While I think your description is still overly kind, I tend to agree with the sentiment.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Spectacular. I'm glad they nailed the Palpatine softball. It would have felt wrong if they didn't. The deadpan delivery, however, was spectacular.

How is it possible to go over the top in reaction to something like this? If this can't be mocked mercilessly, nothing can.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post
Speaking of which, I need to post a link to this awesome thread that was posted when this fine piece of shart was first released. A series of responses to the painting, all composed in haiku form. Enjoy!

This painting reminds me of Faith's and my wedding day, fifteen years ago this month. We decided to piss off all of the relatives by getting married in Manti, which was an inconvenient drive for most everyone, but in our opinion Manti is the prettiest temple, so aesthetics ruled the day.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post
Unfortunately, where Manti attracted some of the best Mormon architectural talent, way back in the day, it was unable to attract equivalent talent in sealers, and we lost big time in the wedding sealer lottery. The dude talked about how important it was to remember that we were being sealed as future kings and queens in the celestial kingdom, and that to remind himself of this he always referred to his wife as 'Queenie.' This would have been funny enough had Faith not had an aunt with a Doberman Pincer named Queenie, which caused her to let out a snorty-laugh when the sealer first mentioned his wife. Hearing the snort/laugh, the sealer began a very long and awkward pause, so indelibly imprinting the moment on our guests memory that we would later have to explain about the Doberman Pincer to all of our wedding guests.
Anyhow, on the drive back to Provo, where we would hold our wedding reception, I decided to pull over near a turkey ranch, where I had the ingenious idea we might consummate our wedding, right there in the car. After a minute of awkward fumbling, we mutually decided that the Toyota Corolla simply wasn't built for such activity, and we called it quits having only scandalized the few perverted turkeys that had gathered to watch us. That was the first time I ever really got a close look at the grotesque face of a turkey, and I thought to myself, 'these birds look like the hordes of Cthulhu.'
So now, whenever I see a reference to Cthulhu, I think about our wedding day.Comment
