I was flipping through a copy of Man and Superman at the library today, and discovered a randomly placed card with a picture of Jesus on the front, and some religious sentiment on the back. Feeling ironic, I moved it to Androcles and the Lion, which includes a 100-plus page essay containing Shaw's thesis that Jesus was a communist, and other general blasphemy. (That's longer than the play itself, actually, and is one of the many reasons I love GBS) I wish I could see the person who discovers the card there. I also wish I could know what happens to it thereafter- if it continues to circle various Shavian plays, or moves on to other more blasphemous works.

I'm living in some sort of crazy little commune college called Hampshire, and I have adventures that mainly involve wearing top hats and making silly faces. When I get some time between reading books about war and books about Jews, I tell you about my adventures, which are always more interesting than your life.
