Find the Easter Eggs Contest

Easter eggs are things that aren't in the original picture. They are carefully, or not so carefully, hidden right before your eyes. How many "eggs" are there in this photo? I'm not tellin'. As a bonus question, tell me from what movie this scene came from. Of course, as always, enlarging the picture will help a lot. Oh yeah, the first to get all the "eggs" wins a free Starbucks cup of coffee (your choice) at any Kuwait Starbucks at the Avenues Mall in Kuwait. The Avenues has eight Starbucks so far. All you have to do is fly here and collect your prize! It's just that simple!

Starbucks Ruckus

Nigel Pettibone seen here leaving a Starbuck's in Salmiya, Kuwait. He was told to leave after a commotion was started over the Coffee of the Day. It seems Mr. Pettibone refused to pay for a Cinnamon flavored Mocha Blend because he thought they were calling him "Sinner man". He's a little hard of hearing, y'know.

They Appear Everywhere

Fan Photo from Mimi Topeka

Dear Eddie,
I was visiting the Hank Locklin National Art Museum yesterday when I noticed this painting hanging on the wall. I couldn't believe my eyes! This ancient piece proves, beyond a doubt, that you stole the idea for T&G (Tulip and Grenade) from the 17th century painter, Cruton LaToya.
What do you have to say for yourself bozo!
Love,
Mimi Topeka

Dear Ms. Topeka,
You have got it backwards! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FORGERY! Grenades were not invented until centuries later! And word balloons, like the ones seen in the painting, are a product of twentieth century cartoonists! Besides, did you notice the Starbucks coffee cup on the floor? I know for a fact that Starbucks coffee shops were not seen until the 18th century!
If I were you, I would apologize to me for such baseless accusations, inform the head of the museum, and send me a hundred dollars. Hope to hear from you soon!
Eddie

Interview with Pug Dagitt - Emergent Church Leader

The Calvinistic Cartoon Blog Interview

1. Pug, What gives with the new look...why all the tattoos and piercings?

Pug: "I want to be all things to all men. This is my way of crossing all bridges at once in an attempt to win all. My tattoos have illustrated bits of conversations from many different "religious" leaders such as Ghandi, Morpheus, Johnny Appleseed...and, oh yeah, Jesus. My piercings witness to the fact that man suffers from low self-esteem and "Holy" dogma.

2. What is your method of preaching?

Pug: "I like to call it "Starbucks skyscraper sermons", let me explain...Imagine if Starbucks had an 86 floor skyscraper in Montego Bay. Now imagine U2's "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" being played by a sitar in the background. You get on the elevator with a candle and a copy of my latest book, "Why I Greet Men", ("greet men" is "emergent" spelled sideways)...anyway, if you have followed me so far, you know that a skyscaper is just one story stacked upon many other stories.
That's the way I roll.

3. Who are the biggest influences in your life as a leader?

Pug: "Jonah, of course, then there is Jose Feliciano, Alexander the Great, Barry Gibb, James Dean, and SpongeBob Squarepants.

4. What books have changed your life?

Pug: "Not sure I would say any books have changed my life. I have never thought about books in that light. It kind of sounds like the question from Junior High School, "what is your favorite song". (which is "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by the way) But maybe books have changed my life, there are so many that I recommend and love reading, I will give some time thinking of books in that way and see what comes to mind...wait a minute...I would like to mention "Doc Savage Man of Bronze in The Land of Terror" as one that made a impact on me at an early age."

5. What's your biggest challenge as a leader?

Pug: "TV Guide Crossword Puzzles. I can never complete one no matter how hard I try. Most of my sermon material comes from those that are published in the New York Times."

6. What goals do you have as a leader?

Pug: "My goals are simple. Try to maintain my sanity. In fact, I have a 'sanity clause' in my verbal contract here at Solomon's Balcony. You may not believe in a sanity clause but, try and tell that to all the children here around Christmas."

7. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Pug: "I hope to have my own movie company and a TV show, a situation comedy for sure. I have already written the pilot. It will be called, "Harry Tick and the Hinder-sons".

8. One last question. What does the WWJD on the back of your head stand for?

Pug: "What Would Jonah Do."

Thanks Pug for taking time for an interesting interview.
