[Stellar]

2. plural...LOL!

[Go Vols]

5. lol

[pinboy3niner]

3. Maybe he's just taking a knee and praying

[840high]

8. Nothing wrong with praying - I am Catholic

and my knees are shot to hell from all the kneeling.

[pinboy3niner]

12. The Irish priests at Our Lady of Peace were so cool...

...that I briefly toyed with the idea of that vocation. But then I wised up and went to Vietnam as an Army draftee.

When I was medevac'd to a stateside Army hospital and they asked me what religion to put on my bed card, I said "None."

[840high]

16. In my pre-teen years I wanted

to be nun. Then I got to like boys.

[pinboy3niner]

18. So you traded one bad habit for another

[840high]

21. Cute. Absolutely and happily.

[tblue37]

24. Remember "Young Frankenstein"?--"Filthy habit." nt

[dflprincess]

20. Didn't we all?

Especially after seeing Audrey Hepburn in the "Nun's Story".

But like most, I reached a point where I hoped if God decided to "call me to vocation", I wouldn't be home when the phone rang...no answering machines in those days.

[calimary]

26. I went to Catholic school, too. And in 5th grade, ALL of us wanted to be nuns.

That didn't last long.



I think one reason why you go to Catholic school is ... to generate material!

[tblue37]

23. They thought you said "nun," so when you woke up from the pain meds,

you found yourself in a convent, wearing a black habit.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Do you advertise scripture verses under your eyes?

[840high]

15. Only on Mondays.

[pinboy3niner]

19. I only advertise bags

[sarae]

4. Oh NO! I was so looking forward to it.

[rurallib]

6. Surely Trump was looking forward to that tbow in his direction

[exboyfil]

7. He was listed as a speaker

Did he agree and back out, or did someone screw up?

Cheap Trick was hired under false pretenses. I would like to know the back story on this one.

[wheniwasincongress]

9. me too

in his video, Tebow said he woke up to find he was a speaker. Sounds like he never agreed in the firs place

[exboyfil]

10. Now that is funny

Worth an ad I think.

[yardwork]

11. I wonder how many others were signed up without their knowledge or agreement.

[BlueMTexpat]

31. Here's another source:

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/14/tim-tebow-dumps-trumps-convention-speaking-republicans-cleveland.html

Apparently he was never even asked ... was surprised to find out that he was on the speakers' list.

13. Hallelujah, there is a God, this is proof.

[yallerdawg]

17. This guy always amazes me!

I only wish I had that kind of faith in any damn thing!

You are a good guy, Tim Tebow.

And I bleed Crimson Tide red - trust me, it took years to appreciate him!

[underpants]

37. He really is a good guy. This made no sense from his professional standpoint

Not playing football but as an announcer. He doesn't need to latch on to any political party. Making a stand FOR something? Sure.

[Blaukraut]

22. Okay. Kill me now, but I'm starting to ALMOST feel sorry for Trump

His who is who list happens to be who is NOT appearing at his shin dig.

[DawgHouse]

25. I'm glad to hear that he's not and never was booked to speak.

[raven mad]

27. Heck, when even Palin is jumping ship............

I think the GOP Titanic is really going to hit the iceberg.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. They probably told Palin it would be a cash bar.

[raven mad]

30. Oh, heck yeah - don't go anywhere NEAR Wasilla.

Especially if you're having a picnic with free booze..............

[BlueMTexpat]

32. Sarah wanted the Veep slot and

is PO'd not to get it. http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2016/07/sarah-palin-refuses-to-attend-gop-convention-after-vp-snub-by-donald-trump-001015151.html

Trump, however, is sticking to a DUzy-worthy rationale.

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/14/trump-offers-jaw-droppingly-dumb-reason-sarah-palin-invited-gop-convention.html

Donald Trump is claiming that he didn’t invite Sarah Palin to the Republican convention because Alaska is too far away from Cleveland, Ohio.

[raven mad]

33. The best pouter I've ever met (and yeah, did, in person, and told her there was no way........)

LOL! Tanana Valley Fair, before she was selected to "join" McCain.

Prior to that, before Guv, the Golden Days Parade, where her nasty frigging son was bullying a group of anti-Palin Alaska Natives in front of the Co-Op on 2nd Avenue...................

[BlueMTexpat]

34. Oh, so

fortunate you must consider yourself to be! Did you also meet her thug family?

Were you so unfortunate as to live in AK while she was Guv? Yikes!!

[raven mad]

35. Gads, BlueMTexpat - every one of them.

I keep thinking of the Duggars every time.............. And yeah, I was here. Her thug son got in my face when I was cheering for Tony Knowles. I really did think about landing one right between his legs, but heck - we were at a parade, so I restrained myself.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. You are a MUCH better

person than I. I might not have had the forbearance!

Your current Guv has got to be an improvement. But then, Sarah set a pretty low bar.

[raven mad]

39. Sweetie, it was right in front of the downtown police station.........

Not that our local cops wouldn't have joined me - they're blue in EVERY way that matters!

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Is Clint Eastwood's chair available?

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. He still thinks he might have a career, and needs to protect his reputation

I have to leave this here, from Charles Pierce:

And Tim Tebow will throw out some ideas, none of which will connect with their intended audience.

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a46691/republican-convention-speakers/

[brettdale]

40. Tim Tebow is a republican?

I know he is religious, but surly that wouldnt automatically make him a republican?

Also I read he is married to a women?

Was Tim bought up to, uhm how can I put this, supress his true feelings, because he
thinks they're wrong.

[trumad]

41. He is not married---claims to be a Virgin...

and is a huge spokesman for the anti-abortion crowd.

[pstokely]

43. Isn't he little old to be an unmarried fundie?

they typically marry young, explains the high divorce rate of the bible belt

[muriel_volestrangler]

45. They're trying to get him to run for Congress in Florida:

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a44035/tim-tebow-might-run-for-congress/

Correction - 'were' trying. Candidates had to file by June 24th, and he didn't: https://ballotpedia.org/Florida%27s_4th_Congressional_District_election,_2016

[trumad]

42. Love it

[Barack_America]

44. Direct order from Jesus, no doubt.
