    It's the "Not getting out of my robe for 2 days/102 degree temperature thing" isn't it?

          uhhhh. Speak for yourself. I may deviate from kosher from time to time and break down and eat a bacon cheeseburger with a side order of fried clams, but digging the sick, diseased, and unclean is something I don't go for... Being a recovering hypocondriac, I have to watch myself and the company I hang around with or I will break out in hives...

              Ahh. Just thinking dirty... For some that's a sin, others a pleasure, and still others a way of life...

              Speaking of dirt (i love a tangent or a non-sequitor)... Everybody knows Charles Schultz's Peanuts and Charlie Brown? Sure you do! ... Well, occasionally you will see a strip that features Schroeder (usually in tandem with Lucy, who had a crush on him), and sometimes you will see the bird Woodstock (who primarily appears with Snoopy), and other times you will see one that features Marcie and Peppermint Patty (who I think were a little like Xena and Gabriella in that I think something more than friendship was possible between those two), but only once in a blue moon will you see Benjamin (the African-American Peanuts character who only appears in animated Charlie Brown movies and then only as a member of a jazz combo whenever the need for one arises in Peanuts), but one Peanuts character calls to mind, one who had started so prominently and who was then banished, as it were. Of course, I'm speaking of Pigpen! I mean, after a time, you never see Pigpen anymore. It's like he dropped off the face of the earth. Why is that? Did he become a pariah? A typhoid Mary who had become a liability? Any thoughts?

                More importantly, what happened to Rerun?

                  Rerun? In my opinion, it's tragic, just tragic.... I think the fate of Rerun has greater implications... I think with Rerun Schultz was identifying what he saw as an individual's place within the greater cosmos, on both a personal and holistic level... And Linus, for all of his religious aphorisms, couldn't articulate what he saw or felt...

                    What I didn't say in the above, but I should have, was that I based this upon a careful reading of "The Gospel According to Peanuts." Other authors, however, interpret the rarely seen supernatural character (who appears only once in the history of Peanuts and which I have never seen) that abducts/raptures Rerun as either Satan/Martians/Christ (or God), depending upon the philosophy/religious bent of the individual reader. Despite the informative books, "The Tao of Pooh," (please don't get me started on Christopher Robin's role), "Brother Benjamin: The Multi-Culturalism of Peanuts and its influence on Wee-Pals," and in addition to the over-handed Christian preachiness of the amputee figure in Peter Hart's "B.C."), I see that Rerun was meant to be seen as a negative example to us all and therefore condemned to an afterlife of everlasting torment and hell (a glimpse of which appears while Charlie Brown waits to make a full confession, in "It's a mortal sin, Charlie Brown."). Whereas Linus (an anagram of "Sin Lu" = "without sin") is to be seen as God's representative on earth, Rerun (an anagram of "runer" = either a follower of runes/satanic writing or a ruin/who by following him becomes a ruin/er of mankind) is clearly trouble. Lucy, I haven't figured out yet. Either she a) a Jezebel or b) just a bitch. I tend to think the latter.
