who knew a ladies bible study could be so much fun?

it all started innocently enough. some girl sends out an e-mail inviting a gazillion people to a women of proverbs 31 bible study.

but then, IT starts. a girl asks to be taken off the list, then a dude, then another chick.

before you know it, you have 100+ e-mails flooding your inbox, most of which either say "PLEASE TAKE ME OFF THIS LIST, THX" or "DON'T REPLY TO ALL TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS LIST!!" the most hilarious part of the latter is that those douchebags had to reply to all in order to scold the other repliers to all.

for the record, the original sender, alicia michele morris, is an idiot. if you're going to e-mail that many fucking people (i'm guessing it's in the thousands), you better BCC those bitches.

for all my whining, there have been some very clever people out there, seizing the moment on their soapboxes. here are some highlights, in loose chronological order.

MICHIGAN WILL LOSE IF YOU KEEP EMAILING!
NOTRE DAME WILL DEFINITELY BEAT MICHIGAN IF PEOPLE KEEP REPLYING TO THIS. IF YOU LOVE MICHIGAN (OR GOD) PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO THE WHOLE LIST. GO BLUE

please remove me from this list. especially because i'm not a lady

Please take me off too... I'm atheist

(after about 50 emails) ... Do any of you know where I can find a Ladies' Bible Study?

72 emails have been sent since 2:12p on 9/11.
Any guesses on the total number of responses by Friday at noon?
The over/under is 120 emails. I take the over.
Thank you Alicia Michele Morris for all of this fun.

maybe if i reply-all, i will also be cool. it's become a herd mentality.
(2 minutes later, same guy) this one is just in case reply-alling twice will make me even cooler.
(and soon after, same guy again) while i'm here, can i just say that i've decided that coffee with 2% milk added is the best way to drink it. it adds some creaminess without making me feel like i'm getting fatter.

Today I was sitting at the union and the two guys next to me were talking about this e-mail, and it made me so happy that we all have something in common now. Wanna hang out next wednesday? We can call it "Ladies Bible Night E-mail Survivors" or something. My place!

Why don't you just admit that you hate Jesus already? This gal is only doing the Lord's work.
