Umm… thanks? ;-)

I just find it funny, since just a few years ago, I was on my way to becoming a dyed-in-the-wool (Reformed) Southern Baptist.  Also funny, because the guy who said this is arguably more Presbyterian than I am.

Nerd 1: There are some theologians whose names you can’t even mention in some circles as being worth listening to without having eyebrows raised at you. Mention their names as cuss words, maybe . . .

Nerd 2: Yeah . . . I think you’re Wright about that.

Nerd 3: I dunno, I think you’re N. T. Wrong.

Nerd 1: Well . . . how about we look at this text to try to get some New Perspective on things.

Nerds 1-3: *snickering*

Everyone else: *uncomfortably looking around*

I may have to employ these when and if I tag along with Greg to presbytery meetings.

10. Fall Asleep, this option only works if you don’t snore!

9. Play “I spy with my little eye” game.

8. Drink a lot of coffee or any beverage and time how long you can hold your pee before having to run out scream!

7. Practice your paper airplane making with the annual report

6. Watch an episode of “Lost” on your ipod. Just try not to gasp too loud.

5. Find a wireless hotspot to upload your latest blog.

4. Count the number of “other” people asleep

3. Sit across the room from your friend and make funny faces at each other.

2. Randomly scream out your favorite lines from the “The Princess’ Bride” and see who finishes the line for you.

1. Coffee Break! Starbucks!

I don’t watch Lost, but I’ll have my video iPod at that point, so I might give it a try. Also, there’s no such thing as a “coffee break” for me . . . coffee is something I would need to take a break from, not to.
