Yeah, I just noticed that my local hospital specifically adds "don't bring in stargazer lilies" on the "don't come in wearing perfume or cologne" signs.

I still remember an old Gunsmoke (radio version - don't know if they remade it for TV, but it wouldn't surprise me as I've heard two different performances of it) that put a grim twist on it with the seemingly sweet and naive female character basically getting her jollies by men fighting over her. (Three at least are

It may vary. I seem to remember they used "Rock Around the Clock" for several more seasons in syndication (the networks frequently required a title or theme change for anything that was still airing in prime time.)

Some places, though - notably Scotland, but other countries as well - there's a third allowable verdict of "not proven", which has no penalty attached but is not the same as " not guilty."

The "But But But" here just reminds me of chickens.

Kids today…

Somewhere in the decade or two before he became a committed right-wing dick, Ray Stevens got it with "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex (On His Television Show?)."

No idea. I just remember both her and Michael W. Smith being raked over the coals (I was an Armed Forces DJ at the time) for charting without one mention of God.

To be fair, I'm going by A) what I knew 30+ years back…but also B) the parking lots around various churches where I live.

"Such NICE Negroes!"

The name that always cracked up the Bible class. (OK, in the Bible it's spelt Dorcas, but…)

Er, no. The serious ones have church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, with Communion every time. (Though generally with grape juice vice wine, as alcohol is a sin.)

Sexy German Boy Issue!

Second prize, TWO dates!

Wrong denomination. (I doubt the FotF lot consider Catholics as Christians, even the ones who send them money.)

Seconded on the surprise factor. My sister and I both attended right-wing Christian schools, and that shit can go deep. (Lasted a lot longer in her case than in mine.)

Upvoted because I used to work in a toy store.

In all honesty, there's been a short story kicking around in my head for a decade about a gluten-allergic (as in fatal anaphylaxis) kid taking Communion regardless. I've never put it down on paper or pixels, because I still can't decide if that would be ultimate faith or ultimate sin (since he or she knows it would

She's been persona non grata with the evangelical crowd for a couple of decades now, for doing "secular" albums.
