A scapular chain is one of those big necklace jobs one sees on "The Lord 
Mayor of Whatsis" or his equivalent.  It's usually a badge of office.  

Certain Catholic clergy have a "scapular" as part of their vestments.

I didn't mean that it got started or evolved in written language.  And
now that I think about it, it was perhaps erroneous to say that
"copacetic" is more common in writing than in speech.  (I do think I
qualified that by saying "probably" tho.)  I might be overestimating
the size of the reading population.  I know I've read it more often
than I've said it.  I'm not sure I've ever said it.  And I *think* I've
read it more often than I've heard it said.

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

        Since it has been a long time since the Boston/ Providence
Wordslers did the Face-to-Face thing, Joan and I have come up with
a plan.

DATE:
        January 6th


TIME:
        5:30/ 6pm.


PLACE:
        Either Joans's home in Newton or my apartment in Cambridge --
whichever the most people prefer.  Joan has the advantage of a bigger
and better furnished place, while mine is more easily accessible since
I'm only a block from the Central Square T stop.  You decide.

ACTIVITIES:

        We'll be watching Brad's movie and figuring out all the Boston/
Rhode Island scenes for him while enjoying a pot luck supper, chatting,
doing all the stuff wordslers do when they get together (well, maybe
not all of it).  All Bostonians, Cantabrigians, Brownies, and whoever
else is in the area who want to show up are welcome.

        On a purely egocentric note, this will be your last chance
to see me as a single woman, since Nico and I are getting married on
the 10th.



        Comments welcome.

        Don't know if it's still the same, now that it's gone to year-round
        operation, but when I went to Dartmouth we didn't start Fall Term until
        mid-September.  It ended before Xmas.  Winter Term ran from early
        January until the end of March, and Spring Term didn't end until
        mid-June!  I never got good summer jobs, since others had been out of
        school for a month or more before I finished.

        OTOH, the standard Pitt undergraduate schedule has Spring Term
        finishing before the end of April -- commencement often interferes with
        Easter (Roman or Eastern) and/or Passover.  There's a 7-week term after
        that, during which many grad students take courses, but the undergrads
        are very scarce then.

I never bothered to try.  If I got bent out of shape every time someone took
a deity's name in vain within earshot, I'd spend half my life angry.:-/
It's not worth the bother.  As to the Pope question, I'd say it was just
incredibly rude, although it might well have been an accurate statement back
before the Reformation.  Even further back, some popes were allowed to be 
married.

I can hear it now...some pretty young thing is seen entering one of the
Borgia popes' living quarters, or trying to.  The guard asks her where
she's going and what business she has in there of all places.  She says, 
"I'm going to f*** the pope."  Then the guard, not being stupid, passes her
in without further delay.....

Well, I always thought that Darth Vader was a more interesting character
than Luke (until The Return of the Jedi).
