Narthex
I learned from That Story Show that the little area in a church before the main hall is called a “narthex”, which sounds like the name of an intergalactic alien overlord who eats planets (By the way, an excellent podcast with 260 episodes, even if it is now discontinued, there’s a lot of fun listenin’ there if you have never given it a chance).
I did a great co-interview with fantasy novelist Trevor H. Cooley who paved his own writing career on Amazon. We chat about making stuff and trying to get it read by people and at the end of the article Trevor gives readers his first volume for free in Kindle and Audible format, and I am giving out a limited number of free downloads of the full version of Bearmageddon Vol. 1 in PDF format with high resolution images and bonus content. See the article to get yours.
And if you haven’t checked it out yet, I’ve been posting a weekly humor strip over on EthanNicolle.com. It’s called Frontkick.
Thanks for reading!

Well, now we know bears aren’t very religious.
Either that or they think Mormonism is extremely heretical.
I mean, a pair of lady bears did avenge Elisha when some punk kids made fun of him for being bald, so either bears can be selectively religious or they don’t appreciate taunting baldies. I don’t recall them ever attacking the set of Whose Line is it Anyway? but we don’t get to see ALL the behind-the-scenes stuff.
You win all the points for the Colin Mochrie reference. (His surname is kind of perfect for what he does.)
Narthex sounds specifically like something the Coneheads would have..
oh man.. I gotta echo the ‘oh no’ sentiment :s
You will gnarfle the garthank in the gnarthex!
Ethan, so you know us Mormons definitely have pianos, and organs. So you know. Pretty standard setups for churches. Pretty much the same as most other churches I’ve been in (been to a lot of different denominations in my lifetime). Though I really, really like the idea of an RPPLDS church, so you should work that one in there one day.
I used to attend a church denomination that didn’t use any instruments. They sang only acapella from a hymnal. No mics even up front. It may sound weird to some but I loved it.
That sounds awesome to me. I used to attend a church that had a live rock band. It was the exact opposite, and I get how a lot of people didn’t think it was very spiritual, but it was really fun attending there.
Bears now have a clear advantage over the immortals in Highlander.
