LOLTheist: Blasphemy is Teh Funneh

So, Loltheist & I were out at our local bookseller, where we came across Nun Bowling: It’s sinfully fun! I don’t really think we need to embellish this one.

Nun.

Bowling.

I’m just sayin’.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Ghostbusters. Being a child of the 80s, Ghostbusters is a deeply ingrained memory of awesomeness from my childhood (such as I was ever a child). Hell, I remember back in the dawn of the age of VCRs, watching Ghostbusters on a first generation VHS player…

Next week (on the 16th) a cleaned up edition of Ghostbusters on Blu Ray is coming out, and I’m both tempted and dreading the thought of revisiting what surely can’t hold up after this long…

On the other hand, I am totally getting Ghostbusters The Video Game. That it was created in the first place was unlikely. From getting Bill Murry to not only sign off, but participate, to getting the entire cast (minus Sigourney Weaver). Then just as the trailers were starting to appear for launch, a sudden and tumultuous cancellation by Activision Blizzard (Oh Blizzard, how could you merge with Activision?) almost scuttled it in the 11th hour. Only to be saved by Atari, Atari, a brand that everyone seems to have owned by this point. Here’s to hoping Activision Blizzard gets schooled for turning down what hopefully will be a long overdue awesome game that makes a mint. Well awesome except for the Wii version. Poor little Wii.

Let’s also hope it’s a total success because it may trigger a new movie.

Now if I could only justify spending $200+ for the complete dvd set for the animated Real Ghostbusters series, which was one of my favorite cartoons. Coincidentally, years later I discovered some of my favorite episodes were written by J Michael Straczynski, of Babylon 5 fame.

Here’s a blank copy if you would like to make your own caption to celebrate the occasion.

They have a spiffy website too.

Apparently reader The Right Reverend RevMo thinks their new album, The Best of Blasphemy is the sort of thing that people here would be interested in. We tend to agree, so here it is. Sadly, we won’t make a dime off of it, but anyone willing to take up the habit deserves something for their troubles. Available from their website or CDBaby. Stop by either to listen to clips.

We’re going to close our Cafepress store, we think, if we remember and have the motivation(seriously, don’t ask how long it took to move web hosts.) Sometime this month, we’ll do it. So consider this a last call for merch. Probably two weeks at the latest (or maybe tomorrow, fate is fickle that way). We may look around somewhere else to setup something, but I wouldn’t count on it.

It has to be photoshopped right? No, biblically inspired baked goods, cereals, and pastas are the order of the day. I thought it was just a joke, until I saw that they were indeed available on Amazon. I should of known better than to doubt the Consumerist. Although I will give them credit for an interesting concept, and being helpful to those who really do need gluten free diets. But did they really need a secular label?

While you’re at it, why not try Genesis 1:29 Sprouted Grain & Seed Bread!

Opening today is Bill Maher’s comic take on religion, Religulous. While I would rather be running a banner ad for it instead of Muslim Singles Dating, alas we can not. Ah well, still, chances are if you like this site, you’ll like the movie and it offers me a chance to post the far superior movie poster used outside the United States.. Hell, I might even go see it, and I think the last movie I remember seeing in a theater was Kung Fu Hustle.

*Ok, I just had to slip some form of shameless advertisement in, just on principle.

Now available on DVD.
