Five Things

No one expects the Five Things Meme.

Matt and Madeleine tagged me yesterday. Now, I’m highly ambivalent toward internet memes. On the one hand, I subscribe to the icanhascheezburger RSS feed. On the other, I’m totally above such things, and am writing this only because old age has mellowed me. That said, mellowing happens faster than you’d expect. I’m so old that if I’ve remembered to shave, and have forgotten to bring my baby daughter, I’ll still get carded at the liquor store when buying rum. To be fair, if I were working there I’d probably also assume that someone wearing a Captain Hammer tee-shirt and a black duster was not as old as he looks. And I’d probably assume that it reflects something more general about him as well; like, that we share a common difficulty in waiting for the fifth season of Doctor Who. This makes me suspect that maybe we haven’t quite gotten over high school yet. But then that leads me, in turn, to wonder: is Christian blogging just like being in the chess club? Because I sucked at chess…

The following people should now consider themselves tagged:

  2. Jono Mac
  3. Timothy
  4. Drew Lewis

    I get ID’d too!

    It used to be funny and flattering until my youngest son got into my purse and lost (as in misplaced) my licence.

    I took to carrying my passport in the end just so I could keep my supply of shiraz and cab sav running.

Commenting guidelines Allowed tags

The overriding purpose of this blog is to produce and promote quality discussions of Christian issues. I do not post poorly-considered or hastily-worded articles; and I apply the same standard to comments. This is not a matter of censorship; it is a matter of sponsorship. I will sponsor any comment which increases the quality of an article by expanding the discussion it initiates; whether it presents a positive or a negative view.

I will not sponsor any comment which fails to meet this standard. Comments which do not justify their existence by making it over the quality threshold will not make it onto the site—whether because they are spam, general abuse, poorly-constructed, already-answered, off-topic, long-winded, or whatever else.

I also like to know who I am sponsoring. Pseudonyms may be fashionable on the internet, but they're less so in the realm of serious intellectual discourse; so please use your real name.
