Reason for application:
Through word of mouth (er, blog) via D. Papersurfer, I have learned of your wondrous deeds and do wish to be so certified. To obtain validation of such a prestigious organization would be quite the feather in my cap!
While I readily admit that I am nearly paralyzed with fear at the thought of receiving a “Rejected” stamp, I’ll never know without trying, so….here I go!
Additionally, while considering this humble Reverend’s humble application, do consider that several years ago I vowed to name my future dog (a golden retriever with a red bandanna wrapped snugly about his neck) The Colonel.
Mnyeeesss…..mnyeesss….hmmm. Do you know, this presents a quandry. Does God exist? And indeed, without God, there would surely not be our Neigbourhood Reverend. So I must ask you this. Does our Neighbourhood Reverend actually exist? This is a paradox that I have raised many times with the college Chaplain. We discussed this over a most wonderful evening supper of roasted flamingo and potted elk, which was accompanied by the finest and most delicate of 1968 Sauternes. A marvellous vintage indeed. Dear Chaplain shows the most exquisite of tastes. As as as as as indeeEEeed do the writings of our Neighbourhood Reverend, who discourses on such varied matters as American village fetes, the nuances of the English language, and seemingly a feline companion called Patsy. However, as the good Reverend may not, theoretically, exist, I am myself unable to pass comment on the validity of this application. I must therefore defer to my dear colleagues The Colonel, and to the enchanting Frau Von Sauertraut on this matter, with my recommendation to refer to WBC statute 286, clause viii: Applications For Council Approval Submitted By Theoretical And/Or Theological Entities.

Ja, the Professor makes an interesting point. Und I see that this Reverend was awarded the honour of the FMB Blog of the Day on Feb 29, a day that does not always exist. However, I like this avocado experiment so obviously WBC statute 286 does not apply. Approval ist hereby granted.

Dear Frau
My most gracious thanks to you. The concept that this application and therefore experiment may actually be an avocado is a fascinating one. A 2003 Jerez Don Simone Amontillado should accompany this quite correctly. And I must say that the good Reverend displays the same merits as an avocado. He is quite excellent in a sandwich, along with some of the Biology department’s free range freshly irradiated chicken. Now then, can we get that tea chappie to top up the Jammie Dodgers?

I’m so glad you’ve seen sense. The Holyvicaryerhonourness is always handing out strengthening cups of tea ……. he’s a jolly good egg as well and even if he doesn’t exist - he ought to…..
I shall admit here and now that days exist where I myself doubt mine own existence! This glorious Sunday not being one of them, I shall humbly hold hat in hand and thank the Council for such benevolence!
Does such recognition by the Council lend credence to my seemingly wavering existence? I shall continue such contemplation whilst crooning to the avocado this afternoon…
Respectfully, unobtrusively, unpretentiously, and irrevocably yours,
The Rev.
ps: Tea?
