Got married four years ago today. Husband and I had some breakfast out and saw the Van Gogh exhibit at the National Art Gallery. It was very nice.  Though, I got scolded by one of the security guards because I got too enthusiastic with my gesturing and accidently bypassed the commoner-keep-away rope in front of one of the paintings.

I'm not even getting what you guys are talking about. ??? Total clueless here. I would say about 100%...  ::) [/pondering]

QuoteDelilah was approached by the lords of the Philistines, to discover the secret of Samson's strength, "and we will give thee, every one of us, eleven hundred pieces of silver." Three times she asked Samson for the secret of his strength, and all three times he gave her a false answer. The first time, he told her, "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man." Then he told her, "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man." The third time, he told her, "If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web...."[3] On the fourth occasion, he gave her the true reason: that he did not cut his hair in fulfillment of a vow to God;[4] and Delilah, when Samson was asleep on her knees, called up her man to shave off the seven locks from his head, then betrayed him to his enemies: "The Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house."

The Pudding knows his scripture, the bits of it they made movies about anyway, back when there wasn't so much choice of entertainment.  Sampson gets his strength back and pulls the temple down, or at least Victor Mature did.

I just watched the movie Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and it got me thinking: What the hell would I do if the world was about to end in a few weeks?
This is pretty crazy to think about, because I have no idea what I would want to do.

I would hitch up my RV and travel again. Either that or fly to Fiji and spend my last days scuba diving in the most georgeous waters I've ever seen.
If we ever travel thousands of light years to a planet inhabited by intelligent life, let's just make patterns in their crops and leave.

I'd start drinking more heavily and say all those things I've been afraid to say.

Or maybe just kick a duck up the arse.

Ending in a few weeks?  Well, I definitely wouldn't wait for my retirement paperwork to go thru before I stopped showing up for work.  After that I'd probably drag a box full of books out to the beach, and sit out there reading and eating sandwiches and drinking tea (have no idea who would make them for me, I'm assuming everyone else has stopped working too) until next to the last minute when I'd go for a swim in the ocean and just not stop.
