Welcome SCL fans!
While there may be no better way, around here at least, to stir up a good debate among Christians than to question the merits of hymns versus praise chori, I do not want to stir up a good debate right now. (And “chori” is the Latin pluralization of chorus, so it’s holier than “choruses”.)
I wrote this blog post mostly to send my regular readers, some of whom don’t regularly check SCL, to SCL. For my regular readers who are not familiar with the acronym SCL: it is short for Stuff Christians Like. Jon runs that blog and was gracious enough publish a guest post that I wrote.
But so that you, dear SCL reader who followed the link from there to here in the hopes that you would be further amused, are not disappointed, I will provide you with one bit of praise chori humor.
Click on the picture for a slightly larger version. If you’re not familiar with the Blues Brothers, then it probably doesn’t make much sense to you.
I am sure that there is an SCL post waiting to be written on this subject, but I’ll let someone else run with it. I’m all creativitied-out for today.
Praise the LORD!Sing to the LORD a new song,And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
Psalm 149:1

Here is my contribution to the world of visual puns:
Prov-together, prov-alone.
That’s a lonely slice of provolone there.
And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'”

In my hobby of conjugating non-verbs, I came across the word “browser”. I thought it would be a fun example because I could use various internet browser logos.
So here is my submission for the various forms of the word “browse”: browse, browser, and browsest.
I know, “browsest” isn’t a word, and that’s not how words are conjugated anyway. And there was no ranking criteria either. I would have liked to use the Safari logo, but there were only three forms of the word, so I had to limit it to three browsers. For the internetally-challenged: the logos are Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Should he argue with useless talk,Or with words which are not profitable?

The Cheezburger Network combines the best and worst of the internet: it’s amusing and clever but it’s a waste of time. Okay, maybe there are worse things than just wasting time.
The CN sites follow the same formula: take a photo and add a caption to make it funny. It can get old quickly. And the CN can contain material that is inappropriate for children.
Or inappropriate for anyone.
But they do have one site, So Much Pun, that is slightly different from the others. I may or may not submit the following picture to them. You may see it on there eventually, but you will have seen it here first.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the technical details of typography and therefore do not quite get the pun, you might want to learn more about kerning.
Kerned beef is beef that had its letter spacing optimized.
And those of you who are not familiar with corned beef might as well just forget you even saw this post.
And he wrote a letter having this form:

Last night, my wife made an observation which turned out to be a very good, albeit unintentional, pun.
We were driving through town when she noticed the local spa was offering over-priced eyebrow waxing.
“Eyebrow wax for $10? What a rip-off!” she exclaimed.
If I need to add any explanation, then it is not going to be as funny.
When I heard about this matter, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled some of the hair from my head and my beard, and sat down appalled.
Ezra 9:3

This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
This is Gamma, the third-born, when he was about 18MO.
