OT: 80th Obsequious Banter Thread: Do You Believe In Miracles?

Well since you fascists nuked the Rona threads, I'll just have to slide this in here...

A guy said that to my sister and she got pregnant. I just checked to see if McLovin is still alive and he is.

I went to the range today for the first time in what seemed like forever. Felt good to be in the sunshine.

I had routine blood tests a couple weeks ago and my doctor told me that my Vitamin D is low. Made me think that I hardly get any sun these days. Unfortunately it's still pretty much a world of snow and ice up here so not much to do about it other than take supplements.

At least you aren't in Alaska or Antarctica. I would die with months of no sunlight. Counting the days till more daylight.....

The J&J adenovirus vaccine is honestly more appealing to me....or at least for my mom who has oedema and there are some indications the mRNA vaccines might cause some issues down the line from the medical literature I have read for people with that condition and some others...

The J&J isn’t a mRNA?

No...it's the more traditional adenovirus vaccine...

Apologies in advance to @BernieParent but I was doing some theological pondering.

So when people talk about fighting various deities, the usual superpowers talked about when fighting Jesus are stuff like "He's a carpenter so he's strong, he can raise the dead so zombie army, even if you kill him he'll just come back for you over and over like the Terminator." I think this is missing the point entirely. These are inelegant solutions for Jesus. If for some insane reason I found myself in a fight with Jesus, my biggest fear is that he would turn all the water in my body into wine. That's game over. There's no beating that.

Oh come on, your alcoholic ass would be fine. You would be mildly buzzed, at worst.

I'm not in high school, I'm in the clear.

That may be true but the hangover is going to kill me or make me mercy-kill myself

Thanks for summoning me, @Beef Invictus. I had to laugh at your interesting weaponization of Jesus' winemaking skills. And you are talking about the human embodiment of Jesus; the divine one (as described in Revelation) has a sword that comes out of His mouth that slices and dices the hordes of the other side. Definitely don't want to mess with Him.

Was this a random thought or part of an ongoing subthread?

It was a random thought. I haven't slept enough lately.

Wow. You weren’t kidding.

I could have sworn you saw the gif in the mega draft thread.

I love this gif.

I don't think I've been in that thread today?

Probably not. But this was posted in there, and you had your random thought. Seemed like they would have been related, but apparently they were not.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Wow, I was in that thread. I even answered a post. I need to sleep.

Must have seen the gif and then it entered my mind that way

Sleep is for the weak. You have a bad hockey game to watch.
