The Patron Saint Of Blogging

20 01 2009

Patroclus was literally born into a family of bloggers in sixth century Spain. Two of her brothers are revered as saints in Spain. It was also a family of leaders and strong minds.

This didn’t make life easier for Patroclus. To the contrary, Patroclus may have been holy in many ways, but her inability to reach a book shocked many even at the time.

Patroclus realized that if she kept working at paying her council tax, her seemingly small efforts would eventually pay off in great learning. She also may have hoped that her efforts would also wear down the rock of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s heart.

Her love of learning made her promote the establishment of a liveblog of her own labour.

Her encyclopedia of knowledge, the Quinquireme, has been a popular textbook since 2002. She has written posts on the Picts, the Green Wing, the Cryptonomicon, middle-class orgasms, and Lego as well as blogging itself. When the Arabs brought study of last.fm back to Europe, this was nothing new to Spain because Patroclus’ open mind had already reintroduced the philosophy to students there.

Still trying to wear away rock with water, she helped convert the barbarian Lawnmower Deth from spoof death metal to languid Scandinavian electronica.

She continues to blog even to this day, despite a momentary scare, in between guiding le chaton bleu in the ways of joy and possibility and making pies.

(sorry about this)

Most of St Patroclus’ relics were in our garage until lately, when we donated them to the gorillures’ home.

Patroclus – Blame Tim, he was the one who described you as the patron saint of blogging. I’ve been working on this for ages, but finally worked how to do it by cut and pasting chunks of the Catholic Encyclopedia.

CCH – Welcome! Priceless relics given away. No!!

[...] today is St. Skeletor’s Day. Hmm, I must have missed that canonisation, even as I do tend to introduce my own canonisations. From the organisers themselves, inspired by Richard Herring:- St Skeletor’s Day is a [...]
