Thanks for the prod Fred.  I knew it would be something using yield but 
couldn't quite get my head around it.  It turned out to be simpler than 
i thought:

  def comatose_article(path)
    if page = ComatosePage.find_by_path(path)
      yield page.to_html
    elsif current_user.admin?
      yield "Couldn't find '#{path}' page"
    end
  end

Cheers, max
