Calvinistic Cartoons Theme Song by Persis

Play the above if you don't know the tune.

Here are the lyrics to the CC theme song:

Hey all you baby boomers
In desperate need of humor
This isn't just a rumor
Read Calvinist Cartoons

Theology, Cool graphics
In one neat tidy package
You'll laugh and get a side stitch
At Calvinist Cartoons

Fun!
Puns!
Bar none!

So join Corky Velveeta
He'll be so glad, I tells ya
Come on you gals and fellas
Read Calvinist Cartoons!

CC Theme Song

Calvinistic Cartoons needs a TV theme song that can be sung to the tune of an old TV theme song. The chosen one will have the theme posted separately next month. I would like to post the original theme song from YouTube along side the new CC theme so everyone will be familiar with the tune. This doesn't have to be lengthy - just have fun with it. (think of the old TV shows like Patty Duke, Maverick, Huckleberry Hound, etc.)

Post-Modern Meaning

A lot of you may remember the old Dick Van Dyke show on CBS. Those who watched it, loved it. It was one of the greats. You can still view entire episodes on YouTube and other places on the internet.

I found the lyrics, the other day, written by the comic genius, Morey Amsterdam. It struck me as I read them that many churches today could use these words as their theme. I can just see Joel Osteen or Ed Young Jr. walking out on stage and tripping. What a laugh that would bring to their congregations.

What do you think?

THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW THEME SONG

(Music by Earle Hagen / Lyrics by Morey Amsterdam)

So you think that you've got troubles?

Well, trouble's a bubble,

So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!"

.

Why not hold your head up high and,

Stop cryin', start tryin',

And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.

When you find the joy of livin'

Is lovin' and givin'

You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.

A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down,

So smile, and that frown will defrost.

And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!

Forgotten Cults #10

Jed Dye

This crooked cult leader started "The Church of Silence" in the early 50's and had his own television broadcast for six silent months. He would stare into the cameras and try to communicate by "mental waves of glory". He never spoke, nor did his 76 member congregation. It seems he never wanted to be misquoted. Everything preached, taught or communicated was through writing on blank music paper.

When Jed Dye was growing up in Noisey, Idaho, he was known as the still-life of the party. He was voted "The Man Most Worthy of Listening To" by the Toastmasters of Sonic Boom, Nevada in 1956.

Jed believed that "religion should be seen and not heard." Each member took a vow of silence to join the church. A vow that lasted 23 hours of each day. The only hour acceptable was the midnight hour. Jed Dye was also known as "Silent Knight".

Some of his beliefs were written on the walls of his church in Cattle Call, Indiana. Here are a few of his doctrines:

• 
  
  Silence is Heaven calling.
• 
  
  We need to be men and women of letters.
• 
  
  Be careful to entertain mimes. For many are angels in disguise.
• 
  
  Live for the moment - and let that moment be a moment of silence.
• 
  
  You have a right to remain silent!
• 
  
  Shut up and practice telepathy daily.
• 
  
  Even hiccups should be done in silence.
• 
  
  The church of silence is the only church in Heaven
• 
  
  Silent movies are sacred.
• 
  
  Silent auctions are too.
• 
  
  Homes should be equipped with silent alarms.
• 
  
  Racquet ball is of the devil.

Jed Dye was eternally silenced, when lightning struck him as he left the theater where "Run Silent Run Deep" was playing. His assistant pastor, Ken Tawk, broke his vow and sang "Twist and Shout" as the yellow coffin was lowered into the ground. In an interview with the local NBC (Nothing But Cults) station in Chatterville, West Virginia, Mr. Tawk said, "Silence isn't always golden, sometimes it's just plain yellow!" Then he jumped out a thirty story window and crashed through the roof of an eighteen-wheeler loaded with Pop Rocks. He was never heard from again.

Guess Who? #4

The man on the right, in the white hat and chaps is the one you will need to identify. Feel free to throw in a caption or two if you like. Here is your clue: This man attempted to showcase his versatility, by singing on the Tony Bennett television show years ago. That was really a lousy clue (but true) so I will give you one more: He was in the movie, Samson and Delilah. If you think it will help, try to imagine him with a beard.

Thanks my LOST friend for taking this photo while in Hawaii a few weeks ago. Pictured is Josh Holloway, the actor who plays Sawyer on the TV series LOST.
It's good to see he is reading something worthwhile. If you have any more photos that tie into Calvinisitic Cartoons in some way send 'em on! I will be sending you a check for $5,000.02 for your trouble. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!
