"I really don’t understand what your reply means. I’m a mere uneducated peasant, the king’s language baffled me :D" Pa-lease, this hasn't stopped you before... Only joshing with ya! You are giving me far too much credit! The fact that you read the whole thing while multi-tasking with a malt... maybe, says much! Just think, you can visit the blog, and be immobilised for days!

We found the effigy thing really funny so I had to find a way to include it! Ozy you are more than welcome. We just cannot switch gears right now - lectures for me are officially over as of this morning, the BIG deadline is this Friday at 4pm and then there is my exam. Jonny you crack me up!

Ozy you are more than welcome. We just cannot switch gears right now – lectures for me are officially over as of this morning, the BIG deadline is this Friday at 4pm and then there is my exam.

Own Style! For better or for worse! However, I would have to say that at this auspicious blogging moment, almost on the level of certain announcements earlier in the day, I must defend my besmirched character of the scurrilous accusations at the beginning of the post. The full context of the text that this is based on is as follows... "I have noted your desire for some postal assistance at this time of need! I am happy to be prostituted at the altar of obtaining more visitors... Thinking out loud again... What I meant to say is that if you would like to put one of my finely tuned [he begins to giggle] pieces of prose on your blog, who am I to say, "No." If... If you have read one of my opinion pieces, you will quickly realise that their is a certain style to the substance. Whether or not that works for you and your blog... the choice is yours... I will not be offended, and I promise not to burn effigies of the mandm blog next time I am at Laidlaw... I will bring my medication next time!" You see I promised not to!... I probably would have just payed someone else to do it [champagne comedy]! Only jo-king... He's my brother... Moving Right Along... Oz, I was thinking of some subject matter for your blog post to come... Two thoughts that relate to where you may be at could be worthwhile! 1) You could do a piece on the various types of humour used in the Bible... even scatological humour (Driscoll has referred to this). As your site looks at life from a humourous perspective, you could really exemplify what is funny and may be even why, from a biblical worldview! 2) What is the purpose of Education? What is the practice of Education? What is the profit of Education? This could be from a schooling sense only, or also looking at the paideia for the children of God (Psalm 1). Putting together either a part or both, forming what you see is a biblically-grounded philosophy of education. You could see this as a long-term project. This would not only be a gift to the community, but would also help you to think through it as a teacher/ VP! This sounds like a lot of work Jonny King!!! Just some random thoughts OZ! These may not fit the bill, but may get ya thinking! Thanks Ozy… Own Style! For better or for worse!

However, I would have to say that at this auspicious blogging moment, almost on the level of certain announcements earlier in the day, I must defend my besmirched character of the scurrilous accusations at the beginning of the post.

The full context of the text that this is based on is as follows…

“I have noted your desire for some postal assistance at this time of need!

I am happy to be prostituted at the altar of obtaining more
visitors… Thinking out loud again… What I meant to say is that if
you would like to put one of my finely tuned [he begins to giggle]

yours… I will not be offended, and I promise not to burn effigies of the mandm blog next time I am at Laidlaw… I will bring my medication next time!”

You see I promised not to!… I probably would have just payed someone else to do it [champagne comedy]!

Oz, I was thinking of some subject matter for your blog post to come…

This sounds like a lot of work Jonny King!!!
