An Interesting Preposition

Spam Observations #23
Wilson Roman sent me an email this morning that began:
Subject: shame of sex? we can change it
I believe Wilson was wanting to sell me some kind of drug to give me an erection rather than offering to turn me into a woman. Once again, we have an illustration of why you ought to finish your schooling even if you are intent on embarking on a career of low-rent scamming.

The Reverend’s Easter Message

[13] Comments
Once upon a time a very long time ago, there was a man who may or may not have been real, but who stood for good things and went through some hard times.
Over many years, the legend of this man has grown and grown until today when many millions of people are unable (or unwilling) to think rationally about what this man’s real place in history might have been, and if his philosophies and actions do indeed have any relevance to today’s world.
Much has been written about this man and indeed, many major motion pictures have been made about his story, some of them quite controversial indeed.
This weekend many people stop to reflect on the life of this man and his loyal followers, fugitives all, who fled the law of the day and lived in great risk in order to bring light into the lives of common people.
Yes, I am of course talking about Robin Hood.
Well, the chocolate bunnies and eggs WOULD MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE IF I WAS!
Now c’mon you Christians, explain the bunnies & eggs. Without recourse to pagan fertility symbolism. I dare you.
Out of curiosity I did a Google search for “chocolate crucifix” as research for this post, and found that, well, there just aren’t that many options. It seems that while Christians are quite willing to accept chocolate pagan symbols into their festival, Jesus and the crucifixion don’t make the grade. This seems extremely peculiar, given the level of other Christian tack available out there…

Birds of a Feather?

More from my special mystery guest:
April 13, 2006,
No! I must not yield to frail human weakness lest I fail
To quell those demons that would fall on me with sharpened tooth and claw.
Though I surely might erase my pain in Bacchus’ sweet embrace
I must resist and turn my face again to matters evermore
Jejune, prosaic, tiresome and certain to ensure
The kind of gossip I deplore…
My neighbour in the garret has this week acquired a parrot
Or some other feathered creature – I am not entirely sure,
But its raucous Harpy shrieking, as he tries to get it speaking
Sets my shattered nerves to creaking, and it rubs my patience raw;
The screeching shrill viaticum that filters through the floor
Strangely sounds like ‘Nevermore’!

Still Life with Prowler

Hey team: you can now go and see the final Prowler lovingly finished in glorious watercolour over at Bearskin Rug. Kevin has managed to render every last creepy detail perfectly. Say hi to him while you’re there (Kevin, that is, not the Prowler. Don’t talk to the Prowler. It will turn out badly).
