Photo from the Green Bay Packer themed wedding of Amy Knicker and Jeremy Thrall on the St. Mary’s Springs football field in Fond du Lac, Saturday, Oct. 13, 2007.
It’s not that the idea of a Packer themed wedding is all that funny, I just find this photo of one of the groomsmen quite amusing with his sweet tights. Also the usher/referee is nice too.

Catholic Home and Garden is making its readership aware of Party City’s evil Halloween costumes this year and combats their nastiness with something a little more catholic.
“Why Catholic Children’s Costumes? Aside from the obvious Catholic reasons, we are absolutely horrified at the costumes that are being offered this season. Want to dress your little girl like a street walker or jail bait? Perhaps you’d like to encourage pedophilia. This company [Party City] has the solution. ”
Note: Something ironic about saying Party City’s are encouraging pedophilia. Just saying that there is a recent history in the Catholic church of this and you are going to send out kids dressed as little priests?
Here are a few of Party City’s offerings:
Catholic Home and Garden recommends these instead:
Saint John Neumann Catholic Costume Vestment Cassock - $85
Saint Theresa Complete Nun Habit Catholic Girls Costume - $85
A sweet email being passed around…
We had a “going away” party yesterday for a lady at our Little Rock claim office. One of the supervisors called a Wal-Mart and ordered the cake.
He told them to write: “Best Wishes Suzanne” and underneath that write “We will miss you”.
“NFL Helmet Cap keeps you warm and cozy as you root for your favorite team. Sporting official team colors and logos, it’s the ultimate fan helmet! You can attach the snap-on neck warmer and chin strap or wear “helmet” alone as a hat. Fleece cotton blend is machine washable. One size fits all adults.”
Let me just say, if you wear this, ever, then you deserve to be butted in the head with a real helmet. And you deserved to be punched in the face.
Only $29.98 from Harriet Carter. They just have 11 NFL helmet caps (all open air stadium teams in cold areas with the exception of Dallas).
Michael Vick has put his seven bedrooms mansion in Duluth, Georgia up for sale. With the Atlanta Falcons in the process of trying to recover $20 million in bonuses from the suspended quarterback after he plead guilty to federal dogfighting charges in August, Vick is reportedly seeking $4.5 million for the estate.
Why is this worthy of Festville? Well two photos, one is classy with a “7″ and the other is ironic to say the least.
Of all the things for Ron Mexico to leave on the porch, it’s a portable dog kennel.
South Korean sanitation activists will mark the launch of a global toilet association by lifting the lid on a lavatory-shaped home south of Seoul.
The steel, white concrete and glass house, with a symbolic opening in the roof, will be ready to receive visitors next month, said the World Toilet Association in a statement.
“Among its many amenities, the house features four deluxe toilets,” said the group, started in South Korea and dedicated to providing clean sanitation to the more than 2 billion people who live without toilets.
The home has a showcase bathroom located in its centre. Other toilets have features that range from elegant fittings to the latest in water conservation devices.
The toilet house was built by Sim Jae-duck, chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association to mark the association’s first general assembly in November.
The house is named Haewoojae, which signifies in Korean “a place of sanctuary where one can solve one’s worries“.
Let’s Go CRAAAAAAAAZY!!!! Focus on Leslie, nothing else.
Alex Legion is freshman on the University of Kentucky basketball team. His mother, Annette Legion, is a prophetess and evangelist. Divine intervention brought him to UK from Michigan, a college he had not been considering. “I had no clue Kentucky was a basketball school. No clue,” Annette Legion said. “But God knew.”
When asked about God’s interest in her son, she quietly, almost as an aside, made a startling claim. “Me being a prophet, he has truly ordered my son’s steps,” she said matter-of-factly.
About six years ago, she was ordained by Bishop Milton L. Jackson at the New Beginnings church in the suburban Detroit town of Inkster, Mich.
When her son was considering UK, Legion learned that Bishop Jackson had moved to Lexington to lead the Church of God in Jesus’ Name, which is affiliated with Apostolic Fire International Inc. After Jackson’s death, his wife, Ann, became the pastor.
Legion, 50, saw this as a sign from God. She allowed her son to sign with UK, quit her job as a basketball coach and security officer at a Detroit area private school and moved to Lexington in August. She lives with Pastor Ann Jackson and works as an evangelist for the church on Georgetown Street, where she passes out fliers and works to increase the membership.
The church draws about 25 regular parishioners, but Legion envisions long lines of people at the door.
Legion wears the Oak Hill Academy national championship ring awarded to her son.
She can sound like a Jedi master from the Star Wars movies, her smooth and confident tone drawing the unsure into alignment with her will. A former professional basketball player in Belgium, her stature — 6 feet, 200 pounds — accentuates her air of authority.
“I thought I was bold,” Jackson said with a chuckle, “and I am bold.”
The Church of God in Jesus’ Name held a Miracle Revival in late August. Legion served several complementary roles, ushering attendees to their pews and assisting the guest speaker from Northridge, Calif., prophet Dion Mason, who preached a message of brotherhood. Mason noted the “demonic stronghold” on Lexington, which he said worships the false idols of horse racing, basketball, football and alcohol.
With Alex Legion playing basketball for UK, this might cause a theological conflict of interest.
“We’re praying he doesn’t get detoured by fame and fortune,” Pastor Jackson said.
“The Lord has shown me: They’re going to the Final Four,” she said, before adding a qualifier, “providing they play together.”
Was this a prophecy? A prediction? Merely wishful thinking?
“I have spoken these things into existence,” she said. “It’s not by accident that my son is here and now the Final Four is in Michigan.”

Carrie A. Tuggle Elementary school is part of the Birmingham City School system. It is located just NW of the I-65 and I-20/59 junction. Tuggle lived an exemplarily life. You can read about her here. Her life is not the focus of this post, but rather her grave.
It is located alongside an elementary school named in her honor. It’s really not that often that you get to go to school with a grave just outside of the school. Mrs. Tuggle died in 1924 and the city did not obtain the school until 1934 and renamed in her honor in 1936. So is it safe to say that Mrs. Tuggle was exhumed and reburied at the school? I think so.
All is not so sad at Tuggle Elementary. The kids do have a colorful U.S. state map to look at in addition to the grave.
