Your big ha-ha is somewhat lessened by your mistake in the title of this thread: 'is' instead of 'if'.

Worry not, appeasement-loving infidels! Chirac & Schr�der defend the Butcher of Baghdad.

If God were one of us, he'd probably be on everyone's Ignore list.

Who f*in' cares? I don't see how that would change our lives. Unless he actually started affecting the world, in which case we'd have proof of his existence. But since the whole point of religion is that you need a leap of faith in order to be down with god, he probably wouldn't do that. So again, who cares?

Oh wait a minute, I forgot... God is one of us--She's Alanis Morissette!

He's probably correct your grammar; that should be "what if God were one of us"...

Ya but:

If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to His face if you were faced with him
In all his glory? What would you ask
If you had just one question?
D E
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
F#m D A E
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home...

If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see, if seeing meant that you would have to
Believe in things like heaven and in Jesus
And the saints and all the prophets?
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome
*Solo*

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Just trying to make his way back home
Like a holy rolling stone
D sustained
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome...

Would you believe He had an eye infection
And yeah yeah
God looks baked
Yeah yeah
God smells good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God smoked cannabis
Hit the bong like some of us
Drove a tidy micro-bus
And He subscribes to Rolling Stone
When God made this place
In the beginning, did he plant any seeds
Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve
So they'd be hungry for the apple that the snake was always offering
And yeah yeah
God rolls great
Yeah yeah
God smells good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God smoked cannabis
Do you 'spose He had a buzz
When He made the platypus
When He created both our homes
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne
And when the saints go marching home
Maybe He sits and smokes a bone

God is one of us. I met him. He was at the corner of Third and University.

Nice guy. I gave him 47c.

I always thought the lines were:

Drove a tie-dyed micro-bus

When He created Earth our home

Maybe He sits and smokes a bowl.

he's obsessed with you? okay. who is the one who keeps asking for pictures of the other one, amongst you two?

what? it's you, asking for his? yes. i thought so.

your "obsessed" card is long overplayed. are you getting a new book of "witty putdowns and one-liners for the single gay canadian" for xmas? we've all heard the others. if the book doesn't show up, post more pics of that great coffee table. that go-faster stripe makes most of us laugh, that's for sure.

what do i get now? are you going to post my pic, yet again, or do i get a new one-liner? did you open your present early? oh man, i can hardly wait...

I was wondering how long it would take you to reply. As far as I remember you posted a pict of me with gay remarks on it. Only then did I comment on your horrid uglyness

I wonder if it would conform to sig guidelines?

For those of you who don't get what he's saying, let me break it down:

Canadian: The US is inferior to Canada, Americans have no taste in women, my vroom vroom coffee table owns all, Apple sucks and has no direction but i still use their gear anyway, and maybe if I make enough SNs my mother will love me again.

Me: YUO = TEH LUSE CANANANDIAn~!!!111!!!!11

Canadian: STOP STALKING ME!!!!!!!! I'm going to get the mods on you!!!!!!

Well you are close except for the Apple part, I don't knock Apple on these boards unless it is something legit. Oh and the mother thing is waaay off

You also forgot the part about the Dude being a manic depressive and the only way he makes himself feel better (other then the high doses of antidepressants) is hiding behind his computer and photoshoping others to try to make them look worse then him.

Then you just about got it right

Considering you just admitted to everything I said except the Apple crap...wonder what the US Department of State would think.

okay, so, what do you hide behind? shall we count the ways?

you make people hate canadians, like zimphire makes people hate christians

if you enjoy picking on a 16 year old californian boy so much, i think authorities need to be alerted. shall we send them to the address on your website?

Could my recent return to pot-smoking have to do with my deteriorating typing skills? I think I'm going to stop smoking -- again. Stick with mudslide mix and white Russians.

You know what time it is.

Hey you love chasing me Phil, he is the one picking on me with pictures all the time so I think you are a little confused there big shot considering the both of you make gay jokes. Oooooh, he called me gay, I am so ashamed

You even mentioned how much you love to follow me around and point out my mistakes. Considering I ignore you until you spew some attempt at a dis at me I think you need to rethink who has the problem champ. So perhaps you should just ad me to your ignore list if I bother you so much. But then, what would you have to do?
