Flying Spaghetti Monsterism

So I'm sitting in an easy chair at my Dad's place last night. It's late - almost midnight - and I'm watching a TiVo'd recording of the Storm beating up on the Lynx ... while drinking ESB and goofing around online.

So there I am, minding my own business, when I clicked a link and found myself staring at the Wikipedia entry for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I think this is about the funniest thing I've ever seen - on par with the Aqua Teens, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and So I Married An Axe Murderer.

I dunno. Maybe it was the time of day, maybe it was the beer, maybe I was just giddy from watching LJ kick some ass (one more victory and we're clinched for the playoffs). All I know is that I found myself laughing (quietly ... I mean, people were trying to sleep) at phrases like "His Noodly Appendage", "pastafarians," and "RA-men."

How can you beat this stuff?

It's been with me all day, too. It cracks me up!

There also exists a branch of FSM calling itself the Reformed Church of Alfredo, which anoints its members with various sauces according to the appropriate holy day.

As parodies go, this is just awesome. (And it's got pirates! And midgits [sic]!)

After all, who's to say the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn't behind it all?
