on...once in a while it's nice to be anonymous.<br /><br />on the topic of flatulent priests, the 1915 novel <a href="http://www.classicreader.com/book/2678/64/" rel="nofollow"><i> Belthane the Smith</i></a> contains the following reference:<br /><br />"Abate thee, friar, abate!" roared Giles, "cease thy rumbling, thou empty wine-butt. An thou must deal in curses, leave them to one more apt and better schooled--to Giles, in faith, who shall forthwith curse thee sweet and trippingly as thus--now mark me, monk! Aroint, aroint thee to Acheron dark and dismal, there may the foul fiend seize and plague thee with seven and seventy plaguey sorrows! May Saint Anthony's fire frizzle and fry thee--woe, woe betide thee everlastingly--(bate thy babble, Prior, I am not ended yet!) In life may thou be accursed from heel to head, within thee and without--(save thy wind, Prior, no man doth hear or heed thee!) Be thou accursed in father and in mother, in sister and in brother, in oxen and in asses--especially in asses! Be thou accursed in sleeping and in waking, eating and drinking, standing, sitting, lying--O be thou accursed completely and consumedly! Here now, methinks, Sir Monkish Tunbelly, is cursing as it should be cursed. But now--(hush thy vain babbling, heed and mark me well!)--now will I to dictums contumacious, from cursing thee I will to song of thee, of thy plump and pertinacious person--a song wherein shall pleasant mention be o' thy round and goodly paunch, a song that shall be sung, mayhap, when thee and it are dusty dust, O shaveling--to wit:<br /><br /> "O frater fat and flatulent, full foolish, fatuous Friar<br /> A prime plump priest in passion seen, such pleasure doth inspire,<br /> That sober souls, 'spite sorrows sad, shall sudden, shout and sing<br /> Because thy belly big belittleth baleful ban ye bring.<br /> Wherefore with wondrous wit withal, with waggish wanton wiles,<br /> I joyful chant to glorify the just and gentle Giles."<br /><br />Anon again: <br />can an empty wine-butt be a fat flatulent friar? discuss.Ever and anonhttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Ever%20and%20anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19938128.post-79931512891559265852009-10-28T07:37:02.944-04:002009-10-28T07:37:02.944-04:00C'mon, if you are gonna make cracks about flat...C'mon, if you are gonna make cracks about flatulent priests, you should stop hiding behind the "anonymous" moniker.
