Countdown

Only THREE more days until Dale Alquhist's visit.

Three is the perfect number, being the number of the Trinity, the Triangle, and the meals of the day (except for hobbits and the English, and the Italians, that is. The hobbits have 6-7, the English have four, and the Italians have one. But the Italian meal lasts all day long.)

By the way, I will not be posting on numbers two and one. You'll have to use your imagination.

Countdown

Only FOUR more days until the Student Union Auditorium is filled with people to hear about Chesterton...I hope.

Did you ever notice that the word Four has Four letters in it? Or that you can make a 4 from four sticks of equal length?

I don't know what Chesterton would say about the number four, but I bet it would be along the lines of

"Four men, and no women, are enough to form a club. For four is a crowd, and if there is a crowd, there is the possibility of speaking to nobody in particular, which is a necessary element of masculine conversation."

(If you don't understand that imaginary quote, you need to go read "What's Wrong with the World." And hurry. You have four days.)

Sorry, ladies, but I couldn't think of anything else Chestertonian relating to the number four.

Countdown

Five Days Left Till Dale's Visit! Woo Hoo! Go Big...wait a minute...

Actually, red was Chesterton's favorite color.

And now for a Sesame Street Style presentation on the Number Five.

pub?

What/where was Chesterton's favorite pub again?

not exactly Chesterton, but...

I think Chesterton would approve of this Lewis inspired project--details at www.infernalfiles.com

It's a Catholic competition of evangelization.

Idea Search

Please comment on what we should have and should not have at our table when Dale comes. You see, our organization will (or ought to have) a table in front of the door to the audiotorium. Here's some ideas to get you started.

Gilbert! magazine

A Gilbert! magazine subscription form

A UNL Chesterton Society membership form (all I need is name and e-mail)

A list of Chesterton e-resources

What's Wrong with the World (the book)

This might cost money, which might be a problem.
