Thanks for the email, Chris B.! Props also to Robert Montoya for helping with the writing and research on this one.
Somehow, I don’t think I had ever heard of Bishop Berkeley before fielding this question. It’s nice to have a wide receiver you can defer these things to.
Bravo. The French accent is forever hilarious. So are wide receivers.
I had fun choosing a play for the chalkboard. (David helped too.)
The detail adds to the enjoyment.
I can’t hear the name of Bishop Berkeley without thinking of the New Zealand comedian John Clarke’s comments about that sort of thinking leading to picking spots of light off the wall, but ironically, it turns out that he was more having a go at Decartes with that comment.
And now I’m gonna want to check out this John Clarke guy! Thanks for bringing him up, Maarvarq. Doing these Reader Mailbags can really expand a guy’s horizons.
This is great!
