And HE cast them out from the GARDEN, the Man and the Woman...

[Richard Steele]

Condemning them to live by their WITS and the
sweat of their toils until the end of their days.

And HE placed at the corners of the Garden SERAPHIM,
and to the OVERSEER he gave a flaming Sword
which faced every direction.





And when the Man and Woman were gone from the Garden,
the LORD appeared, and SPAKE,
saying "ANGEL, where is thy flaming sword which I
have given unto thee?"

Casting his eyes about, the GateKeeper replied,
"Lord, I tell you truly,
it was right here just a minute ago".

:evilgrin:

1. Frickin wimmen

They get you every time

"Condemning them to live by their WITS and the
sweat of their toils until the end of their days."

No wonder we had ulcers.

THIS IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say this because irony/sarcasm evades some morans here.

[Richard Steele]

2. LOTS of things evade lots of folks here, Mike.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone
miss the POINT of a thread as widely as you
missed the point of this one.

[qwertyMike]

3. Read my post

"This is a Joke: I said

[Richard Steele]

17. Yeah, it was a joke. I think we all knew that....

And yet, a bunch of your stuff got DELETED down below.

That's just kinda STRANGE, innit? :shrug:

[qwertyMike]

9. Oooh

I feel so intellectually inferior to you for missing the point of your post by such a WIDE margin.

Should I shoot myself now, or just keep trying to get that GED thing?

[Richard Steele]

11. Neither. You should just recognize that I'm a sad geek whose "references"...

...have relevence to a very TINY percentage of DUers.

On the off-chance that you are actually working to get a GED,
please don't let the fact that I'm an esoteric jerk
steer you off course.

You -GET- that GED, you hear me?

5. Hehe!

25. And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?
26. And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.
27. And the Lord did not ask him again.

[Rhythm]

6. Buggre Alle this for a Larke...

:hide:

[Richard Steele]

7. I think that's what I want carved on my tombstone, now that...

..."pining for the Fjords" has been taken.

Either that, or something about
"settling down for a nice long LURK".

[Withywindle]

27. I amme sick to mye Hart of typefettinge.

Master Biltonn if no Gentelmann, and Master Scagges no more than a tighte fisted Southwarke Knobbefticke.



(I used to be a typesetter. That passage always cheered me up.)

[FloridaJudy]

8. Yeah.

My last visit to the Olive Garden ended badly too.

[Richard Steele]

10. OOH, that's BRILLIANT! Remind me to HATE you sometime!

I can't believe that it never occurred to me
to tie this into the 'Olive Garden' thing!

So funny, so OBVIOUS, and it spent years
RIGHT THERE UNDER MY DAMN NOSE!:banghead:

D'OH!

[Duer 157099]

14. Wait, is this about that other thread where someone saw a guy with a sword?

If not, well that was my first thought anyhow.

[Richard Steele]

15. Nope. I never saw that thread.

I owned a sword once.
20 years later, I'm stll msd at myself for selling it.

[TK421]

16. Did the Gatekeeper ask for the Keymaster?

[Richard Steele]

18. Wrong fictional universe. The "GhostBusters" plane is ten million doors over, to your RIGHT.

That really was a GOOD movie, though, wasn't it?


"Back off, pal: I'm a scientist" :rofl:

[TK421]

19. "Are you, Alice currently menstruating now"?

"What does THAT have to do with anything"?

"Back off man, I'm a scientist"

[Richard Steele]

21. And Bill Murray delivered that silly line so totally "straight faced"....

That's what made it such a truly great moment
in cinematic history.

[TK421]

22. That's Bill Murray for you

You know about the Ghostbusters sequel, don't you?

Everything old is new again

[Richard Steele]

25. Did you see that HAMLET flick he made a few years ago?

That was just mindblowingly GREAT.

[TK421]

26. I did not...is this on DVD or on Youtube maybe?

haven't seen him in theatre...would be interesting

[Richard Steele]

28. I'll have to go look it up and get back to you.It was AWESOME.

The thing was, it was all MODERN.

"Denmark" was a huge corporation
in a big office tower in the film,
and it was all played out in that building,
but they used the ORIGINAL SHAKESPEREAN SCRIPT, word-for-word.

Murray played what's-his-name's DAD;
the "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" guy.

[jobycom]

31. Dammit.

I thought I dreamed that.

[Richard Steele]

38. Yup That's EXACTLY how I felt after I saw it.

My sweetie had to reassure me that we had actually watched it together,
and it wasn't just something I had dreamed.

[Richard Steele]

37. Here's a link:

http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/hamlet

Apparently, it didn't get good reviews...
but I thought it was just AMAZING.

Amazing that anyone would ever CONCIEVE of such a production,
let alone spend millions of dollars to -DO- it.

I really enjoyed it. And that's all i have to say about that.

[RandomThoughts]

20. Oddest scene in Ghost Busters.

Guy with beard steps in scene behind a reporter. It is a bit weird.


My Favorite line,

"Nobody steps on a church in our town!"

[Richard Steele]

24. Did you know that Ron Jeremy's first screen role was in GhostBusters?

A year before he started POLLUTING the world of porn
with his hairy-backed presence, he was an "extra"
in the crowd scene outside the firehouse, right after
Peck turns off the laser containment grid.

[RandomThoughts]

30. I did not know that.

But I was not talking about Ron Jeremy. Many people got jobs as extras in movies.

I like this part also 4:30 into this clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF6q5bV8RV0

Related to the song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRoUpDON0_0

Which also matches the priors of Stargate, although I consider that flipped.

And of coarse Alabaster, is both white, and what some text say the throne of God is made of. But in the new testament, Alabaster is the jar of oil which a woman anointed the head of Jesus with.

But Sting's song is really more of a comment about the ring, either the ring of power from LOTR or the ring of Solomon used to control demons. But to really follow some of this stuff, you have to be aware of the beliefs of some fringe groups considered to be heretical. Some groups say all man are bad, and therefore all men are in some way controlled or are demons, and the ring should be used to control all people, and enslave everyone. This doctrine is also mentioned in Ghostbusters clip, alluded to by the worshipers of Goazer ideas.

To be more clear, a heretical belief systems says that the demons that Solomon controlled and that built his temple, were people, because all people are sinners and not good, leading to a philosophy that all people should be controlled. Different groups allow exclusions based on their own group, but most that have subscribed to the idea that most are evil and need to be controlled also conveniently say only people not in there group are the evil ones. Although some say all are evil so they just join in and use it as a rational to be mean.

This alludes to the Ring of Power to create Nazguls(partial anagram for angels, fallen type) to rule over and enslave them. Something that most religions, and Tolkien, disagree with. Tolkien showed this by showing how the combination of hobbits, elves, ents of old, and men of the west, could destroy the ring, and its attempts to enslave.

My belief is in love, free will, and freedom, Given by the grace of God through his Son. I do not believe in the heretical texts, but they are out there, and they can be seen to have a consistent message that many people follow.


Note: I believe Sting is one of the good guys. Just trying to make people aware of the spiritual world.

(Edit: As far as I know, The Catholic church does not put this symbology into the rings they ware. That is not one of the 'groups' that believe all people should be controlled. I believe there are many types of rings in the world.)

[Richard Steele]

33. Your thoughts aren't really all that RANDOM, are they?

Remind me to call you "friend" sometime,
won't you?

Sincerely,
Dick

[RandomThoughts]

35. Friends are good things :)

No need to remind you :)
You just did call me friend, friend :)

As far as Random, being random sorta has lots of levels to it,

leading eventually to the patterns in the randomness showing order in all things.

I think thats why I liked the name.

[Richard Steele]

36. BTW, my favorite line from that film is (OK, so sue me) one of the most LOWBROW lines:

"Yes, it's true: this man has no dick".

[Lionel Mandrake]

34. Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.

[UTUSN]

23. Normally, I would "Alert" & claim this belongs in the Lounge, but I just realized this IS the Lounge
