big-ass mushroom
I was getting ready to mow the lawn yesterday and saw this mushroom planted in the middle of the backyard.
It was HUGE!
I guess our yard was getting a little jungle-like and that's what happens when there's a lot of rain and humidity. But seriously, that was one big-ass mushroom.

Nice shot! It reminds me of a reccuring dream I had as a child where I would find myself walking or driving through a strange land where everything was GIGANTIC and there were BIG-ASS mushrooms but they were really bright colors. Big-ass mushrooms are scary dude!

That last comment is actually from Joie. It could've been me except for the part about the recurring dream. :) I have been using the word "dude" more frequently, and I just can't seem to stop myself. On the other hand, I don't think anyone can use "big-ass" too much.

I tend to agree, but, then again, I have to disagree. How about this for Sunday August 8: Big-ass preacher: Associate Keith Ghormley. Text: Hebrews 12:14-29. Sermon Title: Big-Ass Worship on Mount Zion.
See? Somehow it just doesn't work ...

ha ha!! keith, maybe if we kept its use to refer to physical size, then we could possibly say that one can't use "big-ass" too much...

yeah... can't say i'd want to type that up for the sermon outline.

What if I was actually referring to your ass (and not the quadrupedal variety)? Then could I use "big-ass" too often? By the way, nice shroom shot.

Hmmm. I stand corrected.
Jeremy, yes, even once would be too often. (And, technically, "big-ass" is an adjective, so it would have to be "big-ass ass.")

considering that the mushroom, in its entirety, is actually much smaller than most asses...
but, as homer simpson says, let us not be troubled by semantics.

"Big-Ass Worship on Mount Zion" = Best. Sermon Title. EVER. Reminds me of that LarkNews article where the preacher starts dropping F-bombs as a way to reach the unsaved... http://tinyurl.com/5mxu7
(Actually, I just really wanted to type "ass"...)

I once heard a pastor say that he could title a sermon on Numbers 22:27-29 where God opens the mouth of a donkey - "The Ass Speaks." That way when the sermon tape was printed it would read:
Pastor Smith: The Ass Speaks

that is positively hilarious.

The lure of the forbidden, I suppose. :)
