4. I take only what I found in scripture:
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the clowns and the tyranny of clownish men.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the clowns.

For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost cotton candy and large shoes.

And I will strike down upon clowns with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to juggle and twist balloons into unholy shapes.

And you will know I am the Dingbat when I lay my vengeance upon clowns.

6. The First Reformed Church of Volume.
Things will be worshipped depending upon how much they displace. And we will be against clowns.

Example: A hippo would be more holy than a can of Pepsi.

Another: A combat boot would be more holy than a piece of paper, UNLESS the paper had something written on it that was against clowns. Then the paper would be more holy.

If the boot bore anti-clown markings, it would be decided by a cage match between Ed Asner and Jennifer Aniston.

...Actually, I mean it would be decided during a cage match between Ed Asner and Jennifer Aniston.

34. BOW BEFORE ME, o displacers of lesser volumes!
For blessed is he who worships at the All You Can Eat temple with devout sincerity and diligent dedication to Dingbaptist Voluminous ritual! All hail St. Rodízio, patron saint of Brazil!

10. Tricky Robb
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 03:30 PM by LeviathanCrumbling
Since the right answer is always Robb is a dingbat you have backed me into a corner. As long as you are going to forcefully convert me can I be a high priest or something (maybe in charge of your inquisition against thoes against Clowns.)

17. Yaks, obviously, more holy than thongs.
This is the Church of Volume, you understand.

But scotch would be fine, as long as you make sure your bottle of scotch is larger than something else. And therefore more holy.

Further clarification: Bottle of scotch, more holy than a drinking straw.

A drinking straw, more holy than Lara Flynn Boyle. :evilgrin:

30. I quote from the Fifth (heh) Book...
...of Hogshead:

Alas for those who lie on beds of squeaky noses, and climb in their tiny cars, and eat ice coated with blue liquid, and sausage dipped in batter on a stick;

Who sing idle songs to the sound of the banjo, and like Carrot Top improvise on instruments of found objects; who drink non-alcoholic beer from bowls, and anoint themselves with the finest greasepaint, but are not grieved over the ruin of wine left overnight uncorked!

Therefore they shall now be the first to go into exile, and the revelry of the Loungers shall hide their screams.

29. Only if I can become a Robbite Televangelist.
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 08:47 PM by Parrcrow
I will solicit donations until I am sitting on a mountain of cash.
I will encourage political activism on behalf of whatever the hell I like.
I will denounce any and all behavior of my enemies.
I will adopt a ridiculous hairstyle.
I will fund at least one university.
I will smite thine enemies (or anybody else who pisses me off)with my holy hypocicy.
Finally
I will diversify my portfolio and go on the lam.


all in your name.

33. A question about the mighty Robb
*In humble deference*

Could Robb create a poll so outlandish, that not even Robb could vote on it?

76 wasn't convincing.. but once you got over that 76 1/2 mark, I was sold...

And about the volume thing.. I'm torn

Beer = Good, so More Beer = Better

:beer:

However that also means...

5% income tax = good, so 99% income tax = Better ???

Not that I would ever question a deity... ;)

40. First Reformed Church of Volume on Same-Sex Marriage:
All marriages are holy, provided one partner displaces more volume than the other partner.

The partner who displaces more volume shall have dominion over the marriage. Unless this partner is a clown.
