WONKAISM!
I was watching a TV show last night and there was a character that looked a little odd. I turned to my wife and said..."that guy looks like an OOMPA-LOOMPA without make-up".
After the show, on the previews for next week's show, the main character has some mishap with self tanning solutions and is a bright orange. A supporting character looks over to him and says "you look like an OOMPA-LOOMPA"!
What else can this be except for a revelation from god (Wonka)? The show was NOT a repeat, so the previews for the next show could not have been seen before...and anyway, MY oompa-loompa was a different character who was never shown on the show before!
Now...if I can only get millions of people to buy this, maybe in 2000 years, I will be rememberd as some sort of prophet of Wonkaism. For that is how all this crap starts...no? A mis-conception...a mis-fire of the belief engine.
Or maybe I am REALLY on to something!

| Speaking of misfires on the belief engine, you haven't dropped in on that thread recently, Mr. P. |

No...I am on somewhat of a break...to much going on in life and in my head for intense debate right now. I need a vacation so to speak...so I am keeping it as light as possible.

| Well, I hope you'll keep that thread in mind when you decide to jump back into the fray. I think it's an interesting subject. |

I just laughed out loud.
Pretty much the line of thinking that I encounter more and more with my Christian friends that are trying to convert me and don't understand why I Can't follow their "logic." Yikes! |
