Westboro Baptist is comin' to town
January 5, 2015 at 11:57 pm
So, I just found out Westboro Baptist Church is coming to town to protest at the Blazers-Magic game this Saturday.

Quote:According to a press release faxed to the [Portland newspaper Willamette Week] office, the Topeka-based ministry — known for picketing everything from the Holocaust Museum to the funeral of Ronnie James Dio — is planning to protest outside Moda Center this Saturday, Jan. 10. [...]

"The Portland Trail Blazers punched the Lord Jesus Christ in the face," reads the press release, which goes on to quote passages from the New Testament. "There was absolutely no reason for the Portland Trail Blazers to throw in their lot with the fags except to gratuitously kiss fag ass. The Portland Trail Blazers should REPENT and apologize to God."

Looks like Kitty and I have some point-and-laugh plans for this Saturday.

Hmmm.

A professional sports team full of manly, burly, husky men, foreordained to kiss some fag ass.

It would take more than that to get me to like basketball but, that would be a good start.

Oh, hell yes... Pop some popcorn, warm up the pointy fingers and practice our belly laughs...

Problem is, we are short on counter-protest ideas. Air horns? I got nothin' else at this point.

Picket signs with some juicy bible quotes?
I'm sure there have to be some good ones read out of context.
Sorry I can't pick any, but I'm not well enough read.
God talking to Ballum out of his ass?
Tied his ass to a tree and walked 20 miles?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

Taking deadly serpents along is probably a no go, but how about some strychnine ?
