And now for some more whacky humor about that whacky Iranian Prophet: Gimmie That Old Time Religion We will follow Zarathustra, Zarathustra like we use to, I’m a Zarathustra booster, And he’s good enough for me (Chorus) In the church of Aphrodite, The priestess wears a see through nightie, She’s a mighty righteous sightie, And she’s good enough for me! (Chorus) We will worship like the Druids, Dancing naked in the woods, Drinking strange fermented fluids, And its good enough for me Chorus Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion Give me that old time religion ‘Cause it’s good enough for me! Quoted by Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) Of course your title is a Shieldism for Nietzsche’s novel “Thus Spake Zarathustra.

And now for some more whacky humor about that whacky Iranian Prophet:

Gimmie That Old Time Religion

We will follow Zarathustra,
Zarathustra like we use to,
I’m a Zarathustra booster,
And he’s good enough for me
(Chorus)
In the church of Aphrodite,
The priestess wears a see through nightie,
She’s a mighty righteous sightie,
And she’s good enough for me!
(Chorus)
We will worship like the Druids,
Dancing naked in the woods,
Drinking strange fermented fluids,
And its good enough for me
Chorus
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
‘Cause it’s good enough for me!

Quoted by Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

You've just alluded to a 48 year old malaprop by a BBDO media director who will remain nameless and shameless in perpetuity. After a presentation of a multi-million dollar campaign to a big steel client, he solemnly assured them that if they approved the campaign they and their products would stand out like Tom Thumb -- which is so perfectly inept that if he had gotten it right, it would have been worse. Some of the brightest writers in advertising (his co-workers) held a brainstorm to see if they could come up with a worse malaprop, and they couldn't. The closest they came was, "You can't get blood from a turtle." Amazing! You’ve just alluded to a 48 year old malaprop by a BBDO media director who will remain nameless and shameless in perpetuity.
