I grow weary of the serious questions.
But I think we need to include more interpretation. What are these really about:
1. ". . . eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness" (Ezekiel 12:18).
2. "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them" (Jeremiah 9:7).
3. "When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long" (Psalm 32:3).
4. "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:12).
5. "Why are you so down-hearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?" (1 Sam. 1).
6. ". . . all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33).
7. "Thou shalt find it after many days" (Eccl. 11:1).
And here's just a random, delightful question:
8. "According to Proverbs 27:15, what is like a constant dripping on a rainy day?"
8 comments:
12) A nagging woman?
I meant 8). Apparently my brain has died.
Yep, evidently.
"A quarrelsome or argumentative woman."
1. ". . . eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness" (Ezekiel 12:18). = California / quaking = earthquakes / Drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness / overpopulation of a relatively arid area equals water shortage.
2. "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them" (Jeremiah 9:7). LORD of Hosts = Martha Stewart (Duh!) / Behold, I will melt them, and try them = Deciding what do with unused crayon ends, decides to take up liturgical candle carving (liturgical candle carving http://candlecarving.googlepages.com/carving)
3. "When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long" (Psalm 32:3). = Wax on. Wax off. A perfect encapsulation of the Karate Kid movies.
4. "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:12). He = Tom Hanks / Waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days = The movie Castaway / Blessed = Will be a good career move
5. "Why are you so down-hearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?" (1 Sam. 1). = Dubya on the US population and the war in Iraq
6. ". . . all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). = Angelina Jolie will adopt all children.
7. "Thou shalt find it after many days" (Eccl. 11:1). = My car keys! I knew they had to be somewhere!
Yep, I am way too bored. Must ask for more responsibility at work on Monday.
LC--yours are lots more clever and funny, but here I go:
1. ". . . eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness" (Ezekiel 12:18). Those damn cats....they should eat their food and stop whining for canned food and treats or I'll beat them with a shoe!
2. "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them" (Jeremiah 9:7).
Sarah and Todd Palin the next time they go out helicopter hunting some wolves. Alternately, John McCain, in a debate with Barack Obama. Or Sarah Palin's family. Or Joe the Plumber.
3. "When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long" (Psalm 32:3).
Me, sitting around at a family Thanksgiving. Or at my brother's house listening to his angry male spiel. Or in a David Lawton lecture.
4. "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:12).
Us...when we hand in our dissertations and defend them. Yay!
5. "Why are you so down-hearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?" (1 Sam. 1).
Gotta stick with David to Jonathan and vice versa! It's my theme, you know. I could also go with the whole priest/altar boy/nun thingie, but that's a little too seedy, you know.
6. ". . . all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33).
Mountain lions, to you know who. (To anyone but Tammy, I admit, it's a bit of a private joke)
7. Thou shalt find it after many days" (Eccl. 11:1).
My sanity, especially after Olivia gets done with another chorus of Ba Ba Ba.....Ba Ram Yu! Ba Ba Ba......Ba Ram Yu! And goes to sleep past 10 since Aunt Baca gave her diet coke at 8 PM!!!!!
Also, her other blue shoe...it seems to be mysteriously missing.....
Bonus:
"According to Proverbs 27:15, what is like a constant dripping on a rainy day?"
I'm not sure I should go there....let's just say, it involves Clarence and a certain body part.
My favorite.
4. "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:12).
Us...when we hand in our dissertations and defend them. Yay!
ewww about Clarence! LOL
2. "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them" (Jeremiah 9:7).
Smores! mmmmm....
"I will melt them, and try them!"
I have a new answer for #8:
Having just watched Law and Order SVU from this past week (we recorded it), I have to say the sap from its crappy Eliot-based super-schmaltzy episode. Man did it ever suck. I kept checking to see how much was left every few minutes. Sap, sap sappy.
Cheers!
