george lucas gazed upon this creature, wondering how he could turn this wonderful scene of nature into an artificial, computer-generated pseudouniverse.

In his ongoing effort to one up those bragging beavers, Roderick continues his work on the worlds largest Ram Dam.

Youth Pastor-”See kids, without God in our lives, we feel like a sheep that is standing on a rock between two cliffs that are located high above a body of water of some sorts.”

Youth-”WHAT?”

Thus is the precarious plight of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays bandwagon.

Yes, this is much better than riding the fence…

Jeff Moulton May 16, 2008 at 10:15 am

Of course, it would take a major undertaking for the Devil Rays to make the playoffs, since the “Devil Rays” no longer are a team. The Rays however, still have as good a chance as just about any other team in the East. Better than the Yankees.

When I interviewed to be Ewe-th pastor, they didn’t tell me I’d have to build the youth ministry from the ground up…

After so many of his goat friends were caught “trip-tropping” over the troll’s bridge the sheep thought this was the safer route.

Adam May 16, 2008 at 11:04 am

Yeah, let’s see him leave the other 99 and get me now!

Some follow, others lead. Just do it!

This will only make sense to Monty Python fanatics:

Here’s Harold. He’s that most dangerous of creatures, a clever sheep. He’s realized that a sheep’s life consists of standin’ around for a few months and then bein’ eaten. And that’s a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep.

Brian Aaby May 16, 2008 at 12:47 pm

I already walked through the valley of the shadow of death, what the heck is this?

Some good shepherd you turned out to be… now give up your life already and save me!

Matt McKee May 16, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Lord-you know that statement about leaving the 99 behind…can I cash in on that now and get a little help here?
