Is gnocchi an abomination to the FSM?

I am thinking about trying my hand at making my own potato gnocchi this weekend. I'm concerned that since it is potato based, it may be an abomination to the FSM. Anybody able to help me out? I just want to know if I face possible excommunication for touching that which is unclean.

1. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Act like a sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou ass when describing my Noodly Goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain. Besides, this isn’t about them so don’t change the subject.

2. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Use my existence as a means to Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, and/or, you know, be Mean To Others. I don’t require sacrifices and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Judge People for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk. Just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this in your thick heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. One is not better than the other, unless we’re talking about fashion and I’m sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.

4. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Indulge in Conduct That Offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is Go F*** Yourself, unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.

5. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Challenge the bigoted, misogynist, hateful ideas of others On An Empty Stomach. Eat, then go after the B*******’s ideas.

6. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Build multimillion-dollar Churches/Temples/Mosques/Shrines to my Noodly Goodness when the money could be better spent on (take your pick):
a. Ending Poverty
b. Curing Diseases
c. Living In Peace, Loving With Passion, And Lowering The Cost Of Cable

I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.

7. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Go around telling people I Talk To You. You’re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?

8. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t: Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You, if you are into, um, Stuff That Uses A Lot of Leather/Lubricant/Las Vegas. If the other person is into it, however (Pursuant To #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the Love of Me, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it’s a piece of rubber. If I didn’t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

Everything is OK to eat, with one exception. The dry sandy "parmesan cheese" that comes in a can is blasphemy.

As for everything else, go for it. If it's remotely noodly or pasta-like in any way, claim it's pasta and that's good enough for a Holy Friday meal, washed down with your favorite grog.

However I am dubious of the authority of this pronouncement.

Accepted our batcat so I believe they aren't on the higher moral ground to make such dubious claims. Just my opinion and I do give out the rubber chickens and run the minutes of the meeting in my free time. Just sayin.....

But tomorrow, I might want rice. I refuse to have anyone tell me that I cannot eat bacon. Or potatoes. Or cloven hooves if I want. It is just so wrong.

Glad to hear that I don't have to sweat it. Whew!
