  • I dunno.

    Are they free-range, hormone-free, cruelty-free, happy chicken eggs plucked straight from the velvet hen pillows in the henhouse?

    Or are they caged, crowded, dosed up with antibiotics, sad chicken eggs from chickens whose only pillow is a pile of guano?

  • Since LTP is our guest, how about we let her lead us in grace today?  LTP, the floor is yours.

  • Cali wants you to do grace . . .

     

     

     

     . . . whoever she is.

  • Well, i bought them at 7-11, but we'll tell her they're free-range Organic Emu eggs imported from the plains of Africa nestled in ivory boxes lines with 100% japanese silk. 

    Sucker.

  • My ex-boyfriend's family once made me lead them in grace. It was awky because in my house, we recite the "come, Lord Jesus," not one of those fancy off-the-cuff meal prayers. I fumbled around a lot and said something similar to Greg Focker's prayer in Meet the Parents.

    Love.  I am so happy IFC is airing the season now.  I burn a shrine for this and PD for tragically ignored works of art (plus, it seems like I am watching myself as a teenager when I see Lindsay).

  • My dad is a pastor and I grew up saying "Come, Lord Jesus" and "God is Great." We left the real praying to him.

    However, what I just said above is what my father (the pastor) said at my great-grandmother's (on my mom's side) 90th birthday party. One of my relatives asked him to "do grace" (they're very small-town PA) and so my dad gets up and says "They want me to do grace . . . whoever she is." I was MORTIFIED.

    The real question is do you say "let these THY gifts to us be blessed" or just "let these gifts to us be blessed"?  J's family does the "Come Lord Jesus" grace, but half of them do it one way and half do it the other and it was always super awky for any outsider to know what to say. 

    I mean, it obviously doesn't matter now, but I always thought it was weird.

  • One time my granny asked me to say grace and when I simply said "grace" before digging into the mashed potatoes, she was none too pleased.
  • Riddle me this...I say thy, my mom says these.

  • I only know "God is great."  I was a real slacker of a little Southern Baptist.

  • We never said grace, so I was completely unfamiliar with the whole procedure.  So when I was 3, and my cousin was saying grace, I started singing jingle bells.  My mom found it hysterical, but my uncle was PISSED.  I figured he was showing off something he knew, so I was gonna show off something I knew
  • MIL likes to say grace and I always forget and start eating.  the feel like an ass.

    If I ever find myself in this situation, I may do this.  Wait, perhaps I will teach Andy to do it.  It will be a little less disrespectful coming from him.

  • I'm currently trying to hold back a tantrum because it's pouring and I don't have an umbrella and I'm tired and dreading my hour and a half long public transportation commute and I still have an hour left to my day and I'm tired and drained.

    So I would very much like to go throw eggs at people.

    Hi LTP. I'm a big fan of your work.

  • My FIL insists on saying grace AND holding hands around the table, even while in restaurants.  So very awky.

  • I went to (Catholic) mass in New Orleans twice last weekend (cousin-in-law's wedding and before nephew's baptism), at two different churches.  Everyone joined hands during at least one prayer (the Our Father).  Is this common?  I've never been to a church that does it.

  • My knowledge of grace is limited to "rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub".

  • Yes, the Catholics hold hands during the Lord's Prayer. Some of them raise their arms during the last part. It's my least favorite part of mass if I'm on the aisle stuck next to someone I don't want to hold hands with.

    In all of my church-going years, we never held hands.  We would do the "greet your neighbor" thing and shake hands, but never while praying.  Perhaps I just went to a church where people didn't cross personal boundaries (but it was pretty much an Italian congregation, so that seems almost counter-intuitive).

    Interesting.  The Catholic church I attended growing up didn't do the forced handholding.

  • You'll hold hands and you'll like it. Amen.
