It says "loins." Duh. You're supposed to fall about snickering. Or maybe faint in shock. Do get with it.

Oh, it's not ejectworthy at all! I love it! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Hey, the whatsit said, "Which hallowed verse makes you laugh for all the wrong reasons?" So I suggested it. As well as the "pisseth against a wall" one on the other thread, though someone else beat me to one or two other similar naughty-sounding ones.
(And yes, that's my real name. Hi! )
Seriously, did no one realize this was one of mine? I must be losing my touch... ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) I've used that as the "leatherman reference in the Bible" for years and years now. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Another vote that we keep the bear.
I was thinking of you this weekend, Chast. Did you know there was a big thing going on in Guerneville? Innocently walked right in on it.

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

The description of John the Baptist in Mark 1 seems to be alluding to this description of Elijah - perhaps picking up the idea from the prophet Malachi that 'Elijah' would return to usher in the New Age - and that John the Baptist was this 'Elijah'.
