Wishing this happened in the US. Seems like an easy one for the ACLU to argue that deciding someone's "sincerely-held beliefs" are not a protected religion flies in the face of the establishment clause.

Had to be a Canadian. Fred Eaglesmith, a Canadian singer songwriter used to have a percussionist who played a colander on his head, as well as a washboard on his chest, pie tins on his thighs, and spoons.

My 1st ex-wife was " Pasta Agressive " she would undercook the pasta to fuckup my digestion

Fred played unplugged/solo at my buddies farm so there was no percussionist, Fred is kind of ornery

A Canadian man who practices the “Pastafarian” religion lost his driver’s license last week, and is being required to take a religious spaghetti strainer off of his head before he can get a new one.

that's fuckin' awesome

he has to remove the strainer before he can get a new strainer

I don't know why he chooses that Oversized Diaphragm when he has so many other choices that surely won't offend the good folks issuing driver's licenses.

[buttahflake]

the fact that there is a canadian singer/songwriter named, Fred Eaglesmith, makes me hate that stoopid fucking country, even more!
fuck you, Fred Eaglesmith, i wonder if he has a brother named Gary or maybe Doug.
fucking canada sux.

[iscariot]

Replace the word colander with cross or turban or yamaka or magic under wear or sacred dagger and everyone would be up in arms.

Good for the goose, good for the gander and all that.

Fuck religious dogma. Go Pastafari!

Apparently Creaky thinks its awesome that the guy has to remove his colander. So that was for him.

Fred's back up band is the "Flathead Noodlers" which probably explains the drummer with the colander on his head

I must have read the tone of your post wrong when you wrote...

...

Given your previous rants about ...well...everything, I figured the above meant that you were happy that he had to take off the colander. Thanks for clarifying.

Flying Spaghetti Monster

Use in religious disputes

Due to its popularity and media exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is often used as a modern version of Russell's teapot.[77][78] Proponents argue that, since the existence of the invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster—similar to other proposed supernatural beings—cannot be falsified, it demonstrates that the burden of proof rests on those who affirm the existence of such beings. Richard Dawkins explains, "The onus is on somebody who says, I want to believe in God, Flying Spaghetti Monster, fairies, or whatever it is. It is not up to us to disprove it."[77] Furthermore, according to Lance Gharavi, an editor of The Journal of Religion and Theater, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is "ultimately...an argument about the arbitrariness of holding any one view of creation", since any one view is equally as plausible as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.[5] A similar argument was discussed in the books The God Delusion and The Atheist Delusion.[79][80][81]

impossible, nobody ever layers their own ideas onto someone else's post

1) see above
2) the clarification needs further work apparently, you left out the part that showed what I was talking about, it was the writing not the thing written about
3) in any case I'm sure you're quite welcome for the clarification and I provide the extra clarity in (2) gratis, no vig

Dude - it's Canada. If not a brother he at the very least has a cousin named Gord.

But funny as hell.
While we're not on the subject, can a Canadian play Americana? I mean, it's North America and all, but how do Canadians feel about it? Or is it Canadiana?
And on the subject of Canadian music--
