  • You can make money on any good (or odd) idea

    Tumbleweed3
    No joke. There is a lady grossing $40k/year selling tumbleweed. This is living proof that anyone is just one good idea away from doing something truly remarkable and special… to some people.

    Life lesson: Your idea may be odd or dangerous, but the net is filled with people looking for an idea just weird enough to send their hard earned PayPal dollars your way. Your ability to take a well-timed risk could get you somewhere you aren’t today. Take action!

    "What a crock!"
    Sure, she didn’t invent coke.     But she’s selling refuse for $25 a pop. That’s even cooler than selling addictive sugar water in my opinion. She may only end up as a "thousandaire" as a result… but who cares? It’s fun and people get joy from spending money on yard waste!

    p.s. Judging by the cheesy Christian art on the site… I think they go to church. That would make for some great small talk, "I sell weed on the net." "Oh, want some coffee?" I kept waiting for the sappy midi file to start playing "Onward Christian soldier." šŸ™‚

  • A dream of Stoney’s

    It’s been well documented that my dog, Stoney, has a distaste for the black squirrels in my backyard. And especially the ones that are half brown half black with the poofy annoying tails.

    This video… is his dream.

  • A lot of cow stuff

    I dunno, loads of cow stuff. Scary to think about this… but we even have more crazy cow stuff to come.

  • MainStreet Promo videos

    As promised, here are the videos shot last week that were showed in church yesterday.

    Main commercial.     This actually got applause in the first service. Not sure what’s up with that… but it made it even funnier. I guess you just have to applaud the opera and 9 am is too early to laugh out loud.


    After church reminder.     We used this as people were walking out. It was kind of an intentional "while you are walking out" funny video. I heard a couple of snorts after this one…

  • Competitive Bunny Jumping – Who Knew?

    All the rage apparently in Denmark. This video speaks for itself.

  • Cow Commercial Outtakes

    I think I’ve decided to keep our commercial for this Sunday morning on the lowdown until Sunday afternoon. But… at the same time… here’s a taste test.

    Here are a couple outtakes worth showing. The best part of filming this outsides at 2:30 PM was that school buses were driving by and high school students were honking. As I said before, I have no dignity left. We’re going all out to bring people to Jesus in Romeo.

  • Bush Gets His Groove On

    This speaks for itself…. amazing.

  • The Bible Moo-ves Me

    I officially have no shame. I am willing to do and be anything to help Romeo grow. A video is coming  that is, ridiculous. (insert your own groaner)

  • Mission Trip Gone Wild

    Doug
    I don’t pretend to know Doug  Fields as I’ve never talked to him. (but we do business with his company over at YMX, and I know his staff people are super cool.)  But Doug is the head youth dude at Saddleback and widely regarded as one of the best practitioners of youth ministry around.

    Here’s an email he sent to the parents of his youth ministry who had kids on a high school mission trip. As a person who has lead a mission trip gone bad, I found this very funny. As someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously, I’m glad to see that even "the big names" have a good time laughing at this calamity we call life.

          To: Saddleback parents
          From: Pastor Doug Fields
          Re: Mexico daily updates

    Okayā€¦so, if you read the last e-mail youā€™re thinking to yourself, ā€œHey, what a great trip! Iā€™m so happy that my child is on this trip.ā€ Thatā€™s exactly what I was thinking as I was sitting in the internet cafĆ© sending the last e-mail. As soon as I hit ā€˜send e-mailā€™ the prayers of the local farmers were answered. It poured. Seriously poured! Iā€™m
          talking ā€œNoah-likeā€ rain. It got a little spooky when animals started lining up 2 by 2.

      At that moment, Matt McGill and I become Starsky & Hutch and raced back to the camp siteā€¦a normal 30 minute drive with no rain, Hutch and I arrive safely within 45 minutes. As we approach, we see utter chaosā€¦it was the first of many times that would appear over the next 18 hours where I wouldnā€™t know whether to laugh or cry.

    The scene: vans stuck in mud, students running around trying to salvage some of their tents that had blown over in the wind and now resembled small, dough-boy pools.

  • at least we aren’t giving away a car

    Saw this cruising some blogs this morning and it made me chuckle in light of the puny gifts we are giving away at our church tomorrow.
