    And they come from Stan, the Prince of Insufficient Light.

    (snicker)

    While we're at it, the characters above the nubmer keys on your keyboard are also wrong.

    For that reason, I will never type @*##&!!! again.

    :eek: :D

    When I was a kid, my parents took in a refugee family from Laos. As they were learning English, we found it nearly impossible to keep the kids from picking up new “undesirable language.” The big issue was that there is no such thing as a swear word in their culture. The worst thing you could do in their language is say “Bock jow,” which, loosely translated, means “Against you!” or possibly call someone a water buffalo.

    Eventually we solved the problem by giving them an exhaustive list of offensive words and explaining what each one meant. :( Do’h! To this day my Lao “brothers” still shake their heads and laugh over this issue.

    Oh the silly things we argue about. What a total waste of valuable God given time. It would be better spent :sleep:.

    I think you have a point there. Here's a new idea for debate by all of you theological experts. Lets debate Calvinism the the King James version of the Bible.

    :eek: That's what I've been doing! If that puts me in the same category as these "experts", I think I shall stop. (I need to go mow the yard anyway. Much more productive :tongue3:)

    Hey folks, this is a debate forum. Think we ought not to debate it? Don't.

    I doubt if any of us will neglect our prayer life, Bible study, or family obligations because we've spent time on this subject. And I guarantee you I won't skip my nap. zzzzzzz

    I for one have found this to be a good discussion. And some of you are having way too much fun.

    Are you saying he wasn't wearing underwear?

    (Hint: This is an old Sunday school joke.)

    Bob, some folks have their shoes tied too tight to understand, let alone put up with any humor. They only understand frowns.

    Actually, Jesus wants you to mow my yard. That's WAY more productive.

    (Just noticed you didn't mow it yesterday...heavens to betsy!)

    Speaking of such...is "Heavens to Betsy" OK?

    I tried "Hades to Hortense" and it just didn't sound right....

    Maybe "Purgatory to Pollyanna"? (nope. too Catholic.)
    "Sheol to Sam"?
    "Paradise to Patrick"?
    "Heck to Hal"?
    "Beulahland to Bob"?

    :D :D

    I say quite a few, but my fav is to say "carp" when I stub my toe or something.

    I have a dear friend who says, "Oh curses".

    Pickle Lips! They have to be dill and crunchy. No soggy pickles please.

    I've been know to take the name of a false god in vain...is there anything wrong with shouting "Buddha", "Molech" or "Baal" when you stub a toe? ;)
