< the most holy church of the yearly penny-dog >

[rayheinrich]

Just found this in an old file while looking for some ancient correspondence
so I thought why not preserve it for posterity by throwing it in a pig pen...


       < the most holy church of the yearly penny-dog >
       
         to become a devout member of 
         the most holy church of the yearly penny-dog
         throw a penny out the window
         (it doesn't have to be yours)
         and bark like a dog
       
         this will get you in good with the spirits
         for a whole year
         and while it's not the best religion around
         the results are comparable
         and it 
         sure is cheap

       it seems that through the years
       (being that humans and all are involved) 
       the holy church of the yearly penny-dog
       has split into various factions
     
       the universalists say 
       any day is just fine
       for throwing that penny
       but the pluton's insist 
       it should be 
       on pluto's birthday
       the republican's 
       require a quarter 
       stolen from the poor 
       and the poodlist's 
       that it must be the bark
       of a dog that doesn't shed
       and they all say
       (except the universalists)
       that if you don't do it their way
       you'll end up
       with poop on your foot

      i have, but i don't think it's necessary, just fun.
      and no, i can't tell you, it's secret.
   
   
   > Can I tell my dogs about this?  
      
      they already know.
       
   > or will they think it's some kind of 'cult'? 
   
   
      sure they think it's a cult, but they aren't 
      surprised as they know from long experience 
      we're pretty crazy.  but being dogs, they 
      somehow find this an endearing quality.     
   
   
   > I've heard that cats are into some weird stuff..
   
   
      my neighbor has cats, knows something about 
      this, but refuses to say more.  some nights, 
      it's pretty noisy over there.

Okay I want to comment but I don't know what anomalous means.

LOL, good one ray, cheers.

If you throw a cat out the window, the results are quite similar. The sound is a little different, and sometimes it's harder to clean up, but there's no gain to be had without a little hard work. Even just in throwing, you risk tearing a rotator cuff.

It does become slightly confusing, you don't know whether it's pure dogma or a catechism.
