Believe it or not, the 'Twinkle Twinkle' thing in the 'Day Job' thread has me doing my ear training by working out a fingerstyle chord-melody for that particular tune. My wife laughs because I get frustrated...whodathunk a nursery rhyme would be so challenging. | ||

I see them stuck on cars and was told that those people are strong christians. That's cool, but I have no idea what the connection is between jesus and a fish. I'm not poking fun of relegion, I'm just curious what the fish means. Thanks. | ||

As for the fish, I've always connected it with the parable of how Jesus said "Give a man a fish and he can eat but teach him how to fish and he'll never hold a real job again." or something like that. 'Course they've refused to let me back in the Church for years now so I'm not really sure. | ||

I always thought it was related to the 'make you fishers of men' story. Although I only make a hobby of comparative religious study, not a practice. ;) | ||

They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him. NIV I agree, catch and release still does apply. | ||

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 2850 Location: Midland, MI | During the late 80s VW 'Fahrvegnugen' (spelling?) thing, I had picked up a T-shirt from a street vendor in Toronto (man, I love that town) that I *thought* said, 'FunkenGruven' with the cutesy little umlauts over the 'u's. I wore it proudly for a couple of months before my mother, of all people, pointed out that there was no 'n' before the 'k.' Sorry, the bumper sticker reminded me of that. | ||
