nkWhiteStar posted a statusOn this week's League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen show we kick off our discussion of the Devil by celebrating the birthday of former LEOG member Jason Murphy *hint, hint*and the release of his new (WAY too appropo) pet project:
HELL'S ALPHABET!
It's billed as a "coloring book" but with Murphy writing it (art by Kristin Hogan) I'd say it's more of a factual reference guide.
You can check it at the website hellsaplphabet.com or in person at the STAPLE! Independent Media Expo this weekend where Jason and most of the rest of the LEOG will be walking around.
Speaking of which...
Of course, there's no such thing as a LEOG where we don't throw in numerous plugs for STAPLE! If you're in or going to be near Austin come to the show. Let's see about getting drunk together at the after party.
And as a bonus to all the usual shenanigans, our new breakout star member, John Rubio gives a gripping account of his recent dance with the Devil by the pale moonlight...in his stomach. Here's a hint for all of you fans of 'Man vs Food':
Four Horseman of the Apocalypse!
------------------------------------
AS FOR NEXT WEEK'S SHOW:
Now that we've given the Devil his due it's only fair that we spend some time talking about messiahs and Christ-like figures---though not necessarily Jesus Heironymus Christ himself. In fact, the challenge will be to avoid that all- together.
Thing is, because of next week's hectic schedule we gotta record this sucker sooner than usual. So if you want to get your questions in for it you'd best start asking theeeeeemmmm...NOW!

Comment by Jew Jitsu on March 9, 2011 at 4:03am Dear League,
There are some obvious characters and movies that have allegories to Jesus and the bible like; Neo, Carrie, Aslan, ect...
do you think there are movie/comic/television characters that were created without the intention of being a Jesus parallel but wound up being so coincidentally?
Comment by Jason on March 7, 2011 at 2:19pm 1000 thanks for the plug, Leon!
Comment by Prole on March 7, 2011 at 1:40am If Rubio is there ask which he'd rather fuck: Jesus's hand hole or the vagina like spear hole in his side? And is fucking a resurrected Jewish born messiah that is also his own father necrophilia, or do you have to get to the pre-resurrected corpse in that tomb before he raises on the third day?
Also I agree with Santos fuck that lion.
Long Live the League and Long Live Blasphemous Hypothetical Situations!
Comment by TheFreshEG on March 6, 2011 at 10:37am HEY LEAGUE YOUR A BITCH.....
for quality questions and comentary from your spill fans. heres my question.
since most of yall are atheist. what do yall think you would do if you actually met God himself? what would he say or do to you? how would you react or whatnot?
long live the league from TheFreshEG!!!!
Dear League,
Have any of you ever experienced a piece of fiction in which a character that could almost be compared to the anti-christ winds up saving the souls of many people. For me the titular character from the webcomic Jack comes to mind, as he is sent to hell for an unspeakably evil act, and becomes the sin wrath and fufills his role as the Grim reaper, but winds up trying to save people.
Comment by Doctor JenovaPooh on March 6, 2011 at 1:37am Hello boys (and the lovely Cat)!
I'm not going to ask which is your favorite or most hated Christ-y figures, since I'm sure someone else will inevitably cover that. I would like to know, instead, which you first experienced growing up and if that had an impact on you.
(feel free to exclude my personal experience)
My first experience was Aslan, as the Chronicles of Narnia were the first novels I read. Looking back, I can definitely say it had a profound effect on me and why I first became an agnostic, and later an atheist, particularly The Last Battle.
Love always and hopefully see you in May,
JenovaPooh
Comment by Jordan Edwards on March 5, 2011 at 8:33pm Dear LEOG,
Long-time listener, first time commenter, which is either due to crippling shyness or complete lack of something interesting to say. You decide! I'll keep my comment short:
Jesus v.s. Satan; Who wins? (please take into account any of the powers you've seen one of the combatants possess in popular fiction, i.e. comic books, television, the bible).
Thanks for choosing my comment if you do, thanks for the laughs anyway if you don't, and long live the league.
