An Invitation For Steve M.

Steve M., how would you like to be a guestblogger here at Patum Peperium? The comments you put here (under The Spirit of Roderick Spode Lives*) are not only worthy for everyone to read, but worthy of a serious post. Since I am not a serious person I was wondering if you would like to flesh it out and post it here sometime in the coming weeks?

The idea of traveling bodies on the Today Show vis a vis the media's outrage of army reserve troops photographing terrorist suspects a la Barney Frank's D.C. basement in the good old gay days is very interesting to say the least. For you youngsters who may not be in the know, in the mid-80's Barney Frank's old live-in boyfriend ran a D.C. gay call service out of Barney's basement when Barney was working hard up on Capitol Hill. Barney, of course had absolutely no knowledge how his live-in boyfriend made all of his mooney or the huge number of parking tickets that had been accumulated outside his D.C. townhouse. Barney was as shocked as the rest of his constituents - well no there was no shock or outrage because Massachusetts has returned him to Congress every two years since. Where is the outrage for these traveling souls? Who are they? How does one just get 22 bodies to travel the country? Those Army Reservists are now doing time in the pokey for their perverted games and the artists, or at least the modern-day P.T.Barnums are making money. Loads of money.

Anyway, it's a post.

Mrs. P,
I will be delighted to accept the offer of a guest bloggership. It may be worth $24.50 for me to make a trip to the "Bodies" exhibit, for purposes of praying for the repose of their souls. And that God forgive those involved in this display, since "they know not waht they do." My thoughts on the Civil War in Spain would get one post here: Mr. P would say "Wow, dude. Right on!"

Great. Just taxi over the $24.50 bill to the offices of TNC. I'm sure they'll be delighted to write it off for us.
