In the spirit of ecumenicism, I decided to include both Mormon and Catholic references.

quote:
Did you hear about the new association being started by Gordon B. Hinckley and Mother Angelica?

Incidentally, if you don't know who either of these people is, you'd better look them up now. See, I don't aim just to amuse; I also provide an oppurtunity for you to increase your knowledge.
Anyway, back to the punch line.

It will be a nun-prophet organization.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I will grant that pun a snort. [Smile]

Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :

Most people don't know the difference between a nun-prophet organization and a nun-for-prophet organization.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Is the latter some kind of Mormon/Catholic prisoner exchange program?

I didn't know we were taking hostages.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

[ROFL]

Now THAT was funny. I actually laughed at that.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Well, I need to know. I'll be seriously outnumbered at any Hatrack gatherings.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I got the duct tape and the gag.

Where are we gonna keep him folks?

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

But the nun-for-prophet trades won't work for you...you're not a nun.

Posted by Dobbie (Member # 3881) on :

Nun-for-profit.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

I got your back Dag. That makes 2 Catholics......against...oh boy.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Are you up on your secret Jesuit fighting style?

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

I am a disgruntled Catholic, Dag. You can count me in when it is convenient for me.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

If you admit to being Catholic ( [Wink]

) you go on my "Why I need more duct tape" list for the next gathering.

I suppose you guys could start holding Mormons hostage....I wonder what the outcome of that would be?

[Big Grin]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

You're not a really big fan of Steven Spielberg, are you? I mean, with that duct tape obsession and all. [Wink]

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Narnia, I could teach you the way of the duct tape, but then I'd be strung up and left to die. [Big Grin]

Those of us that are engineering types (especially Navy) know all about duct tape. [Razz]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

lol

I wouldn't leave you to die.

I might just get feathers and let all the Mormons tickle your noses for a while. [Wink]

And don't laugh at my duct tape obsession Dag.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Hmmm...Dag, Would you accept the aid of a Philistine?

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Dag, if we caught enough of them, we could invent a prayer-powered automobile and make millions!

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Of course. That should Phil up the group nicely.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Philistine was perhaps a bit of a misnomer. At present I can't think of a fitting appelation. I would like to say though that freeing you from propheteers seems like a noble calling.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Propheteers or racketeers?

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

That at least makes four of us. Just enough to dress out to be a modern 3 Musketeers (since there were 4 anyway).

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

We have to carry muskets? I'd prefer muskrats, they're less likely to explode on us.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

I was thinking Super soakers and silly string. [Smile]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Super soakers are good. Silly string is messy.

Which is also good.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Great. Now you're ganging up!

Why am I the only Mormon that wants to tickle the captive Catholics??

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Ok, let's assume that you've managed to snare Dagonee. Who's gonna play Host to the captive?

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Narnia, your threats to tickle are hardly that. [Smile]

You do promise to tickle right?

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

[Smile]

Only if I had help!!

And only feathers under noses. None of that rated R, non Mormon tickling. [Big Grin]

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Hmm. Punwit, we will have to communioncate nonverbally.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

*Glad nose isn't ticklish*
*Thwarting Narnia's plan*

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Hm. My plan will not be thwarted....

*thinks*

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

*uses his wristwatch laser to cut the duct tape*

You mean Jesuit-jitsu?

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

That's one of three major styles: Jesuit-jitsu, Jeskwando, and Jes-fu.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

Anyone read Lamb by Christopher Moore? According to this amazing book, jujuitsu is actually "jew-juitsu" because Jesus invented it before he began his ministry...

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

How does hand-to-hand combat fit in with "He who lives by the sword..."

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

[ROFL]

You all are way too much after an 11 hour work day!

Nun-for-prophet . . .

*laughs some more*

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Well the Jews in their Jew-jitsuism are invited to help the Catholics in covering the Mormons in silly string. [Big Grin]

That was milk snortin through my nose funny!!

[Evil Laugh]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Ah, I love this thread!! *nostalgia* [Smile]

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Whomever is "hosting" Dag, be careful....

He bites.

If he doesn't wafer out of it first.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Are you saying that Dag could legally talk himself out of duct tape??

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

I believe so.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

No, only red tape. Dag's powerless against duct tape, even when he wears his cape.

Posted by Princess Leah (Member # 6026) on :

Ah, yes. The trick with duct tape is to have a hood and mask as well. Or, if these are unavaliable, a sidekick.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I'm a Mormon with a Catholic (at least on one side) family. Have I been unwittingly helping the enemy all this time?

Should I make up for it by capturing my aunt? She's very devout. I'd say she's at least worth a Bishop, if not a Stake President.
