M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

OK, boys and girls, I’m off for a while.

Tomorrow after worship, I will travel to Mississippi with a group of 22 saints from Central Highlands Church. We will be there for a week-long mission trip.

Pray for us.

Miss me while I’m gone.

Eat all your veggies.

And, in the immortal words of Art Vandelay…

…”Keep it real.”

    I dislike veggies.

  4. on 26 Jul 2007 at 7:51 am   Poko

    Me too. I dislike veggies.

  5. on 26 Jul 2007 at 7:52 am   Yoko

    Not as much as me….

  6. on 26 Jul 2007 at 7:52 am   Poko

    Not true. I REALLY dislike them.

  7. on 26 Jul 2007 at 7:52 am   Yoko

    OK, in that case you win.

    On the season premiere of Saturday Night Live following Dr. Seuss’ death, the Reverend Jesse Jackson was a guest and declared that “Tonight, rather than read from First or Second Samuel, I read from ‘Sam I Am.’ Quoting the Latter Day Saint Seuss,” whereupon he read Green Eggs and Ham in the style of a preacher giving an impassioned sermon.

    On December 1, 1995, The University Library Building at the University of California, San Diego was renamed Geisel Library in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel. The Geisels were long-time residents of La Jolla, where UC San Diego is located. A sculpture of Dr. Seuss decorates the grounds of the library. Its Mandeville Special Collections Library contains many of his papers.

    Dr Seuss was frequently confused, by the US Postal Service among others, with Dr Suess (cf Hans Suess) his contemporary living in the same locality, La Jolla. Both names have been posthumously linked together: The personal papers of Hans Suess are housed in the Geisel Library at UCSD

  11. on 26 Jul 2007 at 3:22 pm   Suess

    Dr. Seuss was a friend and drinking partner of crime author Raymond Chandler, who was also a resident of La Jolla.

    The National Education Association celebrates March 2, Dr. Seuss’ Birthday, as Read Across America Day. Also known as some version of ‘Read Dr. Seuss Day’, some adopt the civic as well as fun responsibility to read a Dr. Seuss book to another.

    In November 2004, an edition of MAD Magazine (Mad #447) featured a cover story in which lines from Seuss’ books were compared with supposedly similar lines from speeches made by George W. Bush. It was titled “The Strange Similarities Between the Bush Administration and the World of Dr. Seuss.” The cover drawing was of a Cat in the Hat that resembled Bush.

    To quote the caveman on the most recent Geico commercial…what?

  26. on 27 Jul 2007 at 5:44 am   vandelay

    BTW, what is the difference between a pewboy and a pewman?

    Is this a comment contest? This may be doing better than the most recent blog entry on www.shaverland.blogspot.com.

    Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat.

  29. on 28 Jul 2007 at 7:08 am   seuss's friend

    Ok. Pete and repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat.

  30. on 28 Jul 2007 at 7:09 am   seuss's friend

    Ok, but just this once. Pete and repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat.

  31. on 28 Jul 2007 at 7:09 am   seuss's friend

    Aren’t you paying attention? Pete and repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat.

    Hey, this was your idea…

  34. on 30 Jul 2007 at 10:21 am   Seuss

    Yo…..

  35. on 30 Jul 2007 at 10:22 am   Seuss

    I was thinking…. is a comment read if there is no one to read it?

  36. on 30 Jul 2007 at 10:22 am   Seuss

    Or if a tree falls does the bear poop in the woods?

  37. on 30 Jul 2007 at 3:33 pm   seuss's friend

    I don’t know, Babs. But I do know this: In a nutshell, your uvula is on the fritz.

  38. on 30 Jul 2007 at 3:34 pm   seuss's friend

    And this “I was thinking” line got me to thinking:

    Reuben, Reuben I’ve been thinking
    What a grand world this would be
    If the men were all transported
    Far beyond the Northern Sea.

  39. on 30 Jul 2007 at 3:35 pm   seuss's friend

    Now why can I remember a song I learned in 4th grade music class but I can’t remember Scripture?

    Maybe that is how I will pass the time here at Pewboy’s place…trying to comment every time I think of a Scripture I’ve memorized.

    1. Jesus wept.

  41. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:23 am   Suess

    In the beginning?

  42. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:24 am   Suess

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
    2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

    3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

  43. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:24 am   Suess

    Ok…I admit that I copied and pasted. But shouldn’t that count?

  44. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:24 am   Suess

    Perhaps I should have gotten rid of the formating from Bible gateway!

  45. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:25 am   Suess

    45 responses and counting! Take that Shaverland!

  46. on 31 Jul 2007 at 12:21 pm   seuss's friend

    No, it’s 46.

  47. on 31 Jul 2007 at 12:22 pm   seuss's friend

    Opps…make that 47.

  48. on 31 Jul 2007 at 12:23 pm   seuss's friend

    I meant, of course, oops. Opps was just another oops.

  49. on 31 Jul 2007 at 12:23 pm   seuss's friend

    Now it is 49…do I hear 50?

  50. on 31 Jul 2007 at 12:24 pm   seuss's friend

    SOLD!

  51. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:10 pm   Seuss

    Sold? Whats for sale?

  52. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:11 pm   Seuss

    Are you trying to buy a vowel? If so, I’ll take a “H” please.

  53. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:11 pm   Seuss

    Green eggs and ham anyone?

  54. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:12 pm   Seuss

    Wait a minute, I might be done.

  55. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:12 pm   Seuss

    OK, maybe just this one.

  56. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:12 pm   Seuss

    Gee, I wish I could think of a good pun.

  57. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:13 pm   Seuss

    ’cause that would be fun.

  58. on 31 Jul 2007 at 11:13 pm   Seuss

    OK, I’m done (for today that is!)

    There once was a lady, Ilene,
    Who liver on distilled kerosene,
    But she started absorbin’
    A new hydrocarbon
    and since then she’d never benzene

  62. on 01 Aug 2007 at 3:06 pm   Seuss

    There was a young lady one fall
    Who wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
    The dress caught fire
    And burned her entire
    Front page, sporting section and all.

    There once was a kid named Darren
    Who’s room was surprisingly barren
    He had no toys
    Like all normal boys
    But he did believe in sharing

    For Keith…

    Extinction
    The dinos are gone
    i think they got hit by a bomb
    actually it was a meteor
    comets are sweater
    thank god they are not strong
