The Lord is a Monkey

[threemeninaboat]

The pope has approved changes to mass. "While the changes are small, they are significant, since they present the Mass in more "elevated" language than before. Critics of the old translation, in place since the Second Vatican Council allowed for Mass to be celebrated in the "vernacular," argued that the English language translation was too conversational to be reverent."
"In answer to the familiar "The Lord be with you," the people will no longer say, "And also with you," but "And with your spirit.”"

Which reminds me of how Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey, Uncle Gabby (the child's version) speaks.
"Gadzooks! Zounds! A castle hanging in the clouds. A succulent starry palace. Crystalline halls. Sparkling corridors. Hmmm Dare I traipse through heaven's constellated wilderness?"

So the Almighty God of Abraham becomes a mischievous ape in my mind.

And I the flightless Drinky Crow, doomed to catch fire, propelled by the secret sauce, in an attempt to reach the Elysian Fields.

I know all about your so-called 'secret sauce': it's what you don't taste when you say "this isn't spicy!"

SOCK MONKEYS! Sorry, just sorta reflexive at this point.

We have sock monkey stenciled stuff up the ying-yang, and think final sock-monkey parts count is somewhere around 150+ monkey's worth?

Go go Kung Fu Sock Monkeys!

The Man burns in 2 weeks! ACK!!!!
