Westcottian Tattler
Actual Conversation Overheard at Westcott: (Some names and faces have been changed to protect the innocent.) Ordinand 1: Let's go for dinner. Archer: Sure Ordinand 2: Where? Ordinand 1: How about the Chinese place around the corner? Archer: Ooh...sweet. Ordinand 2: Which one? Ordinand 1: You know, the one next to the book binder shop. Ordinand 2: Oh right...the...uh...what's the name of it...the Stinky Buddha. Archer: Why would I want to eat at a place called the Stinky Buddha? Ordinand 2: no, no, Stinky Buddha...that doesn't sound right Ordinand 1: Yeah, I think its the Obese Buddha, or something like that. Ordinand 2: That still does not sound right...um...The Big Buddha. Ordinand 1: Brilliant. That's the one. Archer: Right! Big Stinky Obese Buddha...let's go! And I once thought recalling pastoral conversations for CPE verbatims was a worthless talent.
