Nah, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, don'tcha know?!   

Points because I love the word “hobgoblin” and wish there were more ways to include it in conversation.

Yes, we do…darn it!  And from what I know about you, you walk the path with much more perfection than I do.

By the way:  ich war in Hamburg auf Mission.  🤓

I try to love everyone. Mr. Dan made being so towards him very, very, very difficult. He probably doesn't remember me at all. But then, I didn't behave towards him in the way that he behaved towards me. Yes, I hold a grudge. Almost my only grudge. 

Wann war das? Ich habe in Düsseldorf zwischen 1972 und 1974 missioniert.

Also, du bist ein Hamburger, nicht war? :v

Ja, sicher!  Das bin ich doch!  Lieber ein Hamburger als ein Berliner (aka jelly-filled donut!)

Und ich bin Düsseldorfer! Aber das klingt nicht so lustig.

Ich bin Hamburger, aber Ich wohne in Berlin.  Oder, Ich bin Berliner, aber Ich wohne in Hamburg.  Ich vergesse.

Is that so?  Did it pique your interest to the very peak, or only mildly so?  This sort of thing really isn't in my ouvre ... but maybe I'll have a peek.     (Sorry.  Coudn't resist!  As the noted Professor of English, the great Dr. Festus Doofus, Ph.D., of the University of Southern Nowhar put it once, "Them homophones, they's tricky thangs!"  )

Thanks for catching that, I've been typing posts quickly lately (due to my time limitations) and as I was typing that post I was thinking I should check the usage on that word (spelling is NOT one of my strong points).  I noticed another post where I did something similar recently (it was another homophone), but I can't remember which one it was now.

If it weren't for pedantry, I would have no fun at all!  

Pedantry, isn't that a pantry for shoes?   Maybe even for hobgoblin shoes?

For those who are of the opinion that Dan is a member of the church in name only, he has done a few videos recently where he discusses the church and defends it to some degree, as he does somewhat in this topic:

He also talks about the church in one of the interviews about his book (if I remember correctly).  I'll see if I can find that.

The thing about hobgoblin shoes, if you click them together and say, three times, "There's no place like home!" that's exactly where you end up!
