Weeping Cardboard Jesus
It's pretty eerie. Apparently there's no real explanation found so far.

12. Good choice.
I think Jesus meant for you to have this as a band name. :o

14. And if people leave the band, and you get new members
You could name the new band "The Passion of The Weeping Cardboard Jesus".

:bounce:

O, I just kill me. :D

18. I have new drumming skills, too!
I can use the KICK!

Okay, just in 4/4 time.

But I am using BOTH my feet AND my hands; and they are sometimes in sync!

20. well that is very good ,boom chuck, the basis of rock and roll
actually my teacher says that independence ( being able to let your limbs do different parts at the same time and then intersperse them) is the hardest part of drumming. That is why young kids have to sit there for years hitting the practice pad over and over. I now can hit the hi-hat without doubling, when I double the bass drum and that is a big change for me.

You have to hit kick and hi hat together, crunchily and consistently. That is a good start. You just have to relax and let your body do it for you and try not to think. Good luck!

8. Maybe he didn't like Mel Gibson's movie about him.
I don't care if it rains or freezes
as long as I have a weeping cardboard Jesus
that I can get people to me pay to see.

You can hit me with a stick or a board
as long as I have a cardboard lord
that I can get people to me pay to see.

9. Reminds me of the time ...
Al Bundy sweated a silhouette of Elvis.

Eeegads, people are gullible.

15. Hey! ...I've got proof that it's true.
After not eating one day, I once saw our Blessed Virgin Mary on 2 Wendy's Double chesseburgers. I prayed for her to take away my hunger......sure enough, not 10 minutes later I was full of her spirit.

16. Are you a doubting Thomas?
If it's in the Houston Chronicle, it must be true!

19. Notice where they find these things
Never in New Hampshire or the Easter Islands or Vladivostok. It must be a sign.
