I just got home with this frappucino, yo.

Favorite bit (so far): "Lording...." as the first graphics "load".

I hadn't been to the site recently and I see they've redesigned it. It's one of my favorite humor sites. It used to be even tackier. I loved all the flying statements they used to have behind Betty: "So close to Jesus, he validates my parking," and things like that.

I'll bet Betty could use some good recipes for Jello!

_Real_ Christians don't touch the stuff.

Jello-O, well . . . it _wobbles_ doesn't it? In a most unseemly manner. And those bright provocative colors . . . well, it all seems very French when you think about it.

I don't believe they have anything resembling Jello, however, Dieu en soit loue9. I just looked it up in my French-French dictionary, and it says "It is used in microbiology as a culturing medium, and in the glue industry, photography, etc.") I'm pretty sure that if they want transparent yumminess, they make aspics or jellies.

They have custard too, which to my amusement is known as creme anglais (excuse bad spelling).

The French are okay, but as my wife keeps saying, they are too much like the English.

What Google search turns up this comment thread? Why would anyone make such a search? It's happily rare, so maybe it really is unlikely, but I'm curious.

You'd think he'd at least cap the name 'Jesus', for Chri...crying out loud.
