Heaven: 5/5

Dear QotD?ers,

Tomorrow I'll share a picture of our beatufiul china cabinet with all the beautiful stuff in it. Arranging the stuff: 10 minutes. Cleaning all the glass: 18 hours. Maybe. It took A LONG TIME.

One thing I want to know is the first time Justin and I really met. I'm pretty certain it was at a spaceship playground when we were kids. My parents have friends close to where Justin grew up and we've BOTH been to that playground.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Apparently everyone in Heaven has duties, some Earthly cause, great or small, to watch over or subtly influence. What is yours?


Love,
The Asker

I will either be assigned to watch over scientific research to make sure that the information being gathered is valid OR I will be be in charge of helping writers with their literary output. (Stephen King must have an awesome Heavenlie on his side! That man is a writing machine!)

And yes, I will need to help with research. Galileo had to fight the church to continue to push through his valid concept. It's the kind of irony that I can appreciate.

Well, unlike Jeannie, I will not be in the garden! No green thumb here. I actually think I will be in the hospitality department or the encouragement department.

Jeannie said...

Oh, I long for the sights and smells of the garden.

As heaven is a Utopian society, there's no relative measures of poverty or wealth; we'll all be equally rich thanks to those treasures we've been storing in Heaven from our time back there on earth.

In fact, there's probably no money at all, since that's Earthly and we'll all live in a socialist commune governed by a benevolent dictator (who we all love and admire due to aforementioned benevolence).

So, without a currency, there's no price function governing the use of our heavenly resources. Being such, for the proper functioning of our daily heavenly consumption, I imagine God requires a small army of economic analysts to ensure perfect allocation of our infinite resources. I bet I'd be an analyst.

As a part-time job that mingles in some earthy cause, I'd hope to serve as the Invisible Hand in a developing market.

Hee hee hee.

Cunao...you know, it sounds to me like you just described the job of the tax man in medieval Europe. Maybe it was the phrase "benevolent dictator," or "small army of economic analysts to ensure perfect allocation of our infinite resources." Anyway, I laughed and pictured you in a Monty Python movie at that point. Thanks!

TamiJean,

Seriously, how can I ever thank you enough for The Mighty Boosh AND Killer Bunnies? You are the most awesome person that I know!

Which is really funny, because Bob asked me today how I found out about the Boosh and I answered, "That awesome TamiJean chick." Bob asked who again, and I had to answer, "I don't know!! She's just awesome and she lead us to the Boosh. Let's not try to figure it out."

I hope that my assignment will be to make sure that people smile when they dance a funny dance.

Mathematical games, junior high level. Everyone should enjoy those.

@Anne

I'll pass along the thanks to the hubby, who introduced ME to the Boosh!

If you haven't seen them yet, you might also like Flight of the Conchords. Not as crazy as the Boosh, but still musical and still funny.
