I have nothing to contribute there. I'll stay here.

There's a fresh new open/screaming art thread. Hardly been touched.

Caption: "OMG! Where are my ears??"

Locker rooms are bad enough when you're just a bunch of heteros of the same sex. Don't drop the soap jokes and all that. It was many decades back, but I still remember once, soph year of HS, after showers, a guy made a remark about, well, my junk. Geez, man, you were taking a look, even a judgmentally scrutinizing look? Get away from me!

I think if girls' sports teams just take the proper equipment into the locker room with them - baseball bats, hockey sticks - and know how to apply them correctly to the invading boys, the problem will sort itself out.

G'morning, y'all.

Speaking of airline "safety," Why don't Commercial Airplanes have Parachutes? (from Today I Found Out)

"...As much as I'm personally interested in hearing about your recent bout with diarrhea..."

Dined at a local greasy spoon yesterlunch. Unavoidably overheard the gals at the next table discussing their various medical histories, including details on a nose piercing. No cellphones required.

I think I'd better hit warp drive and vanish before I random more. Have a have a, folks.

Insert pithyism here.

kbdabear's links - sometimes they look unpleasantly pouty ... once one gets around to noticing the face.

2nd link, 2nd girl, the one with the green flannel plaid top?

A real take-home-to-meet-the-parents smile. (Not necessarily dressed like that, though.)

Wait, is that a tramp stamp?

Never mind.

Maybe it's just a bad bruise. Or a birthmark.

qdpsteve: ...Thanks for the great chat...

I'm not chatty so I know this doesn't include me.

G'night, anyway.

I dunno. I just can't get into it tonight. Commentosis absentia. So, random stuff:

Y'remember that boat that they had a web contest to name, and ended up naming Prof Fuddyduddly (polled #4) instead of the #1 web poll winner?

The boat will have robo-subs, one of which they did name "Boaty McBoatface."

Minor win for web moronosphere.

If I said I was home and back on the forum for a while...

Would you hold it against me?

Or...

I'll hum a few bars and you can fake it?

Or...

Your punchline here but you didn't build that.

D) Nun of thee above?

Well, here we are, together again.

Okay, I'm not all that together...

The Misunderstanding of Suffering - Discourse on Job

The lunch spot for Morons:

Whilst thou canst not always obtain what thou desirest,
whilst thou canst not always obtain what thou desirest,
if thou triest sometimes,
thou mightest find,
thou gettest what thou needest.
Yea, verily.

And again, Margarita DeVille #271 and Anonosaurus Wrecks #277 sorta made my #283 seem verbose.

Great thoughts with but a single mind?

Book of Job is a theological dialectic. Similar to the Bhagavad Gita in that the story is just a frame for allowing the characters to discuss ideas and convey doctrine.

The Zoroastrian influence of an "equal" God and Devil is in evidence in the framing scene, but past that, the real meat is all the friends of Job bringing to him their ideas of why he's fallen on hard times, and how he refutes each bad idea.

It's most interesting in that he really doesn't find a solid answer - and in terms of God & Devil just playing dice with his life, no wonder - there isn't one. But it's valuable for the parsing of what are the wrong ideas.

But what do I know? I'm just some Moron on the interwebz.

Agent Cooper: The kind and loving God I was taught about would NEVER do an awful thing like this.

Ever since I was a yout' in the pews, I've found that the standard of Jesus' teachings about the nature of God was a good yardstick for measuring truth.

Never having been a Biblical Fundamentalist, I peruse scripture looking for truth, not presuming it's all factual.

Questioning not just the Absoluteness of the Bible and some Christians' interpretations thereof, I've even been told I can't be a Christian. By some standards, I'm not; fine; I leave whether that matters up to Christ.

But seems t'me like God is consistent but our view of God has grown, however gradually, over time.

Reminds me of what Mark Twain said about how, when he was a young fellow, his dad was the stupidest man alive, but when Twain grew up, it was amazing how much the old man had learned...!

Lizzy #76 and WOPR #79 made my #108 point better.

Someone almost always beats me to a remark.

But I got first.

Folks here who identify with the resentment of the loyal son, just like in the parable?

Jesus sure had a knack for nailing it.

The loyal son's dutifulness was not unappreciated, but he was self-centered and resentful instead of joyous at the return of the wayward brother.

Faithful in duty but loveless in heart is not familial at all. Which was the "lost" son at that point?

I hope he got over it.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

I swear, officer. I didn't kill the thread. It was already dead when I got here!

zzzz's y'all.

Love one another... appropriately.
