Last night, at a special ceremony down by the ferry terminal, the Christmas light display was switched on by our special guest of honor, Jóhann Þór Jóhannsson of the Asiatic Eskimos of Reykjavik Disco Dancers.
Once again, my friend Hans Neezenboompzadazen, from Amsterdam, has provided us with a stunning selection of lights in glowing red. We are most grateful to Hans for supplying the island with these Christmas lights at such a low cost.
Rev. Brimstone gave thanks and closed his prayer by saying that he hoped overseas tourists would feel welcomed by the addition of the large red sign hanging over the church hall, reading “Rood lichtdistrict’. (Hans informs us that this means “joy to mankind” in Dutch.)
The international appeal of our sign has already proven itself, as the Polish bridesmaids in our community are lured to stand beneath it every night. Acting as tour guides, our Polish ladies have been escorting visitors to the back of the church hall to appreciate it from the rear.
“Takings in the church collection plate have mysteriously escalated to extraordinary amounts, and this truly must be ‘a sign from above’,” said Rev. Brimstone.
Following the ceremony, the new disco ball was also switched on at The Dangly Crystal Balls Dance Hall, where Jóhann Þór Jóhannsson and the Asiatic Eskimos of Reykjavik Disco Dancers gave a stunning display of the YMCA song, choreographed by Daft Uisdean.

Hello Torquil its Donnie with the hair lip here wondering when I can collect the pig that I won in the raffle at the light ceremony. Is it a live pig or is it freezer ready?
Have you heard the news about Big Maggie Ann Minty?
Hello there Donnie with the hair lip, my good friend, I hear you're breeding rabbits now.
Murdina at the butchers said your pig is freezer ready. Jean knitted some bootees for its trotters and Annie's filled a hot water bottle.
Oh No, are you telling us that Minty married her? Surely not?
What are we going to do now about the competition now?
