For some reason this video came to mind today. I forgot how excellent it really was and thought I would put it up again because it is so fun. From the date of the video, this must have occurred right after he turned sixteen during his Junior year at NCSU.

Kelly sent me a link yesterday to a brilliant list titled How to Tell If You’re In a Flannery O’Connor Story was posted on a web site called The Toast. Some of my favorites from virtually all the great items on the list are:
- You are being horrible to a blood relative. They drop dead.
- You suspect a Baptist is lying to you.
- You are lying about where your Bible is.
- Someone’s hatlessness merits explicit reference.
The funny deal is the web site had come onto my radar earlier in the day due to an interesting article I read about one of the co-founders of the site. I looked at it and it really was not my cup of tea, so I was quite pleased with the O’Connor that came from Kelly in the afternoon. That all lead me on to a story about the amazing writing career and short, interesting life of Flannery O’Connor at New Georgia Encyclopedia. It is also, well worth the read.
