On a rainy day, at home with the kids because I can’t find my damn car and house keys anywhere:
- Since The Passion of the Christ can be abbreviated to POTC, can we call it The Passion of the Christ: Curse of the Black Pearl?
- My friend Rob suggests: The Last Action Savior.
- I also liked the guy who does reviews on Slate and “Fresh Air”: the Jesus Chainsaw Massacre.
- But my question is: will this be Mel’s Battlefield: Jesus?
- In case you can’t tell, I have no plans to see POTC. Darin stayed home yesterday (mental health day) and I told him to tell everyone at the office that he stayed home in order to be first in line at the movie.
- TBOGG is running a Bush/Cheney slogan contest.
- Best Bush/Cheney slogan I’ve heard so far (on the Well, I think): “Don’t change horsemen mid-Apocalypse!”
- In case you can’t tell, I have no plans to vote for Bush.
- I told my sister that things have changed so much that for the first time I’m thinking of donating money to a presidential candidate. “Which one?” she asked. “It doesn’t matter,” I said. I’m pretty sure she knew that I was not, in fact, open to donating to Bush/Cheney.
- I have yet to read one reasonable defense of keeping marriage heterosexual. Which is really kind of amazing, given that most people seem to be against it. You’d think someone would be able to state why they’re so desperately opposed. Well, at least, be able to state why that doesn’t rely on religious reasons. Or on a call to “tradition,” which is as…um…ignorant a path as you can go down and still have autonomic functions.
- I have, as of yet, no plans to marry gay.
Where the hell are my keys????
You have brought a big grin to my face here in the wee morning hours. 😀
I agree…major big grin. I might need t-shirts with that Bush-Cheney slogan. BTW, I donated money to my first presidential candidate this year and man, it was best money I’ve spent in a LONG time!
One year, couldn’t find my keys (in an apartment where we needed the keys to even OPEN and get out of the locked door! On the second floor! And not just the 2nd floor, but the 2nd floor of an old victorian with 11 foot ceilings! With a toddler at home!) My husband came home and let me out, then, while I went to work he searched.
He called 3 hours later. My keys were zipped up inside a cushion of the couch. (*See toddler, above.)
Now the toddler is grown and lives with friends in the second floor of an old victorian. Last time I dropped him off, he went around to the side of the front porch and jumped up, grabbing the stone trim to the second floor balcony. Like a monkey, he pulled himself up and over, into the 2nd floor. The kid’s got a thing about not using keys.
So, anyway, go look in your couch cushions.
Good luck finding them. I’d recommend redundant systems: When found, may I suggest that you take a trip to the locksmith?
– Get a extra copy made of both cars, and house keys
I’d suggest:
– each spouse should have keys to each others car, as well as their own.
– an emergency set should be stashed somewhere in the house.
– you may want to consider stashing a house key outside in a secure, secluded area.
Places NOT to use:
window-sill
ornamental rock
any area visible from the street or neighbors
the doormat!
I’ve been debating getting a como lock for one of our doors, as my teen-age son keeps losing keys..
If only Johnny Depp could have played Christ with the same humor as he did in Pirates…
Maybe then society would at least have TWO funny Jesus movies (one of them being Life of Brian).

We bought one of these when our sons were in middle school:

It can be bolted to the inside of a door frame (between door and screen), then it needs a 5-number code punched-in order to unlock. Out kids can get in without having to carry keys, or I can give the number to a neighbor over the phone if we can’t get home in time to go let the dog out.
Actually, we used to have one of those keycode locks (back on our first house). It’s sure convenient, but when the keys in question are also my car keys…
Turned out Sophia (as she is wont to do) had wrapped me a present — and used one of the cloths I keep in the kitchen for wiping messy little hands and faces as the wrapping paper! Which is why I did not suspect it had my keys in it.
