    I love this so much. Too much. I may or may have recently hosted a “Bob Ross painting party” where people got drunk and watched the show and attempted to recreate his masterpieces (SPOILER, I did and it was great and our paintings were HIDEOUS but we knew it was ok because Bob Ross loves us anyway, and I highly recommend it).

    The first quote I got on bobrossquotes.com: “When I was teaching my son Steve to paint, I used to tell him, just pretend he was a whisper, and he floated right across the mountain, that easy, gentle, make love to it, caress it [in bed]”

    As someone whose running name is Bob Ross (according to the nice ladies I run with, anyway), I love this. In bed.

        I don’t think it’s a thing, really, but I run with the same women all year, and last year when we were training for some folks’ first half-marathon, I was the training leader for my (slow, wonderful) pace group, and one woman gave us all running nicknames. Mine was Bob Ross, because when everyone is tired and cranky and our feet hurt, I tend to say things like “Okay, time to job again. Just a little run, a gentle little run, you can do anything for 30 seconds” etc. Now I love my running name of Bob Ross. (p.s. I was logged in under a different username before, sorry for the bait and switch, lol.)

    Raise your hand if you also learned this in church, where your fellow youth club members taught you about going through the hymnal during boring sermons and adding “in bed” to hymn titles.

    1. Abanthis +18

      How Great Thou Art In Bed.
      Abide With Me In Bed.
      What A Friend We Have In Jesus In Bed.
      Bind Us Together, Lord In Bed.
      Since Jesus Came Into My Heart In Bed.

        I worked at church camp and the most creativity the staff ever showed with hymn lyrics was singing “I want to know You/I want to touch Your face” unctuously and with suggestive eyebrows. I commend you.

          We had another one. Should I wait until another opportunity arises to slip it into comments on a marginally relevant post, or should I reveal it here?
          Aw, heck. Any title with the word ‘heart’, substitute ‘fart’. It is left as an exercise to the reader to find the best ones.

      2. Unreadaethel +11

        The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns in Bed.
        See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph in Bed
        Lord, I Want You to Touch Me in Bed
        Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah in Bed

        “Between the Sheets” is an acceptable alternative.
