The Greatest Town in the World - a mini-series Pt.2

And so, in continuing in the Smith Falls adoration, I'm now moving onto Part 2 of our delicious mini-series about The Little Town that Could.

Not long after driving past Poonamalie Rd. I happened across a peculiar building with a curious theme.

That theme, my friends, is none other than Autoparts and Christian Fellowship.




I definitely had to do a double-take when I saw this building. I couldn't believe my eyes! But then I realised that Smith Falls probably has the most Fundamentalist Nascar Fans per capita than any other chocolatey-conservative, sheep-rearing town in all of South-Eastern Ontario.



So, I decided to check out Word of Faith Fellowship on the web. It's website describes its Church as being "non-denominational" and that their goal is to "equip the saints for the work of the ministry". Basically, the long and short of it is that they're apocalypse-loving, second-coming awating Fundies thats ripe with missionaries. But what'evs -that's cool, that's cool. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

But wait, then there's the autoparts place attached to this missionary recruitment centre. But I guess, y'know, missionaries have got to get around too. It's not like God has graced us with the know-how to create any sort of teleportation devices as of yet.

So, the church sends missionaries over seas to places like Thailand, India, Uganda and Kenya. Y'know, spreading their non-denominational message of Christ's love and such, but I knew that good ol' CarQuest would be doing it's part. I kept the faith, people! And after a bit of digging, I found that the Smith Falls CarQuest actually donated money to Ducks Unlimited's project Webfoot back in 2003-2004! Enough that it was on their website and subject to an intensive Google Search!


Right on, CarQuest! Now there's an institution you can put your faith into.

Just when I thought Jesus freaks couldn't get any more bizarr-o.

You've gotta come up North with me sometime. Some classic little towns and such, let me tell you.

Welp, it's come to my attention that my day-to-day tends to amuse the throngs of individuals who participate in Renee's Story Time *cough* and therefore, I will use the potentially constructive hours of my day to waste recounting my goings-ons... That being said, on with the show. Everyday, I bus for an hour to school. Ironically enough, I live less than 20 minutes away from my school, but the theory behind the extra time according to my mother is something along the lines of gas, or Jesus... maybe gassy Jesus...moving on... Everyday, for the most part , something amusing happens within that hour on the bus. Whether it's the over zealous Universal-Pagan-Mystery-Man, He-Man Woman-Hating Muslim Senior, or Bingo Lady, that hour everyday generally proves to be worth every minute. Today, for example. All Girls Field Trip Day! Ah yes. The little ladies of L'Academie Jeanne D'arc were on the road today. I initially assumed they were heading to Mooneys Bay. After passing t...

HAPPY SHANNON TWEED DAY!!!

Happy 1st Annual Unofficial Shannon Tweed Day!!! Worth Celebrating While attending a court hearing, Ottawa City Mayor Larry O'Brian was out and acting Mayor Doug Thompson was in. During his reign, the Mayor in Action planned to declare July 15th as Shannon Tweed Day in accordance with her visit to Ottawa with partner Gene Simmons and his band KISS. Encouraging us to party ev-er-y day since 1972 Unfortunately city councilors snubbed the idea as official holidays are reserved for long standing citizens and people who have made significant contributions to the community. According to reports, Ms. Simmons Tweed was not offended by the snub and took it all with a grain of salt. While Shannon is a Canadian native and did live in Ottawa for several years, she is now an American Citizen as most of her body parts are from across the border. Acme Despite the Day not becoming an official holiday, the citizens of Ottawa, myself included, have definitely taken it upon themselves to celebr...

Animals and the people who love them.

The Yuletide season is upon us. For the better prepared portion of our community, you've finished your x-mas shopping. For the bulk of my readers, you probably haven't even begun. For most people, x-mas shopping involves wracking your brain for -the- gift that will compliment your loved ones. For others, a last minute dash to the dollar store will suffice. Then there are the people that shop for their pets. These are not only the people that buy for their pets, but also give from their pets as well. From: Mittenz Major corporations make millions off of these chumps pet owners by milking them for everything their worth. From holiday themed pet toys, to pictures for your best friends with Santa Claws (heh heh) Today I received an e-flyer from PetSmart about some handy-dandy last minute gift ideas for my pets. I am the disgruntled owner of two disgusting cats. Regardless of the fact that they are ungrateful bastards, I wouldn't buy them presents strictly on the principle t...
