Carnival of Crazy #22
Wednesday, 05.31.06 @ 12:17AM 
Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside! With my apologies to ELP, its time for the 22nd Carnival of Crazy, chock full of links to strange things going on all over, submitted by folks from all over. I volunteered for this hosting gig, because 1. I need the publicity for my new URL (which BTW is http://misscellania.squarespace.com in case you want to link me) and b. putting this together is a lot like what I do every day here, so its no trouble. Let me know which of these crazy links you like best!

THE RIVER
A southern Baptist minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, “If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.”
With even greater emphasis he said, “And if I had all the wine in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.”
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, “And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.”
Sermon complete, he sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, “For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365, “Shall We Gather at the River.”
The Carnival of Crazy comes out somewhere every other Wednesday, so the next one would be June 14th.
