A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

The glass has been superimposed?
Yeah it has! Against my LIPS to recieve the contents into my gullet and eventually through my liver.
Livers! Bah! Highly overrated is what I says.
JOB
Very effete.
Yup, and the un own the leff’s got itself six toes own it, too…
We keeps the family tree well pruned ’round these parts, yah see.
(Sniff.)

You are so very welcome! And huge thanks to you and yours for a spectacular time in (on?) the compound.
If it’s left-wing it’s a complex, if it’s right-wing it’s a compound.
(Is that joke a repeat, where’s Angelico when you need him?)
At your service, sir.
You have not told this joke in the past year.
But I wasn’t a regular reader before late July/early August 2011, so we’ll need to ask someone else whether or not you told the joke before then.
CNB? Rufus?
P.S. I really like the way the lids screw on for travel. Bring ’em next time you pick us up from the airport.
A DEAL!
“And the train conductor says…”

So I’m thinking Gerasene ’13 should be held in October, but the problem with that is that it might be hard to drag children out of school. Thoughts? Feelings? Never too early to start planning with this crowd…
School? What is this thing you call school? Unless you mean some sort of abbreviation of the word “homeschool”….
(Hee hee.)
JOB
Summertime would normally work better for us, and I think Mister Lickona is posting this on purpose to draw me into a speculative conversation as to whether or not there will be another Walker Percy conference.
Probably easier for me, and other county employees too, to get time off in October. But, finances permitting (we’re not all in banking,you know) we can work it out.
FILED UNDER: CAUTION, IN ORDER THAT IT (THE LAPSED TIME) CAN BE SAVORED OF ITSELF, ISOLATING THE TIME SEGMENT WHICH HAS LAPSED, KIERKEGAARD, LIKE PEANUTS IN BRITTLE, THE RE-ENACTMENT OF PAST EXPERIENCE, TRAVELS AND VISITATIONS, WALKER PERCY, WITHOUT THE USUAL ADULTERATION OF EVENTS THAT CLOG TIME
TAGGED WITH: RESURRECTING THE PAST
If you’re not at Gerasene ’13, Angelico, you have only yourself to blame.
Hear, hear!
Aww, thanks! It is a consummation I dream devoutly of.
Deo volente, we’ll also manage to lure the Cubeland Mystic and his family out of their cave.
My children caught trout with their bare hands in the creek. If that’s not enough to pique Cubeland’s interest, I don’t know what is. And the grasshoppers fly up there in Wisconsin, so catching your dinner is an adventure!
Expat, are you sure there was ever a FIRST Walker Percy conference? I mean, can you point to some tangible proof, like conference proceeds or something? I mean, I know I photoshopped us all into a picture of Percy’s grave and everything, but come on now – an entire conference devoted to a minor twentieth-century novelist who accidentally won the National Book Award? Really now.
Sir, I learned how to drink gin. There was indeed a conference. Life-changing, really.
The glass has been superimposed?
Here’s one:
How is Lickona like school in the summertime?
He’s pretty much an unguarded target for tagging?
No, that’s a hockey game.
JOB
I like October. As a month. As a time for meetings. It’s not hot.
TAGGED WITH: MASON-IC CONSPIRACY
It’s a free country, isn’t it?
Yes: Fullwise free from thoughtcrime.
