Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 04, 2014

Maybe N means that what sounds like war was actually a celebration.

There’s actually well over 600 commandments in Leviticus.

And what about commandments 16 – 100,000,000? Huh? You can pick and choose, you MUST follow all 100,000,000 commandments or you are HELL bound!!

Amen!

I am surprised that the Huns celebrated Independence Day. They loathed anyone’s independence and tried their darndest to eliminate it.

And we all know what a roaring success THAT has been over the centuries.

Á propos of nothing in particular, does Spook hide a cell phone inhis beard?

and I always thought Betsy Ross designed our flag

There’s a neat story from ≈1812. Two small towns on the US/Canadian border were each given weapons and a store of gunpowder for national defense. Later, the Canadian town asked for a re-supply of powder. They explained the original supply had been used for fire works to help the Americans celebrate July 4th. Those are my kind of neighbors. :-)

Dig deeper my child.

Cmon plz,,,, we don’t all come from the ~USA, some of us lead perfectly normal lives.

Id has the same independence day we have.

AmyG, and HE used wash water to do it. Not sure the specific relevance here but the general symbolism is interesting.

So: Two guys are walking down the hill after the sermon, and one observes, “It wasn’t that the wine was great, or anything, but still… it was way better than the local water.” To which the second observed, “It reminded me of Welch’s Grape Juice!” [ I KNOW many of you protestants get that…. ]
