BS: Patron Sinners

Subject: BS: Patron Sinners
From: Dave Hanson

The other day I was looking at Ed Pickfords website, in his tribute song to Matt McGinn Ed called him the Patron Sinner of Glasgow, this set me thinking why not have ' Patron Sinners ' as well as patron saints fo everywhere and everything. The ones which sprang to mind were: Patron Sinner of Scotland Billy Connolly, Patron Sinner of Ireland Brendan Behan and Patron Sinner of alcohol, a draw between Oliver Reed and Richard Harris.
What can you all think of.

Les Barker may be the Patron Sinner of classical poetry but he is, without doubt, the Patron Saint of Uncontrollable, Side-Splitting Laughter. A genius.

Would this be the same person albeit with a slightly different name who is the Patron Sinner of school playground sweet and drink thieves, namely Margaret the Milk Snatcher?

Thatcher the Snatcher? She was the inspiration for my glasses.

We can't keep on using the whole word - sinner should be abbr 2 Sr (pronounced Sru )

Patron Sinner of Buggeration Factors - Sr Murphy
Patron Sinner of Axes - Sr Beeching (one for the oldies there)
Patron Sinner of Saints - Prof John (anyone heard from Maglan lately?)

Which reminds me....

Was proud of his daughter's virignity
They must have been dawdlin'
Done at old Magdalene
It could never have happened at Trinity.

Ozzy Osborne ought to have patron sinner status, but I'm not sure of what.
Jerry Springer could be patron sinner of television, and Cincinnatti Ohio. He was mayor of Cincinnatti, as was my great grandfather. His name is on the same list as a membor of my family. This disturbs me greatly.

I have an accordion too, but don't know how to play it. It needs some new reeds anyhow.

Now, if I could fiddle and belly dance at the same time, that might be somethin.................

Yeah, I'm with ced2. Let's stop with the jokes about accordians. I mean just because the cat lovers think someone is strangling their pets is no reason to pick on accordian players. Ease off, will ya?

I think Maximon in Guatemala fits this description. You will occasionally see his shrines, and the offerings people have made to him of his favorite items - liquor and cigarettes. I was told that he's the one to ask if you want power, revenge, luck in gambling, etc. But he will always exact a price - you won't know what it is until you have to pay.

Sarah Palin ought to achieve patron sinner status, but I'm not sure for what.
Then there's Glenn Beck.
Lawyers need a patron sinner but it's hard to think who to nominate, there's so many candidates.

Hee hee, my can was kind of growling at the other cat the way she does, and I was holding her, so I made accodrion motions and it did play the growling cat, we thought it was funny.

I just love the patron sinner idea.

Patron Saint of Lost Things = St. Jude, I believe...
Patron Sinner of lost things = Sr. Alzheimer? No, not right.

Hmmm.

Patron sinner of democracy = Sr Quaddafi? That's more like it, and he'd hate it!
