No offense, James! This was just too funny - although such language is not unique to this one politician by any means.

From Fox News following Metro.co.uk.:

One unlucky British teen suffered a painful shark attack without ever going near the water. In fact, he was bitten in the face by one of the sharp-fanged animals in his own bedroom, Metro.co.uk reported.

The “attack” happened at 14-year-old Sam Hawthorne’s home in Dudley, England.

Hawthorne was sleepwalking when the teeth of a dead souvenir shark from a family vacation, that hangs on the wall of his nautical-themed bedroom, became embedded in his face.

The teeth left blood pouring from the teen’s face, his mother, Susan, told Metro.co.uk. “It was like something out of a horror film,” she said. “The shark must have been embedded in Sam’s cheek for about 15 minutes and he was in a lot of pain.”

In the end, Hawthorne came away with only a small scar. “It was the most frightening experience of my life,” he told Metro.co.uk.

Whaa…?

Ok, it’s been long enough for me to do another meme, and because I am a good sport, I will respond to both memes I was tagged with by one merciless (mercilessly funny, that is) blogger friend of mine, Kev at Special Kind of Stupid (you want a laugh? check him out!). Unfortunately, my answers will not be particularly funny. But come on, Kev, just be glad I’m doing these at all

Okay, how many of you guys have seen the site Garfield minus Garfield? The idea is to show the strip without Garfield, making Jon seem delusional, and almost outright psychotic. It’s a riot!

Here’s a sample:

…you enjoy eschatological wit. My brother-in-law (Josh) and I have had occasion to produce a couple of zingers lately. I would like to present them as a litmus test for determining whether you are a preterist geek.

1) One of the first questions asked by incredulous Christians coming into contact with preterism for the first time is inevitably, “So if all that’s fulfilled, what is there left to happen in the future?” Today, when facing that question, I countered (jovially), “Preterism is the only eschatology with a future: we’re the ones that don’t have to look forward to getting defeated and looking to Jesus for an escape plan. We live in victory.” I was right proud of my extemporaneous outburst, and particularly because of the positive reaction I got. It actually brought a smile to the people (futurists) I was talking to - I think they saw the hope of a fulfilled eschatology for the first time.

2) This one’s pretty funny. Josh and I were pestering Al the futurist about when he was going to have kids. He said, “Not yet! Give me one year. Fifty-two weeks.” Josh shot back, “Why don’t you just make it 70 weeks? With an indeterminable gap before the last week?”
