a shocking development!

You better strike him at least 8 times. According to an internet search:

“Park ranger Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times throughout his life and survived each time. Sullivan is recognized by Guinness world records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than anybody else. Roy Sullivan was born in Greene County, Virginia on February 7, 1912.”

The gods must be crazy… when they are not vicious

This must be the opposite of a guardian angel. I’m not sure what to call him. Bully angel, maybe?

Musta been green plaid, huh John!? ㋡

What are the odds of that? Like winning the lottery?

Really?

The Lord works in mysterious ways, it’s true.

That puts “looking out for number one” in a whole new light(ning).

Divine intervention.

After that he’ll be getting into a bottle of Guinness!!!

They remind me of the Golf Gods that hang around on clouds arguing which of them was going to ruin my round on any given day, e.g. the Chipping God says to the Putting God, “It’s my turn today! You wrecked his round last time!”

He bolt a strike, and he’s not even bowling.

He may be coming to see you soon.

He’ll be pretty Thor about that.

Hi Bleeb! You forgot your halo again! And DON’T look up any of those dresses! :)

That feels like a Zeus thing to be honest

He’ll get a charge out of it. I wonder what kind of interest rate he gets? You know, on his charge card…

Nice hair.

Bleeb has his files stored in the cloud.

Interestingly the God of the bible never used lightning, that was mostly zeus, jupiter and thor, God mostly struck people down with fire.

Bleebs waving to everyone from heaven. Hi Bleeb!

Quite the sizzle
