Whoa, his language is a little more ominous than usual. He's either digging into the Old Testament more these days, or he's finally gonna Jim Jones the lobster buffet.

Just don't offer to hold open any hatches for him, or he'll rip off your arm and beat you with the wet end.

Are you sure it's not the love boat? Maybe it's really an opportunity for Hutch and his buddies to take a vacation from the closet.

What's a little high blood pressure between friends?

I wonder if he knows how to swim.

Cruising with Hutch? I think that's something he normally does incognito and alone.

Someone ought to infiltrate the cruise and very loudly commit an act of sodomy within earshot of Hutch's room.

omg, where? when? I think we need to get about 800 homos to call the cruise line and get booked. Woo Hoo! I wonder how Hutch would feel on a boat with a bunch of Sea-Men
ba-da-bump

Isn't shakin' it immoral or something?

A boat cruise always constitutes an outstanding opportunity to stand for righteousness. Unless they have hookers on board.

Oy. I used to take complaints for a cruise line, and I pity everyone on this ship who's not a member of Hutch's group. We occasionally had large "Christian" groups booked, and they made life hell for all other guests, often loudly telling their young children they were going to burn in hell. Most of our staff was Indonesian, and therefore Muslim, and dealt with plenty of bullshit from these guests as well, and the crew was mostly Dutch and entirely European, so had to deal with disapproval for their booze swilling ways (off duty, of course. No Joseph Hazletons on those boats). Finally, the poor suckers who had my job will have to deal with complaints from everyone outside the group who were alternately proselytized or condemned, and from all the Christians who are upset that the casinos and bars weren't shut down for their cruise. No wonder they're on Celebrity. I think they've already run through all the other cruise lines.

Hutch looks and acts like a total closet case. Bet you a million bucks he's a "hook-up, repent, repeat" kind of pastor.

If there is any just in this world, I hope they all get food poisoning on that boat and spend the cruise worshipping the porcelain god.

standing up for righteousness while sitting down to an all you can eat buffet

"Make sure your salt doesn't stay in the shaker" sounds like a euphemism for "ejaculate on your pastor's face" to me.

Eli, I happen to be artisanal Balinese pink sea salt, as you well know.

And @19, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Holy hell...

Maybe he means salting the earth after pillaging it...

Attn: Mr. Savage:

Please, please assign a writer to this cruise.

Oh, please please please let's organize a flashmob for this cruise led by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Julia Sweeney.

Wonder if Pastor Hutch will pack his Schrammie? Ya know, the one he talks to?

Hutch Hutcherson is probably using the word "got" as the German word for god. It is correctly spelled (in German) as gott or Gott. I'm surprised he did not capitalize it. He could be thinking in the familiar sense, as he attributes himself as having the authority of God.

It just slips out sometimes.

Looks like he'll be in Victoria and Nanaimo in October. Legally married Canadian gay couples take note if you would like to be part of a welcoming ceremony.

Or maybe they'll turn him away at Customs?

I thought these people can walk on water. Ugh. What a dismal trip this would be. Hey Dan, why not have a door knob licking on this cruise?

Hutch is a little peppery for salt, don't you think?

Wow, all the sophistication of traveling by cruise ship combined with the excitement of a fire & brimstone church service.

I didn't think it was possible to make going on a cruise less appealing, but I was wrong.
