BRING IN FR. JACK KEARNEY!!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I received an email from Fr. Jack Kearney recently, following the ECC event. It wound up being a pretty funny conversation and I asked him if I could share it. He agreed!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is&#8230; I now have special dispensation from the church and can continue on with the reviews with my &#8220;tongue-in-cheek&#8221; humor :-)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Jack&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Comment: Hi Phil,<\/p>\n<p>My only regret about the ECC was not being patient enough to wait in<br \/>\nline to shake your hand. I just want to thank you for your incredible<br \/>\ncontributions to the vaping world. Your humor and passion touch (and<br \/>\nsave!) more lives than you will ever know. None of us can thank you<br \/>\nenough. Please keep up the good work, and I will keep you in my<br \/>\nprayers. (I am, after all, a highly trained professional in the area).<br \/>\nNo response necessary&#8230;just wanted to say thanks&#8230;and will meet you<br \/>\nin person for sure next year.<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Jack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Me&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>FATHER!!!! You were there? OMG &#8211; How did I not know that or see you!<br \/>\nI would have made the time for you!<\/p>\n<p>Although I&#8217;m quite sure we&#8217;ll cross paths again in the future, I&#8217;d like<br \/>\nto THANK YOU for your very kind words. They mean the WORLD to me!<\/p>\n<p>Now if you would please throw another blessing my way and perhaps some<br \/>\nadvanced forgiveness for all of the &#8220;tongue in cheek&#8221; humor in my videos<br \/>\nyet to come, I would certainly appreciate it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fr. Jack&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Okay, Phil&#8230;.if you can keep up the humor level of the outtakes from the<br \/>\nLegal Vape 4000 you can have a &#8220;general absolution&#8221; &amp; &#8220;plenary indulgence&#8221;<br \/>\nfor one year. (offer expires 10\/4\/2014 at midnight) For your penance you<br \/>\nhave to make sure Innokin fixes the fire button and the micro usb port on<br \/>\nthe MVP.<\/p>\n<p>See you next year!<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Jack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Me&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wow, Father I so appreciate your sense of humor. You could probably get a lot more people to church with that!<\/p>\n<p>With your permission, I&#8217;d like to post our little conversation on TYJ. I think people will get a kick out of it and appreciate it!<\/p>\n<p>I will thank you again for the support. I&#8217;m truly grateful that people get information, strength, and humor from my videos!<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to shaking your hand in person at some point.<\/p>\n<p>-PBusardo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fr. Jack&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi Phil,<\/p>\n<p>Yes, as you demonstrate so well, humor is important. People get mad at me now if I don&#8217;t tell at least one joke during my sermons. Remind me to tell you about the man who hated Italians. (ahem)<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to quote me at any time, or even make fun of me on my youtube videos. You can even give me a &#8220;I told you so&#8221; on the MVP button; you were right!<\/p>\n<p>With all your power and influence I hope you can convince Innokin (or anyone else) to make a commercial (i.e. affordable) VW box mod that has a micro usb connection, but also with replaceable 18650 batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Dimitris blessed me with a hug instead of a handshake, so I hope you will do the same when we meet&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Jack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Me&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You mean that Greek (expletives left out in current company) knew you were there and didn&#8217;t even tell me?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s going to put a serious strain on our relationship!<\/p>\n<p>Ok then, a HUG it is!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Father!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks for the conversation! I&#8217;ll see what I can do with Innokin. Hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to get an extension on 10\/4\/2014 at midnite.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad Dimitris blessed him with a hug.\u00a0 Also glad I never told him the things Dimitris blessed me with.\u00a0 HA!<\/p>\n<p>This is a good man, with a great sense of humor, to have on our side (in more ways than one! \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out Fr.
