CHECK THIS OUT: Roommates and Tour

As I mentioned in my last blog, I took Dave and Ross, my roommates, on a praise and worship gig with me to Lakeside Baptist in Birmingham, AL last weekend (wow, that sentence has a lot of commas...are they all necessary?).

This is a shot of me leading, with Ross on the right playing bass and you can see part of Dave playing drums behind me.





And best of all, here’s a shot of all the youth there at the church....




We did try to play one game of dodge-ball with them after the service...we lasted maybe 45 seconds...

YOU TELL ME: Pranks and Irony

YOU TELL ME: Pranks and Irony

So my last blog listed a prank that a roommate pulled in my house....something simple and a bit funny. I was curious if you had any prank stories to share....

Well oddly enough, over the weekend I was the unfortunate victim of 2 more pranks...

First, you will notice that my profile picture is different....and certainly not me...

This was the dirty work of my roommates once again...

We were on tour together this weekend and at one point I left my laptop out where they could use it. When they opened to the log-in page of MySpace, my web browser “remembered” and “auto-filled” my password ...they logged on and uploaded the picture you see below as my profile picture....







Now this is funny but benign...

However, when we all arrived home from tour, we found that we had been pranked by the girl’s ministry house (a group of girls that live together with the same goals that we have....see my last blog for more info). They had broken into our house while we were out of town. Honestly, it is more of a humiliation than an inconvenience to have a someone break into your house like this. They hid our TV remote (though not well), stole our silverware, tied our shoelaces together (in our closets), set all of our clocks an hour forward, short-sheeted our beds, and taped the spray nozzle “on” by the sink so that when I turned on the sink I got sprayed.

It is odd that this comes right after my blog about pranks, but now that you are thinking about it, I want to hear any ideas you may have about how we can get them back.

There are 5 girls, and they live in a 2-story house a half-mile from us.

Remember, the best pranks are not the ones that are cruel or inconvenient, but the ones that humiliate those being pranked....the girls are really proud of their break-in, and the best way to get them back is to show them they are not as smart as they think they are...

So there you go, you tell me....what could we or should we do?

YOU TELL ME: Roommates

So the past few weeks a – well, let’s call it a “treasure” – has been floating around our house (we call our house “The Bink”....see www.fellowshipofthebink.blogspot.com).

It recently ended up in our refrigerator....and by “recently” I mean it has been there for a week. I’m not sure who’s it is, but I think his initials are D-A-V-E.

Here’s what I see every time I open the fridge....



A closer look.....




Yeah, it’s fake, but amazingly realistic.


So I am wondering, what stories do you have of friends, roommates, siblings, or even spouses doing quirky things or playing pranks?...put it in a comment below. I really want to know...
