The Pope vs Ferrari


Don't use cars "as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy." That's a sin!

Great Britain would be wise to Knight Amedeo Felisa now too (thinking of Sir Rushdie from last week).

I heard banter that Blair is thinking of leaving Canterbury and converting to Holy Roman.

Yeah, that's right. Will he sell his Ferrari, as penance? Or does he own an Aston-Martin?

My Frontier Thesis said...

...or maybe even his Jaguar or Rolls-Royce?

ferraris are nothing more than an expensive Camaro: few things scream "i am an over-fattened redneck" louder. Now, like ai suggests, an inconspicuous aston martin is an entirely different matter.

Doesn't JJ have a thing for Ferraris? If that's the case, are you suggesting that JJ aspires to be an over-fattened redneck?

I sure wish he was around to clear up some of these matters...

I do not think there is any possible debate over the red-neckedness of jj. It's even crawled up to his hair.

Tecumseh said...

Yup, JJ has a fetish for Red Ferraris. But he never drives, not even a Chevy Impala. (Is there a pun in there somewhere?)

My Frontier Thesis said...

Only a pun in the sense that an Impala is a variation on a deer? or goat?

Where is jj to defend himself!?! I feel shame when slandering someone who's not around.

Tecumseh said...

The intended pun had something to do with Vlad the Impaler, also -- too complicated, though. As for JJ, he's a grown-up man, he can defend himself -- all he's got to do is log in, and go at it. Can't drive red Ferraris, chase mountain goats, chew gum, and blog at the same time, eh, JJ?

I guess you have a point, AI. Especially with all the satellite and mobile phone uplinks nowadays. Even in a grappa mountain goat haze, JJ should be able to jam out a few one-liners.
