BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- The Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles is allowing a Pastafarian woman to wear a colander in her driverâs license picture.
This comes after The American Humanist Associationâs Appignani Humanist Legal Center's attorneys were enlisted to assist with the woman's appeal after she was denied the right to wear it in her license photo by the RMV.
Lindsay Miller says she is a Pastafarian, also known as a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which is a secular religion that believes the existence of a "spaghetti monster" to be just as possible as the existence of God. So she filed an administrative appeal and was scheduled to attend an appeal in October about the matter, but it was postponed and the RMV has decided to let her wear the spaghetti strainer in her photo.
Miller said, "As a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I feel delighted that my Pastafarianism has been respected by the Massachusetts RMV. While I don't think the government can involve itself in matters of religion, I do hope this decision encourages my fellow Pastafarian Atheists to come out and express themselves as I have."

“Is she a member of the Reformed Alfredan sect, or an Orthodox Marinaran?”
I have no idea.
However, given that she is wearing a METAL colander, and not one of the newer, cooler, silicon ones, and has wide hips, I’d guess that she is a Fundamental Macaroniist.
So her, “Hymn to the Ched-Ahr” is in very good taste, no doubt.
There is a Mosque next door to a shopping center that has a kids clothing store where my wife and I shopped when our son was small. Those Wahabists were in there a lot. One just shakes ones head and does their best not to stare
What a fool. I can’t stand these idiots that feel compelled to be special little snowflakes. No doubt she had nothing else to do with her life than sit around the DMV and argue with the folks there for hours. Holding up other decent, hard-working citizens who want no part in this.
Spaghetti Sauce with Hamburger
You will need:
2 tsp oregano
1-1/2 tsp sweet basil
1 TBS white sugar (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp thyme
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 medium onion
4 cloves garlic
1/2 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 TBS parsley
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 very small pinch of cinnamon
1 tablespoon grape jelly
6 oz can tomato paste
28 oz can crushed tomato sauce
1 medium carrot
1/4 cup Merlot wine
1 pinch dried rosemary leaves
1 lb hamburger
1/2 cup mushrooms, either canned or fresh (Portabellas are the best)
Olive oil to saute vegetables
Method:
1. In a food processor, chop onion, and bell peppers. Use a knife to mince the garlic.
2. Cook the hamburger in a fry pan, breaking up into small bits. Drain the hamburger.
3. In the pot you are going to simmer the sauce: Heat the pan and add the olive oil. Add the chopped vegetables from the food processor. Saute until onions are opaque.
1. Meanwhile, chop the carrot and put in with half of the tomato sauce, in a food processor or blender. Add the parsley and puree all until smooth.
4. Use the other half of the sauce to stop the saute process of the vegetables.
5. If using canned mushrooms, drain the liquid. Do not put the mushroom liquid into the sauce. It gives it an off flavor.
6. When the carrot tomato sauce mix has finished blending the carrots and parsley, add to the pan with the tomato sauce and the vegetables. Add the hamburger and the rest of the ingredients, and simmer in the pot uncovered, stirring every 10 minutes, until the sauce is thick. Add sugar at the moment the proper thickness is reached to give the sweetness desired. I like my sauce on the sweet side, which seems to bring out the rich seasonings found in this recipe.
To think this nation started in Mass...and now, Mass has degenerated into total irrelevancy.
What ever you do, DON’T show her your noodle!
You do get its a form of protest right?
Save
Creep-o-rama. If you had not been familiar with her religion, it would be easy to call her a freak, worse than a die-hard Hari-Krishna(sp). It is not modesty, it is psychotic submission of a 7th century variety.
Definitely an improvement.
Is a salad included with the pasta, or is that like, a side-order god you have to pray to?
I eat pasta several times a week.. would that be considered blasphemous or partaking in the body of spaghetti monster in celebration? ;)
I love her.
Obviously a Muslim.
Not having seen that before here it gave me the absolute creeps.
It was like coming across someone who had their whole body burned in a fire, yet in this case she chose to look so ugly.
Those women must be a real challenge to tag in Facebook photos.
It’s a f***ing joke.
This is amusing if it was meant as a rip on Muslims.
And I thought my passport photo was bad...
“She is a catch, I would date her in two seconds”
If this was to rip on Muslims, good for her.
But...eh I wouldn’t go that far. I might let her flog the bishop but I’d give her a fake name.
