Transcript:
Evan thought it was a typo
but it turns out
they really were
nose-cancelling headphones

They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;

Cake Server

This is what’s called a cake server.

It cuts the cake and puts the slice on your plate.

If you’re hungry, or if it’s a small cake, you could cut the cake in half and get a big piece.

But that’s only part of the job – you also need something to get the cake from the plate to your mouth.

This is what’s called a fork.

It finishes the job.

To get cake from the pan/tray to your mouth, you need two utensils – a server and a fork.

I propose this: combine a fork with a cake server.

Then you could get that very large slice of cake and consume it, while using only one piece of cutlery.

In other words, it lets you halve your cake and eat it too.

Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

Leviticus 24:5

What Child is This? Update

A song, for tired parents. If you’ve been awakened too many nights by a fussy child, this song is for you.

sheet music for What Child is This remix for tired parents of young children

Verse 1
What child is this who, laid to rest Refuses to keep sleeping?
Whom parents greet with shuffling feet, And causes them much weeping?
This, this is nothing new, The hours of sleep are far too few;
Haste, haste, to bring him milk, The baby, who wants dairy.

Verse 2
Why lies he in such mean a mood, And wish-es to be feeding?
Good parents, fear, to toddler here the quiet is conceding.
Wails, yells pierce parent through, he’s crying now for me, for you.
Rush, rush to make him hush, the babe, who’s quiet rarely.

Verse 3
So bring him bottles, toys, and books, Come parent, soon to calm him;
The need of things insomnia brings, Try music, poem; try psalm, hymn.
Raise, raise a song on high, The mother sings a lullaby.
Joy, joy for he’s asleep, The baby, calm now, barely.

After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 2:11

Rudolph’s Classic Line

Picture showing Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer being queued in a line with Clarice. I'm queued!

Transcript:
Rudolph: I hope I’m in the right line for tickets.
Rudolph: Excuse me, is this the queue for tickets?
Clarice: Yes, it is.
Rudolph: Am I properly queued?
Clarice: You are queued.
Rudolph: I’m queued! I’m queued! She said I’m queued!
Clarice: Very queued indeed.

I know the line is supposed to be “I’m cute!” but due to Rudolph’s cold, it always sounds like “I’m queued!” to me. Next year, maybe I’ll make a similar joke but with Rudolph shooting pool.

My beloved is dazzling and ruddy,
Outstanding among ten thousand.

Song of Solomon 5:10

Jay Cutlery

This is the second image regarding Jay Cutler. The other image is from last year.

Jay Cutler combined with cutlery to make a jay cutlery set

There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords
And his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.

Proverbs 30:14

Cherry Hostile

Why are cherry-filled chocolates always friendly?

cherry cordial and cherry hostile are two different desserts

I’m not quite sure what would make a dessert into a cherry hostile, but I’d guess it involves very spicy hot sauce.

For those who are interested, you can buy Cherry Hostile T-shirts and merchandise.

Be hostile to the Midianites and strike them;

Numbers 25:17

It’s at Here

At a conference/training meeting, I noticed the recycling bins in the break room

They look to be fairly typical, but – as someone who was in school during the 90’s – I felt something was missing. So, thanks to the magic of photo-editing software, I upgraded their recycling bins:

Also, I apologize for the grammar of the title, but if you understood the photos then you’ll understand why I wrote the title that way.

For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.
