Where's your Aqua Buddha now?
Oct. 18th, 2010 02:31 pmOkay, while admittedly Tea Bag candidate Christine O'Donnell's being outted as a witch took me aback it wasn't all that surprising, (I mean who hasn't experimented with black magick and/or homosexuality in college), but that's nothing compared to the shocking revelation of Republican senate hopeful Rand Paul being an Aqua Buddhist.
Last night, during a televised debate for the Kentucky Senate race, Democratic rival Jack Conway asked what will probably be the most important question of the campaign season: "...when is it ever a good idea to tie up a woman and ask her to kneel before a false idol, your god, which you call Aqua Buddha?"
This is of course a trick question - because if said woman was correctly tied up she shouldn't have been able to kneel in the first place!
But who is Aqua Buddha?
Well, according to Aleister K. Regardie, head professor of Miskatonic University's comparative religion department, the answer is quite surprising.
"The being we now call 'Aqua Buddha' was born some 70 years ago as a one Siddhartha Curry, the son of a runaway Deep One Hive Princess and a humble Buddhist lighthouse keeper over in Terror Peake, Rhode Island. Sid, as his friends would call him... if he had any friends, upon reaching puberty began to grow a set of gil flaps along his neck and soon discovered he possessed the uncanny ability to telepathically control aquatic based life forms. Naturally he used these abilities to fight underwater themed crime... until several months passed and he realized that there actually was none to be fought (with the exception of a shop lifting squid and the rising amount of gang violence in schools of trout). Disappointed that he would not be able to pursue a career as a submersible vigilante, he began to delve into his father's faith and while meditating upon the wisdom of the Diamond Sutra (while simultaneously riding on the back of a humpback whale), Sid reached a state the mystics call 'Samedhi'.
From there it wasn't long until Sid migrated to California where he opened the First Church of Aqua Buddha in 1957, which to this day boasts some 150,000 aqua faithful. Of course, I would like to make it perfectly clear that there is not to be relation to Aqua Buddha with similar amphious religious figures such as Hydro Allah or the Sub-Jesus."
So there you have it, folks. The amazing origin of Aqua Buddha - now vote accordingly.
