Okay, that preacher's NASCAR prayer was kind of funny

[Syrinx]

Thanking God for his the cars and his "smoking hot wife." Pretty funny.

But is this guy really 35 years old?

I"m considerably older than that, but he looks a hell of a lot older than the age I am.

Is this for real? He's really 35 years old?



I don't fault any man for praising his wife as "smoking hot." So I won't argue that point. But he's 35 years old? Really?

Family Baptist Church Pastor Joe Nelms (back), 35, of Lebanon, Tennessee, his wife Lisa, 34, and their children Eli, 8, and Emma, 6, are pictured in this 2011 Easter photograph released to Reuters on July 25, 2011. Nelms, pastor of Family Baptist Church in nearby Lebanon, Tennessee, borrowed a little bit from the film "Talladega Nights" and also from NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip in his prayer before the weekend race.

2. yep. a well-done tribute and parody. If you thought the prayer funny

you will find the movie hilarious.

3. He looks like the expression "rode hard, put up wet" -

and what's up with that boggity stuff at the end of his invocation?

8. "Rode hard...etc." may well be my favorite descriptive phrase.

And the more I see, the more useful it becomes..

6. He got that "smokin hot wife" line from a movie.

7. I admit that this prayer was the only one I would ever want to be subjected to.

I thought it was funny too. And it seemed that everyone there agreed, he had them cracking up.

9. If you take your religion too seriously....

....that is when it ruins you. That is why I love my old Catholic Women. They are naughty and just awesome. There is no dirty joke like the dirty joke out of the mouth of an old Catholic Lady. LOL
