non in commotione Dominus

Over the course of the last month or so, I was part of a reading group discussing Umberto Eco's the Name of the Rose

It's very sad sometimes the way people can think they're doing the right thing, and end up doing something so horrible. Just take a look at the iconclast, not a lot of people know about that in America because the majority of amercians are protestant.

It's probably an attack on your reading group's staunch protestantism to think that the Inquisitors believed the confessions. It says the "faith without question" paradigm could be, *gasp*, harmful and misguided, and that may hit a bit too close to home for them. Easier to write the inquisitors off as blatantly evil cartoons than deeply ignorant men of god

CILYMBF? Because seriously, I have soo much ravaging to catch up with on you >..>

And also.. zounds! Why didn't I think to invite /you/ to the group, it would have been so brilliant.

CILYMBF? I'm afraid this was left out of my edition of the mental slangtionary. Definition? Does it have anything to do with Cillian Murphy?

[kipple]

It's from a canonical list of Internet abbreviations.

CILYMBF = Can I Lock You In My Basement Forever
NTBUSWAB = Not to bring up Star Wars again, but..
DYHATNTMBGA = Did you hear about the new They Might Be Giants album?
JEOMK = Just ejaculated on my keyboard

&c

Useful phrases like that!

You're in luck.
