My boss's boss called this morning and told me not to be so creative. LOL. They are afraid of Zombies!



Now someone else is doing the graphic and it's just going to be a picture of an open bible in the background. LOL.

They thought it was neat when I used a picture of Batman when the verse was about God providing the tools for victory over evil. And Superman when it was about providing strength, etc. I was even told by the Chaplain that he like the way my graphics helped bring home the point he was trying to convey. Guess the zombies took it too far.
interesting that you have a company chaplain to bad someone has no sense of humor.

That's what happens when your company gets a reputation of being a "christian" owned and operated. You get self-righteous bible thumpers with not only no sense of humor, but are less tolerant than the non-christians they often criticize.

Porsche has a chaplain. And according the Christophorus (the company magazine named after St Christopher the patron saint of travel) the had an evangelist speak with call to alter at the opening of the new Cayenne factory and test track. There was also a reception mass afterwards at the local Catholic church complete with communion.

They were playing some Ozzy Ozborne covers?

i have a SIL that thinks anything not played by a full orchestra and written after the 1800's is satanc. Evidential Satan had no control over music back then. Also any movie that is in color has bad morals. B/W is okay.

"hell & high water" and "mojo priest" all originals did them in I think. Along with House of the Rising Sun.

The mother of the bride is often WORSE than the bride on the "big" day. I photographed too many weddings to count. The mother of the bride of an only child can be loony tunes. Some of them are great, but a lot of them are nucking futz.

One wedding I shot was classic stupid bride syndrome. She wanted to be married OUTSIDE at the park on the 4th of July. It was 108 degrees and the dumb bride had picked BLACK for the poor bridesmaids. Full sun 108 degrees wearing black is heatstroke time. I had to stop taking pictures and catch a bridesmaid as she passed out. I had to drag her to some shade. It was the sweatiest wedding if all time.

Evening Y'all.
I was still drunk from the party the night before my wedding. I wonder if that would be grounds for an annulment?
BTW
Hi My name is Rick and I'm an ass.
I have an addiction
I like to demoralize young kids with clapped out rice crap on the back country roads, even when I am in Peggy.
There I feel soooooooooo much better getting that off my chest
