Christianity vs Buddhism

Sometimes I forget Jethro isn't a Christian. This isn't because I forget that he's Asian, it's just that he's a better Christian than most Christians.

I know more hymns than God. Seriously. Perhaps it has something to do with growing up in a cult. So it isn't an odd phenomenon to catch me singing "Bringing In The Sheaves" at random intervals. What was odd, at least to me, was hearing Jethro singing "Shaving My Wife's Cooch" to the same tune while he collected the necessary implements. He had no idea it was a hymn.

Now I'm a fan of South Park. I can tolerate religious slander if it means that I get to watch them skewer metrosexuals ("We're HERE, we're not QUEER, but we're CLOSE, so get USED to it!"). I mean, I haven't beheaded anyone yet. But I'll admit to a slight shock at hearing Jethro singing the word "cooch" in a hymn. I did laugh though.

Good Buddists always save their wives cooch to a Christian hymn, it's on page 294, look it up.

I can't stop laughing. I even slapped the desk pretty hard a few times and still had a hard time catching my breathe.
Having kids makes you put alot of otherwise unimportant and mundane tasks to song; however, inserting words such as cooch into a hymn is a new one for me.

I do that to Jewish hymns all the time.
Oh, I shave too.

I shave my cooch to "When the Saints Come Marching In"

Kristin - Somehow I missed that one.

Jen - And "Bringing In The Sheaves" is such a smarmy hymn.

Brighton - How about "Coochie, Coochie, Coochie" instead of "Dradle, Dradle, Dradle"

Inanna - But we know they're not really saints, right?

I'll never be able to sing that song again without thinking of you getting shaved....

Slightly reminded of the movie Ray and what happened when he jazzed up church music.

Shaving...its a good thing.

We may have to come up with some of our own grooming songs. I like that idea.
