As you all know, Wilf Jenkins was the Aardvark/Vanaheim lawyer for years, and during that time he was on the comp list. Wilf saved all his copies. Dave and Wilf have signed them, and there's a certificate of authenticity. The books will be available from Looking For Heroes, for $10 (CAD) plus $4 dollars shipping to Canada and $5 dollars shipping to the USA. All the money goes to the Food Bank of the Waterloo Region.
Next Time: An important Anniversary...

4 Dollars for the “Virgin”!
Aha! Dave's not the only one who reads the bible this way: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/commanded.

10% of the Virgin Batvark goes to an eBay connected charity. The other 90% to the Lebanon, TN food bank. Thanks for getting the price up but don’t bankrupt yourself. Benjamin Hobbs will be offering more copies eventually.
What means "virgin 'Batvark Penis'", if it can be told?

Damian,
Limited (253 copies) printing of Batvark: PENIS with no text on the front cover (see image in post.)

Speaking of the “Monday Report”: Dave completed his commentary for John 1 in about 14 weeks. At that rate my calculations has his exegesis of the Gospel According to John being completed in about 5.65 years. So, #294 might be the magic number here, but that’s an educated guess at best. There may be certain chapters of John which Dave devotes more attention to than others.
Just opened your link, Damian, and, to steal a quote from the late great Mel Allen, “How ‘bout that?!” Thanks for sharing.
Aha! Thanks, "Manly" Matt.

To be a little more specific, proceeds from this auction and others I do on eBay at the end of the year go to this organization:

The "local" food bank has fallen under the county umbrella. Giving to the poor and hungry in your community is important as the holidays approach in an increasingly strange year.
Thanks. Sermon over.
So, regarding Damian's link - I just happen to be in " Exodus" right now in my daily Scripture reading, and got to the "blot out the memory of the Amalekites" bit...and I couldn't help but wonder...
Why, if their memory is to be "blotted out," are they being written about in Israel's sacred history?
Maybe Matt can ask Dave what he has to say about that little paradox in next minth's "Please Hold?"
Um ... you guys do realize that link is a joke, right?
-- Damian
Yep, I do, Damian. Still, the fact that such a idea has been expressed elsewhere — even in jest — I find to be very interesting. Thanks again for sharing.
16 dollars for the “Virgin”!
Well sure, Damian - but the joke relies on "commandments" that can actually be found in the Pentateuch (sp?) - which I suspect is the point. The cartoonist whose work you link to is far from the first to point out that Scripture is full of irony and paradox.
Well, thank you for explaining to me the joke I posted. What you term "irony and paradox" might also be called self-contradiction.

(don't feed the trolls...don't feed the trolls...don't feed the trolls...)
Whew. That was close.
Or, put another way, "Don't admit the existence of anything that challenges my prejudices."
To quote a famous fictional character, "What you do with the voices in your head is your business."
Indeed! Dave's answer to that question is why we're all here.

Rock on, Counselor. (Are Canadian lawyers called "Counselor?"
