can seek forgiveness in the “Chapel in the Mall.”

Thanks. I gave up all meat for Lent. I’m dying, here!
This cheap “_____ porn” phraseology fad not only is already old and tired, but particularly unfortunate in light of the ubiquitous quality that pornography has gained courtesy of modern communications technology; it is a humongous problem today.
You can do better, good Deacon.
Wow. Some of us do take things VERY seriously.
A friend of mine and I have already joked about a road trip to try it. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my beloved Safeco Garlic Fries to go with it!
Yup, when you’ve got a houseful of adolescents and have had to deal w/ their brushes w/ the poisonous stuff, because you take seriously your God-given responsibility as a parent, you’re a little sensitive to porno being trivialized, unintended or not. I don’t know; I just think it’s what Christian adults are supposed to be about.
P. S. On a related note, I really hate the way the word “su*k” has come into common parlance, by adults as much today as by youth; yeah, maybe I’m a prude, but isn’t all of this the way that a culture turns its back on its Judeo Christian heritage, little by little??
My Greek’s a little rusty, but doesn’t “porn” translate to “meat?”
Seriously. A quick Google search will confirm that for you. And perhaps find a few Jansenist blogs at the same time.
