I found a really funny site last night, kind of like a Christian evangelical version of The Onion (well, a poor imitation of The Onion if it were evangelical, at least). It's a faux news site called Lark News. Unfortunately, they haven't been updated since December 2008.
Here are some of my favorites:
The first two have to do how Europeans see American evangelical culture.
The French think Jesse Duplantis is a comedian!

Evangelical phrasebook for German tourists. Why could I see something like this actually happening? I like the part about an evangelical-speaking club in Germany. Hint: you better not ever tell a German "it's all under the blood" because they might think it has something to do with the World Wars.

TBN mock-a-thon! I always thought some preachers should have a laugh track . . .

Agnostic enjoys church evangelism freebies. Why can I relate to this in a strange way, LOL? I like how he thinks Baptists backed him into the corner and argued with him. Sounds familiar, LOL. The Lutherans and Methodists sound cool, though.

OK, enough of that.
Happy New Years, everyone.
I really don't have any resolutions, except things I would try to do anyway, whether a new year were coming or not.
Lose weight, since I'm a fatty, but because of medicine I used to take. I lost about 10 pounds in the last few weeks since stopping the medicine.
Study a couple of languages. I'm really into German right now, but the excitement is starting to wear off. Need to get back into Spanish, since it's my best language. Thinking about Mandarin, but often wonder, "What am I thinking!" Esperanto might be fun, too, but I don't know if I want o learn it. French & Dutch I'll probably just peruse. And of course, stop buying every freakin' language book that catches my eye (*cough* Teach Yourself Norwegian *cough*).
Get A's in all my courses. A lofty goal, yes, but it's something to shoot for.
Find a job. Very important.
Get into birding and find some experienced birders to show me the ropes.
See, told you I'm dull.
Happy New Year.
