Vicar of the Sweetheart City

Where’s the lie?

My favorite* quote from "Silence" is "Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt."

*favorite is a weird word in this context, but I don't have another one.

The religion nerds were all like "who is that sitting next to Kate Bowler" at the Duke game.

It's a genetic disorder, as far as I can tell.

“On purpose”? Are you sure you didn’t mean to walk 8?

Good takes make good takers.

Like I can hear Bruce popping his ps on "Jungleland".

I take that back. This is a very inconsistently produced album.

But you already knew that because of the Mike Appel / Jon Landau drama.

Ok, you could probably play an average pressing of "Born to Run" (the album) through bluetooth speakers and not tell much difference.

Because once you really hear what Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar are doing on "She's Already Made Up Her Mind" you don't want to hear it scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked.

This is what buying a pre-amp that matches your amplifier looks like.

Don't leave before the miracle

98% of me is all "different people do different things"and 2% has no earthly idea why someone would buy records just to play them through bluetooth speakers.

Do you think seeing the sunrise at 9:00am in December will be a particular problem?

Preferable to "Attack! At the cardiologist."

Why does all the reporting on the State of the Union treat this as a normal, predictable time in politics?

Now, I don't claim
To be an A-postle
But I'm trying to be
'Cause maybe by being
An A-postle witness
I could show the love of Jeeeesus

Take the number of slots available and divide that by the number of days before the first slot. Multiply that by the Golden Number and that's the total hours after the next new moon that you must wait.

What's so great about the Litany?

Tombstone pizza

Barth speaks of this.

Y'all ever notice that the priest does not actually pronounce absolution in the Ash Wednesday liturgy?

I'm fixing to be the Anglican Communion's leading expert on best use cases, liturgical and otherwise, for mayonnaise. Would anyone like to be in the top 5?

Wait till they find out what Jeff Lynne was doing before the Wilburys.

Wait, what's the problem?

You're welcome to borrow mine if you need to.

I’m amazed that none of these curlers has fallen flat on their butt.

Robert Duvall, a Chameleon of an Actor Onscreen and Onstage, Dies at 95

I mean, it's hard to justify wanting to keep a 95 from passing through the veil, but also, dammit.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Imagine adding several layers of brocaded fabric. 😂
