I am Frederick the Younger

If everyone could record a salient point or two explaining why they are most plausibly "Frederick the Younger", that would be great. Here's mine:

My Catholic upbringing allows me to "get" the Opus Dei reference. Ooops, sorry, that's wrong, it's because I read that secular fundamentalist rag The New York Times.
I read Shakespeare, once, in ninth grade. Other than that, I've only seen "Twelfth Night" performed about 50 times.
Middle inital "G" actually stands for Frederick.

Your words are barbed like my cilice. Each remind me of how awful life can be for other people. "To defend his purity, St. Francis of Assisi rolled in the snow, St. Benedict threw himself into a thornbush, St. Bernard plunged into an icy pond... You... what have you done?" -excerpt from The Way

I'll bite. 1. I've read [i]The Da Vinci Code[/i] 2. I majored in English Literature, with concentrations in Shakespeare & the romantic poets 3. I do actually live in Europe 4. I think Frederick is a sexy name (although Federico is even sexier)

Reasons why G Lib is F the Y: 1. I have a copy of "The Way" 2. I started a thread on 'liberation theology' 3. I set a trap and didn't know what I caught-- it's a smokescreen 4. I'm a librarian-- I have a degree in reference books ________________ "Hardcore Stricken Fagan at the Wad caused dance party Total Kenobi." Rory_Stark

It's me: 1. I took Shakespeare three times in college, even passed it once. 2. Used to play a card game called 'St. Francis of Assissi.' 3. I'm way into fiction. 4. I'm confirmed Catholic.

Did they make you wear [url=http://www.catholicchildrenscompany.com/comsuits/white.htm]the outfit[/url] and everything?

Posted by frame609 on 2005-04-06 17:55:42 +0000

I always dressed like that in high school.

I can't believe you have all been fooled by my Catholic ruses. As FtY I am an arrogant Jewish asshole who loves dead popes.

Oh snap!

Posted by tgl on 2005-04-06 18:51:51 +0000

I can't be FtY since I don't know what cilice means.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-04-06 21:05:00 +0000

Liar. I've seen your yearbook picture, remember.

Posted by tgl on 2005-04-06 21:43:26 +0000

FtY is lurking...

Posted by Frederick the Younger on 2005-04-07 14:44:42 +0000

I don't know, Terry... lurking implies malevolence... I am just observing. And lurkers are creepy weird, where I am a harmless-strange-odd weird, with a hint of doltish-ness and over-use of hyphens and ...s. Peace be with you, and I hope you avoid the inarticulate evil impulses of your bodies today. Especially you, BQ.

Posted by tgl on 2005-04-07 15:59:24 +0000

I know FtY.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-04-07 17:42:52 +0000

I want to know FtY. Particularly because of the abstract cautionary side-commentary to BQ.

Posted by tgl on 2005-04-07 17:58:55 +0000

On second thought, maybe I don't know FtY. Power of belief though, I can will this knowledge onto myself.

Posted by G lib on 2005-04-07 18:07:38 +0000

I think that FtY is/was a boyscout. ________________ "Hardcore Stricken Fagan at the Wad caused dance party Total Kenobi." Rory_Stark

A Jewish WeBeLo, maybe?

Unbelievable! The answer to who is Frederick the Younger has been staring us in the face all along! Hah! Briliant!

Posted by Miriam on 2005-04-11 20:17:49 +0000

I think FtheY is a Jewish carpenter.
