We’re coming up on the Backyard Brawl (GT vs UGA football), so here’s a joke on UGA.

Bubba finished up the agricultural program at UGA and got his degree. He bought a plot of land outside Athens and decided to raise chickens. So he went to the local co-op and said “Give me 100 baby chickens.” So, the co-op owner sold him what he wanted.

A week later, Bubba went back to the co-op and said, “Give me another 100 baby chickens.” So, the co-op owner sold him what he wanted.

A week later, Bubba went back to the co-op and said, “Give me another 100 baby chickens.” The co-op owner was astounded and said to Bubba, “Wow! You must really be doing well, that you need so many chickens in such a short amount of time!”

Bubba sadly replied, “No, I’m not having success at all. I must either be planting them too deep or too far apart.”

Yeah, I know it borders on megalomania to quote yourself.  Just think of it as a microcosm of blogging in general.

Had one of the weekly conference calls that I attend earlier today. Everyone was introducing themselves as they joined the call — which is totally unnecessary, but pre-programmed.  After about 20 introductions, I was able to get a word in edge-wise.  Bored with the standard intro, I said, “My driver’s license says ‘Brendt Waters.’”

After a few more introductions, there was a pause, so I interjected, “Of course, it also lists my weight as 190.”

In a recent discussion over on JT’s blog of the upcoming Presidential election, one comment stood out among the rest.  Oddly, the author was probably being facetious (considering his history), but this is the best argument that I’ve ever heard for salvific election as defined by Calvinists.  And it even ends with a very funny line:

Daniel 11:24 (emphasis mine) relates this prophecy about Antiochus Epiphanes (215 BC - 164 BC):

Convince me that this isn’t re-distribution of wealth.

FWIW, many consider Antiochus Epiphanes to be a type of the anti-Christ.

Got this in the mail today. Somehow I don’t think they thought out the wording before going to press.

This one is dedicated to my friend, Joe.

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Yankees fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Yankees fans.

Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”

“Because I’m not a Yankees fan,” she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Yankees fan, then  who are you a fan of?”

“I am a Red Sox fan, and proud of it,” Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, why pray tell are you a Red Sox fan?”

“Because my mom is a Red Sox fan, and my dad is Red Sox fan, so I’m a Red Sox fan too!”

“Well,” said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, “That is no reason for you to be a Red Sox fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were a moron and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?”

“Then,” Janie smiled, “I’d be a Yankees fan.”

iMonk informs us that the ESV Study Bible is not the only study Bible coming out this year, and runs down the rest of the list. If you spin in some of the same blogospheric circles as I do, you’ll “get” more of this than if you don’t.

The only thing that I don’t get is that the first one is stunningly accurate in its portrayal, while the rest seem to be fictionally comic.
