By the way, that new Dolly Parton album is pretty good. I don't know what unspeakable acts I'm going to have to perform in order to attend her Backwoods Barbie Tour, but I'll do anything. She's like 104, so this might be my only chance.
While looking for a good Dolly picture for this blog, I stumbled upon one of the best sites ever--a site proclaiming Dolly to be a Satanist!
Observe:
Crazy Biatch writes: "In an interview by Rick Clark, Dolly Parton revealed that she is NO Christian. I do not write articles to be unkind, but out of necessity to expose those who masquerade as Christians. Anyone who knows anything about the history of rock-n-roll knows that the band Led Zeppelin is Satanic to the core. Dolly is correct in thinking Stairway to Heaven is a spiritual song, but it's of the spirit of Satan, not God. Stairway to Heaven is Satanic to the core. Music is one of the most powerful mediums through which Satan works. John Denver said, 'Music is more powerful than Christianity.' The sinful flesh loves Devilish music...music which has a rock-'n-roll beat and worldly lyrics. Most often, the Holy Spirit of God is ignored and shunned away by hardened hearts."
*tear*
That tear was from laughter, not sadness. Knowing that Dolly is doing the work of Satan brings joy to my heart, joy that sounds like Satanic music sung by Jimmy Page. I think I'll add Led Zeppelin to the list of music I want to hear today. 'When the Levee Breaks', 'That's the Way'--something churchy. If I listen to that while reading Mark Twain (a blatant atheist), I might go to Hell tomorrow.
Mark Twain quotes a day like this would laugh at:
"If Christ were here now, there is one thing he would not be: a Christian."
"'In God We Trust'. I don't believe it would sound any better if it were true."
"If there is a God, he is a maligned thug."
"The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies."
"Faith is believing something you know ain't true."

Just so you know, I made Jambalaya today and it worked out pretty well too. (Don't get too excited, it was out of a box.)
Also, the word verification term right now is "briqok." I'm not entirely sure what that would mean if it was a word. But it doesn't sound good.
Mark Twain rox!
How cool is your blog? Who knew?! I should have went here months ago!!
How are you sweetness?
My blog is THAT COOL, I knew, and I wasn't here months ago.
Also, I am fine. :)
YOU rock.
I'm playing Led Zeppelin III right now and 'That's The Way' is a great song. I've now moved on to another 'evil' song off of III called 'Tangerine', the name alone strikes fear and is obviously devilish. Zeppelin is still my favorite band by far, though I guess poor old Bonham's down below.
