Fr Finnegan across the pond

Fr Sean Finnegan of Valle Adurni has been in Canada and in the USA - in San Diego, in fact. He has some very entertaining posts on impious pelicans, baseball and an extraordinary form wedding, for example.

While in San Diego, he has met up with the legendary Karen (Gem of the Ocean) who took him to Seaworld where, in addition to sharks, he experienced jumbalaya and smoked vegetables. Perhaps the Mulier Fortis should go to San Diego. She never eats vegetables but might be persuaded to smoke them...

:-D She'd be welcome. People smoke a lot of strange things out here! She'd blend right in.

...only if one doesn't have to inhale...

LOL! I can't believe you said that. ;-)

Mac - go for the filter tipped variety, I'm told this reduces the nasties in the smoke so you can inhale (just a bit maybe)- yetch, I wonder what inhaled broccoli smoke tastes like - no I don't want to know really, I burnt and inhaled the smoke from countless poor vegetables thinking back to my scouting days (in my yoof) when it was my turn in the kitchen, everything cooked over an open fire, most of our food was cremated never mind smoked!!!!

I'm sure Bill Clinton would be glad to give you lessons! You don't have to hoover them up your nostrils, at least.

NOt so good news is that the notorious Feminist Rosemary Radford Reuther has just been given a chair at San Diego University. Could Father Finnegan have a word with her before he leaves.

“Rosemary Radford Reuther”, the alliteration in that name always makes me giggle, especially when you look at this online meaning for the word “illiteration”:

1. (n.) Any scattering of similiar sounds in sentences which are nonsensical, hence making them seem illiterate.
Origins: From illiterate. Somewhat related to the word alliteration.

That just about sums thing up! But seriously, where do these feminist scholars get their names? Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza… Phyllis Trible… Their names are as entertaining as their writings!

Ponte sisto - you forget to mention Lavinia Byrne!

Ponte Sisto said...

Yes, but the only fun you can have with Dr Byrne's name is to recall what Olive from "On the Busses" used to call the WC!

I'm getting horribly personal here, sorry!
