I used to think canonized meant they shot you out of a cannon

[JohnKleeb]

:shrug:

[MADem]

Wow, with sufficient detonation....

...you'd end up with quite a few saintly relics that way...!

[ET Awful]

1. Well, the Simpsons DID portray it that way once, Homer was king

and had Ned cannonized :)

[JohnKleeb]

3. I have a lot of memories of thinking the absurd

like I thought genes were like jeans at one time.

[catbert836]

2. That's got SIMPSONS written all over it

Was that the episode on tonite? I was gonna watch, but missed it.

[JohnKleeb]

4. sort of

They're at a French Canadian Circus and Lisa is like "As French Canadians, they don't believe in exploiting animals" and Homer is like "Ahh I wanted to see them shoot a gorilla out of a cannon"

[Taverner]

14. There is another one

History ep, where Homer is King Henry VIII and he "Cannonizes" Flanders by shooting him out of a cannon.

5. i used to think getting stuff martinized was keeping martin really busy

in the back of the drycleaner!

[laruemtt]

6. i thought it was getting drunk via martinis.

[bettyellen]

[JohnKleeb]

[matt819]

[JohnKleeb]

17. Gimme some time to think

Oh yeah, you remember the bearded guy with the shovel in the original home alone?, the scary old guy, I always thought he had an uncanny resemblance to our 19th president, Rutherford B. Hayes.

[bigwillq]

20. Jeez-never put that connection 2-gether

Wow, Kleeb, your brain is just amazing!;-)

[JohnKleeb]

21. even more freaky if you consider I was 6 doing that

I knew all the presidents when I was 5.

[bigwillq]

23. Wo-We're you that kid that was on "Funniest home videos"

that could name all of the prez?

[JohnKleeb]

24. No

I also knew all their women too heh, well not their mistresses.

[bigwillq]

25. Have you seen that one-"Funniet home videos"

with that kid?

Man, I secretly wished it was you.

[JohnKleeb]

26. No, I didn't but I did watch that show as a kid

Oh you want another funny thought thingie by me, I remembered one. You know Bob Dylan's song, Everyone Must Get Stoned, I thought it was about getting stoned you know with a stone :).

[JVS]

16. Had you been eating paint chips or something?

[JohnKleeb]

18. I was 6

[JVS]

19. Just answer the question please

[JohnKleeb]

22. nope, I didnt eat paint chips

[LDS Jock]

27. how and when did you figure out the real meaning?

today? is that how this thread came about?

[JohnKleeb]

28. no I saw a simpsons episode today

Homer laments, "I wanted to see them shoot a gorilla out of a cannon.", alot of religious threads on the boards lately, and someone brought up canonization, and I thought about this.

[terrya]

29. Too bad Mother Teresa isn't around for that....

She's on the fast path to canonization. JP II wants it very badly...

That might have made an interesting sight. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

30. I'd rather they cannonized the nun who beat up my dad

Take that mother superior!.
