I'm sure Meister Eckhart was — Buxtebuddha

I'm reminded of a silly old joke about the priest chasing the altar boy in the chapel; after much chasing up and down the aisles and almost breathless exertion, he finally caught him around the organ. >:O

I'll be honest, I read organs as "orgasms." — Buxtebuddha

The two may be closely related; so it's an easy mistake.

Sometimes I feel like changing my username to Hugh Manatee or perhaps Hugh Jarse, but luckily I soon come to my senses.

Some Lutherans have orgasms listening to the tubular pipe organs. Part of their edifice complex.

Why John? So plain and boring.

Knarc Rettib, with a silent K of course.

Such Lutherans are usually very senior in the private sector.

Which is "plain and boring": wanting to change my username to HM or HJ or coming to my senses? :s

Edit: I thought "Why John"? was a typo and was intended to be "Why, John"? But now I think you meant to say that "John" is plain and boring. True, perhaps, but that was the name I entered on the joining form as my actual name, not as the name I intended to have as a username; and I never thought it was possible to change it until now, and now I'm not sure I could be bothered..

Yeah, you figured it out. And I see.

I believe it is a composite of 'Buxtehude' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude) and 'Buddha'. Perhaps Shyster Eggfart is fond of organs. ;) — John

>:O Haha, I see, yes I had realised later on as well (but for some reason TPF didn't warn me of your reply - it's not the first time I don't get a notification when you reply LOL).

I see. But the Buddha bit threw me off, I was thinking along completely different lines. — Agustino

The two may be closely related; so it's an easy mistake. — John

Very interesting how the mind of a supposed life-long celibate in his case functions :P
