This is the last picture of young Carlos with the bell choir after secretly substituting an arrangement of "Thriller" and teaching the moonwalk to his peers.
In a recent church board meeting, the deacon board debated whether or not handbells were too “modern” for the congregation; a compromise was reached by dressing the handbell choir in Amish apparel.
Don't really have a caption but somebody worked REALLY hard to make things even. Blondes front and center; tall guys and girls with brown curls on the ends; smily guys in the middle. I'm sure they were like, "What do I do with HIM? I know, let's put him right here. Maybe nobody will notice."
After the picture is snapped… young Carlos, imagining a better and less humiliating world, prophesies:
"No, really guys… I'll show all of you. This is just a stepping stone for teen Los… One day I'll do a new kind of music… in churches where there will be no ties. Especially PINK ties."
Ding fries are done, Ding fries are done, Would you like an apple pie with that, would you like an apple pie with that? I work at Burger King, making Whoppers I wear paper hats. Ding. Fries. Are. Done.
This is a photo of the church hand bell choir! Probably used in the directory or to promote a Christmas concert. Notice, the church has a hand bell choir! O yeah, the guys are wearing pink ties and the girls have napkins on their shoulders!
"Shortly after this picture was taken, Carlos knew he was destined for much more and burned one of his white gloves choosing to wear only one and perfect his moonwalk…"
dude…you were in a bell group thing…i used to see those groups at Christmas time…man…that's a priceless picture…the stuff you had to do that your parents thought was good for you…
What makes this picture SOOOO funny is that I actually knew all those people. Usually, when you see these "caption please" pics it's some random. I was right there watching you guys ring those bells… always a little jealous that I didn't have skills.
Stephen & Eric looked like they were about to kick somebody's arse.
Who is that in the background?
Gotta love that burnt orange carpet… and the outfits y'all were sporting.
RAIN IT DOWN
"one of these things is not like the other, one of these just doesn't belong…"
"one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong…"

Oh boy… I chose the wrong time to read this comment (I'm in a class).
But thanks for the laugh
Yep. Nothing like hitting it out of the park on the first pitch.
Hand bell choir FTW!
"One of these things is not like the other…"
"You said this was gonna be cool! Jerk."

Is there anything cooler than being in hand bell choir?
In a recent church board meeting, the deacon board debated whether or not handbells were too “modern” for the congregation; a compromise was reached by dressing the handbell choir in Amish apparel.
Billy: "Your name's Carlos?" Los: "yup!" Sarah Marie: "Oo! Can you play 'La Bamba!?!'"
"Come on, young Carlos, girls with white gloves will cause bells to ring."
The Adora-Bells!
"That Carlos… the dude's got bells of steel"
los's first attempt at creating an "irresistable ministry environment".
It's not so much that los is brown – it's that the other 11 are so freaking white. I didn't think they had SPF 100 back then.
“I thought only white people were allowed in hand bell choir”
The hand bell choir finally adopts an Affirmative Action Policy.

My wife, Lana, said that my comment was rude. I didn't mean it that way but I trust her judgment. So, sorry!
"Maybe no one will even notice…"

"Who was that one kid who kept ringing on the offbeats?"
Ding fries are done, Ding fries are done, Would you like an apple pie with that, would you like an apple pie with that? I work at Burger King, making Whoppers I wear paper hats. Ding. Fries. Are. Done.

The cast of the original "Glee" on FOX. It's easy to see why they never made it past shooting the pilot.

Obama, the early years.
One of the many joys of being raised Baptist.
We'll be there with bells on!
"You think I'm cool now? Just wait till I'm a blogger."
How to make friends and influence people.
