Away: I bind unto myself today
The strong Name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same
The Three in One and One in Three.
The strong Name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same
The Three in One and One in Three.
Away: Incidentally, if you look really closely at the Zapruder film - it's grainy, I know - you'll see, on the far right side of the grassy knoll, a little white-haired German in a red cardinal's outfit, wearing a swastika armband, waving a rifle and shouting what appears to be: "We will not be ordaining women any time soon."
Away: Long live the Pope! His praises sound
Again and yet again:
His rule is over space and time;
His throne the hearts of men:
All hail! the Shepherd King of Rome,
The theme of loving song:
Let all the earth his glory sing,
And heav’n the strain prolong.

Away: Look, you can't do something if you can't spell it. That's why most of us are allowed to drive a car or date rock stars but not allowed to give an electroencepheloghram......electriensephologram...... brain scan thingy.
Away: Never fly kites in thunderstorms.
Don't fly kites in places where someone may get hurt.
Don't fly near airfields or roads.
Shade your eyes from the radiance of the sun.

Away: Poor Grimace
Away: Richmond Heights has a grass ordinance in effect. Homeowners must ensure that their lawns do not surpass the maximum height of six (7) inches for grass and weeds.
Away: Since I tend toward subconscious masochism, I joined a Space Anglican monastery, Space Order of Saint O____, baker, penitent, and guardian of moon hermits, whose name , being alien, cannot be pronounced by us humans.
Away: Spiders
Away: The Apophatic Workbook: A Fill-in-the-Blanks Theology Manual -- 240 empty pages give an encyclopedic treatment of all we know about the apophatic nature of God.
Away: "The Church is not a thing like the Athenaeum Club," he cried." If the Athenaeum Club lost all its members, the Athenaeum Club would dissolve and cease to exist. But when we belong to the Church we belong to something which is outside all of us which is outside everything you talk about, outside the Cardinals and the Pope. They belong to it, but it does not belong to them. If we all fell dead suddenly, the Church would still somehow exist in God."
Away: God has given us emotions so we can have barometer to gauge what is going on in our lives. For instance, if you feel happy, something good probably just happened. If you feel frightened, then something scary is going on.
Away: You've always said real estate is the one commodity that they're not making any more of, which is one reason why the world's volcanoes are out to get you.
Away: Conservative Leadership Association discussion topic for Thursday:
Campus hippies and what can be done about them.
Campus hippies and what can be done about them.
Away: Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, cloned by a German Jewish genetic scientist Alex Rosenthal, lives in present-day Moscow surrounded by loving elder brothers - the clones of Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Mussorgsky and Wagner - the latter, played by a woman.
Mozart falls in love with a prostitute. In an apparent reference to the real Mozart's death legend, her furious pimp puts rat poison into vodka during the engagement party, killing all the siblings.
However, Mozart survives and regains consciousness in hospital.

Away: Buy two televisions or do without the man. No woman who can squeeze into a pair of trousers should be with a man who hogs the remote. It's emotional violence and mental cruelty. It means your life is not under your control. I don't want to control a man but neither do I want to be controlled.
Away: It is impossible to be just to the Catholic Church. The moment men cease to pull against it they feel a tug towards it. The moment they cease to shout it down they begin to listen to it with pleasure. The moment they try to be fair to it they begin to be fond of it.
Away: Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.
Away:
Awake, thou wintry earth--
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
Christ is risen.
Awake, thou wintry earth--
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
Christ is risen.
Away: Anti-Pope!
Away: Address on Bees
Away: A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Away: A LifeGem is a certified, high quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique and wonderful life.
Away: "...For myself, I am Priestachu because of my electrical powers of making connections and shorting out arguments. I will leave the others to stake their claim. I also enjoy the fact that Priestachu gains even more powers when he evolves into Bishopchu..."

Away: no fruit for spong
Away: They declared that we are all careering through space, clinging to a cannon-ball, and the poets ignore the matter as if it were a remark about the weather. They say that an invisible force holds us in our own armchairs while the earth hurtles like a boomerang; and men still go back to dusty records to prove the mercy of God.
Away: getting rid of the funny smell, then hanging out in the center of all coolness, the EPSc computer lab.
Away: Be assured that you are among the most promising and gifted young scholars to come along in many years. We each considered reviewing your application a great privilege. Everyone was touched by it: several faculty members changed their thinking on one or two important issues as a result; a few were changed forever; one is certain that she caught a glimpse of the beatific vision. None of us will ever be the same again.
Away: ...(at this point, not only am I wielding Occam's Razor, but I'm slinging it over my head, screaming "Blood and souls for my lord Arioch!" at the top of my lungs)...

Away: Very few people in the world would care to listen to the real defense of their own characters. The real defense, the defense which belongs to the Day of Judgment, would make such damaging admissions, would clear away so many artificial virtues, would tell such tragedies of weakness and failure, that a man would sooner be misunderstood and censured by the world than exposed to that awful and merciless eulogy.
Away: EXILE RENEGRADE SPACESHIP captain seeks experienced, plucky, discreet pilot. No robots need apply. Pay negotiable. Email resume to spaceshipcaptain@hotmaill.com.

Away: You might think it's funny, but it's disrespectful to submit write-in candidates like "Don Knotts," "Mickey Mouse," or "Michael Badnarik."
Away: Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the bounty killers appeared.
