Poll question: OK, but what KIND of flying Spaghetti?
Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 02:07 AM by skids
Specifically what kind of pasta is the Flying Spaghetti Monster made of? That's a question that has been hotly, sometimes violently, debated from times unknown. Well I guess I shouldn't say "made of" since that would imply something created the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which of course we know would be pure heresy.

What sect are you?

We all know he first revealed himself in the Orient!

That's why we say "Ramen!"

He is what we acknowledge.

Ramen noodles!

Repent, for the kingdom of cheap, shrimp-flavored noodles is at hand!

3. I've been questioning my faith. :(
I'm thinking it might have actually been a Flying Lasagna Monster because I like lasagna better than spaghetti. Oh FSM, please don't smite me!!!

9. Death to Angel Hair Orthodoxy!
Our concept of pasta is merely an incomplete understanding of the Divine Semolina. The true nature of the FSM is beyond our comprehension.

10. Is there a "Devil" in this religion yet?
One would think Dr. Robert Atkins would be a logical choice :evilgrin:

12. He who shall not be named...

13. Spaghetti is a variety in and of itself
Angel Hair is not Spaghetti. It's Angel Hair.

Linguine is not Spaghetti. It's Linguine.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE SPAGHETTI!!!!!!!!



(I used to make pasta for a living)

16. See that's the problem with you fundamentalists.

Everyone knows that the Macaroni scrolls, while only a historical document, clearly indicate that the original Holy Barbina parchments were translated into the common
vernacular of the time, in order to have the greatest appeal to the masses. That meant the technical culinary terms were disposed of for the more common "spaghetti." As if that isn't enough, the original Agnolotti word meant merely "noodle." Yet you still insist on a strict literal "stagne incannulate" interperatation. Noone was around to see the FSM weild the rolling pin of creation... so there is no leg to stand on to justify such stridence.

Sheesh. :eyes:

14. other. Alfredo sauce.
Or chili. The consistency of the pasta isn't as important to my faith as the topping.
