• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

lol a young friend of mine used to misinterpret a line in Avril Lavigne's Complicated.

The proper line is "Why'd ya have to go and make things so complicated."

She thought it said "Why'd ya have to go and make me so constipated"

I was going to rep you, Miles, for creating this thread... but I can't? Since when!!!?
I have no idea. It seems to be working on this side. Test rep sent.

And... now that I'm thinking about it, I can't list any of the songs I'm thinking of because they're inappropriate for the vast majority. :sorry:

Agreed. Some probably shouldn't be mentioned here. Especially if they're solemn hymns. For instance, I used to have a hard time keeping a straight face when our church would sing "Lead On, O Kinky Turtle."

I don't know what's happened, but I still can't rep you for your beginning posts. I noticed this when I tried repping someone in a relatively-older thread (even though it was, like, early July) and couldn't do it.

I just can't DOO EEEET.

LOL, you're goofy. :D



I did think of one that is appropriate:


Jody Watley, Looking For a New Love

WD version: I still have Easter, baby

My mother raised me and my sister singing the line from Oliver Twist, "Hot chocolate and custard" as "Hot chocolate and mustard."

We never actually heard the song, so we had to just take her word for it. But even as children we would argue that hot chocolate and mustard made no sense. She would insist that was how the song wen. When we finally did hear the song, and realized it was "custard" and not "mustard" we really, really, let her have it.

Wrapped up like a deuce. :p I.e., a cigarette. Uptight, in other words.

I still stand by my post. :D

When I was a kid, I always wondered what a hymn that predated rocket science could mean by the phrase, "On Christ the solid rocket stand, all other ground is sinking sand..."

I'm now going to hear that every time.

On the subject of hymns, in Shine Jesus Shine, I heard "Send Forth Worth" instead of "Send fourth your word"

In Victory in Jesus there's a line that goes "He loved me ere I knew him" I always heard "Javier, I knew him"
