On October 4, 1974 the world welcomed my sass mouth to existence. Humanity has not been the same since.I wish we could get together for a big SFL crazy, sarcastic birthday party. You wouldn't have to bring a gift. I prefer cash anyways. But since you can't share a party in cyber space, just know you'd be invited and you'd get SFL Bible College credit, too.
Even though it's my birthday, I have a gift for you!
Because I will be 34 in less than 12 hours I have one of my most favorite videos of all time to share with you. My sister tipped me off to this a year ago and Nicole from May I Water Your Camels? reminded me of them. (Go see Nicole's blog. She got the name from my SCL post.) Remember before you see them we all have lots of misconceptions about Jesus. What you are about to behold exploits those stereotypes better than anything I've ever seen. Get out your Depends, you're gonna need 'em.
Happy Birthday Everybody!!!!
As you watch the clips - there are 4 in all - which lines should we adopt for our Bible College? My favorite: "Thee before thou except after thine." What's your favorite?
I personally enjoy "what in the name of me is going on here?"
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday nonetheless.
OMG I was laughing so much my sides did ache and my heart went pitter pat! Happy birthday Stacy!
ReplyDeleteAs Nicoles Dad let me say how proud I am that the money I have sowed into Bible College has reaped such a harvest...
ReplyDelete(I liked the "what in the name of me is going on here" as well.)
Happy Birthday!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI heart SFL!!!!!
I laugh at these video's ever time I see them! Some times I say "what in the name of me" in real life...but no body gets it so I laugh by my self....
but that happens a lot
Nicole
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling...
Oh, I hope there's a sequel. This was hysterical.
ReplyDeleteStacy, Happy, Happy Birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday, Stacy!
ReplyDelete"Rule #1: Spend all of your free time in church.
Rule #2: You're not allowed to have any fun unless you're laughing at how dumb the devil is.
Rule #3: Wear t-shirts with my face on it.
Rule #4: Always smile and act happy."
haha that is hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY STACY!!!
Teehee, funny stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)
Happy Birthday Stacy!!!
ReplyDelete"How do you expect to get to heaven playing board games?"
"Your feather plume is poofier than mine".
ReplyDeleteThis was funny, but a bit sad at the same time. I wonder if the guy who made this went to a very legalistic Christian school and ended up on drugs like most of the kids I went to school with. I know, quite an obvious observation on my part, eh? Well, this guy is very funny and creative.
Christy -
ReplyDeleteIt was actually done by a chruch, but I can't remember all the details. It was about rethinkng how we see Jesus. Point proved, I think.
"Benjamin, you're not wearing your WWJD bracelet."
Classic.
Happy Birthday, Stacy!
ReplyDeleteMy wife's birthday is tomorrow. You were both born under the same sign. I'm not surprised.
My first thought was "I'm walkin' in the dirt"... But I also think "What in the name of me is going on here."All of the people who did these voice overs had to have at one time been on the Old Andy Griffith Show! Funny stuff..
ReplyDeleteOh --- and Happy Birthday
ReplyDeleteAt first I was just really sad that someone would have such a negative view of Christianity. Yes, I know many people hold that view. So I looked up their website.
ReplyDeleteVintage21 is a church in Raleigh that used 4 videos like this to break some of the myths we hold about Christ, Christians and Christianity.

I hope you had a great birthday Stacy!!
ReplyDelete"I walked on water, I think I can walk to the door."
ReplyDeleteYeah. That's where it's at.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Stacy from Louisville......HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
ReplyDeleteand many more... *jazz hands*
tarajackson,
ReplyDeleteIt was worth turning 34 just for the jazz hands. There isn't near enough jazz hand love in Christendom these days.
Happy Birthday Stacy!!!
ReplyDeleteStacey, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and have been reading some older posts.
I am stunned -- I think I've been channeling you. Just yesterday I was on the SCL Facebook page and made the remark that I would be *so* there if my church played "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" as part of the worship and speculated on writing alternate lyrics -- and I see you've done it!
Guess I'm still playing catch up. *grin* Perhaps one day soon I'll share the anatomically corrected version of "Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord".
Thanks also for sharing your story. I had a recent epiphany myself. I'm a new follower of your blog!
Welcome Leanne!
ReplyDeleteWake me up before you go go....
Happy Belated Birthday! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Stacy!
ReplyDeleteI personally liked "You drank a little too much last night. Not way too much, just enough to piss me off."
HA!
okay stace, it's official. we were separated at birth. i LOVE these. my brother told me about them a long time ago, i think he used them in a bible study or something. awesome birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day Stace!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a little late, I know, but trust me, I have many, maNy, good excuses. I made Truffle Fudge Brownies for you and did not burn them and ate them until I wanted to vomit. You're welcome. All God's birthday Grace & Peace, daphne
Happy Birthday Stacy! I'm going to be 50 this week. Now I'm really old and crochedy... but I still have my sense of humor. One of the best parts of getting older is that the older we get, the farther we get away from bad 80's hair.
ReplyDeleteI love all of those vintage 21 videos and the voice over they used for Jesus.
Oh my gosh! My husband and I have been watching these videos for years and laughing our heads off every single time. They never aren't funny.
ReplyDeleteFavorite lines:
"John, you drank too much wine last night. Not way too much. Just enough to make me angry."
"Philip, you know what you did. I just can't repeat it because I'm Jesus."
"You are all evil. There is no hope. That is all."
I have never seen that before but it is very MST3000 and I am very down with that.
ReplyDeleteStacy! I love the Jesus videos!
ReplyDeleteDaphne,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you dropped a MST3000 on my blog. That was my Sunday night college ritual.
Happy Belated Birthday to you!!
ReplyDelete" I forgot your name, so you are off the hook for now."
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Stacy!
ReplyDeleteSorry this is late-I've been without computer for a bit. I'm an October birthday, too!
I love your blog!
Happy Belated Birthday! I must admit that October 4th is a great day to be born...
ReplyDelete--insert shameless plug for my birthday on the same day--
I hope you had a great day! I know my birthday was a great one.
Love the site!
OMB! we play these at church...CRACK ME UP!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that was awesome. that goes in the funny Christian video hall of fame, right next to Jesus is a friend of mine. actually i though when Jesus was telling them what they did wrong that he was going to say 'don't try to hide, cause i'm Jesus, and i'll zap you any way i can'
ReplyDeleteoh, as for my favorite, i had one but forgot it when i was reading everyone else's.
