tit for tat

I wonder if this has anything to do with giving a young lady a free tattoo. Reciprocity. Beholden. All this stuff is pretty ancient. It was passed on to us by our ancestors. So what. But it is a big deal, this instilling of fairness and justice. Actually, and eye for an eye is more ancient than turn the other cheek. But turning the other cheek is giving too. To be able to forgive is a gift. To be able to shut up and not sound preachy is a gift too. To change the subject is at times kind. To keep a secret is golden. To wear a gold chain given to you by a mobster is swank. To give hilary swank an open mouth kiss is pretty damn cool if she reciprocates by ramming her tongue down your throat. I saw you in that movie, I wish you didn't have to die. To change an ending wouldn't stop it from ending again...possibly in a more horrific way. I don't understand karma. Here's the deal, I'll end this endless cycle of pain and suffering, if you do this and that for me. Is this what you want? Yes. Unfortunately , I can't do that. Why's that? Because, I don't think I could ever make a stone so heavy that God couldn't lift it. Wanna get a tattoo? Yes. Well let's get out of here...I'll pay for it. Thanks, I've been wanting another one, but I've been a little low on cash lately. Don't worry about it...it's my gift to you. I owe you. Forget about it. But I don't want to get one on my ass.

Don’t think you can ever make a stone so heavy God couldn’t lift it? Hmmmm. I think you have been melted by the Christmas Spirit, Mazy. That’s what I think. You’re absolutely filled with gift-giving. Yup. That’s you.
I’ll do it.
By the way, I’d prefer a nose piercing. Really … something silver and tiny tucked into my left ‘strill. Ringo is really pounding on those drums! Oh YEAH!
“and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make…”
A stone so heavy God couldn’t lift it? I flashed back to the old Bill
Murray SNL routine where he plays the over the hill superhero greek god
hercules type, in the badly dubbed movie: “I’d prefer to move a smaller
boulder.”
That became a line we’d use in the house anytime someone would ask for
help with a chore, or ask someone to fetch them something.
So your God never asks for a smaller boulder from you?
Yes, but could YOU get any bolder? :)
Now, what was I gonna say…? Should I post this now, or wait until I remember? If I write all this mental chatter, I won’t remember at all. Isn’t it odd how all these thoughts enter the head in one one-hundreth the time it takes to type them? …And what TYPE are you? :) Are you the bolder type of person? Oh DO be quiet Martha, you’re making a mess here! A mess! Stop typing. Just post this thing
farland says hilary swank was in the nordic center several days ago but she didn’t get any good kisses but the iranian plastic surgeon was way more interesting anyway no kisses from him either but he promised to go to explore booksellers and pick up the book “on ugliness” by umberto eco (one of his favorite authors anyway).
I love where this went. Thank you all. What a gift.
it looks like that one guy is carrying hamburgers.
Make mine a turkey burger with swiss and extra mushrooms Jenni. And I won’t Tat-tle on anyone, even if they get a tat of “W” on their ass…imagine sitting on his face for the rest of your life! ROFLMAO
he might enjoy that
Thanks for a great Beatles evening, Maze! Love you!!! Smooches!
Yes! It DOES look like he’s carrying hamburgers!
ha they had them even back then. who knew.
in one hand was a Big Mac and the other was a Whopper. I’m glad you guys caught on. It was mankind’s first recorded market testing. Now if if can guess the name of the King…you get 10 additional points.
“Your burgers delivered in 30 minutes or less –or they’re free!”
“Hey look Herb, it’s true, they’re just coming up our front steps..”
Does this mean that King Nebuchadnezzar, the famous Babylonian dreamer, was the Original Burger King???? WOW!!!! an archaeological breakthrough of the largest proportions!
Mimi! You crack me up! :)
yes, according to legend, Nebuchadnezzar was well hung…and it was he who coined the phrase….it takes two hands to handle this whopper. He constructed the Hanging Gardens in Babylon. People at the time loved the peonies he grew. Except….they didn’t much care for all the ants.
Ants?
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future and today IS a GIFT.
That’s why they call it THE PRESENT …
and ANTZ from Dreamworks IS a gift indeed.
