I’m Going to Hell, This I Know

There I was in a church gift store, in East Boston.  I have no real explanation for that set-up, but there I was.  I did a little walkabout.  And then I began perusing a tall lucite carousel of religious mini posters, and on the final turn of the wheel I saw it… and I knew I had to buy it.

I felt a bit guilty ringing it up at the register.  Here I was in a church (wrong #1) with a full Sunday Mass in Spanish going on in the background (wrong #2) and I was buying a religious object not out of faith but out of the comedy I knew I would bring me (wrongs #3 – #10).

I was busted at work scanning it in late one night, which was an interesting exchange.  “Working late?  What’re ya up to?”  “Oh, not really working, just scanning in this here picture of Jesus.”

What struck me about this image was just how incredibly forlorn this couple looked.  I mean they really look bummed out.  And I can only assume this is due to something JC has just said to them…..

“Yes, anal sex does count as pre-marital sex.  I’m sorry, but you’re both going to hell.”

“I know it’s small Bob, but I gave you so many other talents.  I mean how many other people do you know that can parallel park like that? Really, try to name someone.”

“Susan, Bob is gay.  He just doesn’t know it yet.  But hey, you guys got some awesome wedding gifts, huh?  That panini press thing?  Awesome, right?”

I am going to hell, this I know.

Commenting on The Dose

I’ve decided to enable commenting on The Dose. Will this stick? We shall see, but I figured I’d give it a try.

I’m still working out some of the kinks. For example I don’t know why the commenting area is so big; not sure it’s supposed to be that way. And I’m not convinced the “login via twitter” option is working correctly; it seems to need you to login in twice to recognize you.

Anywho, there it is. Let me know what you think. And I could use some help testing things out, if you’re so inclined.
