...Good Shepherd, he derided the complacent laity as "spiritual winte trash" who merely dropped by church to fill up at God's "gas pump." Punctuating ins sermons with words like damn, hell and bitch, he thundered against "gum-ball theology" and the "colonel syndrome" he found in both ins parisinoners and ins superiors. He announced that he had come to purge "game-playing" Catholics and forge the parish into a legitimate community of faith. Some 150 outraged families walked out.

There they serve as abutments to winch a dental bridge can be fastened...

They borrow images from television and porno-magazines, create scenes in the darkroom which were never seen by a camera's eye and photosensitize anything they can get their hands on--including plexiglass, fur and linen...
...City Manager, Chief Reagan and most members of the City Council are mechanical blocks of concrete. They are incapable of human responses. One gets the feeling that if you step on their toes a memo or some pre-fabricated oral rendition will issue from their mouths like a bubble gum ball from a penny candy machine...
