fundies in the house. :(
My wife's sister and her husband are visiting. They're hardcore fundamentalists. At their wedding last summer, he stood up *at the reception* and preached for twenty minutes. A lot of his little talk had to do with how a woman should be subject to her husband. I know I said it before, but *this was at the reception.*

Now she's pregnant, of course. At least my wife and I will get to be the evil aunt and uncle. :evilgrin:

Anyway, they're here for a couple more days. They don't drink or curse, so I'm wondering what the hell we do with these people. Most of my spare time involves drinking and cursing! The brother-in-law sure likes violent movies, though. That always puzzles me about these extremist Christians. No sex or alcohol, but their god, watch them cheer over dead Iraqis!

Maybe I'll... um... get held up at work. For several days. :(

They already saw my "Massachusetts Liberal and Proud of It" bumper sticker. That was cool.

1. Wanna send him over the edge?
Take him to the mall and say "Jesus Christ, did you see the fuckin ass on that guy? Let's go get a drink!"

That ought to take care of ALL possible offenses. :evilgrin:

2. go to an adult novelty store and buy an anatomically correct blow up doll
bring it home. and sit it down at the dinner table.

tell them you make money from testing them and that's how you expect to help pay for neice/nephew's college tuition.

see what happens.

4. I resent that
"Fundy" is a derogatory, derisive, hateful term, and I demand that you use the proper word -- Pharisee.

--p!

9. Drives them nuts every time.
If they start to bitch about it, just do what we do: blandly reply that you like to listen to it to relax and that you play the radio 24/7.

Think of if for revenge for all the RW shit we have had to listen to pouring forth from the radio for decades.

8. go online
and download some good Hindu chants, Sufi zhikars, and Native American inipi songs. Play them incessantly. Explain to your fundy relatives that all are praising God. When he expresses incredulity, ask him if he thinks God's name is only spoken in English!

And then, just for fun, tell him the name of God in Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke) is "Allaha".
