The world was created by Orzo, the father of all gods. He married Macaroni and begot Rotini, the god of war and his sister, Vermacelli.

When this nut job goes dressed in a suit and tie for a job interview, he’ll have to present his drivers license to the interviewer. The result of the interview will be:”Don’t call us we won’t call you ever”

Go Tech!?! My alma mater. If someone is determined to be a doofus and take a picture to document it, why stand in his way?

“There is indeed a kind of animal, neither male nor female, a thing of the neuter gender, lately [1770] started up among us. It is called a macaroni. It talks without meaning, it smiles without pleasantry, it eats without appetite, it rides without exercise, it wenches without passion”

He seemed pretty concerned that a religion that has head-wear not be insulted.

That's because he doesn't want to lose his.

No doubt. It is easier to ridicule a religion that advocates loving your enemy than one that advocates killing everyone that disagrees with theirs!

This is simply ONE of over 2000 religions worldwide that America will have to honor with special facilities, holidays and policies/procedures to include new government laws to protect their integrity and rights.

I’m thinking of starting a free for all sex religion. Wanna join?
