Offbeat: The most believable congregation in history doesn’t congregate

  • The Calvary Nudist Baptist Church isn’t real. Mark Johnson, how could you lie to us! Your referencing of biblical passages to promote the idea of free-flowing nudity in church services was funny, and we believed it was real (in the way that one believes the tooth fairy is real). So, Tyler, Texas, your claim to fame remains … being known as the “Rose Capital of America.” But you could have been so much more … naked. (Thanks to Darren Benson for the protip.) source

Culture: Miss Piggy’s out: Lady Gaga’s Kermit fetish goes to extremes

Lady Gaga decked out in a Kermit suit for no particular reason
  • If we were Miss Piggy, we’d probably be putting on our poker faces right about now and kicking some butt. Lady Gaga, everyone’s favorite modern pop oddity, showed up at the Video Music Awards with an already-taken frog, Kermit. And more power to him, too: Gaga’s pretty hot for a possible hermaphrodite.source

Offbeat: Catstravaganza’s last, but not least: A cat sitting in the sink

Aww, kitty clogged the drain
  • We’ve seen so many cat photos today that our brain is about to explode with cuteness. But we had to do it. It was for the common good of society. This last photo comes from Nicole Bogdas. It’s of Dillinger, one of many gangster-themed cats she named in her e-mail. You’ve got all the makings of a crazy cat lady, Nicole!source

Offbeat: Catstravaganza: Our girlfriend is a cat. No, really, guys.

Yeah, she can be part of the 09/09/09 catstravaganza, too, in part because if we didn’t, we’d be in the doghouse. And that’s not where we want to be.
