Family Guy Rules
New
Favorite Movie
Yes, it’s
short. No, it’s not an actual “movie” in the sense
that someone paid mucho money to put in theatres.
Hell, it’s not a feature-length presentation. But,
it’s dastardly funny. Go check it out. If
you’ve seen it via an email from me already,
pretend you haven’t and go see it again.
Why’s it so funny? Because, of course, it’s true.
Well, not for me, but probably for you :-). I've
watched this I don't know how many times now, and
it's still gut-bustingly good. Thanks to Action for
turning me on to it.
Geebus? Instead of, say, Jim?
OK, so who
decided to use the name Geebus? I mean, Geebus
Christ! Why not “Jim?” I mean, what a strange name
for a guy, huh? Which makes you wonder (we wondered
at work): is Geebus a fairly uncommon name because it
was used for this guy? Or is it atypical and that’s
the reason they chose it? Or did they just make it
up? I mean, how many people you heard of before his
time that were named Geebus? Yeah, me either.
What if they named him Jim Christ? JIM CHRIST! What a
concept… Would Jim now be uncommon? Would it be Jesus
Smith in the cubicle next to you? Eh, who knows.
Oh, and in case anyone wants to proffer an answer:
yeah, see, it was rhetorical... I’m really not too
interested to know who decided upon the name. Unless
it involves boobs. Heck, if you can weave boobs in
there some way, I’m duty-bound to listen.
Which
brings me to…
Seriously,
why are people today naming their kid Geebus? Sh*t,
that’s a hell of a lot to live up to. “You see, son,
we named you after the Savior of All Human Kind. No
pressure to make anything of yourself, though…. You
just be a trite little boy, OK?” How many people do
you know named Zeus (outside of wrestling)? Or
Hercules? Why? Because how can you expect your kid to
fill those shoes? They can’t even control their
bowels, how the heck are you supposed to know whether
they’re going to change the world? They can’t even
change their own diapers!
"Hi, Samantha! I’d like you to meet my friend,
Jehovah, not to be confused with Our Lord God. And
his this is his wife, Hera."
Just a question I’ve pondered. Thought I’d run it by
y’all.
Peace.
