Meme time!  Spotted this over at Paul Frankenstein's site.  As Andrew Wheeler puts it:

Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

Here’s what I want you to do:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.

It should really specify that the Krispy Kreme doughnut be eaten fresh off the line. It's just not the same, otherwise.

[Vidiot]

Oh, totally. A regular Krispy Kreme is okay, but a hot one is celestial.

[Valerie]

I am happy to say, I have tried many things on this list.

I agree with Josh about how Jesus would vary the ways to say the same message not only kept plopee interested, but it also allowed his message to be understood by more plopee. Since plopee process information differently, they may have heard the message before never really got it. This happened to me on new years weekend at our church. I was presenting the communion and had given a message talking about the Patriots going for a perfect season, which then transitioned into the fact that there has only ever been one Perfect person on the earth, namely Jesus. After the message the group took the elements and most left,but one woman was waiting for prayer and weeping. When I spoke with her, she told me that she had been a christian for many years and had participated in communion countless times, but that night was the first time she realized that the bread represented Christ's body and the the juice his blood.
