And, prehaps, a cat...Follow

#1 Nov 21 2006 at 6:07 AM Rating: Decent
The only important news story this week was obviously the Cruise/Holmes wedding. I'm sure most of you have read or heard about the vows made by the bride and groom to each other.

For those that haven't, the groom is told:

Quote:
Now, Tom Cruise, girls need clothes and food and tender happiness and frills; a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat. All caprice, if you will, but still they need them. Do you then provide? Do you?


Well, do you?! DO YOU, *****?!



I love scientology. I absolutely adore it.

Maybe because it is the ultimate proof that mankind is inherently gullible and stupid. Maybe because it makes me feel better about myself, that despite all my faults, at least I don't believe in an alien dictator freezing nasty aliens and dumping them into a volcanoe and then catching their souls and then their souls inhabit us and we now have to pay loads of money to get them out, nasty alien leeches. Maybe because of the fact that all this was written by a sci-fi writer a few decades ago, and somehow it turned into a worldwide religion.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

But if there ever was an award for "proof that people are stupider than you could ever imagine", it would have my vote.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather not be told at my wedding what "girls" need. I think I'd rather look at my bride as a woman.

But we do have a cat. Speaking of, I keep reading that as "Tender Vittles and thrills..."

I'm more of Fastafarian my self.

All hail the great non-edible entity in the sky !


Rastafrianism is pretty stupid too, I think. But at least they have the excuse that they were stoned, and living alone in hills. Strange things happen when you do that. And being a Rasta, Pasta, or Fasta, is mostly free.

Scientology is freaking expensive. It's not just a free sham, like other religions, it's an expensive sham scam.

Well the girl/women is told that "young men are free and may forget their promises."

So, girls get a pan, and maybe a cat if they're lucky, while guys can do whatever they want cos "they may forget". Not that "they might forget", "they may forget".

Sweet.

Mr. Cruise was born in '62, according to IMDB. He hasn't been a "young man" in quite some time.

Perhaps these vows were come up when Hubbard was sitting around an Asian buffet; put the cat in the pan and we have Kitty Lo Mien! Or maybe the pan isn't a frying pan, rather a heroin cook-pan. Now that would explain a WHOLE lot about these crackpots!

Sometimes when I see a thread with a typo in the title, I don't read any of the posts just out of principle.

When I was getting married, my mom told me that my husband should love me more thanI love him. I still don't get that advice. Smiley: confused

It means he should wait on you hand and foot, like the queen bee that you are.

I remember hearing or reading that before as well. I think the idea is that a woman will fall more in love with her husband as time goes on, whereas a man's devotion will lessen. So you meet in the middle, hopefully before his midlife crisis.

My bellydance instructor said that she was considering becoming Jewish, because she liked Catholicism but she didn't believe "all that Jesus crap". It amused me even more when she told us she had been raised a Scientologist. Smiley: laugh

When someone else in class pointed this out, she got upset and said Scientology wasn't a religion, but more like a philosophy. She compared it more to Buhddism. Then she made fun of Mormons.

Smiley: lol His midlife crisis hit full-swing. However, at this point, with the way things have been, I can tell you that he definitely loves me more than I love him.

I seem to remember Jack, saying something about how Ron created a religion as a bet. Jack was good for stories about other SF authors, like that.

Darn, I miss Jack Chalker. He would talk for hours on just about any subject. I still expect him to walk in the cubhouse every month.

You should have kicked his *** and got him to finish a series or three.

You never want to kick a man, who is quick with a cane. I'm sure he kept it as sharp as his words.

When I meet him, his health was already deteriorating, though I think Eva, was still trying to get his last book publish recently.
