Fri... er, Saturday Funny

Cross posted from According to Coop (my political/current events blog), with a tip of the hat to marko, here's a mashup of Home Alone and I Am Legend. If you remember the former and have seen the latter, you may understand the humor I found in this.

Side note: This marks post number 75 for While Rome Burns. 100, here we come!

About The Author

I was inspired to write this when I noticed that the writers of CRN.info have a "Who We Are" page, including subpages for each contributor.

Dan Cooper, or "Coop" as he is known to his friends, resides in the Milwaukee, WI area, sharing an apartment with his widowed mother and two spoiled cats. He is an aspiring chef and baker, and enjoys cooking for family, close friends, friends in general, and gatherings of all sizes. He is a member of Victory International Fellowship, an Assemblies of God church, in Brookfield, WI, where he sings in the choir and on the worship team, giving him an outlet for his musical talents. He also serves as a volunteer youth sponsor, giving him an outlet to be the big kid his friends (and students) know him to be. He is an avid reader, an occasional writer, a karaoke junkie, and a fitness enthusiast working on guru status.

Willow Creek Changes Course

After several years and multiple millions of dollars spent, Willow Creek discovers that it's still the basics that are the most effective; prayer, study, and fellowship. An interesting read, to be sure, from the Out of Ur blog of Leadership Journal at Christianity Today, which I am adding to my blogroll.

Blogroll Bloat

OK, it's not really bloat, but is borrowed from one of the bloggers in my area that I read regularly. Anyway, please welcome iggy at ~ emerging thought in Montana to the While Rome Burns blogroll. More additions coming soon (I know, I keep saying that...) But for now, I have to get back to work. I'm working on a big project right now that is chewing up my brain and spitting it back out. Not fun at all.

From the "Lack of Foresight" Department...

...comes this gem from Mark Oestreicher at ysmarko.

Did anyone on the church board let their mind wander just a little bit before they went ahead with this name?

Wrong on several levels, but still funny.

Side note: this is my 50th post at While Rome Burns. So do something celebratory!

Guidelines for Comments

The first few are from my "other" blog, According to Coop, which deals with political stories, national news, local news, and other stuff that just doesn't fit here. Much like While Rome Burns, it's mostly just a sounding board for me that I have opened up to the Internet. Anyway...

As I seem to be having more folks showing up and commenting here at While Rome Burns, I thought it was a good time to set down some ground rules for commenting on this blog. More guidelines than rules, but if you are going to comment here, I ask that you abide by them.

1. Keep it clean. You don't need to use bad language to make your point.

2. Keep it friendly. If you wouldn't say what you're about to say to someone's face, don't say it on this blog.

3. Keep it respectful. People of all backgrounds, beliefs, and opinions are welcome here. You can disagree with someone and that's fine, but don't insult them because they don't agree with you.

4. Keep it concise. Please don't write novels in the comment section. If you have that much to say, you can start your own blog right here on Blogger for free.

5. Please check your spelling. I don't expect you to be able to win the national spelling bee, but please take a moment to make sure everything is spelled correctly. It makes it a lot easier to understand just what it is you are trying to say.

6. Keep it on topic. If your comment covers the content of two posts, please split it into two comments. That way, the discussion all stays in the same place, and everyone can follow along easily. And please don't drag something completely unrelated into the discussion (for example; don't drag Islam into a discussion about Rick Warren).

This is not in any way meant to be exhaustive, and this list may change in the future. If it does, I will let you know. Until then, please abide by these guidelines.
