Dinner at the Brass Monkey

1. Typical Man of God, that Sin. I used to tell my daughter, when she was small, that when any man of God came to our house, if it was the Priest, to stand in front of the liquor cabinet; if it was the Methodist Preacher, to stand in front of the refrigerator; and if it was our pious Baptist Preacher, to sit in her mother's lap. Religion carries power to men who serve.

2. The late (great) Cardinal Sin lived up to his name. This is just a fictional story, set in the recent past. However there is a clear thread of truth that runs through it where the cardinal is concerned.

3. Coffeypot — I hope I'm the exception to that rule… But LL, excellent short, and I'll one further and say that it may be my favorite, so far.

   Cardinal Sin? Well…

   But let's not forget that "Europe (by extension the US) is the Faith." Thanks for that, Belloc. And it'll beat back the Jihad once again. I believe that.

4. It’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey! Don’t worry, you’ll never, ever have to use that line where you live. We have a marvellous cocktail bar called that in my neck of the woods but I don’t think they serve Tetrodotoxin slammers. Shame. Or cardinal sin….

   Mr Birch? Mr Bond would have worked SO much better with this story. It didn’t hide the bulge…are we still talking about guns here? I’m a little naive on the subject being a preppy, English bird and all.

   I’m never eating pig again….until I smell the bacon. Or dumplings.

   Good work.

5. It's safe to avoid the cardinal sins…but not much fun, or so I've been told.

6. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. There were no evil clowns or women in comfortable shoes performing liturgical dances…maybe next time.

7. Another great one, LL!

8. Sometimes absence makes the heart fonder. And what can we say? next year, in Austin.

9. Thank you DR. J.

10. They have all been good. This one is outstanding!

11. I'm just trying to give you all a nice Christmas gift.

12. All vitriol aside, there are some nice restaurants in Austin, TX. I'm trying to be positive since it's the Christmas Season.

13. Loved it.

    Waiting for availability of Black Scorpions
