Mel Gibson really blew it

I'm more of an "off white", myself.

So was that the stock paintjob or did you yellow as you aged?

That was sarcasm, maybe it didn't translate. Or maybe it just wasn't funny.

I thought so too but I wasn't sure. I don't have to worry I am THE White Guy. I can trace my heritage to Vikings. I'm a blue- eyed; 6'6"; red-blond haired wonder. Oh well, both sides of the family have been here since and before the Revolution. My grandparents lived on Xenophon Street. Just a little irony there.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

Isn't Mel Gibson over-religious-catholic?Isn't it forbidden to drink so much for him?


I heard that he has his own church in his house.

You want a church? I am an ordained minister. Universal Life Church 1969. I could make my trailer a guitar shrine with religious overtones. We could meet and sacrifice a J/C knock-off in flames to keep the faith.:ROTF: :ROTF:

Drinking is not taboo for Catholics because we take sacramental wine as part of the communion rite. Of course you shouldn't drink to excess but many priests actually have drinking problems.

A lot of wealthy Catholics do have chapels in their houses. A full-fledged church is rarer but Mel could surely afford it. He is of a very conservative sect that doesn't follow Vatican II. They think the Mass should still be held only in Latin for instance. Most feel it's better said in the language of the people of the country so they understand.

HEY!! You could live tax-free if you organized The Church of the Guitar Fett-ish! And if you find a supply of Series 10 Jackson copies, the plywood bodies would burn all night!

Yes I know the wine(blood),bread(flesh) thing.But being alcoholic wouldn't be a good thing for any religion

[lerxstcat]

No, but people have problems. You don't get kicked out of church because you're an alcoholic. And it IS a big problem among priests. They're human like everyone else.

Sorry I didn´t get it. Language barrier?

[atomic charvel guy]

Mel's on a roll with two eggs and butter, he got busted mid bender, and he'll be on the cover of People magazine in 3 months with a big grin and a I'm alright now smirk, everything's cool, time for church, and after that back to counting profits and what scripts to pick and produce. It's a walk in the park, I'd like to see him if they took all of his money, assets, family, houses, etc. and did a reality show and see how long until he's at Gil Turners buying a fifth of nice Tanqueray-lol

I think priests have bigger problems.They can't marry or date women as far as i know,right?They must feel really caged.

I arrested a couple preist/ministers for rape and sexual assaults..

Our police chaplin and pastor of my son's school drinks like a fish..he's a good guy..we had some great conversations..

[danastas]

Who the fuck is TMZ? So if its on a webpage it must be true. I hope you guys dont run into those assholes who post webpages of 9/11 conspiracies..............

While I agree with you that this TMZ thing is most probably NOT TRUE, there's an article in the Washington Post today that has the 9/11 commission admitting that NORAD's story was nothing but a bunch of lies. That doesn't mean there was a conspiracy, but neither you nor I know what happened. The comission knows that it's being lied to. So, of course some people are going to make stuff up when they are being lied to. This thing will go down the same way the Kennedy assassination did. Magic bullet, my ass.

[danastas]

F*ck Mel Gibson and f*ck all of the celebs. Who really cares what any of them think. Not me. It makes me sick how people clammer to famous peoples opinions or stands. What makes his thoughts any more prevalent than yours or mine?.... absolutely nothing.

Well, the fact that they have a stage to say them. Me, I'm going to stand on the corner with my sandwich board warning about the apocalypse. I may get a sandwich thrown at me.

[horns666]

Oh yes the "the apocalypse"..

Yes, that will be August 3rd 2053...for sure this time!!

I know this..
