Well shit....what a week...congratulations again to the
Grass-man....well deserved....TRP's day will come...unless he follows
M&D with more crap like Vineland or COL49...oh come on I'm just
kidding...relax....and the lingering question remains, "What do Hitler,
The Pope and Ronald Reagan have in common?"...heyyyyy....lighten
up...the teats of sacred cows need relieved now and then...welcome to
the transpostmodernhypertrophic era ladies and gentlemen...and I have no
quarrel with Catholics...one of my early crises in faith occurred when
my neighbor Charlie Binney died....we were good nazarenes, perfect in
fact...and Charlie, well, he was Catholic...and not only that--he
refused to go to mass or confession because the last time he went to
confession the booth smelt of liquor....now Charlie thought if he was
honorable enough to go to confession sober, it wasn't too much to expect
the same of the mediator...so he said fuck it and practiced his
sacramental smoke and drink in his backyard much to the dismay of our
teetotalling clan...so when he died I just HAD to believe that he went
to Hell...both by the standards of the Nazzies and the Catholics...well,
I KNEW Charlie Binney...and any god that would send him to Hell wasn't a
god I was going to serve...but with a nudge and a wink the one true god
revealed himself to me on the occasion of Mr. Binney's death....in honor
of that moment of enlightenment I invite you to reveal YOURself to those
around you, preferably in a public place...and sing along with Michael
and Terry....follow the bouncing spermatazoa.....Good Night Austin Texas
wherever you are:


EVERY SPERM IS SACRED 
Sung by Michael Palin and Terry Jones 
>From `Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life' 
  
There are Jews in the world, there are Buddhists 
There are Hindus and Mormons and then 
There are those that follow Mohammad BUT 
I've never been one of them. 
  
I'm a Roman Catholic 
And have been since before I was born 
And the one thing they say about Catholics is 
They'll take you as soon as you're warm 
You don't have to be a six footer 
You don't have to have a great brain 
You don't have to have any clothes on 
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came 
Because.. 
  
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is great 
If a sperm is wasted 
God gets quite irate 
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is great 
If a sperm is wasted 
God gets quite irate 
  
GIRL: Let the heathens spill theirs 
On the dusty ground 
God shall make them pay 
For each sperm that can't be found 
  
Every sperm is wanted 
Every sperm is good 
Every sperm is needed 
In your neighborhood 
  
MOTHER: Hindu, Taoist, Mormon 
Spill theirs just anywhere 
But God loves those who treat their 
Semen with more care 
  
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is great 
If a sperm is wasted 
God gets quite irate 
  
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is good 
Every sperm is needed 
In your neighborhood 
  
Every sperm is useful 
Every sperm is fine 
God needs everybody's 
Mine, and mine, and mine 
  
Let the pagans spill theirs 
O'er mountain, hill and plain 
God shall strike them down for 
Each sperm that's spilt in vain 
  
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is good 
Every sperm is needed 
In your neighborhood 
  
Every sperm is sacred 
Every sperm is great 
If a sperm is wasted 
God gets quite irate
