Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!

The next several blog posts will don the titles of Megadeth albums as I relate Mr. Mustaine's metal mastery and mayhem into biblical points concerning the people and experiences in my life.

I'm a big metal head that still can't go too long without a little Mechanix from time to time. Since the current state of spiritual music brutally irks me (even the heavy types frantically attempting to be culturally relevant), I have resorted mostly to classical/symphonic music to pacify my soul.

This post is neither a lesson in metal music nor biblical instruction. Rather a funny foray into some interesting time wasters that came to mind while pondering "Killing Is My Business ..."

As much as Megadeth is poking at the apocalyptic procedures that our government has taken over the years to spread democracy, it also sheds a light on the converse of killing: love. My father-in-law always says "kill em with kindness." Turns out he was talking about the way he takes an exotic out with his high powered rifle! Just kidding.

It was either hunting (as the season is upon us) or cartoons. Fictional characters trying to save the world from evil or the occasional suburbanite holding back from slaughtering the pimples working the drive thru seemed more fun! And one glam rocker that should be shot ... maybe by a hunter. Hey Robert? Got your gun? Please put Joe Elliot out of his misery!

Just enjoy these videos and sop up the Manna at the end of the post ...

How Superman Should Have Ended



Trapped in the Drive-Thru



This was the proverbial slow-motion car crash; like on "The Price is Right," when a contestant is about to put the $199 price tag on the tube of toothpaste and the crowd simultaneously shrieks "NO! NO!"



Daily Manna from the 'Net for Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:22-27 NIV | Listen
