Another example of Biblical mistranslation. The verse should read:

_"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son_\*'s nose\*\*."\*

Plus, they left out the part with the belt sander altogether.

Yeah, this one was kinda lame.

The only part I really liked is the colored picture used for the title. All it really needs is a caption. I vote for _“I gotta peeeee!!!”_

Well, not exactly, but thanks anyway!

I wonder if we need _The Jack Chick Code_…I’m getting a book idea.

What’s really interesting is that Chick, himself, is from California, and remarried an Asian woman after his first wife died.

Might this be subtle (well, as subtle as Jack is ever capable of being) self-loathing from Jacko?

Just a guess, but I’d WAG that it’s just the next to last lap. 15 laps is a not-uncommon length for sprint races on short tracks – these guys weren’t quite in the Nextel Cup yet, I’m thinking. NASCAR division III and IV are races commonly run for that length, and I think IMSA does it, too.

I have this mental image of a free-lance/moonlighting apprentice with two commissioned works-in-progress on the drawing board in front of him: a “Garfield” strip and a Chick tract…

I always get the wrong lesson from these things. It didn’t make me want to find Jesus. It made me want to find an Asian girlfriend. Kim IS dazzling!

Well, you see, when the tubby Hispanic guy was in the asylum, he heard this one guy talking about all these numbers, so when he got out he bought a lottery ticket with them, and then things started getting _really_ weird.

Looks like Jack is settling for petulance. _"Your marriage meant more to you than **my** sacrifice._"

What is that statue Kim Lee is lighting a candle too? Buddha on Casual Day?

Um, I think it was the Dale Earnhart (that’s who J.J. was supposed to be, right?) clone’s grandpa, not Jeff Gordon’s.

The “Eliminator” contemplates the Kid, after beating him out on points: “I’m **worried** about his soul, because he’s obviously a second-rate lah-HOOO-zer and he might fall into one them ‘fake’ religions out of desperation from being such a lah-HOOO-zer! Now where that’s race groupie with the harelip? I hear she sucks like a hoover.”
