The wild ride of the Stag God at 10 mph towards the BBQ

The local Christian college has one of those events where prospective students come and get a tour, etc, like most colleges.

For some reason, they use this as the banner for it on their home page:

HERNE THE HUNTER

I’m not sure why the high school outreach admissions event for a Bible college should be represented by a figure with the body of an Office Casual man in chinos and buttondown shirt, and the head of a stag. It puts one in mind of Herne the Hunter or Cernunnos rather than Our Lord. And why the hell is he on a SEGWAY?

Happy, uh, Porn Sunday?

Pharyngula invites all of us to celebrate xxxchurch.com‘s bizarre post-everything Christian Porn Crusader event National Porn Sunday with some FISH SEX. (All links SFW unless you work for uptight fish.) I seriously cannot tell if Porn Sunday is a gigantic prank on the evangelical world or if they’re for real. I mean, look at their 30 second ad starring Pete the Puppet or their customized van for spreading the word. And the T Shirt?

Tell me, folks. Has evangelical culture gotten this bizarre, or are all these pastors being taken for a gigantic ride? OR BOTH?

I hate you, milkman eyeteeth

brontes

Yes, this was an actual Disney animated television show pilot in 2003. The artist who did this is mostly known for gay beefcake art (NSFW), apparently. He’s also a successful caricaturist (ranai do you know this guy?). I wish he didn’t look so much like Jeff Gannon but I guess that clone look goes with the territory. Walt Disney presents: Tom of Finland… on ICE!

The Brontës, though? Disney? WHAT THE…

The X-Files meets Reno 911

From Chuck Shepherd’s News of the Weird blog, the usual stolen ambulance with high speed chase, driver dressed in medical outfit, dead deer in the back hooked up to IV. You know.

turnip: This guy is from Jax. You party with him?

Davidson County, NC — We have new and bizarre details about the man accused of stealing a Davidson county ambulance and strapping a week-old deer carcass to the gurney. Investigators say Leon Hollimon stole the ambulance and led police on a three-county chase this past weekend. When they caught him, he was wearing a stethoscope, pager and had two latex gloves in his back pocket. The deer was attached to an IV. Investigators say they’re not sure where Hollimon is from, but he has a large number of arrests in the Jacksonville, Florida area and may be from there. They say they don’t yet know how he ended up in Lexington.

He’s currently having a mental evaluation at a state hospital in Butner.

The Ballad of Jesse Frederick

This is a marvellously obsessive guide to the career of the guy who wrote the themes to “Family Matters”, “Full House”, “Step By Step”, and “Perfect Strangers”.

There are far, far too many mp3s. I also found out that Mr. Frederick did the theme to a show from 1997 in which Bronson Pinchot played a space alien named “Meego”. I never thought Lovecraft was adaptable to sitcoms!
