I’m assuming the Montana Logging and Ballet Company will be there to greet the Phelps clan?

Maybe they can don some pink tutu’s for the occasion and kick some ass.

Pink tutu’s heehee, wonder if they call 'em Desmonds?

**Satanists Against Abortion  
Because any conception could be The One**

On that note…

**God Hates My Shower Curtain**

Leviticus 13:51-52  
He (the priest) shall examine it on the seventh day, and if the mildew has spread, the object is unclean. The priest shall burn it, because it is a spreading mildew which must be destroyed by fire.

A joker cousin of mine has a fantastic photo of him standing next to a Phelpsian with a red T-shirt on that reads:
