He has passed on the "Let's Offend" torch, apparenty.

There are works of art, and then there are masterpieces. I am overwhelmed with hero-worship over this one:

I would tell you why I am offended, your blatant J_____ H______, but then I would be guilty of J_____ H______. Though the real hosts... (No, that does not work. Calling them "real" lends them a gravitas not fitting here. The picture of AA laying unconscious on the floor, red nose askew. Size humongous blue and yellow shoes pointing at the ceiling, where he fell in an intoxicated stupor after his nightly binge of candy floss and circus peanuts, takes away any dignity he might have otherwise had. I have heard the other two are even worse.)
Though the actual hosts of the circus might be offended by such and the last thing I wish is to offend anyone on this thread.

In Hell, Zappa started a thread about his sister-in-law's choir not being allowed to sing at St. Andrews, Sydney, unless their entire program was in English. For context, here's how Zappa started his OP:

"Okay: it's the Diocese of Sydney again. Indeed it's a Jensen again..."

Albertus then made this Quotes File worthy post:

Well, thanks! [Big Grin] My second ever entry in the quotes file, both as it happens nominated from the San Francisco Bay area.

Here's a rather beauatiful one from pyx_e over on the 'CofE is wonderful' thread

quote:
In this land it is pretty much hated and envied by all other denominations, not high enough, low enough, sound enough, forever bickering like some dystopian Waltons. Its clergy are weird, its laity not much better. And yet there it is huge, everywhere and able to call the common people better that they ever can, just by being there.

Some benevolent behemoth that stumbles on while outrageous stones are slung too often by our brothers and sisters. Yet at every Selection Panel I can guarantee half a dozen who have left other denominations as they mature spiritually begging to join the good old despised C of E. Why? I ask them, structure, maturity of leadership and being more than one strand while holding all (well most) strands together, which just reflects God more in its mess than pretty much everything else.

Full of beauty and too often vileness, doing so much left handed good that the right hand never sees. Truly wonderful, shame on you who call that which is good evil. It is Saving the ordinary in ordinary ways. Like it saved me.

ken in fine flow in Ecclesiantics, explaining why the CofE is better at big events than TEC (and going into Norwegian football commentary mode at the end):

quote:
Because we is British.

That is what we do.

We are the world champions of impressive and apparently milldy obsolete ceremonial and pageantry (even if most of it was invented between about 1840 and 1910)

We also have Bonfire, coronations, cricket (makes more sense considered as a ritual invocation of nature spirits than as a sport), genuine marching pipers in kilts (as opposed to fake ones who can only play "Amazing Grace"), investitures, military tatoos, more elaborate university graduations than you do (and the speeches are less likely to turn into tedious pap talks), morris dancing, traditional naval reviews (even without Turbinia), proper football fans with proper traditional chants and occasional genuine blood, real horse racing (American racing has those silly tantantaras, yeuchhhh, and the boring flat circular dirt tracks, and a general lack of royalty, real ale, drunken farmers, and corporate hospitality tents full of skimpily dressed PR women), Remembrance Day, shinier massed bands, state funerals, Orange Marches the size of a planet, the best ever flypasts (a Vulcan, a Lancaster, and two Spitfires flying in formation and Concorde flew overhead - beat that!), the Changing of the Guard, the Lord Mayor's Show, the State opening of Parliament, Trooping the Colour, Maggie Thatcher, Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana, and much much more!

Next the rattle is discarded for a squeeze-bulb horn and they can only be put to sleep by the sound of a calliope. Later you find clown magazines tucked under the mattress and they leave the flat dressed normal but with baggy dotted trousers, big shoes and greasepaint stuck in their rucksacks. Oh then they'll want a Messershmidt and tell you it is to save petrol and that it is cute. But as soon as they get 'round the corner, they will stuff in 10 of their friends then drive in circles whilst scrambling in and out. Then they end up hosting silly games and naming themselves after refridgerators. Is this what you wish for your children? [Disappointed]

I really just need to start following her around. On the Ship, I mean.

I think it's much healthier to adopt some of the Jewish tradition's way of wrestling with the Scriptures (e.g., midrash, and the rabbinic tradition of balancing multiple points of view). Like Jacob with the angel, we should engage with them until they bless us, even if we leave the scene limping.

Beautiful.

Come to my desk". They didn't do prisoners, those Christian Brothers.

That it should come to this, a time when 1337 and txtspk have evolved, and the nearest most students could get to defining conjugation would be a guess about marital rights, which they'd probably write as rites.

I envy you your refuge behind the barricades (cue Spandau Ballet). Perhaps I'll join you, and we can take the air, in a tobacco trance..

(*Public service bit: as people often find it hard to discern whether they are joyless shits, here's a test:

If you have noticed that quite a lot of people are rather enjoying the Olympics, and that actually makes you happy regardless of whether you want to watch the sports yourself, then you aren't.

If it does not make you noticeably more happy that thousands of people are having a good time, then I'm afraid you are a joyless shit, whether you recognise it or not.

That still applies even if you are pretending to yourself that you would be happy for the rest of us if it were not for the expense, or sponsorship, or inconvenience, or whatever. Those excuses are just another symptom of being a joyless shit - you can tell that they are excuses by recognising that the personal inconvenience to you of the Games is in fact so utterly trivial that you would endure it ten times over if it pleased someone that you actually cared about (assuming you do care about anyone else, that is) and therefore it would not stop you from being happy about other people's pleasure if you were not a joyless shit. There's no cure, and it's mildly contagious, so do the rest of us a favour and put yourself in quarantine.)

I don't know why, but many of the best quotes come from the Hell board.

For the record, I am not a joyless shit. Eliab's test proves it. There should be a "Seal of Approval" available...

You're hilarious, Firenze.

OK, after a bit of thought I'm going to post this, from the Where does a person go when they die? thread in Keryg:

Yeah, I know I'm supposed to be put down by this, but it really made me laugh, and it's very clever:

Never in the field of internet chatter has so much been written by one person and read by so few.

There is - they are called teenagers.

Quotes File is a good start for this one; I think it ultimately needs to wind up on a commemorative gold plaque:

Ariston wanders around in his clown pyjamas, thinking himself a dishwasher; Kelly types half her posts with her nose as she is restrained in a straight jacket; Syllie acts a combination of Cyrano de Bergerac and Don Quioxte. We have a nutter who thinks herself a wailing spirit or gaseous emission, another who thinks she is a penguin! She jumps in the neighbors' pool, splashing about, naked save for black and white paint, then wanders town begging for fish! Really quite embarrassing. The saddest is the geez, um, pensioner who thinks himself an ex-pat in India. Spends his days sitting atop his toy elephant, reliving the days of the Raj. Though, to be fair, he might have been there, given his age...
Anyhow, this place is a veritable asylum, and you say might end in madness. [Disappointed]

*Excepting, of course, myself.

In honor of a certain hyper-inflated media shitstorm involving billiards, Tortuf puts his thang down, by way of the Song of Songs:

quote:
Originally posted by Tortuf:
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his cue—
for his love is more delightful than wine.
Pleasing is the fragrance of his perfume;
his name is like a rack broken apart.
No wonder the young women love him!

Take me away with you—let us Harry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.

Chorus:
We rejoice and delight in him;
we will praise his love more than wine.

How right they are to adore you!

Shy am I, yet lovely,
a daughter of Albion,
taught like the bieze on the table.

Do not stare at him because,
he is darkened by the florescent glow.

His mother’s guards were angry with him.

You can take him home in your minds;
our own vineyards we may neglect.

Tell us, you whom we love,
where you graze your cock
and where you rest your ship at midday.

Keeping the different breeds in different pens, cannot mix the fundamentalist with the RCCs, the fundamentals will turn rabid. Different feeds for each, unleavened wafers and wine for the RCCs, the High church CofEs demanding battenberg... I will have to confess I lost a few at first. That was embarrassing. Turns out they do not flush like goldfish. Father was quite peeved at needing to call the plumber. I did have such fun playing with them, though. Learned bunches about debate. Also about pointless diatribe.
Well it is over now, I realize keeping such pets is not the best thing. Though they do not seem capable of functioning on their own, I do worry they might injure themselves or each other. I shall release them seperately, in different areas.
Do any of you know of wildlife rehabilitation facilities which might be able to help them prepare for independence?
