Wonk, this sounds like giving to me. Any thoughts?

Great story. What was the sermon about?

When I realize that I would defend your right to fidgit, I am ashamed that I did not speak up to defend Paigow, albeit from my position low on the totem pole.
Surely her discomfort, while best ignored, was real.

I'm not sure whether the point of your post is that Paigow's discomfort, while seemingly trivial to someone non-Paigow, is something that you should have recognized and backed her up on. Or that Paigow's discomfort, however real, was something that was best for you to ignore. Or whether there was any point. Maybe it will come later.

He should have tried the blood and flesh of our Savior - deelish. Although I have found that the guy in the goofy robe doesn't like it when I whip out the A-1 and ask what vintage the hemaglobin is.

I thought this was a description of someone whiffing and it was the best description ever. Poor paigow misses all the almost-whiff descriptions.

During my short stint in Catholic school, they actually made us go to confession. If you don't know what confession is, its where you tell a priest your sins while the two of you are separated by a black curtain. Kinda like a voting booth. He then asks what you're wearing, sighs a lot, grunts and tells you to say a hail mary or three.
A friend of mine told several of us to stand outside the confessional while he loudly told a very old priest an amazing set of ludicrous sins. The laundry list of absurd sins culminated with him telling the priest that he had murdered his cat.
I believe that was the beginning of the end for me and religion. I couldn't possibly take a stitch of it seriously. I mean, here was a priest telling a kid who was clearly goofing on him to say a whole bunch of our fathers for murdering his pet. How the fuck could I respect that process?
I still think confession was something derived to give priests something to talk about...
... besides boys swimming.

I wonder how I could go about IMing her a whiff?
Its kinda hard to whiff on the opening line of an email conversation.

If anyone could do it, you can.
Next time I am in New York, I'll PM you in advance. Take the train up and we'll meet at my friend's place in Brooklyn. We'll get so high that you'll forget your name. Then we'll head to the financial district, grab a bunch of cocktails, and I'll pretend to be interested while you blather on about collars, you dashing old pirate, you.
"The newly opened Hickey Freeman store in the financial district has a made-to-measure lounge kitted out not just with swatches and collar samples, but also with sofas and a bar."
