Grateful Dead lyrics in sermons, Doors albums during overnights, high-grade ganja out back of the church after youth group. Father Greg rocked!Of course, none of our parents liked him, what with him being fresh out of seminary and having a beard and all. But last I checked he was a Quaker/Buddhist so I guess it all balances out.

Of course, Fr. Greg really had no choice going over to the Quakers following that, er, incident involving the youth group; the settlement nearly bankrupted the diocese.
Wow, I'm really glad to have gone to high school in Deliverance Country in the '70s: our youth group leader, Fr. Pat(rick Henry Reardon) gave amazingly erudite Bible-studies, showed us 'Ulysses', and tried to get us hooked on chess. No wonder he (and I) abandonded the Episcolupians.
Hey, at least it has orphreys!

Yellow Peril alert !
Or maybe scrambled eggs with pickles & kiwi fruit. . .
Queasy--I feel queasy--must leave liturgy quickly. . .
Hey!!! RIGHT ON!!!! I took this picture a few years back. It belongs to a priest in San Diego. In fairness, his OWN taste is usually good in what HE buys -- but this one was given to him in the early 80s, I think, by some students in Hawaii, when he was stationed there. THey made it for him. AFAIK, it never saw the light of day, in our parish. Just came across your blog today, and really got a charge out of it.
I initially wrote about it here -- I called it "WElcome to my DayMare."
Now you got to admit that is pretty darn AWFUL!!!!!
My goodness, you would get nausea making it but probably unconscious wearing it! No wonder it's stuck on a hanger. The wearer is still recovering from his trauma somewhere....
