Our Lady of Victories
"O Lady of Last Assurance
Light in the laurels, sunrise
of the dead,
Wind of the ships and
lightning of Lepanto
In honour of Thee, to whom
all honor is fled."G. K. Chesterton, In October

Tower Decree
And peace, Eustace. Do not scold, like a kitchen-girl. No warrior scolds. Courteous words or else hard knocks are his only language (King Tirian, last king of Narnia).As master of this blog, I have absolute discretion as to what constitutes an appropriate comment. I will not tolerate profanity, blasphemy or any kind of inflammatory remark. The virtues of chivalry are fidelity, honesty, courtesy, prowess and generosity. Commenters would do well to familiarize themselves with these assets before engaging me or other commenters.
Comments here are unmoderated (for the time being), that is, comments are are not approved by me before they are posted. This may change if need be. I reserve the absolute right to edit or delete any and all comments; however, I will make note of such alterations and deletions and my reason for them.
The fact that a comment remains on this blog in no way implies that I agree with it. The same can be said of the blogroll and links list below. I have found these sources helpful to me for various reasons, but I take no responsibility for any or all of the content of the respective blogs or websites to which I have linked.
Attend upon your weapons and commence at will.

That was stupid!!

We will give the lady one more free lesson. I know its hard, but try and you’ll learn to like it.
April 11, 2008 at 10:22 pm
That. Is. Awesome.
April 11, 2008 at 10:30 pm
That would make a most excellent encampment activity. I have a van sitting in my driveway not doing anything of import…
Too cool.
April 11, 2008 at 11:10 pm
OK, I’m a woman but that was intensely amazing.
April 11, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Okay, after about 1 minute, it became too painful to watch any further. Harmless diversions, eh? It’s those blasted boxes inside your heads again … the lack of wiring or something.
Well, enjoy smashing up your van, Steve!! Please keep my husband, sons and our automobiles out of this one.

Jennifer - if you’re husband & sons see that video, you better keep a sentry by your family car.

There is hope for you, Mary.

I thought we were supposed to encourage men to behave as adults in this world where most men want to stay irresponsible teenagers all their lives! Go get your fix at Six Flags on the bumper cars guys!
April 12, 2008 at 8:59 am
Totally Awesome! Only thing better is if we could use trucks - with bull bars on t he front. How about trucks with snow plough blades……yeah………

Dear Other Mary,
I believe this is what they refer to as “delayed Adolescence”
April 12, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Delayed adolescence or mid-life crisis!
April 12, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Ladies,
For the sake of chivalry, I will not mention the feminine forms of delayed adolescence that we all know so well. Besides, men need to fight. Better they do it in good humor, rather than for real.
April 12, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Actually, I think it looks like alot of fun. Not saying I would drive, but I would definately would watch if I knew the drivers. Definately a man’s sport.
April 12, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Man! If I had the chance I would do that without a second thought… it looks like sooo much fun!
April 12, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hm..Girard’s Van, Thompson’s Van, Kerlins’ Van, and I’m sure there are a few others hanging around!
April 12, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Oops…that was me. I was signed in under my dad’s username.
April 13, 2008 at 7:46 am
Feminine delayed adolescence behaviors that we are encouraged to indulge in, Father?
April 13, 2008 at 9:13 am
I said I wasn’t going to talk about it–for chivalry’s sake, you know.
April 13, 2008 at 9:44 am
I can’t for the life of me (and I’m being honest) understand what on earth Father is alluding to!!! However, as for Father’s comment on the fact that men need to fight … well there is MUCH to fight for today.
I just read in the paper this morning about the poll taken before our Pope visits the U.S. and it said how many Catholics don’t believe they need to attend Mass to be good Catholics nor do they need to go to confession. Now, I’m quite sure this is the data Father Angelo used in this past week’s homilies. So … go play your crash-n-burn games if you must … just save some energy for the real fights. Or, during half-time of your crash-n-burn games, over a brewskie or whatever, you can discuss the plans for your REAL fights.
I know that sometimes it helps to have something fun and casual to get you to REALLY think about things that matter. If that’s the case, go ahead and play.
I’m off to Mass now.

This looks like so much fun, and I have not even been able to see the video because my company filter will not permit access to this site….
April 15, 2008 at 11:00 am
Oh, my!!! Yeah, Pa…this looks like a lot of fun. Too bad we aren’t still up in CT…we could have added our van to the fun.
