Dunno about getting out of actual hell once you're in there, but I sure sprang a ton of holy souls out of purgatory with me pair of rosary beads when I was a youth. I seem to recall that certain days in the church calendar were held to be more fruitful for this purpose than others. I secretly prayed to the liberated souls that they would return the favour when I eventually found myself banged up in purgatorial clink. I'll gladly do the same for anyone down here who's nice to me while I'm still here. It's a benign system that the Big Boss operates - as long as you know the right people. And it don't cost a bean!
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

Oooh, Simony--a special sin, named after little ol' ME!

You shouldn't have.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Perhaps you spoke too fast...the full name of the sin, per the web page, is "simple simony." Are you sure you want to own that?
:wink:

Met a piemony ... What the hell is a "piemony"? Are you sure you have that first line right? :boggle:

Not to worry. It's, like, a poststructural rhyme scheme. :lol:

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Is that similar to when you Simonize your car? :D

I give myself to indulgence plenty enough already. My ten bucks is already allocated, thank you. :D

Hey, I'm an ordained minister, so I ought to be able to issue these things. Plus, cranberry made me pope some time back, so it should carry the weight of papal authority as well. With that in mind, I grant to all who post in this thread the following --

"By the authority of all the saints, and in mercy towards you, I absolve you from all sins and misdeeds and remit all punishments for ten days."

The first ten days are free -- kind of like an introductory offer. Any more will cost you.

Pax vobiscum, dudes and dudesses, and let us pray --

O sibili cedem go
Fortibuses ina ro.
O nobili dimis trux.
Vatis enim? Caus en dux.

I'd like to see

Do Not Pass Go
Do Not Collect Eternal Salvation

Apparently you were brought up with Strychnos and discipline.
