Brothers and Sisters:

The Order has noted with sorrow the apology of our brother-with-a-small-B punkfolkrocker.

Therefore, in order to ease your lives and allow you to proceed in your devotions without guilt, you may confess your sins here and select such penance as you feel fit from the list below. This will also be considered your apology for whatever it is you feel the need to apologize for.

Remember: list your particular sin and choose your own penance.

This is another Service to the Mudcat Cafe from the Order of the Golden Globes.

Brother Florian Agape, OGG.

Choose one and be sure to finish your penance.

1. Sip a glass of good wine while contemplating the Golden Globes of your choice.
2. Say three Our Fathers, Three Hail Marys, and three Glory Bes.
3. Vote for an incumbent.
4. Flog yourself until your Personal Flogger is limp.
5. Something else of your choice.

I'm not sorry for anything, and for that I sincerely apologize.


As penance, I shall abstain from abstinence until I begin to grow palms on my hair.


By the way, I almost phrased the preceding sentence "...until such time as I begin..." but it occurred to me that I don't really know when "such time" is. I know when lunch time is, when tea time is, and when quittin' time is, but not such time. Anyone have any idea?

If I did anything I'm sorry for, I'm glad of it.

You all seem even sorrier than some of the DC area sports teams I've rooted for in my lifetime, but still I'll forever waive my pennance, high, and shout out a cheer in the immortal words of the late great Carl Perkins:

"GO CAT, GO!"

...and root for you all like a hog rooting for acorns, with the chants of a lifetime that you all may someday be able to be redeemed, hopefully for cash prizes!

So Forgive For Giveness' Sake!

Yesterday a couple of my neighbors and I were talking about the fact that most of the lilac trees in town have sparse blossoms this spring. One of the neighbors said that he's under the impression that lilacs have alternate years of heavy loads and rest.

The other neighbor - who is an avid gardener whose yard is dense with color and greenery - said that she is so glad to hear that. She went to Catholic school, she said, and she really thought that somehow she had caused it by either giving her tree too much of something or not enough.

It would be interesting - if appalling - to hear what goes on - used to go on? - to those little minds in those schools.

I choose 5 too.   A headache and a day in bed.    B.Y.O.

In WA it always used to be BYOG, but I guess the word 'grog' has gone from current usage.

Such time a time of your own choosing. You can put it off indefinitely if you like. It's a very useful phrase. "I shall be bad until SUCH TIME as I choose to stop". If you said you would be stopping at lunch time, you'd have a definite cut off point, but stopping at such time means you can go on as long as you like!
