FORMER RIDGEWAY MAYOR WINS AMERICAN IDOL?

On The Serious Side!?!


THE LORD'S PRAYER


Rather cleverly done.
This is in two parts,
the prayer (
in blue type ) and
GOD (
in red type)

in response.
It is very, very good.

   **********

Our Father Who Art In Heaven.
Yes?

Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.

But -- you called ME!

Called you?
No, I didn't call you.
I'm praying.
Our Father who art in Heaven.

There -- you did it again!

Did what?

Called ME.
You said,
"Our Father who art in Heaven"
Well, here I am.
What's on your mind?

But I didn't mean anything by it.
I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day.
I always say the Lord's Prayer.
It makes me feel good,
kind of like fulfilling a duty.

Well, all right.
Go on.

Okay, Hallowed be thy name . .

Hold it right there.
What do you mean by that?

By what?

By "Hallowed be thy name"?

It means, it means . . good grief,

I don't know what it means.
How in the world should I know?
It's just a part of the prayer.
By the way, what does it mean?

It means honored, holy, wonderful.

Hey, that makes sense.

I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before.
Thanks.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.

Do you really mean that?

Sure, why not?

What are you doing about it?

Doing? Why, nothing, I guess.

I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control,
of everything down here like you have up there.
We're kinda in a mess down here you know

Yes, I know;
but, have I got control of you?

Well, I go to church.

That isn't what I asked you.
What about your bad temper?
You've really got a problem there, you know.
And then there's the way you spend your money --
all on yourself.
And what about the kind of books you read?

Now hold on just a minute!
Stop picking on me!
I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church!

Excuse ME.
I thought you were praying
for my will to be done.
If that is to happen,
it will have to start with the ones
who are praying for it.
Like you -- for example.

Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups.
Now that you mention  it, I could probably name some others.

So could I

I haven't thought about it very much until now,

but I really would like to cut out some of those things.
I would like to, you know, be really free.

Good.
Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together -- You and ME.
I'm proud of You.

Look, Lord, if you don't mind,
I need to finish up here.
This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.
Give us this day, our daily bread.

You need to cut out the bread.

You're overweight as it is.

Hey, wait a minute! What is this?
Here I was doing my religious duty,
and all of a sudden you break in
and remind me of all my hang-ups.

Praying is a dangerous thing.

You just might get what you ask for.
Remember,
you called ME -- and here I am.
It's too late to stop now.
Keep praying.  ( . . pause . . )
Well, go on.

I'm scared to.

Scared? Of what?

I know what you'll say.

Try ME.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

What about Ann?

See? I knew it!
I knew you would bring her up!
Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories.
She never paid back the money she owes me.
I've sworn to get even with her!

But -- your prayer --
What about your prayer?

I didn't -- mean it.

Well, at least you're honest
But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness

and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her.
Boy, have I got some plans for her.
She'll wish she had never been born.

No, you won't feel any better.
You'll feel worse.
Revenge isn't sweet.
You know how unhappy you are --
Well, I can change that.

You can? How?

Forgive Ann.
Then, I'll forgive you;
And the hate and the sin,
will be Ann's problem -- not yours.
You will have settled the problem
as far as you are concerned.

Oh, you know, you're right.
You always are.
And more than I want revenge,
I want to be right with You . . (sigh).
All right . all right . .
I forgive her.

There now!
Wonderful!
How do you feel?

Hmmmm. Well, not bad. Not bad at all!
In fact, I feel pretty great!
You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight.
I haven't been getting much rest, you know.

Yeah, I know.
But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on.

Oh, all right.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Good! Good! I'll do that.
Just don't put yourself in a place
where you can be tempted.

What do you mean by that?

You know what I mean.

Yeah. I know.

Okay.
Go ahead. Finish your prayer.

For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.

Do you know what would bring me glory --
What would really make me happy?

No, but I'd like to know.
I want to please you now.
I've really made a mess of things.
I want to truly follow you.
I can see now how great that would be.
So, tell me . . .How do I make you happy?

YOU just did.

A FOX NEWS ALERT! - by Bill O'Really

 

After watching Taylor Hicks win American Idol and all that loot coming his way, former Mayor Dewphus Hogg decided to call it a night, slowly fell asleep with visions of stardom. As he went into a "sawing the logs snore" his asspirations went into high mode. Simon, the egotistical edge of the show and the one Boss admired most made the official announcement at the Century House in Ridgeway that former Mayor Hogg had been selected to appear on American Idol as the biggest fatass to ever appear on the show. Songs and wardrobe were chosen that fit the Hogg style. He was dressed and rehearsed for his first number.
 

Randy: "You were formally Mayor of Ridgeway, South Carolina and I understand a beautiful lady, sweet Charlene beat you soundly."

 

"Yes, Randy that's true" said Mayor Hogg. Paula quipped and said "we picked this first song as a tribute to you." Former Mayor Hogg was dressed in overalls, suspenders, barefooted with a straw hat and he nailed it with the first song "She Got the Goldmine, I got the gawl dang humiliating shaft!
 

Randy: Fits your deameanor
 

Paula: Are You For Real!

 

Simon, Simon, SIMON! Oh My God, I'm Speechless
With all Boss' cronies enough votes were always there to keep the Hogg on the show. He had the PGA locked down with millions of votes and this ain't got nothing to do with golf but the Pot Growers Association along with the astronomy club or Moon Shiners association. Also 85 year old Claire Bunnslinger of Ridgeway had emailed all the AARP members in the country to vote for Dewphus Hogg. She fondly remembered when he tipped the scales at a mere 300 pounds, at 9 years old. The producers decided to get tough, dressed the Hogg like a long haired hippie that had been to Krispy Kream too many times and our illustrious Mayor nailed the performance with his unorthodox version that would make Charlie Daniels cringe.

Some people say I'm No Count "its true"
I'm Crazy As A Coon
I eat a Pound of Grits In the Mornin'
Two Pounds of Chitlins in the Afternoon

 

The Crowd went balistic. The loved it!
 

Randy: What kind of coon?
 

Paula: A s@#$%^&?
 

Simon, Simon, SIMON!! What In the Hell are grits?
 

Well the show came down to the season finale. It had come down to I'm de former Mayor Dewphus Hogg of Ridgeway VS. Barbra Drysand, Beauty and the Beast. Barbra dedicated her song to the Boss "memories"
 

Well since each act got to pick their last song former Mayor Hogg of Ridgeway decided to show his ass as usual. He knew he had a lockdown on the vote. He had picked a nightmare of a song, he didn't care anymore, greed once again overcame any sense of decency and as the band struck up the first chords of the James and Bobby Purify classic, the lights slowly lit up to a 400 pound Hogg with a Pink Nylon Tanktop, Blue Spandex biker shorts and rainbow socks. The audience went into total shock.
 

"Now Bend Over let Me See You Shake A Tail Feather", "Shake shake shakeit, Skooby Doo Loop de lie, Bend Over Let Me See You Shake A Tail Feather". After the shock wore off the crowd a solid minute of silence later and total disbelief the Judges, well
 

Randy: My glasses are all fogged up
 

Paula: Is that your belly button or?
 

Simon, Simon, SIMON!!!!!!!!!!! And you sir, when you bend over I'm sure I'm not observing a tail feather but Carlsbad Caverns with Stalagmites and Stalagtites with creepie crawlies. I got it mate, they're little grits!
 

Well our former Mayor won American Idol. He is now a recording artist for Crisco Records. His new cd cover shows him bending over to pick up a watermelon and titled "Shake A Tail Feather, say no to Crack". Then Boss woke up, got dressed and headed for the studio determined more that ever to be the next American Idol.
