Random reflections on theology, politics, sports and TEC (The Episcopal Church).
So what does Gig-em mean? "At a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game, A&M board of regent Pinky Downs '06 shouted, 'What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?' His muse did not fail him as he improvised, borrowing a term from frog hunting. "Gig 'em, Aggies!" he said as he made a fist with his thumb extended straight up. And with that the first hand sign in the Southwest Conference came into being.'"

Chesterton once again...
"Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian"—Orthodoxy
Off-topic, but today I came across another pithy Chesterton quote while reading U.S. News & World Report. When people say that science has shaken their faith in immortality, what do they mean? Did they think that immortality was a gas?
Maybe time to dust off that old copy of Orthodoxy... Greg
