True Love

Things I learned today about love:

1) Love is the most powerful force in the universe.

2) Love hurts

3) True Love is even more valuable and powerful than regular Love. It is a remarkable, once in a lifetime experience that should remain as the shining pinnacle of your life.

4) If True Love could be distilled and bottled it would be the most valuable substance in the world. Rich persons would pay a fortune just to obtain a drop and hold it to their side forever. It would be a resource more valuable than all the crass money in the world. You would not use it carelessly.

5) If you were lucky enough to manage to distill some, you certainly wouldn't try it out by putting something as large as a drop of it in your girlfriend's wine glass in order to get an evening of hot sex.

6) We've managed to refloat and reassemble most of North America by now, and the incident has been removed from the memories of the participants, most of whom have now been returned to their proper dimension. There may still be some inconsistencies, as something seems to be vaguely wrong.

Saints

My father and I sometimes have odd conversations.

Today we talked briefly about Black Mountains Smokery of Wales, who has been warned that it must change the name of its "Welsh Dragon Sausages" to specify in particular the animal whose meat forms the bulk of the sausage. We speculated that this might be because the British have perhaps made the Dragon a protected species, who can only be hunted by Saints, and only certain Saints at that.

Which led to some speculation. Does the Vatican, which has lists for everything having to do with doctrinal development, also have lists for this? Do they have a list of "Saints who could totally own a dragon", and "Saints who maybe could slay a dragon" along with "Saints who could, under no circumstances, slay a dragon". And, if so, do they discuss this stuff behind closed doors in church conferences?

Which would lead to entries like this:

"Besooth and forgiveth my tresspasses Lord, for I have sinned in your church. This day, in conference, I did fall upon and vigorously smite the Bishop of Tours for his churlish refusal to admit that Hildegard of Bingen could so totally pwn a dragon. I shall do pennance for my acts of anger, in the hopes that you shall see fit to deliver to him the punishment he so richly deserves."

Which I think is amusing.

Which just shows you that I'm weird.
