The Thinklings

"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing. "What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk. "Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City." "Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?" "I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""

Moot: Go Big or Go Home

Posted by Jared @ 4:43 pm CST
Filed under: Moot!

Moot rocks. I love my Thinkling brothers and feel amazingly blessed to have had them as real life friends for going on 16 years.

I hear a video is coming, but here are some things we talked about between the hours of 6 p.m. last night and 6 a.m. this morning:

Zombies
Video preaching and video music in church
Grownups who don't act like grownups
U2 and The Beatles
The election, Sarah Palin most specifically and most hilariously
The possibility of the draft
Calvinism vs. Arminianism (which we haven't discussed in maybe 4 years)
More generally, God's sovereignty and human responsibility
IHOP vs. Denny's
Teaching/preaching preparation methods (a few of us are teachers)
Family
Gangster movies
The problem of Canaanite slaughter by the Israelites
Various views of the Lord's Supper
Cigars
Chess
Did I mention zombies?

Viva la Moot.

You forgot to mention that we talked about Bloo being hacked and Blo being hacked.

Moot forever.

2. Bill - 12/27/2008 4:53 pm CST

Blo is hacked. Bloo is totally secure

Did anyone try the elevated leg rest thing?

4. Bill - 12/27/2008 5:12 pm CST

I need to try that. I'm asleep on my feet right now.

5. Jared - 12/27/2008 5:51 pm CST

I did!

Woke up 45 minutes later and still needed sleep. Crawled into the bed and slept another 3 hours.

6. Milly - 12/27/2008 5:58 pm CST

you did speak of me right?

7. Bill - 12/27/2008 6:16 pm CST

Actually, yes, we did.

8. Raindream - 12/27/2008 10:03 pm CST

Whoa, whoa, whoa! An IHOP vs. Denny's smackdown? What was the fallout from that?

9. Bird - 12/27/2008 10:26 pm CST

Woke up 45 minutes later and still needed sleep. Crawled into the bed and slept another 3 hours.

So that would mean you slept a total of, oh, ten hours in LeHaye time. Not a bad deal for 3 hours and 45 minutes.

10. Jared - 12/27/2008 10:35 pm CST

I don't buy it. If that was equivalent to 8-10 hours, how come 8 hours after I woke up my eyes feel like bowling balls?

11. Bill - 12/28/2008 8:00 am CST

Whoa, whoa, whoa! An IHOP vs. Denny's smackdown? What was the fallout from that?

It meant that we got to listen to Blo grouse for 45 minutes.

12. Milly - 12/29/2008 4:45 am CST

Was it all good?

What you said about me?

IHOP= cleaner
Denny's=grease

So it just depends on who’s watching their cholesterol.

13. Bill - 12/29/2008 6:46 am CST

You made the shout-out list to our favorite commenters. That will possibly be in the upcoming Mootumentary, if I can get the production crew revving on the raw footage.

Golly you guys make a girl blush.
