Is the world ready for...(drum roll)...Reverend Redstone?

[Redstone]

I walked down to the bar last night, and it was chilly, so I put a sweatshirt on under my jacket. The whole time I was at the bar, the drunk next to me turned around and told me "sorry, Father" every time he said "fuck."



Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Wow, my dear Rev.....I mean, Redstone!

Is that a NEW picture? You look gorgeous!

As I've said before, and no doubt will say again......

Lucky, lucky Mrs. Redstone!

You can minister to me any old time......:blush:

[Redstone]

4. That'll cost you eighty-two Hail Marys! Go, Margaret, and sin no more.

(But thanks a bunch for the compliment!)

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. ROFLMAO!

You are too funny, my dear Redstone......

Sin no more? Perish the thought!

Life would be awfully dull without some sinning, IMHO! :rofl:

:hug:

(Please don't call me Margaret, and you're welcome for the compliment!)

[TK421]

2. Forgive me Father Redstone, for I have sinned...it has been two months

since my last inflammatory post ( just don't ask me to say any hail marys or our fathers ) :boring:

[Redstone]

15. Then two Rosaries. Now get out there and inflame!

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

3. Hey Rev.

I ain't got nothin' to confess.

Except this one thing: There aren't any cans of tuna under my bed.

[Redstone]

13. NO TUNA? Fourteen Our Fathers for you.

And when you come to confession next week, there had better be a report of substantial tunage.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

14. Fourteen Our Fathers ?

I wouldn't know where to begin. :P

[Redstone]

16. Start with "Yo, Dad, we gotta talk..." and wing it from there.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

20. Yo, Dad, we gotta talk...

could cover a whole lot of territory :evilgrin: ya know what I mean

[Redstone]

25. Yup. That's why it's a good opener. Even if it gives Dad a coronary.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

29. Dad would be amused at the very least.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I can't recall the details but it involved using a lot of vulgar language in the presence of a priest. I was drunk at the time.

[Redstone]

10. That's OK. You apologized every single time. Only six Hail Marys for you.

(REALLY funny reply, by the way. Caused audible laughter on this end.)

Redstone

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. A reverend who looks like Jesus... interesting.

[SOteric]

8. DS1 is ordained.

:7

[Redstone]

11. I know. He took a picture of me ministering to my flock once.

Redstone

[Alleycat]

9. Ha HA

Wish I was there to witness that!

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. I used to have a Gamma T-shirt

that was black with white trim on the collar. When I wore it under an open-neck shirt, occasionally someone would ask if I were a priest.

[Jamastiene]

17. Off-topic: Gorgeous.

Wow, I know this is off-topic, but I have this thing I do when looking at people's eyes. Long story short, I used to be able to stay up all night and watch the Washington Journal call-in show on CSpan every morning. I am hard of hearing and my aunt was still asleep. I would put the closed captioning on the TV and mute it. When guests I didn't recognize came on, I would try to guess if they were conservative or progressive. I got pretty good at it. I judged by the look in their eyes.

Like I said, I know this if off-topic, but if I see a person with a certain dead look, I think they are probably conservative. If I see a compassionate look, I think they are probably progressive. Looking at your picture, you DEFINITELY would be one I would guess as progressive even before your spoke. From the look in your eyes, you have a beautiful deep seated compassionate look. Seriously.

Sorry, to go on and on and bore you with a long post, but I just had to say it. It's rare I see that look. Reminds me of my dearly departed granny's eyes. I KNOW she was compassionate and never voted Republican in her life.

As for the guessing game I play, I am right about 75 percent of the time. There are a lot of people who have eyes that don't fall into either category. I guess that accounts for the other 25 percent. I wish I could explain myself better. :shrug: Sorry, to go on and on about it, but :yourock: !

[Redstone]

26. No need to apologize for being off-topic. I enjoyed reading that. And

thank you for the compliment...I though I just looked tired in that picture.

Redstone

[redwitch]

18. Too funny! I am wearing a cowl and a wimple the next time I go drinking!

Sister Redwitch and Father Redstone. :pals:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Everyone going to a DU meetup should dress as priests and nuns!

Wouldn't that be a hoot!

[BikeWriter]

59. Oh shit, with my long silver hair and...

white blonde beard this is tempting!

[Redstone]

27. Let's go! I'm ready. That would be SO much fun.

Redstone

[flvegan]

19. But what was your response

to this drunk?

Did you warsh away all his sins? Sorry..."O Brother, Where Art Thou?" was just spinning in the DVD...

You ARE quite the striking man, brother.

[Redstone]

28. I said "Bless you, my son. Buy me a shot of Jack Daniel's and all

will be forgiven."

PS: If you want to hear the ultimate version of "Down to the River to Pray," find Peter Rowan's recording of it. It's even better than the Alison Krause version from that movie, if you can believe that's possible.

Redstone

[flvegan]

30. Did he?

I mean, did he buy you the shot?

If so, I've found a new gimmick for getting the drinky...

[Redstone]

31. Twice. Then he was so drunk he coupdn't remember to. Or maybe he

caught on to what I was doing.

Redstone

[LynzM]

57. There's a *better* version?

Oh man... I'm gonna have to get my hands (and ears) on that one.

Nice pic, dude. I totally see what you mean about it, and why. I still think you should come visit me for lunch like that sometime :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

21. That does look like the cleric's collar

Only thing that would have made it look more "clerical" would have been a Cassock.

[RevCheesehead]

23. Maybe it was an invitation?

:spank:<----the Methodist equivalent of "Hail, Mary"

Looking hot! :sizzle:

[Redstone]

37. You get sixteen and a half rosaries for thinking like that.

Plus two Stations of the Cross. And no skipping.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

44. I rarely skip anymore.

It causes too much :bounce::bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. And I'm sure there were a ton of women there who were certain they

could convince you to step over to "The Dark Side". ;) I love your beard. I love beards. MrG usually has one and I just adore it. Mrs Redstone is very lucky. :hi:

[Redstone]

33. The bar's called The Monkey Farm. That should tell you that there are

not many women there who are, um, all that tempting.

Thanks for the compliment. The beard's going to go as soon as it gets warm; it's running a bit to the grey side as you can see.

Redstone

[havocmom]

32. We are about due for one of those 'who is an ordained cleric' threads

turned up a lot of surprises last time around ;)

Between your hair and that painting, it looks like you're wearing the reamains of a feather boa too :evilgrin:

[Redstone]

34. Christ, it does! That, or a really bad punk-rock spiked-hair job.

Redstone

[havocmom]

35. Thought maybe you had opened a saloon

and hadn't had time to hire help ;) Looks a bit like the feather hair accent my daughter put together to go with the 1880s evening gown I made her for that festival in Tombstone!

So, hear any juicey confessions?

[Redstone]

36. Some, but they were kind of slurring their words so I didn't catch

most of it.

I'm going to do that again; it was fun. Maybe I'll buy a REAL clerical collar. Now, that's an idea for a magazine article, isn't it?

Redstone

[havocmom]

39. Good plan

Next month, try a tiara. Amazing the responses a tiara gets.

[Redstone]

41. I'll feel so pretty!

Redstone

[havocmom]

42. Dashing, even in semi-drag

Too rugged to be described as pretty.

You and Sam Elliot should open a place ;)

[Redstone]

45. He's a LOT shorter than me, but has a much better mustache. And has

Katherine Ross, too. Though I have Mrs R, so neener neener to him.

Boy, was he terrific in "Gettysburg," or what?

Redstone

[havocmom]

47. And he has a weak chin... looks sorta silly in profile

Love his voice though/

Actually, in this pic, you look like one of my favorite neighbors from back in my Tucson days. The man was wonderful and kind, like you. You have an older brother who has lived in Spain, Hawaii, and now in the Baked Pueblo?

[Redstone]

51. No, I'm the oldest brother. Sometimes I feel like I'm the oldest

of anyone.

Redstone

[bridgit]

38. forgive me Father Redstone, for surely i have sinned...

O8)

[Redstone]

46. You, my daughter, shall be forgiven. Of anything. Just because

I like you. Hey, this works out to being a great power trip!

Redstone

[bridgit]

49. hail mary full of grace, help me win this nascar race...

Father Redstone :yourock: O8)

[Redstone]

52. Done, my daughter. I'm easy.

It's easy to be easy when you're easy, yes?

Redstone

[Arugula Latte]

40. Hands off the choir boys, m'kay, Padre?

:7

[Redstone]

43. Easy for me to do. The girls, though, they got trubba. They wear

pretty racy stuff under those robes.

Redstone

[havocmom]

48. Damn, woulda bet money there was gonna be a plaid skirt remark there

Ask Havocdad about his Catholic School Daze and he will tell you it wasn't ALL bad :D

the man gets nuts if I put on his plaid shirt :shrug:

[Redstone]

53. Good God, the pleated skirt. Every man's weakness.

And it doesn't even have to be all that short.

Redstone

[havocmom]

54. One a you lads will have to 'splain the skirt thing before I die

It has always puzzled me.

[aquaman]

50. That is some funny stuff.....

Bar stories, good god the stuff that you see and hear.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

55. You could pass for an exorcist...

Next time you should take your demon-removal kit. :rofl:

[spacelady]

56. Holy Cow! I would love to hear a sermon per Redstone. I like how

the painting in the back gives your hair that "windblown" look.

[BikeWriter]

58. Sorry, Father, err, uhh! That's cool, at least he was respectful of you.

[Redstone]

61. Yes, he was a very polite drunk. I like that kind.

Redstone

[AirmensMom]

60. Looks like it to me, Rev!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LostinVA]

62. You're kinda cute, Redstone

[leftofthedial]

63. you have a witness!

fuck

sorry father
