My favorite part of this sign: They used an upside-down "M" as a "W" on the permanent part of the sign (in the pastor's name).

Sadly, this has happened once before. If someone cares to go archive-diving and find it and post the link in the comments, I'll update this post with kudos and the link.

Clay Pigeon, Week 2!

The Clay Pigeon

This week's edition of the Clay Pigeon doesn't include any original articles penned by yours truly, but that only serves to make it even funnier than last week's issue! Besides, I was editor on a couple of these gems so you really need to go check it out.

In this weeks issue of Clay Pigeon:

- CP issues a rebuttal to last week's "Indian Burns" article, with apologies to Brian Dennehy. The CP learned a valuable lesson, and that is to never contribute a hate-filled diatribe to a famous character actor again.

- Famous character actor Ed Harris pens "A Good, Dead Hittite", and explains why he hates the ancient empire. *

- Dr. Avogadro X-Squared makes the case for equal treatment of numbers in "Less Than or Equal To?"

- The CP interviews David Beckham's Left Foot.

- A potty-mouthed middle schooler talks trash at a math competition. *

Plus, a new Crummy Church Sign of the Week, The Pigeon Hole tackles politically incorrect team names, a brilliant new See Mike Draw, Grundir with more of his career guidance, a CP special report on the Build-A-Bear apocalypse, and much, much more! All in this week's edition of Clay Pigeon!

* Contains profanity.



More crumminess tomorrow!

This is a billboard from a series of sermons at a local church. I'm not sure what my thoughts are on this. It seems a little "ooky" (to use Shelley's word) to use sex to sell church. But this doesn't drive me crazy, like that last sign in yesterday's post.

Shelley also passed along this website for more info on the sermon series.

Any thoughts on something like this? Please comment on it below. I wonder what our friends over at Church Marketing Sucks would say about something like this...

"Want a perfect life? Make right choices."
submitted by new contributor Sarah Richards
See, it's signs like this one that got me started on this stupid blog in the first place. Seems nice and innocent enough, right? What a sweet sentiment!

Too bad it's totally non-Christian in its worldview. There's not a single place you can go in the Bible to back up nonsense like this.

We were born into sin. We need Jesus to save us from the depths of our own depravity. Period. That is the Christian message.

"Want a perfect life? Make right choices" is just new-agey feel-good mumbo jumbo, designed to get people in the door so the church can steal a tithe from them. Nothing more, nothing less. It has zero to do with Christianity. There's hardly a doubt in my mind that Jesus would drive his car right through that sign if He drove past it.

Well...maybe not. But He isn't pleased about it.

There's a whole lot less theology at Clay Pigeon.

the Clay Pigeon

It's here:

The Clay Pigeon

Clay Pigeon is a weekly online humor magazine put together by a select few of the evil geniuses over at humor-blogs.com (including yours truly). The first issue launches today!!

What is Clay Pigeon? Well, to truly answer that question, you had best visit the magazine itself and read the special interview with publishing magnate Rusty Gibbons.

In short, however, Clay Pigeon is a collection of the funniest of the funny. Some older, reworked, blog posts. Some brand new pieces. Some funny things we found online by unknown authors that you really need to be reading. All approved by the CP staff and edited (yes, edited...this is a magazine, after all, and not a blog) to reach Full Humor Potential.

Make no mistake: We're gunning for the big time with this. We feel strongly that this is some of the funniest writing that you'll find out there on the internet. Yes, the whole internet. The Onion may have the market cornered on funny fake news, but that doesn't mean it has the market cornered on funny. We're here for the demographic that finds things besides fake news stories funny.

We need YOU to spread the news about CP. Email friends. Do a blog post. Put a banner on your website. Hell, put a banner on your house. Just tell people about the new voice in humor, Clay Pigeon.

Anyhow, go visit and post a comment here or there about how hard you laughed. Then be sure to check it out each and every Monday, with new articles and interviews. Enjoy!

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CERTAIN REGULAR CCS READERS: While I feel the vast majority of you will thoroughly enjoy the Clay Pigeon, please be aware that this is not a Christian humor magazine. I think there's a "sh#t" or two in this first issue. Maybe even a "f#ck". Sorry, but those weren't my articles to edit*. Besides, those are just scatalogical humor words. There is no taking of the Lord's name in vain**.
At any rate, please visit Lark News for all your "Christian humor" needs.

Or don't. Whatever.



* ...OR WERE THEY?!? (dun-dun-dun...)
** and if there is, then it for real wasn't my article to edit.


Back with crumminess tomorrow.

Keep 'em coming.

-------------------------------------------------

submitted by Jessy R.
I can't top Jessy's story behind this picture, so I'm just going to copy and paste from the email:

"The cop who pulled up behind me while I was taking this shot in the rain at 11:30 pm didn't understand the crumminess of this sign. After searching my camera case, and ensuring that I wasn't plotting to blow up the church, he was willing to listen to my explanation. I informed him of a site that "features church signs" (small town…didn't want to offend him if he was a member), and that I was hoping to submit this shot. He looked back and forth from my camera to the sign before muttering (and I'm quoting):

'Spiritually poor? Yeah, and I'm a cop to I'm financially poor too. Thanks for the reminder.' "
