1. Blogging must be done on horseback
2. With a strangely warmed heart

Okay … my response here probably indicates that I need to pay attention to what my friend Joel has to say.  Check out his reflections on an “ethical framework” for blogging at the link below:

Wesley’s Rules for Blogging – Introduction | Unsettled Christianity.

I was annotating Leviticus today, and the meaning of 17:7 was readily apparent. Once you understand that Joel in his multiple personalities = the goat demons, you are on your way to understanding the text:

So they (people who have recently bought a book on mimetic criticism and the Gospel of Mark) shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices (this refers to the sacrifice of their intellect – see below) to goat demons (Joel L. Watts in his multiple personalities), after whom they whore (their whoredom consists of their sacrificing their intellects to the goat demons – Joel – by reading about Greek and mimes). This shall be a statute forever for them (said consumers) throughout their generations (the lifetime of Jeremy Thompson). Leviticus 17:7 pesher

In all seriousness, a belated congratulations to Joel on the publication of his new book!  I look forward to a trip with he and our respective families on his new yacht that he will buy with the proceeds.

I invite you into my home.  I cook a fabulous dinner for you … New Orleans style BBQ shrimp and smoked gouda grits, mind you.  I provide you with your choice from a sampling of Louisiana’s finest beers.  I give you king cake for dessert.

And THIS is what I get in return.  Shameful.  Outright shameful.

joel, i could never hold you as a role model considering who you like …

in bringing down Jim TWest.  We’ll just call him my “Pennsylvania correspondent” to preserve his anonymity.  He, in fact, provided an important piece in the puzzle when equating Jim’s posts to tweets:

“But in making a parenthetical comment about the usefulness of twitter for sharing useful articles and information between colleagues it occurred to me that many of Jim’s posts likely fall within the 140 character limit and often function in the same manner as twitter.”

This allowed us to demonstrate Jim’s duplicity by tweeting Jim’s blog response from his own blog.  It was very shortly after that Jim began to cave under the pressure …

Joel just posted on Twitter that he was about to take a nap.  So, I thought I’d post a picture of the shirt he likes to nap in and wear around the house.  I wouldn’t know … Mark Stevens told me.

Well, not really … nothing really changed at all.  Jim is still angry.  Joel is still a dufus.  And, all is right with the world … unless you’re Jim, then everyone’s depraved and there’s very little right with the world.

Anyway, I’m hoping to pick my blogging back up a bit and I’m working on another blog project now that I’ll announce shortly.  #1 BiblioBlogger slot here I come … if you’re into that sort of thing.

The world would be a much better, smarter place. Spare us all!!!
