The Bigs

You should all be reading the bigs. If not for anything other than for the occasional amazing post that frames everything inside of a quaint Victorian intellectual conceit.

But read them. You know who they are, even though you never put them in your blogrolls. They are the Urquelle of the blogo-sphere. Come clean. Lose the ego. Wash away the sin of narcissism[1]. We all stand on the shoulders of giants and it is dishonest and unhealthy to act otherwise.

(I guess I am making two points - one meta and one the concretion of reality and metaphor. Take from them what you will.)

[1] If there is one thing I know about, it's sin. And the sin of omission is sin enough for me. Be warned.

- Eze 3:26

In the service of his lord, the idolator spake, "Father, you said the truth will set us free. We know the truth is out there, and the truth is that the other side is lying, unbelievably lying. ... God, we ask you to close their mouths."


I think I won another one with the good Reverend Leake. They sell themselves so cheaply sometimes. This one so he could bask for a few minutes in the Alaskan pretender's reflected glory.

Rev. Leake is going to need some pretty high SPF to keep from burning where he's going.

Bonus Proverb:
"He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall"
- Pro 10:10

Fallen

I'm curious about the large spiders
that have been ferrying leaves
down the house outside my window.
They smile their evil grins
as they go by.
