What 100 Famous Unitarians And Universalists Poster?!!

Never heard of it myself. . . but somebody from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ran a Google search for - 100 Famous Unitarians and Universalists poster - earlier today.

The Wonderful Wizard Of U*Us Was Pleased To Welcome A Visitor From Kansas Today. . . Was There A Tornado Near Lawrence, Kansas, Or Something?

Just saying as they say. . .

The AltaVista Search Engine Lives! And Kicks Hypocritical U*U Butt Right Across The Atlantic Ocean. . .

Well at least someone in the UK ran a somewhat confU*Used search for a YouTube aka U*UTube video of the hit song "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" using the venerable AltaVista search engine today. AltaVista was my favorite search engine way back when in the late 1990's before Google took over the interconnected interweb of all existence. . . I even had some free AltaVista hosted web sites for a while, including one dedicated to dealing with U*U clergy misconduct.

As the luck of the U*Us would have it, this presumed resident of the United Kingdom aka the British Isles more or less found what they were looking for* too!

It's not clear what version of 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' this person was freely and responsibly searching for. . . The famous "classic" Nancy Sinatra hit song? The "countrified" Jessica Simpson "remake" for the Duke's Of Hazzard movie? The "punkified" version by The Plasticines? The borifying Nazi*fied Faster Pussycat version? The hiphop*ified Lil' Kim version? The MegaDeath thrash metal version perhaps? The rather spicy Geri Halliwell version? Who knows?



*U2 aka UU reference intended. ;-)

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead Is Sung By Klaus Nomi In Celebration Of The Resignation Of UUA Bureaucrat Rev. Dr. Tracey Robinson-Harris

Update Friday April 17, 2009 -

The original YouTube video of Klaus Nomi singing 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' that I embedded in this blog post commemorating Rev. Dr. Tracey Robinson-Harris' "melting" away from the UUA after having a cup of TEA spilled on her. . . "has been removed due to terms of use violation" so I scrounged around a bit and "skipped to the next available video" as it were which includes the very same Klaus Nomi recording. I know U*Us are just going to love standing on the side of love for *this* particular YouTube video aren't U*Us?



Update Monday April 20, 2009 -

It looks like the Klaus Nomi video that was removed has been "resurrected" in about three days. . . so I have embedded that new one in place of the original "disappeared" YouTube video.

Les Hommes Ne Font Jamais Le Mal Si Complètement Et Joyeusement Que Lorsqu’ils Le Font Par Conviction Religieuse - Blaise Pascal Pensées

"Les hommes ne font jamais le mal si complètement et joyeusement
que lorsqu’ils le font par conviction religieuse."

Blaise Pascal, philosophe français, (1623-1662)

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."

More literally -

"Men never do evil so completely and joyfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."

Blaise Pascal, French philosopher, (1623-1662)

This Robin Edgar Quote May Be Good Enough For Bartlett's Familiar Quotations Even If It Is Not All That Familiar Yet. . .

"Just because there are irrational beliefs about God, does not mean that belief in God is irrational."

A quotable saying coined by Robin Edgar on Friday March 20, 2009*


* Although the basic idea has been in my head for quite some time now and has been expressed here and there in other words.
