Entry: Brave New Britain Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/brave_new_britain#3985 Post contents: Heh! Mr Capp, that reminds me of something Garrison Keillor appended to his "Lake Wobegon Days". He tells an apocryphal story of a German-American Lutheran who returns in secret to his parents' house at around age 50, and he posts his own "95 Theses" on their front door. The one you reminded me of went something like this: "Because you always went to bed at ten, I stayed up until 4 AM drinking gin and smoking, and given the courage might have cut off my right arm, that also being something your never would have done." And then this one, the last one: "You ask why I never call and never visit. I don't need to call, because I hear your voice in my head day and night, and I will hear your voice until I die, and then after I die you will say, "I TOLD you this would happen"...and then something EVEN WORSE will happen..." Funniest spoof of the Protestant mindset ever written. But I hope Mr Capp was at least half-joking about those people going to Hell. Protestants like them don't need any more encouragement to contemplate Hell. Sent at: 2008 12 02
