• It is Doris Day Day

    Aha! Lo! One of the joys of the calendar this year is that we can celebrate Doris Day Day in Eastertide.

    Singalong now.

    Ms Day is 89 years young today and deserves our many congratulations.

    I’ve been trying to get the last line of each verse to scan better in the absence of the ‘O’ (which is hidden in the vocative, but well hidden indeed since deus is an irregular vocative…)

    perhaps,

    care deus, cum ba ia — ?

    Kimberley,

    The time spent feeding you all those fudge doughnuts was certainly not wasted

    How did we get from Kum by Yah, or even Cum ba ia, to fudge doughnuts?

    Moyra, you have to realise that fudge doughnuts are Zebadee’s equivalent of Mornington Crescent. With enough ingenuity, a link is always possible.

    (It’s a St Andrews thing…)

    I’m sure that there is something holy about fudge doughnuts. Holey, anyway. Come by here, my Lord, we have fudge doughnuts?

    Unfortunately, I live in a convent not sufficiently hol(e)y to have them. Too bad. Nor do we have cum ba ia around a candle, but perhaps Compline counts? I’ll suggest to our Superior that we do cum ba ia for our Compline hymn Tuesday. I’m sure she’d be thrilled (Kimberly can comment on that, I’m sure, as they are acquainted).

    I’m sure someone could come up with an appropriate analysis of cum ba ia from a hermeneutic related to fudge donuts and liberation theology…

    personally, I’m not sure that I have ever tasted a fudge doughnut. I’ m sure I have no idea what you are all talking about.

    No, Kelvin. You have never bought a fudge doughnut. That’s not the same thing.

  • Jung

    Someone once told me that I shouldn’t read Jung until after the age of 35. At the time, this made me rather cross, but now somehow I can see what he meant. I have been reading a bit of Jung and a bit of Jungian stuff recently and it all does see rather different now.…

  • Vet II

    “Just put this cream on her eye twice a day for five days….” What fun to have a vet with such an extraordinarily well developed sense of humour. I bet he lies awake chuckling at night at the instructions he has given people during the day.
