4. Alerting! You...COLONIALIST!
Fri May 15, 2015, 03:31 PM

Congratulations! But as a Stealth Atheist in the vicinity of an Archbishop, did anybody notice the fire and brimstone smoke coming out of your ears?

Keeping the convo elevated and hi-toned, here's an alternate use for a butt...argh, the WORD "butt," dammit! I'm not talking about butts. Elevate!

From famous dead old privileged Euro white guy William Shakespeare - Richard III, who allegedly had his brother drowned in a butt (barrel) of Malmsey wine:

First Murderer: Tut, I am strong-fram'd, he cannot prevail with me.
Second Murderer: Spoke like a tail fellow that respects his reputation. Come, shall we to this gear?
First Murderer: Take him over the costard with the hilts of thy sword, and then throw him into the malmsey-butt in the next room.

WARNING: there is not a scintilla of evidence that Richard III did all the Bad Stuff blamed on him. And Shakespeare copied a lot of his tale from the Tudor apologist/propangandist Thomas More.
