Rick, 'Spaw, I guess my position in the gang of 12 is Exalted Primate of the Mudcat Religion, which puts me right down there with Factotum of the Tavern Spitoon. I'll never get a really low number because I can't pick up a a potato with my cheeks or give birth to a pair of possoms*. Every now and then I undergo a regression to a past life, that of preacher's son, and I compulsively undertake things like walking the extra mile and turning the other cheek (on my face, 'Spaw), and although it has been about four decades since any of the matters of faith associated with them made any sense to me, I still hang onto such things--and other ideas like offering forgiveness seven times seven times seven times, and something like the above message to Gargoyle bursts through.

*Speaking of which, I haven't seen much of their mother, the Blessed Barbara lately--ya been awfully quiet, Santa Barbara.
