– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Ditto from the other great humor— ROTFLMHO!!! Two weeks to finals and I NEEDED a good laugh!!! (Oh, and I rather like Andy, though I do believe that Pete should be the patron saint of ADHD [which I have]), so he has always held a special place for me… I have to admit: The Last Supper, MJ Meets Jesus, and MJ Goes to RCIA are my three favorite skits, in that order. Now some scholarly types who have analyzed and reviewed my work thoroughly (especially the Menden-Bonn contingent), feel that the MJ Meets Jesus is far and away my best work. Personally, I feel that the MJ-M-J (HA!) lacks the purity of satire and emotional reserve found in The Last Supper. But that’s just me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget composing The Last Supper.
Glad you’re thinking of that, because we need to get our creative juices flowing (so to speak) for The New and Improved Critical Edition of……. "Shakespeare’s Caligula." Having had some exquisit cheesecake Mark and I were sitting in front of the computer, reading Tony Miller’s line "Please, don’t try and confuse Mark with facts. He is sure that Jesus said ‘pro multis’ at the Last Supper."
There was cheesecake involved? What? I thought we were recovering from the Mid-Morning Projection. and I just typed in "Okay, we can picture the scene" without having a sodding clue what to do next. Mark all of a sudden started laughing and went "Lemme do it, lemme do it!!", so we swapped seats.
Wasn’t that about the fifth time that spontaneously happened? Shortly after we were putting it all together, adding some details and not too much later, there was a pile of books on the desk: a Bible, a Latin dictionary, a concise Latin grammar, a Hebrew dictionary. It was so bloody funny….
And people say our hobbies are geeky. Hell, too! They’ve provided us and the whole flippin’ world with hours and hours of entertainment. Having had forgotten most of the Latin I had learned at school (I neede it occasionally at university, funnily enough more for English lit than theology), translating the sentence "If you only have four bottles, then there won’t be enough for all" turned out to be a major nightmare.
But we had success! It was worth the blood, sweat, and tears (note rock music reference) Actually, that was the moment I decided I really needed to do something for my Latin.
And that was the impetus for as certain parting gift left on your book shelf. What I like about The Last Supper is the varieties of different moods, there are some real characters in there, with different voices and characteristics. It does have a touch of Monty Python.
A touch? It was a bold faced not-quite-plagiarism. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -DH

The official closing night cheer to conclude the Schismatic Hootenanny will be the MJ Traditionalist Cheer. We will also need a committee to enlarge the photo of our hero, Mark Johnson, in cheerleader skirt and pom-poms, and it doesn’t have to be the one with him in the wig, because that wig was just too hideous for words.
