Kudos for the headline...

 
Gecko Gingrich [TotalFark] 2005-02-16 12:16:36 PM  
That garnered a chortle. Congratulations.

This is the best headline I will see today.

 
nifta 2005-02-16 01:11:28 PM  
insert "banging the bishop" joke here.

 
nodog 2005-02-16 01:12:02 PM  
Yeah... you get a little headline jaded on TotalFark... this one brought me out of the jaded for a good, unexpected chuckle.

Kudos, submitter.

Submitter, very nice.

 
NikolaiFarkoff [TotalFark] 2005-02-16 01:20:36 PM  
Thanks, all. Definitely enjoying day 3 of my gracious TF sponsorship, but not getting much work done. And since I can't get too involved in discussions, I just submit headlines.

/submitter

...bleh bleh bleh Church of England bleh bleh bleh bleh bleh...

 
MrStench [TotalFark] 2005-02-16 03:23:02 PM  
Awesome headline.

But seriously, I believe the Anglican (Episcopalian) church in the U.S. has female bishops. Correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps England should get with the times, man. We even have a g4y d00d as a bishop.

 
aGorilla 2005-02-16 03:23:04 PM  
the headline alone deserved a greenlight.

/adds to applause

samimgreen 2005-02-16 03:26:27 PM  
The vote comes after the House of Bishops published a report outlining the theological arguments over the issue.

That's funny, I thought Dan Brown wrote it.


 
WokeUpDead 2005-02-16 03:28:32 PM  
submitter: well done on the headline.

For those that "don't get it", in the game of Chess, a Bishop piece may only move diagonally.

Brilliant headline.

 
Tricky Chicken 2005-02-16 03:33:57 PM  
I too must applaud the submitter. Simple, straight forward, not too long yet hilarious.

It is the headline with everything.

he even avoided clichees

 
Tras311 2005-02-16 03:34:31 PM  
best headline ever

 
therecksays 2005-02-16 03:34:51 PM  
"Vicar I've done terrible things."
"So have I."
"Well what should I do?"
"Take 3 Bloody Mary's and try not to think about it."

 
xcman 2005-02-16 03:35:36 PM  
I will join the masses on applauding the witty headline. Kudos!

 
SharkInfested 2005-02-16 03:35:37 PM  
God's own agenda
- grocery shopping
- laundry
- fark
- fap?

Yup, they are correct, God's agenda has "nothing to do with aspirations for women".

 
SchrodingersCar 2005-02-16 03:35:42 PM  
Is it too late to compliment the headline?

 
mekkab [recently expired TotalFark] 2005-02-16 03:35:57 PM  
NikolaiFarkoff wins the Fark. Like, all of it.

And to round out the topic;
Is the church so popular that it can afford to alienate ever more people? Or are they such a distant second to Islam that they figure "why try?"

/This isn't anti Islam- this is anti-exclusionary crap from a group that "idolizes" someone who supposedly said "Love one another"

 
rodeofrog 2005-02-16 03:36:17 PM  
I submitted this with a funnier headline - something about vagina, I think.

 
fatal_exception 2005-02-16 03:37:07 PM  
Great headline!

Not going to RTFA now.

 
Tricky Chicken 2005-02-16 03:37:17 PM  
A miracle happened in my hockey game last night.

I broke my wrist.

It wasn't my fapping one

How does a New Jersey based, Non-TotalFarker get Sponsored?

 
ScreamingDolai 2005-02-16 03:37:43 PM  
It's never too late to compliment the headline.
