Summary

Many of you attended parties recently, to ring in a false year endorsed by no Story but by the liar we call “Calendar.” Do not congregate, least of all for the ringing of a false bell. For, by attending any gathering the Story does not endorse, you fall prey to every rude temptation! Illicit wares, rowdy conversation, and sounds you cannot unhear. Stay home, warm yourself with but the Story, and abandon any friend the Story does not already claim. Invocation Psalm: “A Thing Going ‘Round” Liturgical Reading: “Overheard at the Party” Concluding Prayer This Story had to be told, and next week another will beg for similar justice. Ohhh, we cannot deny you. Don’t forget to check out our new short film, “The Dog the Boy” https://vimeo.com/226796022 Or see it as part of a live TSMBT service: https://vimeo.com/297286015

1:21.2	Consider your many flaws as we heft the virtuous law of of the following psalm.
1:28.2	Pastor Andrew, please, if you would guide us.
1:34.9	My neighbors are loud.
1:38.6	They have people over every weekend,
1:42.0	so tonight, a quiet Tuesday, I will break into their house while they're asleep and break their hands.
1:54.0	The next day, the man, Philip, is his name, asks me if my hand had broken while I slept.
2:06.6	No, sir, I smiled.
2:09.6	Huh, he replied.
2:12.6	Well, Vicky and I, both ours did.
2:15.6	I thought maybe it's something going around. That night I couldn't
2:20.3	sleep. Why did he ask me? I was convinced they knew. So I turned on a light at my workbench, put my hands in a vice, and went to town.
2:31.3	Oh, oh Christ, fuck!
