Actually, the reference itself isn't that obscure, it's just that no one but me would connect it with what I was writing about. I was writing about the importance of perpetual ecstasy, which made me think that it's probably reasonable to assume that at any given moment, many people are in extasis. And that, in turn, made me think of the scene in <I>Amelie</I>, where she wonders how many women in Paris are having an orgasm at that particular moment. "Quinze!"<BR/><BR/>Of course, at any given moment, thousands of people are praying, but we still have monks whose job it is to pray, so the fact that there are multiple orgasms in Paris at all times really doesn't take away from the important work of the Brothers of Perpetual Extasis.TEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765245186357910074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080750207800492571.post-66714071721668674132008-09-27T08:08:00.000-04:002008-09-27T08:08:00.000-04:00Maybe the reference are the 15 candles of the Tene...Maybe the reference are the 15 candles of the Tenebrae Hearse?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080750207800492571.post-88979333326125668992008-09-26T19:35:00.000-04:002008-09-26T19:35:00.000-04:00PICK ME !!PICK ME !!Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413086752729344695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080750207800492571.post-39100002010622068332008-09-26T13:33:00.000-04:002008-09-26T13:33:00.000-04:00Even though I googled it I don't get a cookie eith...Even though I googled it I don't get a cookie either - oh well. As for the Order - a bit too Tantric for my taste. I had planned to join the Theras, but time moved on too swiftly for me to catch up. Now, every day above ground is a joy and every orgasm a thrill. FDR closed all the banks the day I was born. Such an omen. It gives me a giggle to think about that.
