I pottered over to The Garvanian earlier today (good news – Garvan’s taking his meds and has been admitted to hospital for treatment, so he’s finally getting some much needed help) when I spotted this picture in the sidebar:

Now I remember the Chuckle Brothers from when I was a kid (they’ve been around since about 1874), but for a second they looked familiar for a different reason. Then it hit me – earlier today I’d noticed this picture elsewhere:

Who would have thought there were three of them? Mind you, funny as Paul and Barry’s antics are, their younger brother Ray Chuckle takes the comedy cake for such gems as the Argument From Bananas, the Argument From Redefining Terms (“an atheist is someone who believes nothing made everything!”), the Argument From There Being No Crocoducks, the Argument From Just Outright Lying Through My Teeth and the Argument From Darrin Raspberry (not heard that one? Darrin is the unknown (and likely ficticious) “atheist” who wrote the forward to Ray’s latest book – and subsequently gave his soul to Jebus because he saw the light…). Ray, we love you – you’ve brought joy to the hearts of thousands. Now all we need is for you to be hit in the face with a ladder and our pleasure will be complete.

“To me – to you – to me – an atheist is someone who believes that nothing made everything – to you…”
