'do anything"! I love it!
Good advice, too.
LOL!!!
LMBO
Another fine job, Maureen.
"They were inspired and they did something. I'd prefer you not be inspired and do anything."
" -- A perfectly Chestertonian inversion. Proof positive that the ghost was for real.
With Maureen's permission, I am posting Chesterton's song about some of his more obsessive devotees.
You Got to Get on With Your Life.
(To the Beatles’ Got to Get You Into my Life)
I died alone, I took a ride
I didn’t know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see the Omniscient Mind there
Ooh then I suddenly see you
Ooh did I tell you I need review?
Every single day of your life
You didn’t move on, you didn’t try
You knew I wanted just to be true
And had you gone on, you knew in time
We’d meet again for I had told you
Ooh you were meant to be free
Ooh and I want you to have glee
Pray we’ll be together another day
Got to get on with your life!
What can I do, what can I be
I’m an everlasting man, but you want me to stay there
If I’m true, then I had to leave
And you will too if you do well down there
Ooh then I suddenly see you
Ooh did I tell you, you should pursue
Every single day of your life
Got to get on with your life!
You’ve just got to get on with your life!
I died alone, I took a ride
I didn’t know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see Eternal Light there
And suddenly I see you
Didn’t I tell you, “do anything, you”
Every single day...
Interestingly enough, I had never heard the name of Chesterton until just recently. (go figure) Undoubtedly I have missed out on the wit of the century, or at the very least some great humor. I guess I must read up on the man. If he's so great is he up for sainthood?
I've already submitted him to the Vatican. Him and John Wayne (hey, the man converted on his deathbed!).
I would add that he has also become the patron saint of those who like to smoke cigars and drink beer.
Steve and Linda - Glad you thought the "do anything" phrase passed the test. Thanks for your kind comments. *g*
Rick - Thanks for another one of your award-winning song parodies.
Lucy - As for the saint question, hmmm, don't have an answer for ya.
Der Tommissar - I was thinking of nominating the cast of "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Anonymous - Hey Anon (You know it is going to be hard differentiate you from the other anons), thanks for stopping by! Wow, Chesterton gets all the good stuff. I bet Sts. Dymphna or Lucy wish they could trade.
God bless, Maureen Martin
I thought I saw a ghost once, but it was my own reflection in the mirror. We Canadians tend to be a bit pale.
Hi Cycles2K,
So do you think Jack Griffin really saw a Canadian at the book store?
God bless, Maureen Martin
that he, Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy were quickly becoming the patron saints of people 'who just read all the time.'
love it 
Hi Martha Squared,
I am glad to see you came out of hiding. *g* Thanks for dropping by, and thanks for the nice comment.
God bless, Maureen Martin
I've often thought of pretending to be Chesterton's ghost, just so I could get free beer and cigars and beef.
I'm just working on how to explain a ghost /needs/ beers and cigars and beef.
Hi Tom,
Maybe if you just scare or charm people effectively enough, they will just give you the items. Eh, it's a try, right?
God bless, Maureen Martin
I know so many people who would be offended... kind of in the vein of how the hard-core trekkies went off when William Shatner told them to move out of their parents' basements...
Absolutely brilliant! Keep it up.
