Hmmm... this sheds some light on the whole lack of church attendance thing.
ALCOA, Tenn. – The son of a well-known Alcoa pastor has taken out an order of protection against his father, claiming he was threatened with a gun during an argument at a church over his lack of church attendance. The order of protection was filed by 32-year-old Michael Louis Colquitt against 60-year-old Joe Colquitt, pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church.
The younger man told police his father pulled out a handgun when they met at the church to discuss church attendance. He told officers his father pointed the gun at him and threatened to kill him, his wife and family.
Joe Colquitt declined to comment when contacted by The Daily Times of Maryville.
A Feb. 4 hearing was set in Blount County General Sessions Court.

“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.
The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep. [click to continue…]

Dear college football, you suck. Yes it’s true you offer some of the most exciting regular season action but your post season is the most ridiculously stupid thing in all of sports (and that includes soccer). No, I do not care about Middle Tennessee vs. Southern Miss. in the New Orleans Bowl. No, I don’t care about Marshall vs. Ohio in the Little Ceasars Bowl. And therefore no I don’t care about Texas vs. Alabama in the BCS title game. [click to continue…]

2009 was a great year for music, Michael Jackson died, American Idol went totally gay (which will give me some extra free time knowing I can avoid it altogether now), Kanye West imploded (he also gave us a new word “imma”), but best of all some great CD’s were released in 2009.
The three best CD releases are as follows: [click to continue…]
