Catholic Mass: the Video Game Experience!
Nov 18th
Who wouldn’t want a game that makes us practice kneeling, sprinkling one another, and performing subservient rituals? 
Would you get bonus points for playing the marriage sacrament with a gay couple? Spoofs make me happy!
Love Questionnaire
Jul 18th

I feel especially high on love this weekend, so I wanted to ask you folks for your perspectives and stories on the subject. Feel free to answer these on your blog or in the comments below.
- When was one time you felt truly loved?
- Can you love someone without liking them?
- What’s your favorite love song?
- One of my friends became an atheist last year and stopped believing love existed. What’s your reaction to this?
- What’s your favorite way to receive love? How about showing/giving love?
- Do you think there are different kinds of love? (ie. romantic, friendship, love for things, loving your pets, familial)
- What’s one of the oddest or stupidest things you’ve done for love?
- Can love be quantified? (eg. “I love you more than my ____” or “I love her more now than ever.”)
- Is love an emotion or an action (or something else altogether)? Can they be mutually exclusive?
- Is it possible to love without conditions? i.e. No matter what someone does, feels, is, or could possibly be, you’ll love them.
- Is is better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all?
- It is said that sacrificing your life for another’s is the highest form of love. What do you think?
- When does infatuation turn into love?
Freedom Rings (But Sounds Better Autotuned)
Jul 4th
Dear United States of America,
Today is the day we recognize your childhood rebellion against the overbearing parental units of foreign power. May it be a lovely time to recognize that you don’t actually know everything and can be a bit of an obnoxious twat once in a while, but you’re still totally awesome and I love you to bits.
–GG
In honor of the beloved values of liberty and freedom, I’ve chosen to feature three of my favorite songs by The Gregory Brothers. They adapted, mixed, and autotuned three pivotal speeches from the 20th century–making them more memorable than ever. I hope you love them too!
- “Martin Luther King Sings” samples the civil rights leader’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech given in 1963.
- “John F. Kennedy backed by band from the future” brings new life to possibly the most stirring inaugural address of our history–given by former President John F. Kennedy.
- “Winston Churchill backed by band from the future” (yes, a non-American!) is my favorite of the three adapted from the former British Prime Minister’s 1941 Great Declaration against the Nazi threat.
The mp3s are available for free download.
