but i did buy myself a cheap resin 12" Saint Malverde statue instead. They just did an article about him in the NY Times... turns out he's the 'Mexican Robin Hood'.. except in their version of the archetype he's a leader of a drug cartel and he protects dealers from the police.

How can you live without one of these in your home... I had to get it.

is there a patron saint of incomplete fillet brazing?I think I'd go for St. Christopher: Saint Christopher medals and holy cards in Spanish have the phrase "Si en San Cristóbal confías, de accidente no morirás" ("If you trust St. Christopher, you won't die in an accident").*

In business school we had a professor of German descent who had big fat hands and at the start of the school year he'd bang the blackboards and ask: Do you know why our blackboards are green? Do you?, he'd ask threateningly. Of course, no one would dare answer. So he'd say: Because dollars are green, and dollars are beautiful.

Some other times he'd walk into the classroom, look around, play out the silence and expectation, and then pull from his pocket a fat wad of dollar bills and say: I love money, money is sweet and beautiful. He'd smile and start the class.

He'd probably get along just fine with that Mexican patron saint. Just sayin...
