When God selects random-typical-guy Ike Simmons for a one-on-one conversation, not even Ike understands why he was chosen. But God has a special message for him to deliver…

It looks like Sonic the Hedgehog's Twitter is calling out our ponies! In replies to multiple fans, these two tweets appeared. Dashie got challenged to a speed-off, and Equestria Girls got the ultimate taunt.

I suppose the battle has begun? Maybe we can all become "friends" and cross over the two in the future?



Thanks to Liam for sending it!

Dedicated to Linda – happy birthday, Linda! Hope you have a great day!

And here’s the previous comic I drew for Linda.

Sprinkles and ice cream go way back. They're completely secure in their relationship. They don't need to prove themselves to newer, trendier pairings, like bourbon and bacon. But every once in a while, it's nice to mix things up — you know, to keep things interesting.

That's where this edible sprinkle bowl comes in.

Creationist Ken Ham took to his blog yesterday to discuss Miley Cyrus‘ nude photo shoot and accompanying interview in Paper magazine (the same publication that “broke the Internet” with its provocative pictures of Kim Kardashian).

Ham’s thoughts are certainly worth reading — not because he makes sense, but because they offer more insight into his own views of the world.

After some pearl-clutching about Cyrus “shak[ing] her fist at God and promot[ing] sexual perversion,” Ham kindly explains the Creationist version of why-humans-wear-clothes (spoiler: it involves sin in the Garden of Eden).

Then he gets to the interview itself:

Now, I will not direct people to that pagan magazine by linking to it, but many news sources carried quotes from the interview she did with this magazine.

On Fox News we read (please note that this news source does display the cover of Paper magazine, which may offend some people),

The article touches on what Cyrus thinks of people who believe Noah’s Ark was a real vessel, “That’s [expletive] insane,” she told the magazine. “We’ve outgrown that fairy tale, like we’ve outgrown [expletive] Santa and the tooth fairy.”

(Ham edits Cyrus’ language more stringently than the Fox article did and bemoans the fact that the “expletive was used a number of times in the interview.” I can only hope that Answers in Genesis’ health plan covers counseling, as this degree of stress may necessitate it.)

As Ham sees it, though, Cyrus is not merely rejecting the Noah’s Ark story, but (and this is his term) the “Ark of salvation — Jesus Christ.” In turning her nose up at that “ark of salvation,” she is, in Ham’s view, rebelling against God despite Jesus’ offer of redemption.

But it gets worse. After (I’m assuming) fetching his smelling salts, Ham quotes from the Fox article again:

Sexually, Cyrus said she is “down with” anything. She views her sexuality and even her gender identity as fluid.

“I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn’t involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that’s legal, I’m down with. Yo, I’m down with any adult — anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me,” she said. “I don’t relate to being boy or girl, and I don’t have to have my partner relate to boy or girl.”

In response to this declaration of her sex-positivity, Ham poses a question that seems to indicate either that his own moral understanding is very shallow (having progressed no further and having developed no deeper than the following of commands) or else very warped (that, without the specter of punishment and the promise of rewards in eternity, he sees no impetus to forgo monstrous acts).

He asks:

Question for her: Why not involve an animal? On what basis does she decide that? Besides, if there’s no God and she’s just a result of evolution, then she is merely an animal anyway. And those she interacts with sexually are just animals — so why not any animals? In other words, she has decided to draw a line for some reason — but what reason? It’s actually because in her heart she knows God exists (Romans 1), she knows she is different from the animals as she is made in God’s image… and she has a conscience (as seared as it is because of her sinful rebellion) because the law is written on our hearts…

Question for her: Why only those over the age of 18? On what basis did she decide that? If there’s no God, why have any age restriction? On what basis would she argue against pedophilia? Why not do whatever anyone wants to do?

The whole line of questioning suggests that Hem believe there’s some sort of sexual attraction between non-believing adults and children or animals, an assumption that springs solely from the depths of Ham’s pious mind. Cyrus makes no secret that she is attracted to both men and women; any and all mention of attraction to children or animals, however, comes from Ken Ham, and only Ham.

More importantly, as to the moral reasons why one would not engage in acts of pedophilia or bestiality, Cyrus herself has already provided at least one answer: consent. A child cannot give informed consent, nor can a non-human animal. Pedophilia and bestiality, then, do not fit the parameters Cyrus has already identified.

So the questions were actually answered before Ham even posed them.

But that didn’t stop Ham from copious quoting of Scripture and dire warnings about the peril of rebellion against God. In his mind, all of this emphasizes the need for a creationist fantasy-land Ark Park:

That’s why we are building a life-size Ark. To remind this culture of the truth of God’s Word and the message of salvation in Jesus Christ, our Ark of salvation. I do pray that Miley Cyrus will repent of her rebellion against the living “Ark” (Jesus Christ) and go through that door to be saved. I pray even Miley Cyrus might come to the Ark Encounter one day and have an encounter with Noah’s Ark, an encounter with God’s Word, and most of all, an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.

If a land-based reproduction of a fantasy boat doesn’t persuade Cyrus to take moral guidance from someone who thinks God-belief is the only thing stopping people from committing animal rape and pedophilia… well, I don’t know what will.

Take a Bacon Vacation!

To say that you are a bacon fan is the understatement of the year. You have tried bacon ice cream, maple bacon cupcakes and bacon gumballs, and your favorite actor is — who else? — Kevin Bacon. Why not combine your love of bacon with your summer vacation? Thanks to an abundance of bacon festivals and bacon-friendly towns and restaurants, you can do just that. Book a multicity flight and pack your bags, because you’re going on a bacon tour of the USA:

Portland, Oregon

On June 13, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry will host the Bourbon and Bacon Fest. You can snack and sip your way through some of the best bourbon and bacon the Pacific Northwest has to offer, including classic and unique bacon-centric dishes.

While you are in Portland, be sure to visit Voodoo Doughnuts for one of their tasty bacon maple bars, and make a side trip to the Bacon Skateboards company — while the skateboards are not made from actual bacon, they do feature plenty of cool bacon logos and stickers.

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston may be nicknamed Beantown, but its heart belongs to bacon. The annual Boston Bacon and Beer Festival takes place every summer in the concourse at Fenway Park. The price of admission gets you 16 tickets, which you then trade in for small samples of beer — but the bacon tastes are completely unlimited. Bacon samples will be available from dozens of local eateries including Blackbird Donuts, Lulu’s, Sweet Cheeks BBQ and The Blue Ox. When you’re done at Fenway, why not head over to Bacon Street? You can take selfies of yourself and the street sign.

Delphi and Indianapolis, Indiana

On August 29, you can take part in the inaugural Indiana Bacon Festival held in Delphi in Carroll County. Presented by Indiana Kitchen Bacon, the event will feature plenty of beer and bacon as well as live music and a cook-off. Pick up a few souvenir bacon shirts and then spend your time wandering from vendor to vendor sampling their scrumptious bacon fare. If you are feeling especially hungry, consider signing up for the bacon eating contest, and then wet your whistle in the beer and wine garden.

Once the festival is over, go to Indianapolis and check out the Bacon Legs and Turntables restaurant, where the friendly chefs will literally put bacon in anything you order.

Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston’s local cuisine relies on plenty of bacon for its signature flavors. Make reservations at The Macintosh, where executive chef Jeremiah Bacon — yes, really — hosts a Bacon Happy Hour. Charleston is also the home to the Bac’n me Crazy food truck that specializes in tasty bacon-laden foods, including the Triple Bacon Burger and Chocolate-Covered Bacon Strips for dessert.

70,000 pounds of bacon spill in Illinois Amtrak crash

An Amtrak train collided with a semitrailer carrying 70,000 pounds of bacon in Illinois on Friday. The train was passing through Wilmington, southwest of Chicago, when it collided with a truck. The truck was blocking the tracks, though it was not immediately clear why. The trailer of the truck overturned and was split open, with its contents strewn about a grassy embankment. Broken boxes littered the train tracks Friday afternoon as authorities investigated the scene.

There were no reported injuries to the train’s crew or its 203 passengers, but 10 ambulances were called to the scene. Passenger Sam Herwitz said there was an impact followed by confusion when the train stopped and there were no crew announcements for about 20 minutes. The driver of the tractor-trailer, he said, walked away from the crash.

“No one knew exactly what we were supposed to do. We didn’t really know if we’d hit something or we had just done a brake-check kind of thing,” he told NBC Chicago. “The truck that hit the train is in pieces. There’s boxes everywhere. But somehow the driver was OK.”

It is not known if the bacon is salvageable or if there are any rescue efforts in place to “save the bacon.”
