I LOVED So I Married An Axe Murderer in high school! Mike Myers is a genius.
I'm a little disappointed, however, with the You Tube clip selection for this film. I couldn't even find the "Harriet. Har -ri- et, Hard hearted harbinger of haggis" poem! That's the heart of the movie! Sadly, no one has posted it, so you're all stuck with Head! Move it! Now!

I LOVE that movie! Here's another favorite moment: "happy happy happy happy" "SHUTUP!"
That movie is AMAZING! I love it, and cracks me up!!! I haven't seen that in a long time, I should add it to Netflix. How fun!
Ginger this is Cliffs favorite movie. I will make sure he see's this blog it will make his day.

I CANNOT believe that I don't own this movie!! Sheesh! What's wrong with me?
Later,
Cliff
What about "We have a piper doown! We have a piper doown!"
And, and
"If you want my body, & you think I'm sexy...."
The wedding scene is awesome.
"Let's get pissed!"
Don't you mean WE loved this movie in high school? Come on, don't leave me out, baby!
"So love... ED."
"Um, HELLO, I thought I ordered the LARGE cappucino..."
Hey, I knew we were all cosmically connected somehow, I just didn’t know it was through Mike Myers. Is this like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, the Twilight Zone version?
Whatever it is, I like it!
“I’m naked, aren’t I?”
Hey Cliff,
I never knew you were a SIMaAM fan! I should've known, but you and I were friends during my Guffman period.
Hey, I was just reminded of a certain song you used to sing for me at the Wesley House. Almost as funny as SIMaAM. Do you remember what it was? I'll give you a hint. When you sang it, it was "spicy"!
Lis,
Yes, of course I meant "we"! Actually, I wonder if, during my high school years, I ever watched this movie without you and/or you and Jen! If I did, it probably wasn't as funny..
Jen, I still have the sound track on cassette. Is it yours? I can't remember actually buying it.
Well everyone can just come over to my house for a SIMAAM party as I have it on dvd :)
Hey you shouldn't joke about this stuff. I actually DID marry an axe murderer, of sorts..!
Oh so that's were it went!! Yeah that probably was mine! Just think of it as a little gift!!
Also since I can't leave a comment on your mug post I thought I would leave it here!
I too have my favorite mugs! I have 3 that are all about the same size which is a little bigger than your run of the mill mug. Probably like your snowman mug. Anyways I tend to interchange them on a regular basis!
Oh and you didn't learn to drink coffee from me? I am sure you must have had a cup with me in the mornings when you would spend the night when we were like 8!
Yeah everyone use to tell me coffee would stunt my growth but the jokes on them seeing that I am six feet tall!!!!
ok I just read my first comment and notice a grammatical error! I meant to say, Oh that's WHERE (not were) it went! I had to let the world know I do know the difference between the two!
Sorry Mark,
Perhaps there isn't room in your life for joking about being married to an axe murderer (of sorts). And shouldn't it be a concealed firearm muderer (of sorts)since she is a closet Texan?
But what about being married to Mike Myers? Surely we can all agree on that..
Sorry Jen. I didn't mean to be a SIMaAM cassette thief. If you'll come and visit, I'll give it back.. if I can find it.
And P-ta - We're on our way.
She's not a closet Texan, she IS a Texan. But really the axe was more of a zen thing, although unfortunately she was a complete amateur and didn't chop it off completely (the very worst kind of axe wielding murderer is this kind: one who leaves the job unfinished, hence my head is still partially attached, and I continue to experience ongoing suffering at the hands of the world)
I am, in short, still here. Though being at the margins most of the time, only just.
Anyway, while I'm on the subject, (of margins not decapitations) am interested to know what y'all think of this, especially Chelle, Deidra and the other big Jesus fans out there..
Face to Faith
All and any comments much appreciated!
Mark,
I think that most Christians would agree with this article whole heartedly and would even recognize the division between "liberal" evangelicals and the conservative ones.
Unfortunately, different is wrong in most of the churches I've attended and the only ones who reach out to others tend to be the churches made up of liberal, marginalized Christians. We've all heard the saying "love the sinner, hate the sin," but I was always hard pressed to find anyone who actually believed that statement beyond what are considered the "milder" sins.
Having said that,I also want to recognize that wanting to be on the "right" or "winning" side is human nature. (I have a whole theory about teams and self-righteous actions in the name of good, but that's for a different conversation.)
I think that sometimes evangelicals don't recognize the "margins", but not because they aren't well meaning. No, they would NOT embrace the secular, but they would acknowledge that Jesus would have and that they probably ought to, especially in trying to be more Christlike.
The result of this "ought to" ends up being the "mission trip" which is usually sincere and productive labor for folks who are "less fortunate," but the bad part is that these trips only last one or two weeks, and then it is easy to settle back into routines that involve Sunday and Wednesday church.
I HIGHLY respect the "marginalized" Christians; the ones who live their lives in the secular space because it takes selfless dedication to stay there and still have faith that moves mountains. I also think that this sort of dedication and genuine care for people, whether more or less "fortunate" (which isn't the right word, because that implies monetary security which is not what I mean here)was the original goal or practice of the community/church/sangha.
Unfortunately, because church is business (and really, it always has been), I can't in good conscience stand and represent one, and therefore for having any faith at all, I guess I would be labeled liberal. But I am not smart/bold enough to be able to balance the secular and the evangelical. In an effort to avoid being the hypocrite, I stand impotent in the shadows.
Have you seen a movie called Jesus Camp? It illustrates what worries me about evangelicals, especially when talking politics. Six Flags Over Jesus is an interesting study, but one that literally makes me sick to my stomach because the whole movement marginalizes people in the name of Jesus. There seems to be an urgency to turn or burn, especially in the face of what some consider the fighting between angels and demons or this "holy" war between Christians and Muslims.
I think that like Jesus with the woman at the well, we need to acknowledge the importance of people, regardless of societal "definition", and that our one true calling is to love each other without conditions (like Jesus loved people). He never told anyone that they were abominations, but he used gentle teaching (the parables) to show the truth and the light.
He showed that in loving people unconditionally, you create communitas - you help each other, feed each other, and recognize/uplift your brother man.
This, in my opinion, is the most valuable call to action no matter what label you're given. And unless one is speaking through love to another, he will not be heard. Condemnation leaves no room for salvation or hope, and there has to be salvation AND hope. Otherwise, what's the point?
(stepping off of the huge soap box, preparing for duck and cover)
And I think I've shared my own marginalized status with you before, as seen here:
City and Shadow
I am the unsalty salt,
Trampled on by man,
Contaminated, infiltrated -
Shadowed in the city of blinding light.
Radiant in the grime,
Feigning bread and wine,
I stand-up for moral decay -
Enlightened in the city and the shadow.
Watch the people watching,
Weighing each other’s worth,
Hypnotized in the glare of stained glass -
Dispelling gritty shadows from their blinded city.
