First United Church of Tanooki

Andrea asked if Luigi would be a false prophet since Mario is God, and originally I said "yes", but in retrospect, my opinion on the matter has changed.


You mean you thought I was-a one of the bad guys?!

Sorry Luigi...

Actually, Luigi is one of the archangels, as are Princess Peach and Princess Daisy.

The Toadstools are the disciples. nods

Sound better?

As for the false prophet..?

That would be Wario and Waluigi.

So yeah, there are two false prophets.

Bowser would have to be the devil, and all of his little minions are his demons.

Make sense now?

OK, so I wanted to start out by saying that this blog is for parody only. If you want to take offense, that's fine, but it's your loss. And I know plenty of religious people that find this page entertaining, so...

With that, I'll go ahead and give a little background information.

I came up with this idea one night after a yet another frustrating incident with a religious fundamentalist. I don't really harbor anything towards those that are religious, but I do like to be left alone regarding my beliefs. And really, I don't think Tanookism sounds any more "ridiculous" than some of the accepted mainstream religions (beautiful as they can be). ^_^

But why Mario?

I have a friend from when I was younger that was seriously into The Mario Bros., and wanted to create this page partially as a dedication to him. He committed suicide when he was fifteen, and had his SMB action figures in his casket with him. I like to think that he's up in Heaven smiling about this.

Some of the posts on here will be parody, and some will be serious. I figure if I'm doing something that could potentially attract attention, I may as well put some good things out there.

I would like people to add what they think The Commandments should be--Funny and serious. I would like the list to get ridiculously long...

"Thou shalt eat the magic flower and spit fireballs."

"Thy fireballs shalt defy physics and work perfectly fine under water."

"Yea, though sometimes the doors will take you back to where you started, thou shalt be persistent and find thy way, lest thine timer hits zero."

"Thou shalt not be a douche-bag/baguette."

"Thou shalt not be a spammer."

"Thou shalt not participate in flame wars unless thou art defending the innocent in a respectful manner."

*****Some from my friend Angie...With some additions by myself.

"Thou shalt speak only in computer jargon."

"Thou shalt grow a raccoon tail."

"Thou shalt wear SMB underwear on Thursdays, which is the day of the Sabbath."

"Thou shalt get a tattoo of a gold coin on thy foot."

*****Andrea

Though shalt always eat thy mushrooms.

*****Bri

Thou shalt love sex.

Thou shalt pray only when thou feels like it.

Thou shalt perform self-love as often as needed.

I was talking with a friend the other night and she mentioned that she was watching the news. I mentioned how I try not to watch it as it does nothing but depress me normally, and she agreed that it does the same for her. There are a few web sites that have good news, but not really much for the TV media, and my friend joked that I should do a positive news show.

Eh, why not?

So look for the FUCoT positive news videoblog, coming soon to YouTube.

^_^

Right Speech

So it feels like every day I’m sticking my foot in my mouth for one reason or another, and I’ve had a lot of other people tell me that they have the same problem. Today was particularly bad though because I REALLY pissed another person off and got reamed, and all because I forgot two things:

1. I should make sure I am talking to the right audience when being facetious.
2. If I make a joke that could be taken badly, it’s probably a good idea to NOT say it at all.

I have several things that work against me to cause this…My upbringing (My social skills are just not up to par.), my hearing impairment (I don’t always hear when someone is talking and end up interrupting.), and ADHLAS (Attention Deficit--Hey Look! A Squirrel! This leads to more interrupting and lackage of a censorship device.). So I have a lot working against me on changing this habit, but I’m going to try because I think that what we say has a huge impact on other people--Not to mention what it does to ourselves.

Stay tuned for more info on the Right Speech Pledge!
