Jim West, you bad boy

I’m not at all convinced that having automatically generated links is a good idea. If you rant a lot, I guess you can be expected to be linked with others who rant, even when you find their rants distasteful.
Clearly God is punishing Jim for taking me off his blogroll. Jim, I suggest that a) you [...]

We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of search

I don’t know which search engine they were using, but I was fascinated to note I’d been found today by a search term typed in in German, (madonna mit kind) yet the only possible posts they could have found (I think) were entirely in English. I suppose because so much of the web is in English, [...]

More strange search terms

From time to time I am well and truly baffled by search terms. Here are two recent ones. The first leaves me with no idea what they were looking for. 
missionary communion trinity creator red
It’s the combination, and especially that final use of the word “red”, that really confuses me. A red what? Creator? Missionary?
The second [...]

Atheist spam

Sometimes I’m not quite sure what counts as spam. Today I received a comment left on my About page, which I’ve treated as spam. It was in no way a response to anything I said there, or have said anywhere on my blog. It appeared to be entirely generic, and came with what looked like [...]

Five blogs that make me think: an award meme

A big thank you to James McGrath for honouring MetaCatholic with a blogging award. This is an award for blogs that make me think and make my day.  (Isn’t it fascinating how in the past indicative that’s a compliment, and in the present imperative it’s a threat.) This one seems to have spread across quite [...]

Itchy theme feet

I was quite impressed with this theme when I was browsing. Put that alongside the fact that I was getting bored with my old one, and it’s time for a change.

That one movie meme

I’ve meant to get around to Ben’s One Movie Meme for ages, so here’s my contribution.
1. One movie that made you laugh
There’s Something about Mary
2. One movie that made you cry
Shadowlands
3. One movie you loved when you were a child
Batman – The Movie (i.e. Adam West and Burt Ward)
4. One movie you’ve seen more than [...]

Today’s best typing error …

… comes from Michael Bird.

In sum, our Southern Baptist Identity must be rotted in the consensus fidei of the Christian Church.

I don’t normaly kriticise other peeple for there misteaks, since I make enough of my own, but I couldn’t resist this one. (I do hope Mike will leave this in.)

The best book on Paul, ever!

Eddie has tagged me with a meme of his own devising. The rules appear simple: name your impossible dream, and then tag some more folk.
Oh, dear, I mean I am so full of impossible dreams, from scoring a hat-trick for England – preferably against Germany, through to fronting a sell-out indie concert at Wembley. But [...]

Recursive irony

I was going to write a blog post today, but I realized I didn’t have anything to say.

Welcome

I'm Doug Chaplin, parish priest and human being. Sometimes I have thoughts I want to share. Sometimes I have thoughts I should keep to myself. Sometimes I get them confused. Happy browsing.
