Cars and Pasta

A quote from my husband: I think if Jeep is going to name a car the Rubicon, they should have another called the Styx.

Many years ago, my (blogless) friend Karen told my husband - who liked to dabble under the hood of my little Ford, and who still likes to cook - that he should open a car repair shop with restaurant, and call it Carbonara.

A quote from my child: God is a piece of macaroni.

And speaking of which, yes, I did finally put the Flying Spaghetti Monster on my car, albeit a little crookedly:

And my word verification is "pastrati"! Which is close to a noodle. But not as holy.

the FSM would just look weird if it was all lined up, step-marching with the car logo. don't you think?

I do love the image of God as macaroni. If it's good enough for Yankee Doodle...

I don't have a Flying Spaghetti Monster and NOW I'm feeling a little bereft. :)

You drive a Mini Cooper S? In red? That's a lovely car.

Love your car, the FSM, and the quote from your daughter

Ha! Bibliomama -that was a good one :)

This post seems to tie the mysteries of religion and the universe all together. Of course the answer to it all is PASTA.

So did M. say that because of the FSM? Either way, I like it.

I need an FSM for my Toyota. I need it.

I'll bite. Why is God a piece of macaroni?
