Leaping The Comb
30 07 2008Okay, so I saw this comment (in last post) from “Mandy” from Sweeping The Home:
Hay, I know we don’t have much in commen as I am a born again saved Christien and you are obveously a heathen headed for hell, but I totelly agree with you on you’re post! I homeschouled my self threw high school with a corespondance coarse that I sent for threw Glamor magazine, and now I’m home schouling my own children using the KJV Bible as our main textbook! Praise the Lord!
And sure, I was like wtf. Then I remembered Candy, and HER site “Keeping The Home“. If you’re not familiar, Candy has a big xtian website where she blogs like a lunatic and mostly hates catholics and everyone who isn’t exactly the same brand of moronic christian she is. The idiots in power at the Homeschool Blog Awards (no link provided) gave the twit an award and have her linked from their site, in spite of repeated requests by other Christians to remove it. But then again, what would one expect from a group who couldn’t run an honest awards program if their souls depended on it?
There are a couple of sites (maybe more) where the disinformation and hatred Candy spews is tempered with reason and logic. Here’s one. Here’s another that’s way more to the point.
It won’t be long before the assholes ladies of the HSBAs start spamming their latest contest. I will make my yearly plea that thinking homeschoolers refuse to participate. Here’s an alternative, honest contest going on - no prizes, but at least it’s fair.
Thanks for the laugh, Mandy.
EDITED For the confused:
Candy - Actual blogger, and catholic hater. Writes uber stupid christian blog - keeping the home. Candy, while claiming to be courted daily by MENSA, is a really poor speller.
Mandy - Candy Parody - sweeping the home. The bad spelling is part of the parody.
Elena - Writes “Visits with Candy” where she gently and logically refutes Candy’s silly anti Catholicism rhetoric. Elena’s spelling is fine.
CandyIsANutJob - Writes at “Candy is a liar and false prophet“, where they not so gently refute Candy’s anti Catholicism rhetoric. If the spelling isn’t always perfect, it’s okay, because they aren’t claiming to be MENSA members.
Super Unethical People who manage the Homeschool Blog Awards - you can google those “ladies” on your own.
Some of the comments below are ALSO parodies.
I hope this clears things up. However, the confusion is funny too. Just roll with it. Heh.
Wow I think this is definitely a case where “Mandy” and her children would be better off sending them to public school. Her blog is atrocious.
Tracy, I think Mandy’s blog is a spoof blog.
At least, it better be.
Mandy/Candy? This can’t be for real. It. Just. Can’t.
Thanks for the link Doc. Mandy is indeed a spoof blog!
And if you enjoy those - you’ll love this one!
Oh, those crazy Christians and spoof-Christians.
I see it all the time in certain groups I share with christian homeschoolers. Astranomy, insacts, ditermine… Granted that’s not everyone of them. But, to lump them together, listen to the “resources” for their creation science. It’s hard not to be slightly aggravated while I laugh.
Elena, the link right after the to your blog is for that exact site - it makes me ROFL, which I never actually write anywhere else. My biggest mistake is not visiting the site more often - the comments are hillarious.
Threw? threw? Is that like spew? It’s killing me. I am not the uptight English professor that my kindergarten teacher my hubby is but damn, I can’t take that. Threw? I can’t get past it enough to even read past it to what she was trying to say. Damn. And I may be totally non religious but isn’t Christian spelled with an -ian? Homescho-uled huh? Oh wait, I just looked at it again and realized that if I went though it and and spell checked it I would have a coronary. Ah, never mind, that chick is just a lost cause. At least the public didn’t waste their money in her in the public school system.
Ah, I see hukt own fonix wurkt four hur.
wtf? is that a real site?
doc, I like Candy and think she’s a woman of morals and I don’t know why you need to knock her; for shame!!! I will pray for you!!! Candy’s blog is down, which is upsetting to me as I am an AVID reader, so if you’re here reading, Candy, I wanted to comment to you about tight buns and all. Praise!
I read you EVERY DAY! And I Love ur blog!!!
But, I don’t use tapes! Praise the lord. The lord came to me and spoke very clearly and told me that I should not have anything in the house that pictures ladies in tight clothing, that His Creation was never meant to prance around half naked and make bun-firming exercises available to the masses–because firm buns seem to attract the WRONG KIND OF ATTENTION and the send out the wrong kind of message to others’–namely that we are focused on external appearances.
This is where we totally disagree, Candy–the lord NEVER meant for our buns to be so shapely that we would focus so intently upon them. Unlike a lot of Christian ladiez I have decided to allow mine to weep naturally in the way of the lord. Please understand, I don’t begrudge or judge you or anyone else for wanting firm buns–well honestly, I think it’s self centered and takes away from the worship we are to give Our Lord…BUT if you and all the other ladiez aren’t grieved by tight buns then GO FOR IT!!! LMBO.
It’s just that the one time I did attempt to strengthen my buns, the devil wedged so many thoughts into my mind that I nearly went insane.
I might be persuaded to try a workout if the music was 100% certified Christian made. I notice A LOT of Christian ladiez tend to forego godly judgment and let slip in music of the secular sort while they’re working out. Okay, let’s stop here: listen! In my opinion I think the devil then has a HUGE AND WIDE INROAD into our souls.
All I am saying, is give natural buns a chance - but if you need to look firm, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use caution.
Thanks for letting me share. Love the blog!
Candy/Keeping the Home is real.
Mandy/Sweeping the Home is just a little tongue in cheek. I may be downplaying the cheekiness.
OMG! I’m getting the real blogs mixed up with the parody blogs; I’m having trouble figuring out which are which!
wow, they both have way to much free time!
i have missed doing parody.
I was confused. I think I figured it out. Maybe I should direct Candy to my site, I’m sure it would give her a lot to talk about. What a dingbat.
You should do more of it, it’s great fun. As long as I’m not the target.
I get a little too obsessively into it, and then it gets unhealthy and I get tweaker-nutty. I have to treat it like sugar and only partake every now and then. It was fun today.
OMG! She should just go ahead and send her kids to school! The first thing I noticed was that she is obviously uneducated. She can’t even spell Christian for gods sake! Religious beliefs aside, that was all I noticed. And that she is obviously very rude!
Well Doc, I’m glad you got it, I knew you would. Thanks for the special mention.
Tiffany - I applaud your fervor but you’re in the wrong here. Firming one’s one butt is besides the point. The real sin here is Candy’s lustfulness. An extensive collection of exercise videos in which muscles and breasts and bulges bounce and throb and…And she’s viewing this every day while engaging in stimulating exertions…half-naked men and women. Sweating. Breathing heavily…
Excuse me. I need to go walk away some pounds.
I’m coming Leslie Sansome! I’m coming!
I have no idea what cuil is..But thank you!!! you turned me on the a website that shows me, step by step, how to wash diapers. NOW…> (comma) you may ask yourselve “doc? doc why would a single woman need to know about washing diapers?”
Let me explain!!!
I use the cloths to dip into holy water and bathe myselve and then another (CLEAN has to be CLEAN! DIAPER) to douce myself with oils. Yep, that simple. Since bathing in this way I’ve felt better, cleaner, purer or closer to a strange obsession with throwing myself down at full running speeds on to a slip and slide with the neighbors kids!!! who incidently are all at the diaper stage–their mom is my new bestest!!! Woo.
Thank you!!!!
This woman publishes and promotes writing by the Pearl’s. (scroll down the left side under Family and Motherhood, click on Back to Family) Please don’t give her the anymore publicity.
ha, i get it now! thank “god”, I was almost willing to “pray” for Mandy! still sad about Candy though! still, i feel a little stooopid.
