Today a priest theatened to kill me. That's never happenned to me before. Usually Juliana has the more interesting stories when she comes home from work.
What did you do to the poor man? Was his spiritual outrage or something else? Lucky you're not Catholic -- I'm sure provoking the clergy to sin has a special circle in hell.
I'm afraid you already have the most interesting part of the story. An Integral Counseling student at school, with the beautiful name of Apollinar, is in fact a Catholic priest. He's been having some trouble with his aid, and hoped to have the money in hand by the end of last week. I've been waiting to hear from the director, and Apollinar called three times in two days before coming into my office. He pointed at me and, smiling but tense, said, "David I'm going to kill you." I told him what was going on and what I was waiting for, and he was mostly cool with it. It was only after he left that I realied that was the first time I"d had my life threatened by a priest. His funds should be released today, but I can't promise.
I don't know if it is some kind of divine retribution, but some of my trips to the Spartan Bar send me to a 'Mega Site of Bilical Exploration and Prophecy'. Has this happened to anyone else?
Back to the earlier discussion; I find 'I'm going to kill you' a rather poor approach to both humor and invective, but I have fairly high standards in both areas. I've become a bit of a curmudgeon, I suppose, but anyone who, even jokingly, said "I'm going to kill you" in my office would be asked to leave and return when they had prepared an apology. There is no excuse for that kind of violent language, in my opinion.
It was Kelly Genova who told me that, when someone says, "I could kill him/her/you" to ask whether that person attended Catholic school. I think she was onto something, though I'm not sure what.
And as far as your regicidal tendencies, please do bear in mind that he fucks nuns will later join the church.

Mankind will only be free when the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last pope.
Or maybe a little bit later than that.

What the hell is Integral Counseling?
Integral Counseling is the kind of couseling you need after studying integral calculus. Also, a tin teardrop.
Transpersonally oriented, dude. You know, runs on laser beans.
