Can turkeys fly?

Happy Thanksgiving with one of the funniest episodes from a very funny show, “Turkeys Away” from WKRP in Cincinnati.

Watch to the end. Trust me. ;-)

 

Home! And XM Christmas

Christmas on XMWe made it home from SBL and I will report more later on. But first…I thought I would share with you this picture. We were listening to XM35 “Holly” Christmas songs on the way home. Our radio display resulted in the song title being truncated, but it sort of fits don’t you think? I do believe in fat, don’t you?

So, anyone know the actual title of the song?

 

The second (and third, fourth) coming of Jesus

Warning: while I do not find this comic particularly offensive, if you peruse this sight you will find (very funny) comics of questionable taste. :-) Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weiner

Each comic is followed by a little “afterward:”

 

What’s on Abegg’s iPod?

On the network in the hotel I came across this and feeling mischievous I thought I would post this this screen shot:

What's on your iPod?

Note that his music library is appropriately secured. But it got me wondering, what would be on Abegg’s iPod?  I think he probably gets in the groove with a little Earth, Wind, and Fire while reading the War Scroll. Your suggestions?

 

Bibliobloggers SBL Dinner 2008

Bibliobloggers dinner(Click on the picture to go to flickr and see more pictures of attendees.)
Tonight we had our annual SBL Bibliobloggers dinner. Absent were the redoubtable Jim West and Chris Tilling but we made fun of them anyway.

We had a tremendous group, with 23 people in attendance! We even had one or two self-described groupies. Nice. Once again I tried to record a podcast, and was successful…more less. I realized after about 20 minutes that my memory card had filled up. Oops. I apologize to those who won’t make it on the podcast. Look for that later in the week, sometime after Thanksgiving (unless I am avoiding chores).

The diversity of views, backgrounds, and hairstyles was great to see. There was one point on which there was consensus: No more poultry posts. I will see what I can do.
