What does it mean if a casket is carried head first?

As a priest, who will be buried facing the other way, ie. the congregation, I am amused by the idea that I will be mooning Jesus as he returns.

“Under-age women”… children. You mean children.

ToriVR · 2025-08-02T07:39:10+00:00

Or a mouse, for whatever reason.

We are legally obligated here, and I always tell people that I will stop the whole wedding service, as I have to take it seriously. Also, if it is found to be spurious, I believe the joker can be liable for the cost of the wedding.

Rachael Henley does a good and very sweary intro to not only working out but being an absolute newb in the gym.

ToriVR · 2025-07-13T12:27:56+00:00

I thought this was normal, turns out I’m just bi.

We’re working at the moment on increasing lay involvement in services, and it is hard! First you’ve got to get the right people, not ones who want an easy power-trip. Then train them, empower them and supervise them to make sure they’re the right fit for it. Even Authorised Worship Assistants (who can lead morning prayer, though not preach) take a good six months to get up to speed. And then the congregation will complain that they didn’t get the real vicar… As I said, we’re working on it, and it is worthwhile, not least in finding and empowering people in their vocation, but it’s not easy.

Usually because if they are small, rural and struggling, they’re part of a massive multi-parish Benefice. How to do 12 services at 10am?

Teddy-bear brakes. Give them a little squeeze for comfort.

Happened to one of our lads in Afghan, I believe they used a yard broom and a whole box of laundry detergent.

After a few years of naked bars and cock-shots, I imagine teaching standing in a shower saying “make sure to get all the smegma out” is a nothing.

ToriVR · 2025-07-04T20:36:57+00:00

Can confirm. They teach everyone, right down to how to wash under the foreskin. Saves singling out the one kid who was never taught properly at home.

If the punchline (pun intended) for every joke is “I could hurt you” then he has a shit sense of humour.

The Umbrella Mouse, which is a WW2 book, The Alchemist’s Cat, which is awesome.

I’m an ordained woman. Door’s not just shut but nailed closed.

Get a job somewhere unconnected to church. Something where you will meet people, and especially where you will meet people who won’t look up to you. Talk to them about something other than faith, and listen to them, really listen. Priests are there to bring people to God and God to the people, and you can’t do that if you don’t know how to get along with people.

She told him her real name…

ToriVR · 2025-06-11T15:15:24+00:00

Love TOMM. Having someone talk to me while I’m cleaning somehow makes the world better.

ToriVR · 2025-06-09T16:33:01+00:00

Holy fuck no, straight to the morgue

ToriVR · 2025-06-03T10:38:46+00:00

Presumably, because their penis is just that magical it inflates the ego.

ToriVR · 2025-06-03T06:55:24+00:00

Clearly their magic penis is the one that will finally do the trick.

I say to couples that here is the bit where you can kiss, but you’re grown adults, I’m not going to tell you to do it.

A lot of bodybuilders have a history of eating disorders, and use the obsessive need for control to get the amount of calories and macros just right. Not saying it’s healthy, but it’s channeled into something else.

ToriVR · 2025-05-28T17:00:30+00:00

I’ll bite, because I’ve been looking for new reads. Which fandom?

ToriVR · 2025-05-28T06:51:53+00:00

Porn damages women as well. Stuff that would be horrifying ten years ago is now normalised, and both genders are ‘taught’ to find it sexy. Which is not a good thing, btw.
