make a joyful noise

Sasha Volokh says “Sunday is also Take A Friend Target-Shooting Day” (responding to his brother’s having done so on Tuesday). Hear hear.

In or about 1995-6 I had this conversation:

Seth: “Is Vince there?”
Anton: “He’s not back from church yet.”
Seth: “He goes to church??”
Anton: “He goes to the target range every Sunday.”

Vince was tickled, and ever since he has spoken of “services at the shrine of Saint Ayn,” etc. One day he mentioned this running joke to one of the range safety officers, who said, “Well, the Good Book says you should make a joyful noise unto the Lord!”
