I heard this on Christian radio ( Mission Network News on Wednesday 5/25/11 ) and this is going to be the quote of the year. I have no doubt.
Here it comes.....
Get ready.....
"Believe it or not, underwear will be a conduit for the gospel."
And they were not even talking about the Catholic Church! Can you believe it?
So sounds like something Father O'Malley would say just before he diddles his latest altar boy.
But this was the host of the Mission Network News broadcast talking about a charity that collects underwear for kids after natural disasters. However, as an expression, this maybe THE DOUBLE ENTENDRE OF 2011.

So much has happened
Oh boy. So much has happened since I updated the Olde Travails Page, that I feel what's about to come your way is going to be some seemingly random stream of consciousness nonsense that's gonna seriously sound like ranting.
But I guess if rantings what it sounds like, So Be It.
As I sit here, I can hear the Service America guys installing my new A/C unit. Bang! Bang! Bang! - every two minutes on the sticking door handle on my front door.
I hope when they are done that I will be able to exit the house! Still haven't called the handyman to fix that. Or the Window Screens! Aaaaarggghhhhh! Hurricane Season soon. What a procrastinator I am. There you are, I admitted it. Isn't that the First Step to Change? Must ask one of mt tweeters - she keeps posting what seriously sound like her AA steps. Really. Stuff about her "Higher Power". You know the program.
We got Bin Laden. Yay! But people taking to the streets in celebration? Not sure that's really very seemly. But I guess, that's the British Reserve showing through the folds of my flag draped body.
Saw the Morgan Spurlock documentary "Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold", and while it most certainly had things to say that were quite interesting, Chomsky had it right when he told Spurlock "You dip your toe in the water and the next thing you know, you are swimming". So really as soon as he took the money, the movie was to some extent, out of his hands and under the control of the sponsors. Witness Pom shooting down all three of his somewhat innovative ad ideas for a standard attack ad on their competitors. Guess which ad shows in the movie?
So ultimately the movie comes out as a good idea that was of necessity hijacked and softened by the very forces it was exposing.
What else?
Saw the movie "Jane Eyre". Put it immediately on my "Best of 2011" Yahoo! Movies list.
The horror of the Summer Comic Book and Sequel Bloat has started at the movie theaters. "Fast Five" took a sh*tload of money and so did "Thor" on their respective opening weekends. The US movie industry is doomed unless it can break out of this cycle of endless nonsense.
I gave up on these movies perhaps 5 years ago. The rest of humanity will do so eventually.
Season Ticket for the Dolphins has been purchased - still no guarantee of a season. Next up, 24 tickets for SteveFest 2011.
Newt Gingrich is running for President. He has no chance of the Republican nomination. But all the "Committing Adultery while Impeaching Clinton" stories should at least keep the campaigning fun. Plus Rick with a silent "P" Santorum is running. We should start a a pool to try and guess when the first mainstream journalist will say "Man on Dog". Hehehe.
And finally, I have three words that need to be said, nay they need to be SHOUTED from the rooftops :-
"Zombie Strippers 2".
