Ballad of the Lazy Blogger

I used to be a blogger
but it’s grinding to a halt
There’s lots of things to blame for it
It’s really not my fault.
Replying to Obama posts
has brought me to exhaustion
I can’t get round to writing blogs
with all the time it’s costing.
I used to write insightful stuff
on life and on religion
but now I seem to spend more [...]

5 Cool Things…

…about the last 24 hours.
1) Half a dozen of my students stayed behind after class this morning to ask questions about some DEEEEEP theology. They are 10 – 11 years old. I did not prompt them.
2) I have just been teaching my class how to play ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol on the guitar. They [...]

Movie Hell

It occurred to me last night that if it turned out that my faith was misguided and I actually turned up in hell when I died, the first thing they would do would be take me to a little room and force me to watch Steve Martin movies on a constant loop.

More Obama Antichrist Ranting: This is Getting RIDICULOUS.

People, people…. I am getting seriously worried about some of you. Since my tongue-in-cheek “Is Barack Obama the Antichrist” post and my brazenly facetious numerology post, traffic to Mackle has been getting busier, up until a crazy explosion with the beginning of the primaries when my visits increased thirty-fold. As a Scot, I entered this [...]

Baptism – Infants or Believers?

I’ve been thinking about baptism for the last little while. There’s no doubt that baptism is an important part of Christian life; that much cannot be debated. Unfortunately, just about every other thing about it IS. I grew up in a church where infants are baptised and never really questioned it. It was just what [...]

Cadbury’s Gorilla Advert

This came on TV last night and my wife and I laughed for most of the rest of the night. It’s absolutely classic. Seriously. Probably the funniest ad I’ve seen in years.

Glorious.

Jake vs The Rubber Chicken

The aforementioned rubber chicken has been quite a hit. Observe…

I Love My Local Grocery Store

I just nipped out to the little grocery store down the road from my school at lunch time. I work in a very rural area and there are only two stores within about 10 miles.
I walked out of the place carrying the following:

a jar of hot dogs

2 solid brass doorhandles

a rubber chicken.

Shopping does not get cooler than that. Hooray for Cross Stores!!
