"To the Baptist "You have been a good a faithful Baptist. You may now drink in public in Heaven." "

THAT, OTOH, is right on the money! LOL!

[OKSooner]

""Those are the Baptists", he explained. "They think they are the only one's here"."

That's a pretty good one too.

[Red Badger]

I am a Baptist. I gotta million of 'em!......

[Darnright]

Perhaps the natives are worried a party honoring Freddie might have an uninvited guest?

[ZULU]

I guess some Americans don't know what real rock and roll was.

It wasn't about homosexuals.

Faced with fierce opposition from Islamists

This really sums it up. And not just Freddie Mercury's birthday bash, either. Our whole modern, western civilization is faced with fierce opposition from Islamists and we seem hell bent on kowtowing to their requests that we change our ... everything. Oh, we'll have to work to catch up to places in Europe and Africa, but we seem willing...

Little Richard wasn't rock and roll?

[ZULU]

Beach Boys, Beetles, Chuck Berry, Danny and the Juniors, the Drifters, the Everly Brothers, Bill Halley and the Commets, Little Eva, etc. = Rock and Roll.

Little Richard = Freak.

ROFL. Awesome. Okay, we've been bashing Baptists long enough. Know any good Lutheran jokes?

How can you tell a Lutheran congregation got the joke in the sermon?

They're smiling as loudly as they can.

When Ole quit farming, he discovered that he was the only Lutheran in his new little town of Catholics. That was okay, but the neighbors had a problem with his barbecuing beef every Friday. Since they couldn't eat meat on Friday, the tempting aroma was getting the best of them. Hoping they could do something to stop this, the neighbors got together and went over to talk to Ole. "Ole," they said, "since you are the only Lutheran in this whole town and there's not a Lutheran church for many miles, we think you should join our church and become a Catholic." Ole thought about it for a minute and decided they were probably right. Ole talked to the priest, and they arranged it.

The big day came and the priest had Ole kneel. He put his hand on Ole's head and said, "Ole, you were born a Lutheran, you were raised a Lutheran, and now," he said as he sprinkled some incense over Ole's head, "now you are a Catholic!"

Ole was happy and the neighbors were happy. But the following Friday evening at suppertime, there was again the aroma of grilled beef coming from Ole's yard. The neighbors went to talk to him about this and as they approached the fence, they heard Ole saying to the steak: "You were born a beef, you were raised a beef", and as he sprinkled salt over the meat he said, "and NOW you are a FISH!"

Well yeah I guess Little Richard doesn't rock as well as Little Eva. /sarc

I'd rather spend a weekend with Freddy M (as fruity as he was)....than a minute with any of those GoatBanger Mohammedens...

[ZULU]

Whatever floats your boat.

If Little Richard is your idea of a preferred companion - have fun.

I'd rather spend the weekend with Little Eva.

[zimdog]

I haven't heard that joke since I left Minnesota a few years back.

It never gets old.

*snicker*

[dennisw]

I hear the Moos are really pissed because whenever ol' Freddy took it __ the ___, he would scream out Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad! Yes my prophet, yes, yes, yes!

[Red Badger]

Groucho Marx once said, "There's no such thing as an "old joke" if you've never heard it before."..........

Saidi also lamented that the cancellation would hurt his intention to use the party to raise money for HIV/AIDS victims on Zanzibar.

Silly. There are no AIDS victims on Zanzibar because they're mostly Muslims. /sarcasm
