You're saying that Hugh Jass has never visited you? I'm surprised. I saw him when I was eleven, instead of going to a Bat Mitsvah. Maybe you just need more connections; but I'm supposing that you don't have Hugh Jass's for acquaintances?
(I'm doing something crazy and pointless: searching the net for Hugh Jass and seeing whether I can find his membership details, or email, or whatever..)
Ok, found him...
I'm now signing up to some stupid site so that I can check his e-mail address...
He did register here - but never posted.
Abuzz was not search engine friendly, so it will be hit or miss.
DO post if you find him
I never had a bat mitzvah. Sob.
I was never religious - member of the church of England, don't you know...
I know; that's the annoying thing! Who knows what delightful intercourses he could have initiated? Somehow, though, I imagine him as being a thirty-six year old librarian living below the MD line... it's my intuition, I guess.
The problem is that there are two Hugh Jasses. One is in California and the other is in Tennesee. I'll try to get both.
I'm waiting for my email to be verified...
Ah, being religious and member of the CoE are very different things! Only kidding. I'm surprised that those faux-colonialists didn't call it 'Church of Australia,' like the 'Church of Ireland' that they imposed upon Éire...
Maybe we should hold a bat mitzvah for you? Or, even better, one for Sofia, so that we get all the mitzvahish treats without the holy stuff?
I have found that both Hugh Jasses are rather mysterious and elusive creatures, posting only a few times wherever they go...
But with a tagline like: 'Oh my god.... sugar free jazz,' we have to forgive them...
The Church of Ireland has/had exactly that relation to reality as the Confederate States Air Force.
I find it rather sad to think that all of that good Irish talent for blather, bombast and borroshitto went wasted all of those generations for lack of internet access in the Antipodes. What jewells of irreverance, irrelevance and irritability have been lost? In fact, i have been told by reliable sources that most Ozzians are sufficient deluded about modern communications as to believe that the personal computer was only invented within the last generation and that the world wide web has only existed for a few decades.
Oh, the humourity . . .
Oh - OUR Hugh lived in New York City - I was in touch with him after 9/11.
I cannot recall his true name....
"Ah, being religious and member of the CoE are very different things!"
Lol - my point exactly.
I slipped out of christianity as out of a garment but half donned...

No, no my dear! We have had it these two hunfdred years - we calle dit the "bush telegraph".
I was always into Samaritanism, acceptance, and proportionality... doing the lesser evil... which is an ideology missing in nearly every religion; just think about the Abrahamics' attitude towards conception in Africa...
Uhm, DetR, its a really bad idea to post e-mail addresses in public places. You really should edit that out of your post . . . spammers (especially porno spammers) send "spiders" out on the web to "crawl" for e-mail addresses. Send it to Miss Wabbit by PM.
Yikes, I have to agree with Set on posting e-mails publically.
O, I forgot about guests' being able to read it; as well as the spammers. Anyway, I have lanced it out, now.
Lanced?
How ...er.....violent....shudder......
heehee
Oh yeah, sure that verb bothers you...sure it does.
Yes - it reminds me of boils.
Oh, right. There is that. duh.
What happened to boils? I seem to recall aunts and uncles getting boils lanced almost every other week. But I've never met one, nor any contemporary who has (or admits to it) either.
A truer version of HG Wells tale might involve some rich, handsome and brilliant fellow returning with gout and boils all over his ass.
You mean boils have gone the way of the hula hoop?
How odd.....
Like going into a decline, and re-absorbtion of testicles....
