I read, with delight, a leaflet on magickal tours the other day. You know: Rosicrucian sites, Cathar sites, Knights bloody Templar. An all-roads-lead-to-Rosslyn Chapel kind of a thing, with a nice pentagram at the bottom. The kind of thing to which Dan Brown has given a bad name.
What I loved most about this leaflet was the small print. For purposes of anonymity, we'll call the tour guide John Smith. I read this:
Tour guide: John Smith, BA (Hons), (Reading for History) MA.
Aaah! I love this. Made me want to go on the tour.
Yours sincerely,
Pluvialis, BA (Hons) MA (cantab), MPhil, (didn’t finish) PhD

Ooops. Typo! corrected....
There's hope for me yet!

Is that like Dr Chou N. Ginsberg, MA (failed)?
HA! Synchronicity. I've just got back from a really silly and rather good Agatha Christie at the Arts Theatre (ah, simple escapism) and it made me think of Murder By Death...

The performance of Peter Sellers made me think of Fu Manchu...
And then I found this.

Back to Dr Chou N. Ginsberg, MA (failed).
Wooo!
You've been tagged by me! Yes, another meme...
Wow - how have I not heard of Murder by Death before? Rushing out to find a copy now!
You may have won this time - but you have not heard the last of Dr Chou N. Ginsberg, MA(failed). Goodbye.
Glad to see they have The Talons of Weng Chiang, my favorite of all pastiches.
"Lascars, Dacoits and Thugs"-- God but I love that Orientalist nonsense!

Awesome information! Such a wonderful reference! Thanks for all the hard work you have obviously put into this!
