I took some pictures inside a TJ Maxx-esque discount store the other day. When I saw Buddha next to the Seven Dwarfs I nearly plotzed. It seemed to me to be the perfect picture of the clash of cultures. I love how peaceful Buddha is and how busy the dwarf's are. Maybe if we slowed down our relentless desire to consume everything we see then we might be able to live in peace. Or maybe some damn Buddhist put it there to confuse me.

It was probably some damn French Canadian. Their plan is to place Disney crap next to many different religious items so it's some ignorant hick is gonna get in a fury when he sees Ariel next to Mohammad. And so will the Muslims, for 1) actually having an icon of him and 2) putting him next to a mermaid. They want to destroy us all so they can take all the oil in the Arctic back. And Alanis Morissette. Who I heard was a very angry then mellow spy.
Damn dwarfs.
You mean Zenny was not one of the seven dwarves?
Oh man. I am wrecked over this one.
dr mvm, how many pull-ups can Buddha do?
END OF ARGUMENT
Fool! What is this, then?

what does Bill O' have to say about our de-Christianizing of the dwarfs....
I can one-up you (because I'm always trying to one-up monkeys): While in Paris, the Beloved Ex and I took photos of our Buddy Lee doll posing with Rodin statues. Priceless. I should post those one day.
I'd rest too if I had undocumented dwarfs working in my jewel mine AND cleaning my house.
At lunchtime they make buddha "one with everything"
germaine gregarious has a great point.
JD-When it comes to funny comments, remember, less is more.
Missy-Damn skippy.
Fran-Zenny played third base for the Toronto Blue Jays for a month in 1986.
Splotchy-You got me there.
Bubs-Zen koans confuse me.
Dcap-I say we canabalize those dwarfs.
Beth-Do! I'd love to see those pictures!
Germaine-I like my buddha on white with light mayo.
Missy-Too bad her point is on top of her head!
I'm just going to put myself out there and say that I would have a hard time deciding between them.
Dwarves...Buddha.
Dwarves...Buddha.
O.k. I'll get them both.
Funny comment?
Whiskey-Good choice.
JD-You will never win a battle of wits with me. I am smarter and funnier than you and since this is my blog I can delete your comments if I so choose so get the fuck over it.
no contest for me, I'd want the Buddha!
Buddha is ultra-badass. Buddha can kick the butts of all seven of the dwaves into next week, but chooses not to because he is at one with his inner self. That's just the kind of cool guy that Buddha is.
Liberality-You got it hon! One Buddha coming up.
Dr. Z-Buddha is cool in this life and in the next.
