I don't know what translation the Lutherans use, but I bet the joke still works.

happy Lent, brothers

pretty sure my boy weathernerd will redeem himself for the solar flare one with this.

Is that... a griffin? A roc?

vuweathernerd · February 12, 2013, 10:17:54 PM

It's a hippogriff. Courtesy of Harry Potter.

So, LaPorte was right - you got that part. Now, what's the connection to Ash Wednesday?

vuweathernerd · February 13, 2013, 04:19:27 PM

I got nothing right now

It looks like a phoenix bird?

agibson · February 13, 2013, 10:26:19 PM

OK , yeah, if it was Fawkes (was that the name of Dumbledore's phoenix?) we could work with it.

Oh, I'm with you on the "don't look gloomy" (though, on cross check, the NRSV we read in church uses "dismal").

I'm just trying to figure out what that has to do with a Harry Potter hipogriff. He's just supposed to be gloomy looking?

I believe its hipogriff = hypocrite.

Amirite, LaPorte?

VALPO04 FOR THE WIN!

and when ye fast, be not gloomy like the hippogriffs!

Whoah! A fail (on my part) of biblical proportions! I even looked up the verse! But didn't read to the end.

Well played.
