Hey Greg

It has been a while since I've posted anything, but after reading that link, I just couldn't resist thinking of the following "bibles", which if offered by the fine folks at TN publishing, would undoubtedly be best sellers. In no particular order (and in the spirit of the "Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Bible" now offered by TNP), here they are:

1. The Daily Shitter's Life Application Bible: a daily guide to finding God's word in all of your movements;

2. The Queefer's Companion Bible (no subtitle needed as this is printed in honor of Southpark's second most-famous cartoon show from the Canada Channel);

3. The Bible for Dummies (I'm sure that's out there already, but if not, TNP is missing a huge market);

4. The Marksman's Bible: a guide on how to hit the bullseye with God every time;

5. The Chilton Bible: how to work on your ride and read God's word in the same garage setting;

6. The Driver's Bible: now you can drive and read God's word at the same time;

7. The Bible in SMS: (I'm not clever enough at the moment to give a subtitle here, but if I were, it would be in pure SMS text language, as would this entire "version" of the bible).

I am out of time to stretch my brain, but surely someone in the TNP sales and marketing group could do a few of these and achieve a nice quarterly sales award.

Don't forget the LOLcat Bible.

I can't believe I forgot to mention this new bible to you when I saw it about a month ago. I was in a Mardels and I was playing the classic game, "Name that denomination".

But now I'm wondering if the new patriot bible will come with a forward by "W". Then in the Old Testament you will see verses and entire passages that deal with genocide and invading another country with a Dick Cheney, "I approve of this message" commentary.

Of course the best though would be if it came with a more, "spiritualized" version of the Team America theme song.

What is more troubling to me is that you admit to being inside a Mardels store--what were you thinking? Did John Hagee get ahold of your soul? The other troubling thing about your trip to Mardels is that you didn't buy a ram's horn. Ram's horns rock.

I still think that evangelical ring tones for cell phones, when marketed via proper channels, would sell billions to the blind and dumb, e.g., "if it only reaches one, then it was worth it."

There's already an SMS bible, but I don't know how to hyperlink here. Just do a google search.
