i don't understand why he isn't in more things...
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
I often find that people who think they aren't good people, are good people who recognize their flaws and have trouble reconciling them with their inherent goodness; whereas, truly horrible people not only think they are wonderful, but fail to discern any of their actions as awful.
You're not a bad person, you're just cursed with a conscience, and a desire to be better than you are. But isn't that what separates us from the apes?
German puns. I approve.
Abdhy I will be your movie buddy. I always need a movie buddy.
Time for a speculative blog post??
Now off to bed for I to read Earthsea while watching Red Dwarf.
There shall be some strange dreams
and then the account goes on to teach account school
and destroy the young, bright-eyed accounts
thus the cycle continues
I did a similar thing for my proposal, just didn't tell my wife that she had leave. Just stole her cell phone and refused to let her go to work.

My calves have always been pretty large (I think its because I have flat feet? I don't have like, scientific backing for this, just gut feeling. But even in my days when all I did was sit in a chair playing WoW people would usually ask me what sport I played when they saw my calves. I dunno) but from kendo they are now like, rock fucking hard.
was kind of punching above my weight on that one
i know like maybe twenty german words
The original is actually worse, all things considered. There are some parts that were just straight up lifted from classical Greek writers because that was the only way they could persuade the literate world to read it and teach it to their sons.
Like that bit in Mark about Jesus and the disciples sailing up to the island inhabited by the demoniac named "legion?" Basically a plagiarism of the part in the Odyssey where Odysseus and his band sail up to the island inhabited by the cyclops, and he tells him that his name is "no man."
:winky:
I haven't looked forward to the 17th of may like this in ages. This is gonna be a good day.
what part? I can only go by the word of various scholars I have read but some bits are apparently very well written.
But if you are starting at the beginning, then Genesis is a confused muddle of contradictory different sources mashed into one document. Though the story of Jacob is supposed to be well written.
You might be onto something with calves an flat feet. I have both.
I miss my rock hard calves I had in Japan. I could crush rocks with them. Now they are only semi-hard.
Either he hasn't moved in 24 hours or you're recycling pictures!

mostly i think he's just trying to get a new girlfriend without first breaking up with the current one
it's pretty lousy
Whoa the cyclops was Eowyn?
I did something like that when I proposed to my ex-wife. I talked to her boss in advance to arrange for her to have the day off. I let her go into work and then surprised her by picking her up.
Only for a limited time though.

It's a sci-fi book where the Fremen culture is directly descended from actual Muslims. As in, in the "past" of that story you will find present day Earth.
Oh he is. He's just very discrete about it.
Sudden craving for fried chicken.
Edit: Also not racist.

Well, yeah, you're right. It still stands to be seen how strong a force my conscience is.
Just sayin'.
hah, also this.
John is the only book of the four gospels that was well written.
@So It Goes was talking earlier about the Julian the Apostate, the last Pagan emperor of the Roman empire who was also something of a literary critic when he basically asked the question, "If this book is the literal Word of God, then why does God write like he's a fucking eight year old goatherd?"
my legs are magnificent.
I was reading Matthew. But the beginning of Genesis is also confusing as fuck.
I don't know what version this is, though. It was one of those "placed by the Gideons" ones I stole from a hotel room.
But, yeah, I imagine it differs a lot between different gospels. Seeing as some of them are like epic poems and what not.
well shit I can't even remember one
The whole first book is very much Ibn Khaldun's view on the cyclical nature of invasion by barbarians.
that one fried chicken will feed a multitude
True, but my calves tend to stay huge even when I weighed 145 lbs.
oh yeah the New Testament. Definetly not the well written parts I was thinking of (ie: the court history of David that spans several of the divisions of "books" as the Greeks divided them, or the middle poetry of Job without the bullshit later additions, or Judges 5 with the Song of Deborah - and that even translates well). Though I admire the simplicity of Mark.
But, since he didn't specify, I thought he might be started with the Tanakh.
Which in fairness, was probably very exotic and not as transparent in 1965.
