And a small, fleshy head.

There is a dead parrot sketch, to be sure. But I seem to remember plenty of dead cat references all over Python, as well as the old lady beating the dirt from her rugs with a live cat in Grail.

[Petronski]

Mrs. Conclusion (Chapman): Hullo, Mrs. Premise.
Mrs. Premise (Cleese): Hullo, Mrs. Conclusion.
Conclusion: Busy Day?
Premise: Busy? I just spent four hours burying the cat.
Conclusion: *Four hours* to bury a cat?
Premise: Yes - it wouldn't keep still.
Conclusion: Oh - it wasn't dead, then?

My favorite movie in 1974 (at age six) was MPATHG. My mother saw it on Home Box Office (that's what we called it back then) and made me watch it. I have seen the movie way over 100 times and have it memorized (yes, the whole thing). You don't know MP nutballs until you talk to me.

They preferred to blow up cats in MPFC.

I seem to remember a dead cat with its mouth stuffed full of lupins.

you wrote: "They might as well re-name their church: The Liberal PC Gay Episcopal Church of no Biblical Beliefs... "

uhm, in some areas, if you're around conservative Anglican clergy and you hear them refer to someone as being associated with "the church of what's happening now", they mean exactly what you said.

<< ..... Robinson got the Church to endorse not just his [Sodomy] but his narcissism. >>

Mark Steyn uses words the way the Holy Bible does.

Reverently -- and as though they mean something.

Thanks for the Ping, Pokes.

Needless to say, Bishop Robinson had no time for such pretzel logic. He cut to the chase. "I believe that God gave us the gift of sexuality so that we might express with our bodies the love that's in our hearts,"

,,, along with the gift of sexuality, He gave me a built in GPS. It tells me second hole down from the back of the neck. An anus can never be a vagina if you're in touch with the Bible. It's it and that's that. Believe it or not, I'm able to express the love in my heart quite often for many people, without the use of sexuality. What a concept!

Robinson is so far off the track of love for one's brother that it's perfect material for a sick comedy. What we are talking about here is same sex sexual gratification wrapped up in warm fuzzy, committed nuturing and capped with human rights. It's common to cut to the chase when you're holding the knife that's at the cutting edge of a desperate agenda.
