Guest Reviewer: Emily, the Not Crummy Sister

Things are crazy around Casa Crummy right now. I'm busy addressing envelopes, in preparation for sending out the books once they arrive (any day now...). They've all been addressed, and are just ready for signed books to be placed in them, which should speed things up once they get here.

You might recall last week that I mentioned the place we were going to move into burned...well we were able to transfer our earnest money to a different property, so now it's looking like we might be able to move in this weekend! Don't let the jaded snark I post on here daily fool you: the truth is God really is good and faithful and provides for His children. Some might call it lucky, I call it blessed, but I really don't deserve all the breaks I catch.

All this to say there's sadly no time for a Tuesday guest post at The Snark...and barely any time to post any crumminess here.
So, today's reviews are courtesy of my sister Emily. She's the heir apparent to this whole operation here at CCS, and you can see why with this batch of reviews (all signs submitted by her):

"Forgive your enemies- it messes with their heads"
"I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy times seven. That'll totally freak them out!" -Matthew 18:22

" 'Friends' don't let 'friends' die without 'Christ' "
'Thanks'.

"Hell is easy to find- it lies at the end of a Christless life."
You mean 'Christ'? That guy?

"People Die. God Lives."
If Sylvia Plath and Billy Graham made a church sign...


Thanks, Emily! That last review is one of my favorites....ever. I might have to stop the presses on my book and include it.

(Kidding, everyone).

'Friends' don't let 'friends' die without 'humor-blogs.com'.

Keep 'em coming.

  1. I really respect your take on life, Joel, and my wish is for you to be able to continue to keep it as you go through moving, which is quite an upheaval. Best of luck.

  3. WELL DONE on the not-at-all crumminess, Emily! i fear i may have to agree with your crummy(not)brother in saying that last crummy review is my new fav!

    and Joel, here's wishing you an uncomplicated move followed by YEARS and YEARS and YEARS of happiness! oh, and more post in the Snark, if you please -- because, really, NO one writes a crummy letter as well and/or hilariously as you. and i mean NO ONE! ; )

  4. Frogster: Thanks! Considering we've been essentially living out of suitcases for 6 months, the upheaval might be a welcome relief....we're glad to finally have a place of our own, for sure.

    Jessy: I guess if I hafta be usurped, it may as well be by my favorite sis, right?!?

    Neva: Once I have free time, I will again regularly contribute. Until you fire me. I just need a break (after all, I'm a teacher and used to extended breaks from my job all the time....)

  5. Aww, shucks! Thanks. I've been soaking in snarkiness for lo these couple of decades, so I should put it to good use. I'm without a doubt still the 'grasshopper' in this proverb, though, Joel!

  6. I hope your new abode is not at all crummy, and more importantly, not ablaze.

    Good luck with your move!
