FSM in the MSM

Jesse Walker | March 22, 2006

The New Jersey Record profiles the inventors of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, surely the most promising development in American religion since the rise of Festivus.

For more on DIY religions, go here. To mock me for using the phrase "MSM" non-ironically, go here.

Grin.

Since the FSM is a dig on intelligent design, isn't wondering about it's origins somewhat ironic, and recursive?

Can I play off the double post as an ironic comment on recursiveness?

Threadjack: the "comments" link for "Pot Smokers Demand to be treated like murderers" does not work.

Jennifer:

Well, to use ChicagoTom's logical-looptedoo from yesterday's "financial abortion" discussion, any punishment is justified by the fact that the person who broke the law knew beforehand what the punishment was, and anything after that was his responsibility.

These little bastards knew, prior to firing up their "water pipe", that the penalties included losing financial aid. Therefore, it is a just and fair penalty.

Gotta say, I've got new a Hero of Internet Memes (tm).

Still wonder if they're going to co-opt International Talk Like a Pirate Day a la the Yule/Christmas co-opting of the mideval Christian expansion.

re: "Um. What's an MSM?"

Ooh, ooh, I can answer that, 'cause I asked the same question a few days ago: MSM = mainstream media

And I still hate acronyms intensely!

Well you're in luck then, because MSM isn't an acronym, it's an initialism! :)

And here I was restraining myself from being all pedantic and pointing out that "MSM" isn't a phrase.

So, it really should be TLI, not TLA?
