The Funniest Fools Online

These are some of the funnier April fools jokes I’ve seen across this internet:

  • Tim Ferris isn’t real! - My wife mentions this possibility every time I talk about Tim Ferris. Because of the believability I totally fell for it at first. This was the best crafted of all the 4/1 jokes I’ve seen.
  • Send your email back in time. This was so hilarious. “Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality”
  • PayPerTweet - I don’t even twitter and this had me rolling.
  • Chris from Canada Bay - This was totally original. Chris really committed on this one as well and went into a whole speal about it. I almost coughed up a lung laughing so hard when I read:

    “There are lots of beautiful places we could decide to live but the only choice we had - outside of the country of Canada - was Canada Bay, if I wanted to maintain my ChrisFromCanada.com branding”

  • Consuming Food - Jeff took the opposite approach and ditched his branding in favor of something new.
  • So did Los. I thought J-Rocka’s comment was pretty funny. “god” was just downright mean.

Did you see any other funny 4/1 jokes?

Praise and Worship Baby

IMG_5243While gathered around the dinner table this evening the Chia family was discussing the woes of hand motions and worship songs. I was reminiscing the years I spent leading worship as a camp counselor and the 37 different sets of hand motions that I know for the song Lord I Lift Your Name on High.

Sarah, Evie and I were singing the song and doing the motions and kid-you-not, on cue Ashlyn “raises the roof” like it’s 1995!

In my last baby worship post I showed Ashlyn going for the guitar. Lately we can’t keep her away from the piano.

Here she just thought she was on a roller coaster.

How to Shower

For blog action day I’ll be talking about how to take a shower.

IMG_4142

Steps to Proper Showering Technique

Step 1. Turn on the water.

Step 2. Get in the shower, and get wet.

Step 3. Turn off the water.

Step 4. Shampoo hair.

Step 5. Make your shampoo’d hair into a fauxhawk.

Step 6. Soap up.

Step 7. Turn on water. (again)

Step 8. Rinse off.

The procedure described above is also called a navy Shower, (maybe Chris can tell you more about showering in the navy) but I call it “The only way to shower.” This type of showering has become my passion lately.

It has so many benefits:

Get more Free Time. I used take long showers. It took me a forever to get ready for events and my morning routine was ridiculous. Now I can be in and out of the shower in less than 15 minutes, substantially increasing the amount of time I have to do other things.

Spend less money. Seriously, since I started taking navy showers our water bill dropped by $10 a month!

Help the environment. God has called us to take care of the earth, not exploit it. As Christians we should be leading the discussion in caring for our environment. Navy showers are a one way to be a good steward of the resources God has given us.

Warnings

  • Use less shampoo. With out the the water constantly running to wash the suds out of your eyes you will need to use less shampoo. (Which is also a bonus becuase your shampoo will last longer.)
  • Take care when washing feet. Again an excess of suds on the feet can make the shower floor slippery. Exercise caution.
  • You may become a green phreak. Taking navy showers just might make you feel so good about being a good steward of water you may start using good stewardship principles in other areas of your life.

Are you ready to turn the water off?

Funny Sarcastic Worship Leading Video

I saw this hilarious video over at Doug’s Blog:

10 Ways for Worship Leaders to Hinder the Church

(Direct YouTube video link.)

I love how Doug makes a classy move at the end and gives some encouragement.

I totally agree with the sarcasm of his statements on pushing the limits.

Taking strategic risks is one thing. You need to go out on a limb to get the fruit right? At the same time the guy who always lives on the edge eventually falls off. We need to be compassionate and loving as we encourage people forward in their spiritual walk.

Do you think Doug’s list helps or hinders the church?

More on Bad Worship Lyrics

Today I checked my site, and Laura Anne posted this comment about the song “I could sing of your love forever.” It reminded me of a great link I wanted to share. The easily offended need not click, but those seeking a hilarious romp of a post should proceed to:

Danny’s Blog Cabin - Top 5 Worst Worship Songs

At dinner last night my family was talking about all the other comments from my post on changing the lyrics to worship songs and I started signing, “Lift my hands and spin around.” I kid you not, on cue Ashlyn pumps her fist in the air:

IMG_4511

Only 7 months old and already a worshiper. The other day I caught her trying to escape the walker to play my guitar:

You know this girl’s all about following in her dad’s footsteps. Now I just need to remember to raise her to write good lyrics.

Ok, I know I’ve been picking on Alex a lot lately, but I seriously couldn’t pass this up. With the addition of his new beard he totally reminded me of a certain martial artist:

When the Water Park Closes

Today we created our own homegrown waterpark.

Sarah and I agreed to leave the computer off all day and spend some family time together. We thought it’d be fun to go to a real water park but apparently they’re only open on the the weekend.

This is what we resorted to:

(It was a ridiculous amount of fun)

We confess the sins of making the world’s worst worship confessional after leading worship for Youth Week at Aldersgate United Methodist Church.

Driscoll’s Organic Berries

Driscoll’s Organic Berries

When I saw these raspberries that Sarah bought the first thought that popped into my head was,

Is it possible that Mark Driscoll is an enthusiastic post modern theologian as well as a manufacturer of delicious post modern fruits?

Strange I know, but I guess I can’t make fun considering the products that feature my last name.

Satan and my Google Rankings

Ok, seriously google “Satanic Power Shirts”

Too funny. This should last until the next time Google spiders my site.

Mark Driscoll Loves My Coffee Cup

At which point my 6-year-old daughter walks in and says, “Hey, that’s my cup!”

After coffee I went outside to install some bigger subwoofers into my retarded car.

Relentless Rick Warren

Look at Rick Warren’s very next blog post right after I posted about baptism.

I think he’s been reading my blog.

So funny.

Oh so hilarious

Sarah and I took the laptop to the Vineyard yesterday. We bought Eve-Marie her 1st real Bible. (It’s an NIrV Adventure! Bible as opposed to a Children’s story book bible) Then we sit down in the cafe and took a look at this website:

I was laughing so hard I fell out of my chair.

RPG

Smart Paladin
51% Combativeness, 10% Sneakiness, 58% Intellect, 86% Spirituality
Valorous! Noble! Or possibly just a self-righteous jerk (but with the brains to keep you alive!)… You are a Smart Paladin!Paladins are holy warriors. They are valorous defenders of the light.
Unfortunately, most of them are so ardent in their defense they tend to
meet sticky ends faster than you can say “rampaging red dragon.” Many
people look up to Paladins, while others just consider them stuck up,
overbearing, or self-righteous.

Fortunately for you, unlike most Paladins, you’re pretty smart.
Which means that you’re more likely to fall into the “admired”
category, rather than the “obnoxious” or “dead” categories.

Much like the crusades, you manage to combine violence and
religion, though unlike the crusades, you add a healthy does of
intelligence. You may be a staunch defender of the faith, a valorous
champion of the weak, or the stuff that jihads are made of. Which ever
one you are, just be happy that you�ve got the smarts to back it up and
make it work.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 40% on Combativeness
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 2% on Sneakiness
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 21% on Intellect
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 99% on Spirituality
