All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
The contents of this web log will normally include ruminations on books and music, the occasional essay, ill-informed pronouncements on current events, inarticulate private disclosures, impromptu sermons, failed recipes, and fashion advice (most especially on the merits of donning the glad rags of popery). Welcome, fair reader, with all my heart!
Rest assured, it actually never crossed my mind that you might have made it. It’s not just the existence of the horrid thing that bothers me, but the fact that there is someone who obviously thought that that was a thing that one would want to possess, and, presumably, that there are people who might buy one. And I’m having trouble figuring out how anyone could make a connection between the lyrics and the object. It doesn’t even make sense.
It’s from CafePress, Janet, which allows you to put your own design on pretty much any article of clothing, or on a mug, a mouse pad, etc. Probably somebody wanted to make a t-shirt and then, on a whim, checked off the ‘thong’ box as well.
Seriously, you people need to lighten up if you think this is so offensive. If I saw a woman wearing this, it would tell me that she had a sense of humor and a love of music. Classical music in general needs to be less sanctified and self-righteous, there’s nothing wrong with having fun once in a while.
Of course, that girls might not be as much fun as one might think. I mean, she is asking God to guard and watch over her and keep her from pollution. A girl like that might not let Wes see her in her underwear.

I didn’t make that, you understand. I only found it. Don’t ask how.

When will they release a thong with Maxwell’s Equations on it?

For you, Vince. (Well, maybe not for you.)

It’s not just classical music; it’s sacred music. You’re right, there’s a time for fun, but there’s also a time for reverence.

You must not read this blog often if you think we don’t have fun.

Thanks, Janet. I’m travelling right now and don’t have much access. The irony here is that I was having fun.

I re-dub this blog, “All Manner of Thong!”
Just be sure to remember to size-up for a looser fit unless you plan to chant in a higher-than usual falsetto.

Oh, I am laughing out loud now!

Give that woman a prize!

For you, maybe.

And a time to every purpose under heaven.

Time for its thong – er, swan – song. It’s been superseded by the Chant Baby Bib. – Althea
