The Walk-in Freezer at Reilly's Pub

Ah....I see....

If you are going to kip in the freezer you need some necessities.


You have such a compassionate heart, my friend. Bless you for it.

Somebody give me a link to this diatribe by Charles Spurgeon. I'm insatiably curious now.

 

[ZooMom]

I tried the link I found to his 'Morning and Evening' devotionals and I get an error msg, like the site is gone or something.

Poly: The restroom is in the main pub. This is the walk-in freezer. There is no restroom here, which is good, because you know how they were always telling you not to lick metal objects in winter? It'd be worse.

Done, in a PM. Not posted here because it's really a pretty hateful message. (A shame, because a lot of Spurgeon's writing is quite good. I guess we all have our blind spots.)

Oh my...I can't decide if this is totally funny or something I should be yelling TMI TMI to you about seebs!!

Thanks for the link, seebs. Quite lovely, all of that sewage about "popery" and "black doings of Rome" and "priestcraft" and "priests, like owls, hate daylight". If I hadn't known beforehand, I'd almost swear it had been written by Lorraine Boettner himself.

I'll be sure to reserve any books I acquire that have been authored by Mssr. Spurgeon for fireplace fodder.

I dunno; he has a lot of true beliefs, too. You just need to have the bogon filter up. I run into this a lot; many people have weird or delusional or just plain false beliefs about one or two issues, but are fine on everything else.

Still... that was an *AMAZING* piece of writing. I found myself giggling at it, because there comes a point where it's either laugh or cry, and my preference is "laugh".

 

[Wolseley]

Yeah, it was amazing, all right. Rather like a member of the Ku Klux Klan going on about blacks, or a Nazi about Jews.

I didn't laugh or cry. My reaction was to grimace while I repeated a few words I learned in a barracks many years ago.

/me sighs

See what happens when I leave for a few to put baby to bed? I come back and find my date in the freezer because he forgot to ask me where the restroom was before I left...

 

[Caedmon]

Well now, Mr. Spurgeon made a few controversial statements, but he did a lot of good work too.

 

[Wolseley]

So did Hitler. He revitalized the German economy, put people back to work, gave them pride in their country, and made them one of the most powerful nations on the face of the earth, with an empire running from the Caucasus to the Atlantic and Norway to Libya.

Oh, there was that other stuff he did too...but look at the good stuff he did!

I told ya salvation isn't by works.

With all due respect... Spurgeon was not genocidal. There is very little comparison between Spurgeon and Hitler.

OK fellas....let's move this conversation outside to another thread. This is the "cooler" where things are supposed to be cold.

This is the place we cool our jets rather than keeping the engine running.

Thanks!

/me walks into the freezer to let off some steam -

/me looks around and sees icecream

I better go to the bar and order some - I think that it will help me chill out

/me leaves the freezer and heads to the bar

 

[VOW]

Hey Poly:

If you're REALLY stressed, we can put a scoop of ice cream in your beer.

I don't recommend it though, unless you are super POed.

(that's why I go into the freezer and gnaw on frozen hash browns)


Peace,
~VOW

Hey Vow...pass me some of those hash browns.
