More's the pity, Pericles... a sentiment shared by Fr. Michael Fitzpatrick. Or was it Fr. Patrick Fitzmichael?

Dear Pericles,

There are many beautiful young asses in Brisbane. Often they are covered by jeans unlike the one in Madras.

There was a young lady from Madras
Who had a most beautiful ass,
But it wasn't pink
As you might think.
But brown, had long ears and ate grass.

Pericles, I do not agree with your observation about the absence of asses.

On Sundays, you find them in buildings run by religious institutions and they come in all ages and sizes. Their eyes are agog and they take in the words of men wearing dresses and making strange movements with their hands!

Asses abound. More the pity!

Graham your attitude has changed, if I had commented with anything half as strong as the criticism of your beloved Catholic Church in this article you would have banned me for life, perhaps you've woken up at last, it seams even that well known "Catholic Bugle" of the ABC Geraldine Doogue is wavering. You "banned" me for a whole WEEK, I was lost, anguished, wandering about wondering just what will I do with my self, where will I go, what oh what do I do to make up for the time I could not spend "trolling" as you put it. I had a good laugh be cause frankly I could'n care less about OLO, EUREKA, or that other Catholicspeak site, what is rather unfair, you do know what that means don't you? is your claim of "abuse" you refused me the right of reply, and a tag is beside my name that is false, the subject of my comment at the time was a female trying to promote an image of her self that was at least 40 years younger and fawning over actor Johnie Depp, that she was old enough to be his grandmother shows the sick sexual attitude of some Catholics, in defense of her religion she claimed "60000 Catholics can't be wrong" she has appeared on a TV program crying because the Commonwealth Bank wanted it's THREE and a HALF MILLION DOLLARS BACK because her "development" scheme went bad, the article she put in this site was just plan silly and factual wrong, but you took no notice and made stupid derogatory statements about me because I dared to "critic" her work. you have ether changed "full circle" or you just singled me out.

It amazes me that for a new Pope to be given accolades as a saint and wonderful person all he has to do is do what the rest of us have to do every day: cook your own dinner, travel on the bus, carry your own bags and pay for your own hotel bill.

>>Where is a modern-day member of the clergy going to find a suitable young ass in Sydney?

You simply don't come across them these days<<

And that's the voice of someones who been out looking.

Still it would be really "silly" to generalize from ones own lack of success.

Perhaps it's just that no one is in the market for what you have on offer Pericles.
