Big Brass Ones

Signs & Wonders

So, there I am, minding my own business, marking my territory—in this case a blue, 50 gallon trash barrel in the park—when what should appear on the barrel, but the unmistakable (if somewhat ephemeral) image of my presumptive ancestor and near namesake, Saint Dexeter, founder of Frisbetarianism. Happily, the biped was carrying his digital camera and managed to capture the absolutely authentic and unretouched photograph that has, as if of its own volition, appeared on my web page. I’m pretty sure, by the way, that that is a genuine Whamo-O brand Frisbee™, not a halo, behind the saint’s head. If so, this may be the earliest recorded image of such a device. Any way you slice it, it looks like a miracle to me. But beware of dogs (you know who you are, Lyle) who would beguile you with signs and wonders.
