In reply to: Dr. Fennel 's message, "The Vicar of Tumbridge-Downs is not just stupid. He is unbelievably, astronomically stupid. Given the range and unpredictability of human behavior, it is quite possible that the Vicar of Tumbridge-Downs is the picture of the insane person on the street, babbling to a tree, a wall, or a cloud, which cannot and does not respond to his jokes." on 09:11:41 05/02/02 Thu

Episcopalians have an annual Derby outreach ministry, supplying infusions of 18 y.o. Glen Morangie single malt scotch as an antidote to those who have overdosed on mint juleps. Of course the cr�me de la cr�me is no longer in attendance: the middle-classes have stormed the Bastille; Babbits sport top hats composed of pressed felt and cardboard; their fraus don faux-belle chapeaus garnished with a plastic ostrich feather; the good lumpen folk who used to tend the stables now sit in the stands, gibbering like gibbons. We curse Democracy and his louche bastard son, Unfettered Capitalism! We decry the insidious manifestations of meritocracy! Soon the reigns of Christendom will be turned over to Presbyterians and rabble who attend mega-churches in their Izod best, singing saccharine choruses in praise of their strip mall Deity! Alack! Winthrop, fetch the hounds and oil our blunderbuss: we shall pinprick our agita by drilling a poacher or two on the grounds.

RE: "we�ll shall reconnoitering" We are in our cups and cannot claim sovereignty over the King's tongue. Now if someone will help us truss up this dead poacher, we'll toodle to "The Cock and Arms" and if the publican proffers a pint of his bitterest ale we shall say him no nay. Pip-oh.

- Contrary to the Rousseauian ideal of the transparency of the general will to itself, if you want to make things worse, then wear the opprobrium of that decision. Think about it. You seem to believe that you "have a 'special' perspective on classism which carries with it a 'special' right to attack the very fabric of the ECCNA's stodgy ramblings. " First off, that's a lousy sentence.... -- Dr. Fennel, 09:22:29 05/04/02 Sat

- Yes, Mr. Pooky, it's been a coon's age. After Constable Bleetings catches us skinny-dipping in the Vicarage duck pond, we prefer to say, "Feets, do yo' stuff!" (NT) -- It wasn't such a bad persona. Well, here's to better days., 07:23:44 05/04/02 Sat
