Spectacled Theologian Hall of Fame

The first person who can correctly name all of these people in the ‘Spectacled Theologian Hall of Fame’ will win a kit-kat: That is, if ever I encounter you in person (which is more likely for some than others, admittedly), I will personally buy you a kit-kat… or if you are a vegan, I’ll buy you some parsley.  The offer is valid for ten (10) years after the winner has been announced.

    Wow! That’s very good. You’re in the running.

    I should add that there are bonus prizes of Mars Bars (vegan option: spiced tofu) for anyone who can give good, humourous captions for any of the photos.

    One Mars bar/spiced tofu for Bryan for mentioning Hegelian synthesis (it’s an honours system for remembering what I owe you when we meet up).

    Bonhoeffer, Wright and Dalai Lama, so I guess I’ll end up in the “Hall of Shame” (smile).

    WHEW!! And I thought Eurovision was exciting – voting has now closed at the ‘Spectacled Theologian Hall of Fame’ (but humorous captions still allowed)… we have ourselves a winner. There was a lot of good work put in early on, but after a dangerous swerve toward Jenson, Chris Tilling came good, and even included an umlaut to secure a perfect score. Congrats Chris – you’ve won yourself a kitkat, should we meet!!

    My only slight disappointment that everyone so quickly jumped to the (admittedly correct) conclusion that the guy in the bottom row was me… didn’t anyone look at the pic and think to themselves, “Hmm he’s OBVIOUSLY a very important and well-published theologian – just look at him”??!

    Anyway, well done all – and commiserations to Bosnia-Herzegovina for not winning the Eurovision song contest, despite me voting for them.

    One mars bar/spiced tofu to Carolyn for the Brady Bunch comment. I don’t know who the housekeeper is, but I’ve got a feeling I’m Cindy… and Bonhoeffer looks like he’s just “broken mom’s favourite vase” by “playing ball in the house”…

    Roger – you were THIS CLOSE to being included, but.. umm… okay you weren’t that close to being included – but maybe down the track I’ll have a “Simpsonized Theologians Hall of Fame”. I’ve got a good feeling about your inclusion in that one.

    So I owe one kitkat/parsley to Chris Tilling; one mars bar/tofu to bryan and one mars bar/tofu to Carolyn. I will definitely pay up if I see you, so don’t forget to hold me to it!!

    Alas, you’re too late… I hit the big time about 2 hours ago, just as I was eating my pasta for dinner…

    But Matt, those two propositions aren’t mutually exclusive. ;)
