Here’s an interesting way to begin married life.
Something there seems a little bit amiss. But you know, things aren’t real until they’re on Facebook.
Did somebody say “free chocolate”
I received a reply today. From Cadbury.
Dear Mr Campbell,
Thank you
We have received your email and will be in touch via the post.
Kind regards

What’s the opposite of serendipity?
10 things Obama can learn from Woods. Well done Golf Digest.
This is about as funny as Dream Theater’s pulled September 11 album cover. A triumph of coincidentally bad timing.
On atheism, Fox News and Christmas
If I was an atheist and I had to watch this on my news program I’d be really annoyed… Particularly because O’Reilly is fixated on the idea that Christmas is about the baby Jesus – it’s not, it’s about the birth of the Lord Jesus. He grew up and did some stuff. That’s why we care.
It’s in response to this ad from the Humanist society…
The ad has a clever tagline. It’s a shame they can only trot it out once a year. But sadly, that’s not really what humanism is. That’s what secular humanism is. John Calvin has been described as both a Renaissance humanist and a “Christian humanist“.
The world’s saddest group blog
Online therapy sessions are pretty sad. First there was My Life is Average – it’s kind of group therapy.
Now… there’s “My Life is Twilight“… for the truly sad and lonely.
So im 25 yrs old I have been a twilight fan since 2 months before the 1st movie came out I read the boks and loved them, Ive allwayz loved the whole vampire thing so Twilight was just my thing, so in august I got the cullen crest on my right arm Ilove it and now I feel im a cullen…
Pac Can
How’s this for an in store display – Pacman and ghosts made entirely out of tinned fish.

Deconstructing Disney
When I passed horrible and scathing judgment on the Little Mermaid the other day people leapt to the poor thing’s defence.
But here’s another analysis of Disney princesses – and it’s not pretty. The fairytale existence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
And here’s an analysis of the men in the stories…
They deserve each other really.
The real food chain
Despite what you might have learned in school – we are not on top…
More on appropriate iPhone use
I meant to post this photo with the iPhone flowchart I posted this morning.
Clearly iPhones are designed to be used when you’re on holiday in Townsville…
They’re all playing LineUp.
On the Passive Aggressive Link comment
Sometimes my blogging friends post things that I’ve posted months before as though they’re original, or exciting.
This hurts my precious blog ego. Until I remember that I post so much stuff that sometimes I forget it, and I don’t read 90% of other people’s posts fully (except for you, dear reader).
To draw their attention to the fact that their post is old news I post a nice, agreeable comment. Including a link to my take on the post from months back.
It’ll read something like this…
“Oh yeah, I totally agree, especially in this post I wrote about the same thing four months ago”…
This is the ultimate passive aggressive blogging action. It uses one of Simone’s blog love languages (the comment) to gently rebuke the recalcitrant reader while simultaneously asserting one’s own superiority.
I will try to stop this. My last passive aggressive link comment was last week. I think I’m doing better already.
A Biblical world view
Here’s an infographic of the world if the Old Testament was read completely as a literal and scientific document with the spiritual realm housed in the physical.

The rules of Shotgun
Here are the official rules of Shotgun. In case you were wondering.
Though I think there should be an exception that comes into play when someone actually has a shotgun in hand. They should get the seat. This is not included in the rules.
Here is one rule I didn’t know about…
The Balk
This rule is applied when you have called Shotgun and are waiting for the doors to be unlocked. If you lift the handle while the doors are being unlocked and therefore cause the Shotgun door to remain locked, then you are “voided” for that ride. At this time Shotgun is available for all of the other passengers to call.
Totally gay flowchart
Here’s one man’s summary of the arguments for and against gay marriage in flow chart form.
The moral to this story is that when Christians are dealing with political issues we need to keep a healthy balance of “love” with our “truth” – and we need to stop saying stupid stuff.
It’s mostly an American thing – but it’s an interesting way to present both sides of an argument.

Venn Jesus
Mark Driscoll likes to criticise people’s “zen” Jesus – the hippy who runs around making pithy statements.
I wonder what he’d say about this Venn Jesus.
