Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 13, 2017

Pig, just don’t get baptized if you want to dance under a stick for eternity.

How low can you go?…

Let us conclude today’s services by rising and singing “Limbo Rock.”

I favor the third possibility, oblivion.

In Latter-day Saint theology, it’s the spirit world… where Rat would misinterpret that as drinking saké, vodka, and other alcoholic beverages for eternity.

Every limbo boy and girl… all around the limbo world…

The best eternity ever? Not for the majority that died when they were old.

Well, unless that Pole is Roman Polanski…

I wonder how many chiropractors would agree with Pig’s theology.

Whether you turn into ash, or your body decomposes, the only possibility is that you will still be a part of the cosmos. One way or the other. The cosmic elements we’re made of will simply continue to exist in some other form.

I’ve heard of worse.

I have the first album called “Limbo”, but I need to go to iTunes and purchase “Eternal Limbo”, the extended version?

I don’t want to go to Heaven, I’d miss all my friends!

First law of Thermodynamics.

There’s always reincarnation.

If he looked at what the scriptures actually say, he would realize that there is something else….the opportunity to be brought back to life as the same human being you were, with the prospect of growing to perfection and living forever in a peaceful earth. When you consider the Bible record of all those that were resurrected, [other than Jesus] all were brought back to life as humans, not “spirits”

“Limbo Rock” is actually a pretty catchy tune but I think it would get old after a couple of plays.

It is the best, Pig, at least with the right people doing the dancing.

The afterlife that’s hardest on your knees.

Ha ha wondered why he didn’t use purgatory. Looked up the difference between Limbo and Purgatory. So glad I don’t believe in all that stuff so much of it is insanely cruel and unforgiving.

eternal limbo music. sounds like hell to me.

Other possibilities are Purgatory and Nothing

This was a missed opportunity for a Rush Limbo pun.

I can’t resist passing this on to you all, though late in the day – - –

Seems there really are extraterrestrials out there. Sure enough, they paid us a visit, too! As it happens, their scout ship landed in the backyard of a Baptist preacher. The preacher runs out and embraces the ETs, welcoming them to Earth. Luckily they speak English, having watched our TV for years.

Preacher says, “I’m so happy you’re here, brothers! Tell me, do you know Jesus Christ?”

Alien says, “Know him? He’s our best friend, and he comes to visit us often!”

“Often?”

“Yes, once a month at least.”

“Why, that’s incredible!” says the preacher, “We’ve been waiting 2000 years for a return visit!!”

Alien thinks about it and says, “Well, maybe he doesn’t care for your chocolate.”

“Chocolate? What do you mean?”

“Well, preacher, every time he visits, we give him our best chocolates. Why? What do you do for him?”

How do people know and where’s the proof

I’m in no Rush to get to Limbo.

just for you, Pig, why not?

As for me, I think I’ll have a ham sandwich….

Limbo, the pole-dance of eternity..
