Birth of a Religion, Yummier Than Before!

How does a religion come into being? Well, in this day and age, maybe by instant message between two friends, late at night, while surfing the internet for interesting stuff…

Here's the recipe for Hess and Neece's (aka Fruitloop) Religion:

serves: Humanity

2: godless heathens

1: internets (can substitute 1 intertoobs, 1 webbernets or 1 ripe interwebs)

1: news article detailing wacky fundamentalist training camp

Chat and let simmer for 3-4 hours (cooking times vary in high altitudes)

Let cool then cut into squares.

Hessenroots: " TheCall Institute exists to equip, disciple and commission an emerging generation of radical Nazirites to prepare the way of the Lord by embracing a lifestyle of prayer and fasting that is energized by intimacy with Jesus. " http://www.thecall.com/

Fruitloop: oh jesus. That’s rather scary.

Hessenroots: yeah, no pun taken.

Fruitloop: :P pun intended

Hessenroots: "International House of Prayer University" abbreviates itself IHOP! http://www.ihop.org/

Fruitloop: ROFL!!!!

Hessenroots: I do love me some pancakes

Fruitloop: I love their crepes. I sing hallelujah every time I go in there :P

Hessenroots: anyway, sorry...this is just too amusing/scary for me to stop reading. The name of their campus - " IHOP Missions Base"

Fruitloop: oh jeez

Hessenroots: strategic pancake operations in a secret underground bunker!

Fruitloop: it's the french toast underground!

Hessenroots: it's the yummiest revolution ever!

Fruitloop: REAL syrup too!

Hessenroots: *gasp*

Fruitloop: hee hee

Hessenroots: with powdered sugar, cinnamon and fresh maple syrup I may be lured to the other side....

Fruitloop: yes. me too. I'm feeling my atheism weaken at my beltline! Where is this IHOP? oh, I Googled it. I was hoping you were joking :(

Hessenroots: TheCall Institute
c/o the International House of Prayer University
12444 Grandview Rd
Grandview, MO 64030
(816) 763-3070 x7150

Fruitloop: oh my... does it come with BACON? because if it comes with bacon, I’m switching

Hessenroots: it doesn't say... crispy bacon and I'm there

Fruitloop: oh.. oh.. this is devastating

Hessenroots: that’s what they need...forget those tasteless communion wafers and disgusting wine. French toast, crispy bacon

Fruitloop: no kidding!

Hessenroots: christ could be so much more delicious!

Fruitloop: WOW.. we could start something here!

Hessenroots: hmmm

Fruitloop: you are onto something.. BIG….

Hessenroots: I could be

Fruitloop: Something….. DELICIOUS!

Hessenroots: now I’m curious if IHOP is a registered trademark

Fruitloop: hee hee...

Hessenroots: thousands of people already gather for pancakes every morning...it's a head start

Fruitloop: yes. The cult of the warm syrup

Hessenroots: hmmm

Fruitloop: the breakfast place I go to heats the syrup up for you

Hessenroots: as they should. Well, I suppose our Breakfasty Savior wouldn't care what syrup it is. As long as there is syrup, and it's warm

Fruitloop: wow. Yeah.. he might be flexible as to brand and such. As long as it's real too.

Hessenroots: though, there might be a splinter group that misinterprets the teachings and believes that only pure maple is the true path. And people would bicker about how they like their bacon cooked

Fruitloop: yes. True. I like mine soft. Already there are factions!

Hessenroots: and I like mine crispy

Fruitloop: oh no! We're doomed

Hessenroots: hey, jihad on you! CRISPY is the only true path...your limp bacon is a fallacy in the eyes of our

Delicious Savior!

Fruitloop: HA No.. crispy is a cry for help.

Hessenroots: pshaw!

Fruitloop: soft is the true choice of the lord of IHOP

Hessenroots: instead of hail marys do we eat waffles and pray?

Fruitloop: I think we count sugar packets and refill the ketchups and pray

Hessenroots: ooooo, ok

Fruitloop: see, you really should know this stuff, if you're to be a Grand High Muckety Muck

Hessenroots: I think we can unify the factions

Fruitloop: how?

Hessenroots: as long as we agree that cold cereal is wrong

Fruitloop: HA! YES! Cold cereal is the work of the Evil Underlord.

Hessenroots: Because really, some people might prefer sausage. Then you get the patty vs. link groups

Fruitloop: and what kind of hash browns! The slices or the grated...

Hessenroots: even within pancakes....buttermilk, whole wheat, blueberry, chocolate chip

Fruitloop: I know.. with whipped cream or not?

Hessenroots: we'll have to make sure people understand that it's not what the breakfast is, just the idea of the breakfast

Hessenroots: pancakes, waffles, french toast, bacon, sausage, hash browns, even...breakfast burritos

Fruitloop: right. or breakfast skillets.

Hessenroots: yep. oooo with those little fried potato bits

Fruitloop: what about steak and eggs too?

Fruitloop: just nothing cold

Hessenroots: yeah nothing cold

Hessenroots: fuck captain crunch

Fruitloop: fuck tony the tiger

Hessenroots: yeah, him too. what a jerk

Fruitloop: seriously

Hessenroots: Tony the Tiger wants your children in HELL

Fruitloop: they are the infidels..

Hessenroots: They're not GRRRREAT

Fruitloop: HA!

Hessenroots: it is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day

Fruitloop: AMEN!

Hessenroots: hmmm… the Pastafarians will not like this

Fruitloop: oh.. no.

Hessenroots: they're all about dinner

Fruitloop: at least we're all about carbs too, though :P

Hessenroots: true! and grease

Fruitloop: jesus loved him a good breakfast. He said it in the book of Acts

Hessenroots: except he had fish and bread

Fruitloop: yeah, well, he was a Jew. He didn't know any better

Hessenroots: FALSE PROPHET! Jews can eat waffles, I’ve seen it

Fruitloop: HA! They love IHOP, I’ve seen it too

Hessenroots: were jeebus a true prophet, he would have embraced the ONE and TRUE breakfast

Fruitloop: yes.

Hessenroots: (have to make sure you type in all caps every once in a while)

Fruitloop: AMEN BROTHA!

Hessenroots: I don't get it but xians do it

Fruitloop: and Capitalize some words too.

Hessenroots: oh Yes, ones in the Middle of sentences

Fruitloop: YES! Can I hear you say, MAPLE SYRUP?

Hessenroots: *speaks in tongues*

Fruitloop: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hessenroots: ok so we have a basis of faith

Fruitloop: yes. Definitely

Hessenroots: and a LOT of holy places to gather

Fruitloop: yes!

Hessenroots: IHOP has that covered

Hessenroots: along with perkins, dennys and the likes

Fruitloop: but I say every day is holy

Hessenroots: oh yeah. And you can eat breakfast at any time of day at those places

Fruitloop: not just SUNDAYS but TUESDAYS too!

Hessenroots: so there's no specific time, day or place

Fruitloop: yes, I feel it

Hessenroots: as long as you know in your heart that Breakfast is the only TRUE path to...something

Fruitloop: fill your face with pancakes while we fill your soul...

Hessenroots: hmph, we need an end goal

Fruitloop: um.. end goal.. yes. And a punishment.. for not tipping.

Hessenroots: norse had valhalla, xians have heaven, radical muslims get virgins

Fruitloop: there should be lots of vague threats too

Hessenroots: oh yes, the Tasty Lord demands 15%

Fruitloop: what does the Tasty Lord give us then?

Hessenroots: well, each breakfast is a gift

Fruitloop: yes.. 15%, but 25% for large parties

Hessenroots: well yes, the 25% may be added to your bill (see manager for details***)

Fruitloop: ah.. yes.. every day with breakfast is a gift from The Tasty Lord. but we need a big reward

Hessenroots: yeah, like 72 virgins, drinking with your ancestors, eternal happiness, all that

Fruitloop: and our managers are the equivalent of those nasty priests. How about…. 42 waitresses.. eternal bliss, and eternal bacon!

Hessenroots: slightly bookish waitresses with thick rimmed glasses, and a river of coffee that is always hot

Fruitloop: oh! like Willy Wonka's place..

Hessenroots: yeah but less creepy

Fruitloop: IHOP in the SKY!

Hessenroots: EHOP - Eternal House of Pancakes

Fruitloop: rivers of coffee, fountains of maple syrup. YAY AMEN!

Hessenroots: using pancakes in the name really might send the wrong message

Fruitloop: too damn bad, then go to Hell! .. fields of soft fluffy pancakes

Hessenroots: ooo… That you can roll around in naked and no one cares

Fruitloop: what is hell then?

Hessenroots: General Mills ?

Fruitloop: yes! cold cereal hell!

Hessenroots: icy rivers of milk

Hessenroots: crunchy flakes that carve at the roof of your mouth!

Fruitloop: yes! and NO BANANAS or FRESH FRUIT. Just cold cereal and only SKIM MILK

Hessenroots: ...old skim milk

Fruitloop: NO nutritious breakfast.. just eternal punishment. OH ! and it's only HORKIN' FIBER CHUNKS or something horrible like that!

Hessenroots: oooo bran twigs. Ew! I’m SO eating waffles tomorrow

Fruitloop: BRAN TWIGS.. with old skim milk! I’m SO getting french toast soon! LOL

Hessenroots: lucky the leprechaun sits on a throne of marshmallow skulls. There will be those that argue they don't have time for such breakfasts. Kids, careers, etc. etc.

Fruitloop: oh yes.

Hessenroots: But why risk your soul rotting in old skim milk

Fruitloop: I know.. just because you're lazy or busy.. it's too risky. Don't forget to tip your waitress!

Hessenroots: we'll just invoke Pascal’s wager on the non believers. it works for xians

Fruitloop: right!

Hessenroots: the Pastafarians have a stripper factory and a beer volcano. That’s hard to beat.

Fruitloop: do they really? Oh. I didn't know that. Damn

Hessenroots: oh yeah, it's in the contract

Fruitloop: how do we outdo that?

Hessenroots: their heaven has a beer volcano and a stripper factory. Well, strippers aren't for everyone. Nor is beer

Fruitloop: true. Exactly

Hessenroots: but who doesn't like a hearty breakfast and cute flirty waitresses? 42 is important, we'll stress that. in caps
Fruitloop: the waitresses are the equivalent of nuns.. they take your order and save your soul

Hessenroots: yep

Fruitloop: yes. 42.

Hessenroots: and once in heaven they serve you for eternity

Fruitloop: with the streets paved in hash browns

Hessenroots: fields of fluffy pancakes, streets gold and sizzling with fresh crispy hash browns

Fruitloop: and mountains made of omelets.. don't forget the fluffy omelets

Hessenroots: with bits of ham. hmmm, dilemma...perhaps

Fruitloop: dilemma?

Hessenroots: we can't say "waitresses" specifically

Fruitloop: wait staff?

Hessenroots: hmm. Just thinking that some ladies might not be enticed by having 42 cute, slightly geeky yet flirty waitresses at their beck and call

Fruitloop: yeah. good point. damn fools that they are

Hessenroots: eh, their loss I guess. We can't rewrite the scripture just to suit their needs. We're not catholics!

Fruitloop: right! HAHAhAHAHA!

Hessenroots: do we need commandments? like general rules? People like structure as long as it isn't rigid or oppressive

Fruitloop: um, for the ladies, 42 waiters that moonlight as FIREMEN! yes.. definitely need commandments

Hessenroots: funny co-mingling of fantasies there

Fruitloop: ok.. commandments

Hessenroots: I’d do with 42 waitresses that moonlight as librarians

Fruitloop: do we have to do it in old English?

Hessenroots: oh shit no. That’s dull

Fruitloop: ok.. good. I hate old English. The slogan of IHOP is.. This Is My IHOP.. I like that

Hessenroots: ooh yeah. Oh, Pastafarians also have to dress as pirates when they preach. it's a pretty strict rule

Fruitloop: the managers do the preaching. Managers as a general rule aren't very sexy or interesting. we have to sex them up a bit, I think, to get some interest.

Hessenroots: according to Pastafarian scientists the decline in pirates over the last 200 years is the cause of global warming, so they dress like pirates to help the environment

Fruitloop: oh wow. I didn't know that. the manager .. hmm.. really needs to do something special... oh, MAN.. the guys in the BACK! THE COOKS! who are they!? what do they MEAN!? Oh, First Commandment: never send a meal back to the kitchen.

Hessenroots: each meal is a gift, but… the skill of the cook is to blame, not the breakfast

Fruitloop: right!

Hessenroots: so if you send it back, do so only if you're unsure of the cook’s loyalty

Fruitloop: the cook.. the cook is like.. the magician of the universe..

Hessenroots: the cook channels The Word

Fruitloop: the cook channels The Word!

Hessenroots: we have our first nugget of mysticism! Religions with mystics are far more interesting

Fruitloop: OH YES, HALLELUJAH! pass the SYRUP!

Hessenroots: cooks are akin to medicine men, spirit guides almost

Fruitloop: YES! exactly. but you can never see a cook or talk to one

Hessenroots: if you do, you have to repent. Or at least compliment him or her, humbly

Fruitloop: Second Commandment: you must only order from the menu. order wisely. it's your connection to the WORD

Hessenroots: yes

Fruitloop: repent. yes.. contrition is GOOD

Hessenroots: for the menu is there for a reason and is not to be questioned

Fruitloop: no, never question the holy menu. It is sacred and never changes (except when price changes come through in April and December)

Hessenroots: on the subject of cooks, I think approaching one for guidance or insight is ok as long as you aren't distracting them from their holy work

Fruitloop: oh wow..

Hessenroots: we do have seasonal menus here

Fruitloop: I think you have to go through the waiter or waitress.

Hessenroots: yeah, that’s important. oooo! they're the VOICE, like the metatron

Fruitloop: if you talk to the cook, you interrupt the FLOW .. the FLOW of the WORD. yes.. the wait staff is the VOICE

Hessenroots: the cook is the HAND

Fruitloop: HA! YES!

Hessenroots: the wait staff is the VOICE

Fruitloop: the manager is?

Hessenroots: well, the manager really has no specific skill set, per se. Typically

Fruitloop: right.. he is the DIRECTOR.. the one that keeps the ball rolling.. keeps the meals flowing, keeps the schedule

Hessenroots: hmm, hand and voice… the manager is the HEART. He keeps things flowing, is strong and vital

Fruitloop: OH! that's RIGHT! yes! And the busboys... ??

Hessenroots: all paths lead to the HEART

Fruitloop: yes.. YES!

Hessenroots: busboys, hmm… well, typically a dishwasher/busboy is below a cook. so they're in service of the One True Deliciousness, but not yet attuned to ITS service

Fruitloop: oh.. right.. they aren't part of the ONE

Hessenroots: yeah

Fruitloop: right.. they are the novices

Hessenroots: sort of like altar boys, but less rape

Fruitloop: right! hmm. I think we need to name our god here... something catchy

Hessenroots: well I’m thinking… perhaps we go polytheistic? one main and several sub gods

Fruitloop: yes. I like where you're going with this

Hessenroots: the One True Deliciousness would be like Zeus or Odin

Fruitloop: The One True Deliciousness.. the god that cannot be named

Hessenroots: beneath that we have pancakes, etc. etc.

Fruitloop: I see... that's complicated..

Hessenroots: that way we keep possible splinter groups happy. it's complex but all encompassing

Fruitloop: complexity can be good

Hessenroots: say you don't like pancakes but still want to appease your Delicious Lord

Fruitloop: OH!

Hessenroots: you can have french toast, the deity of which would be appeased

Fruitloop: yes.. but don't be snubbing the Lord Of Bacon.. he gets testy if you go for steak and eggs

Hessenroots: oh sure, the gods will have personalities. the Greeks did that well

Fruitloop: yes. Definitely. and it answers a lot of questions for people, like why they got in a car accident.

Hessenroots: yep

Fruitloop: well, they were favoring the carbs, and didn't eat any sausage .... Sausage Man got mad

Hessenroots: instead of "the lord works in mysterious ways" we can say "you probably should have had more bacon"

Fruitloop: exactly. did you know they serve lunch and dinner, as well as dessert? oh the complications!

Hessenroots: IHOP?

Fruitloop: IHOP. yes http://www.ihop.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=2

Hessenroots: that’s fine though, they're still running a business

Fruitloop: yes. but eating a lunch or dinner will not save your SOUL

Hessenroots: the worshippers can get whatever they like but know in their hearts what the ONE wants them to eat

Fruitloop: right.

Hessenroots: going to other eateries is just fine too

Fruitloop: listen to your HEART.. get the omelet

Hessenroots: greasy cafes and truck stops have some awesome breakfasts and will laugh at you if you order cold cereal

Fruitloop: true. it's like visiting another church

Hessenroots: they're a bit more pure but no more or less important

Fruitloop: it's ok to do sometimes, but you really need to come back to your home, YOUR IHOP

Hessenroots: some places don't have IHOPs though

Fruitloop: those are forsaken places

Hessenroots: we just got them a few years ago

Fruitloop: they need ministering. you were lost in a land of darkness... heathens!

Hessenroots: Perkins has, for a long time, had a lock on that market. and still too, as Perkin's is 24 hours and IHOP closes at midnight

Fruitloop: you needed the structure, the steep roof of the IHOP. ah.. those heathens

Hessenroots: the message is more important

Fruitloop: I don't know... I think.. I think maybe, you really DO need to frequent your IHOP.. I mean for the sake of your soul

Hessenroots: but a pilgrimage to IHOP is encouraged

Fruitloop: that's fine for maintenance, but for real connection to the WORD.. you need US.. you need IHOP. oh, it's mandatory, don't you think? you can't go to Perkins all your life.

Hessenroots: true

Fruitloop: that's .. that's almost blasphemy

Hessenroots: though it could cause a rift, once again

Fruitloop: yes. well, then they'll freeze in cold skim milk hell.

Hessenroots: hah! at least ONCE in your lifetime for a chance at salvation

Fruitloop: soul work is not always easy. sometimes you have to wait for a table

Hessenroots: regular visits are smiled upon though

Fruitloop: yes. well, I see factions that insist a weekly visit is necessary. for good and proper soul maintenance. but that's up for debate

Hessenroots: yeah. oh, if you have to wait for a table you should not get bitchy...others need to feel the Delicious Spirit as much as you do

Fruitloop: yes. the Delicious Spirit requires patience... tolerance.. love for your fellow patrons

Hessenroots: thinking also on an image...people like having a symbol - cross, etc

Fruitloop: it needs to be really simple.. something iconic

Hessenroots: yeah

Fruitloop: an egg? it's in all things breakfast

Hessenroots: iconic of a hearty breakfast yet not specific to one breakfast item

Fruitloop: cup of coffee? nah.. OH! a BLUE plate with a fork and knife! and a napkin.. The Delicious Lord likes us to be tidy

Hessenroots: oh we can do all sorts of stuff with colors. people will want them on necklaces and bumper stickers that might not do color so well

Fruitloop: right. Ok. I was thinking blue plate special

Hessenroots: omg  THAT is wrong



Fruitloop: that's HORRIBLE! that's SOOO WRONG! HAHAHAHAHAH!

Hessenroots: what about a spatula? it's simple

Fruitloop: ooh.. yes.. spatula it is. slotted or flat? stainless steel?

Hessenroots: slotted and preferably stainless steel. plastic melts. wood is lame

Fruitloop: yes

Hessenroots: no serious HAND of the Deliciousness would use a plastic spatula

Fruitloop: no! of course not! how dare you speak such heresy!

Hessenroots: I’ll have to repent.



Fruitloop: LOL! and what does repenting entail? these look good. I like the first one



Hessenroots: first one looks good, yeah. Slotted isn't crucial. ok wow, my mind worries me sometimes

Fruitloop: what?

Hessenroots: that heart shaped one

Fruitloop: you like the heart shaped one?

Hessenroots: uhm no. first thought I had was it was the perfect shape for slapping someone on the ass

Fruitloop: oh good! LOL yeah.. I thought that too..

Hessenroots: hah

Fruitloop: REPENT! how do you repent to IHOP, The Delicious One?

Hessenroots: nothing wrong with that, The Delicious One cares not what we do in our free time

Fruitloop: hee hee

Hessenroots: as long as it doesn't involve cold cereal

Fruitloop: true. Right. but still, how do you repent?

Hessenroots: what was our version of hail marys?

Fruitloop: um... count sugar packets and refill the ketchup bottles. wow, there are a LOT of different types of spatulas

Hessenroots: yeah I’m seeing that. specific ones too

Fruitloop: yeah wow..

Hessenroots: they all can do the lords work, or spank. both...not in that order :P

Fruitloop: true. hee hee.. an added bonus!

Hessenroots: I’m thinking the slots aren't key. the flat metal edge is a bit more iconic

Fruitloop: no, not for pancakes, I don't think. Yeah. ok

Hessenroots: no, lol I’m thinking



Fruitloop: yeah. I think you're right. 50 years of IHOP this year. Come Hungry, Leave Happy

Hessenroots: nice message

Fruitloop: yup. says a lot

Hessenroots: we still have a lot of fleshing out to do but we're onto something

Fruitloop: yes. definitely something.. great…. something DELICIOUS

Hessenroots: or not...but at least it's amusing for the time being :P

Fruitloop: oh, you know it!

Fruitloop: this is pure gold, you know.. golden mapley goodness!

Hessenroots: yummm. these kinds of things have to start someplace. look at mormons! magical golden tablets....right

Fruitloop: hee hee! Magical Golden Omelets!

Hessenroots: breakfast or magic rocks....you decide!

Fruitloop: I choose.. I choose The Delicious Lord! can I touch the spatula now?

Hessenroots: the ONE TRUE Deliciousness

Fruitloop: yes.. One True Deliciousness

Hessenroots: hmmm, yes you may touch the spatula

Fruitloop: alRIGHT!

Hessenroots: but wield it only in the name of the ONE

Fruitloop: of course

Hessenroots: and nothing can save your soul if you use it on cereal

Fruitloop: oh .. oh, don't even SAY it!

Hessenroots: where does oatmeal fall in ? I do like oatmeal

Fruitloop: oh no. I do too. and I put maple syrup on mine, so it's good

Hessenroots: ahh ok

Fruitloop: it's a bridge..

Hessenroots: gotcha

Fruitloop: be careful though.. it's a gateway food. it can lead you down the path of evil

Hessenroots: first oatmeal, then the occasional Cheerio

Fruitloop: yes. you must only eat it hot.. of course

Hessenroots: then pre-spatula sex, impure thoughts about syrup and then HELL

Fruitloop: HA! shiver! :

Hessenroots: I’d never even thought of eating cold oatmeal, so I’m ok there

Fruitloop: well, I meant as a cold cereal

Hessenroots: ahh. ew no. don't be gross

Fruitloop: right.. like cheerios. made from oats. so just be careful

Hessenroots: WHOLE GRAIN leads to dead souls

Fruitloop: ah.. yes... true... what kind of toast ????? we almost forgot the TOAST!

Hessenroots: toast is fine I think

Fruitloop: yes. it has to be.. but not alone

Hessenroots: I do like breakfast sandwiches and those need toast

Fruitloop: it must accompany a complete breakfast. and I need toast with my eggs

Hessenroots: yes, or at least one of the major breakfast articles

Fruitloop: yes. sides are all good. in moderation

Hessenroots: yep

Fruitloop: good.

Hessenroots: just not the 'wrong' sides....

Fruitloop: right. that could lead to a sick soul.  not dead, like with whole grains, but sick, definitely

Hessenroots: yeah



Fruitloop: oh! oh man,... that's pure evil! I was getting chills

Hessenroots: side by side there's no comparison



Fruitloop: definitely no comparison.  can you say,... NOM NOM!!!


Hessenroots: mmmmmmmm. I don't recommend Googling "cute waitress". I’m confused

Fruitloop: cute waitress.. LOL

Hessenroots: jesus, I don't even want to know why some of that stuff came up in that image search

Fruitloop:  UGH



Hessenroots: ack! that's just sick

Fruitloop: I know.. sorry.. but we need to know the enemy

Hessenroots: true. harsh yet true

Fruitloop: yes. painfully true

Hessenroots: do we want to be slightly more militant or one of those happy go lucky religions?

Fruitloop: oh.. yes. we need to figure this out. I kind of like the idea of being militant because it seems like it would be more fun, in some ways

Hessenroots: me too

Fruitloop: HA. you like militant too?

Hessenroots: yah

Fruitloop: you seem more like a happy go lucky kinda guy :P

Hessenroots: hmmm well. I am

Fruitloop: so.. we're militant?

Hessenroots: yep, not so far as to suicide bomb cereal aisles at the grocery store

Fruitloop: right.. but rules are rules..

Hessenroots: exactly

Fruitloop: the menu is all important. you must follow the menu

Hessenroots: and needs to be followed

Fruitloop: right

Hessenroots: lol yes

Fruitloop: yes.. so i'd say we're rather firm and strict, but fair too. lovingly firm (wink wink)

Hessenroots: well breakfast is nothing but fair. oooo lovingly firm ;) lol! that'll get people in the door ;P puts an...interesting spin on "Come Hungry, Leave Happy" doesn't it?

Fruitloop: ooh.. yeah.. lovingly firm.. definitely our motto.

Hessenroots: people might get the wrong idea...or right idea depending on what people want to do with breakfast I suppose

Fruitloop: exactly. and we don't care.

Hessenroots: nope

Fruitloop: we're sexually accepting

Hessenroots: well, we might care but only so far as to ask for pictures :P

Fruitloop: HA! exactly! and please..the restroom is sacred.. no sex in there.

Hessenroots: yeah no

Fruitloop: LOL. unless it's with the manager or waitress

Hessenroots: hah! they're holy vessels so it's ok

Fruitloop: right! but never with the cook.. he's sacred...

Hessenroots: unless you're a cook as well

Fruitloop: right... yes. of course..

Hessenroots: professionally, not that "I cook at home" bullshit

Fruitloop: right.. that's just like.. like saying you don't need IHOP, and trust me.. you DO. you need us.. for eternal salvation. this is all making me very hungry. oh. bangers and mash.. english breakfasts! oh no! ok... if it's not on the menu at ihops.. you can't have it. that's the rule for weird foreign breakfasts

Hessenroots: ok so is the sex in the bathroom thing a commandment or something we spin into a parable?

Fruitloop: hmm.. parable I think. a creation myth.. like an adam and eve kinda thing.. something like that would be good eventually

Hessenroots: ahh yeah. no good religion is without plenty of sex. and violence

Fruitloop: right. oh no! we don't have any violence!

Hessenroots: oh we're militant!

Fruitloop: oh.. we kill pigs and chickens..

Hessenroots: yep!

Fruitloop: right.. ok. whew..

Hessenroots: LOTS of them

Fruitloop: SACRIFICE...

Hessenroots: scrambled abortions

Fruitloop: exactly! abortions over easy!

Hessenroots: what's our stand on brunch?

Fruitloop: hmm..

Hessenroots: breakfast is good any time of day I think...it's the meal not the time of day

Fruitloop: right

Hessenroots: making brunch useless and confusing

Fruitloop: yes.. I like that. yes.. brunch is for pansies

Hessenroots: and weakness will not be tolerated!

Fruitloop: no!

Hessenroots: JIHAD on brunch!

Fruitloop: exactly! and those people are weak!

Hessenroots: I have to be careful, at this rate I’ll be declaring holy wars left and right

Fruitloop: yes. but that's ok

Hessenroots: awesome

Fruitloop: I like violence :P it's healthy

Hessenroots: works for me :P

Fruitloop: sweet :)

Hessenroots: we have food, violence, sex....pretty much set for happiness as far as I’m concerned

Fruitloop: right!

Hessenroots:  that is horrifying



Fruitloop: oh! oh, my deliciousness! the HORROR

Hessenroots: General Mills....I should have known

Fruitloop: yeah..

Hessenroots: How'd this guy become a general anyway?!

Fruitloop: the work of the dark lord. I heard he killed someone. he was...

Hessenroots: over...breakfast!

Fruitloop: he was… a cereal killer!

Hessenroots: oh lord, lol

Fruitloop: sorry..

Hessenroots: no it's ok, I’m actually laughing. just, I should have seen that coming. back in a few, I need to find either a snack or a waitress

Fruitloop: ok LOL

Hessenroots: turns out I’m fresh out of waitresses. so I’ve settled on grapes

Fruitloop: damn! yeah.. I had to get myself some coffee. Butch suggested a different icon. he suggested a chickenpig. how about a pig that hatches from an egg!

Hessenroots: oooo

Fruitloop: because that is where all breakfasty goodness comes from!

Hessenroots: that could be the higher deity for meats. I certainly wouldn't want to piss that thing off


Fruitloop: right, ok. That’s GENIUS! I think it needs a bit of cow too. sigh.. it's so complicated

Hessenroots: religion is never easy. Or shouldn't be at least

Fruitloop: true. If it’s too easy then any damn fool could just make it up!

Hessenroots: lol really!

Fruitloop: so, complicated and maybe a bit convoluted is good. but we're lovingly firm. so it's all ok

Hessenroots: yep. Lovingly firm but you'll Come Hungry And Leave Happy

Fruitloop: right!

Hessenroots: which is totally open to interpretation

Fruitloop: exactly. but never question it. that's a sin

Hessenroots: hard to question such a positive message. yet some will

Fruitloop: yes.

Hessenroots: and we will smite them

Fruitloop: we will smite them with our silverware

Hessenroots: this is odd…



Fruitloop: what? WTF? is it a magical cat? why would it dream of spatulas?

Hessenroots: certainly not the oddest one I’ve seen while Googling spatulas but it's weird

Fruitloop: hee hee

Hessenroots: could the cat be a vessel for The Delicious One?

Fruitloop: I saw it earlier too, but thought it too bizarre to mention

Hessenroots: hah

Fruitloop: oh.. oh.. you may have something there

Hessenroots: with me, nothing is too weird

Fruitloop: no... I don't think the cat has anything to do with the Delicious One

Hessenroots: hmmm, false prophet ?

Fruitloop: I think the cat's owner is a liar and a thief.

Hessenroots: JIHAD ON THEM! ON ALL CATS

Fruitloop: NO SHIT! they already know! if you cook it, they will come!

Hessenroots: and they will come hungry

Fruitloop: and leave happy :)

Commandments: (under revision)
1. Remember the Breakfast and keep it Holy.
2. Never send a meal back to the kitchen.
3. You must only order from the menu. Order wisely. It's your connection to the WORD

Now if you need to choose a religion, which would you pick? A savior of rich mapley goodness and bacony delight, or a boring old savior that offers only stale tasteless crackers and sour wine? I mean, come on, the choice is clear!
