    I suppose it's appropriate that the first entry in the new drawer should be from our esteemed captain - from the "Why did you join the Ship" thread in Purg:

    Indeed, it was around the time of the meteor hitting Yucatán disruptive poster whom ancient texts name as "Joanne" singlehandedly caused its implementation.

    Karl, you know as well as I do that there was no historical "Joanne". We believe in her by faith.

    I was so much hoping that 'body is required' was going to be an eschatology thread.

    From "The Library" by Stuart Kells. Text Publishing. Melbourne 2017.
    Sebastian Brandt's 1494 Ship Of Fools is a roll call of dunces, and the foremost dunce is the man who collects "useless books" he cannot read.
    Just thought you'd like to know.

    I don't often post outside Purgatory, so if this one isn't appropriate please delete it. Adeodatus on "Why did you join the Ship?"

    September 2003: the powers that be (were?) at Manchester Cathedral got themselves into a spot of bother with the LGBTQ community by uninviting Bishop Gene Robinson to an event. I joined the Ship to join the discussion. So I suppose I came for the homosexuality, stayed for the banter.

    another gem from The Library[ see above for details] :
    "membranaceous bijoux" .
    Used by 19th century bibliophile Thomas Frognall Dibdin to describe precious vellum bound books. I've been dying to use it in one of the word games, but after 3 days , no opportunity has presented itself.They don't write like that any more.
  • kingsfoldkingsfold Shipmate
    aliesh, I'm afraid you may be missing the point of this thread. The quotations of the title are those of our fellow shipmates we consider worthy of preserving for posterity due to their wit or irony or cleverness, rather than being quotes from learned tomes.

    Changing gears, I found this from @ThunderBunk just too profound to go unremarked:
    To my mind, faith is entirely itself: it shared characteristics with knowledge, relationships, inspiration, and gift, but it is all of those and more. To me, it's what grows when the received faith, coming through both the bible and the body of believers (i.e. the church), goes into an individual, takes root in them and dies. The last is the heart of the mystery, and to me is the key to why faith is both shared and intensely, irrevocably personal

    The problem with comments pages is they're like when the cat brings in a partially disemboweled mouse, you know closer examination will be truly disgusting but somehow your curiosity gets the better of you. Then you realise you can't unsee it and you knew what was there all along.

    Why shut the toilet? ... most important, is to avoid "toilet plume." That's the cloud forced up from the flushing action that contains small particles of water mixed with tiny particles of waste. ...

    It's the thought of living with an open toilet that deters me from criminal activity.

    And there's another law enforcement strategy I didn't know about...

    Kerygmania, meanwhile, is about the Bible and why it doesn't apply to us ;)
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    I could have sworn that "the Bible and why it doesn't apply to me" used to be the subtext under the main title of Kerygmania on the old boards. It doesn't seem to have been the last one used, but I'm sure it's not mine to own.

    Culinary optimism from Graven Image in All Saints:
    I enjoy reading cook books as they always have happy endings.

    although Pigwidgeon isn't quite so sure:
    You wouldn't think that if I actually cooked one of those recipes!

    I have this niggle at the back of my brain that says Mark Betts has already converted a number of times. Each time decrying the previous church and anyone still a member of that church; the new church is all there is.
    Can't he convert to the new Church of Shutting the Fuck Up?

    Which totally made me laugh ...

    Reporting from the Burn Unit with this comment from Eliab, in the "Victim Culture" thread in Purgatory:
    If you were arguing for the validity of inferences, and consequent bad treatment, drawn from astrology or phrenology, my arguments would need but slight amendment to allow for the superior intellectual rigour and consistency of those systems compared to your views.

    Dafyd on a Resurrection for cats:
