Me (Erik)

“Gambrinous with griffonage?” Gambrinous is an obscure word meaning “being full of beer.” Illegible handwriting is known as “griffonage.” My handwriting has always been horrible, and much more so when I am drunk. Neither of which has anything to do with why I blog. Actually, the alcohol might have something to do with that…. I do this because I thought I would share the wanderings on which my mind takes me. And because I feel like torturing others.

The Reason We Protest - Sister Unity on Repeal Prop 8

Not my style, but it’s the message that matters. And it’s said much better than I could say it.

I “borrowed” this from Erik over at The Electronic Replicant.

Oh… and I like her eyelashes.

Until next time…
Erik

    The message is dead-on. I do love the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence though - they’re the finger in the eye of society.

    I share your sentiments Erik. Let’s hope today’s nationwide protest on Proposition 8 (”Fight the H8″) opens more eyes.

    Succinct and no bullshit message. But the eyelashes are distractingly funny.

    My brother was a Sister back in the late 70s here in Toronto. Comparing the Sisters back then to the order now is like comparing the original Star Trek series to JJ Abrams reworking.

    They didn’t do a lot of makeup back then, mostly beards and moustaches and odd accessories. He use to wear red long johns under his wimple in the winter and flash them constantly.

    Eyelashes are distracting. I wonder how long it took to put that makeup on. Well spoken though and the bag pipes add a nice touch.
