We're Number 1
Just a note to make you aware that "Stump the Pastor" has reached the #1 spot on Yahoo's search. Test it out for yourself. Just search for "Stump the Pastor" on Yahoo, and there we are.
Having now achieved what was my ultimate life goal, there are several things that were further down on the list that I'm no longer going to bother striving for. Just in case you're curious, here was the list I was working from.
Pastor John's Ultimate Life Goals
1. Reach #1 search position on Yahoo (achieved, January 2005)
2. Brush teeth daily
3. Learn to make floating spit bubbles
4. Stare at the sun long enough to turn my blue eyes brown
5. Encourage congress to pressure soft-drink companies to revert back to English measurements and once again sell soda by the gallon.
6. Encourage congress to pressure snack food companies to sell all food items in liquid measurements, thus allowing me to purchase Slim-Jim's by the gallon.
7. Stop wearing white shoes before Easter
8. Learn the words to 99 Luftballoons by Nena
9. Roll my neighbor's monogrammed bowling ball down our hill and hope it doesn't hit any of the cars on Main St.
10. Save for my children's college education

1. Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst Du vielleicht grad' an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt
1. You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got.
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone.
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, Something's out there.
Floating in the summer sky.
99 red balloons go by.
2. 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man fuer UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
Eine Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so war
Dabei war da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
2. 99 red balloons.
floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert.
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life.
Opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky.
Where 99 red balloons go by.
3. 99 Duesenjaeger
Jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich fuer Captain Kirk
Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fuehlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons
3. 99 Decision Street.
99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super-scurry.
Call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it boys, this is war.
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.
4. 99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
4. 99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
With orders to identify.
To clarify and classify.
Scramble in the summer sky.
As 99 red balloons go by.
5. 99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keinen Platz fuer Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt es nicht mehr
Und auch keine Duesenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh die Welt in Truemmern liegen
Hab' nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn fliegen
5. 99 dreams I have had.
In every one a red balloon.
It's all over and I'm standing pretty.
In this dust that was a city.
If I could find a souvenier.
Just to prove the world was here.
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.
