Yep. You're pretty much by yourself out there.

This is where "context" becomes mightily important.

And where did this book of "Ho" come from? Is it anywhere near First and Second Pimp?

"Lord I'm running. 99 and a half won't do"
"Don't run with the world, instead walk with God"
both sides of the same sign submitted AND reviewed by frequent contributor Emily Bezaire, Smyrna, TN
Run...don't run....what do you want from me?!?

I think that first one is some cultural reference...I would use the term "pop" culture, but I don't know how "pop" the culture in question actually is. Can anybody offer some help in the comments section?

Adjectives are a good thing. Too much of a good thing is still....well....too much.

...whiskey? Is God so hard up for cash that He's tending bar on rainy days? What was this sign even supposed to mean? Maybe the people making this sign were pouring whiskey....

Or are you doing the taking? (Churches, I'm talkin' to you......)

Blogger has decided that's enough pictures for this post, so I will continue this LARGE batch in the next post (sorry, I got a little backlogged there.)

Keep 'em coming.

  1. JB,

    "HO" seems like an appropriate abbreviation for Hosea, as a ho plays a very prominent part in the book. Ho's ho, ho-ho-ho.

    "99 1/2 won't do" comes from a gospel (notice little "g") song, as in "Bruthah, you gots to give one hunnert per cent. 99 and a half won't do. Hah-Lay-Loo-Juh."

  2. Why do I get the impression that the "Soul enkindled with love" sign was the minister's sermon outline?
    I. The soul enkindled with love is a gentle soul.
    II. The soul enkindled with love is a meek soul.
    Etc.

  3. Heh heh axegrinder...

    I forgot all about old Hosea and Gomer when I wrote that review. That's too funny.

  4. I'm just glad my dad didn't follow Hosea's plan for naming your children. I could've ended up as "Ungodly Fuel Shortage" or something.

    Who the frick says enkindled, anyway? Seriously?

    I laughed at that much harder than I should have.
