This should give less to worry about then the original ones.

I especially like nr. 2 and 3.

That was not comforting at all, seeing as I've commited more of the deadly sorts of sins. Put me down for Sloppiness and Phoniness, though.

Hmm. Guess I'll stop going to church and just get all of my theological information from the Weekly World News. That sounds like a great idea.

Hey, look! Batboy is the real Messiah!

Man, I really messed up. I planned to commit all seven deadlies between Christmas and New Year's, and I'm missing sloth, envy, and greed.

I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.

Oh, and Raia, they committed the sixth kinda deadly sin: not proofreading. That gets you darned to heck, and an old lady with her hair in a bun whacks your hand with a cubit-stick for eternity.

Oh, yeah, I remember picas. I still like to have things on a layout spaced one pica apart.

I thought the seven deadly sins were sex, sexual interactions, f***ing, h*mping, sleeping, making love and losing cherries.

Then, the seven good deeds are: drinking Becherovka (sp?), drinking Jameson, drinking Glenfiddich, drinking Tullamore Dew, drinking Finlandia, drinking Bushmills 21 y.o. whiskey and drinking (Bushmills's) Black Bush.

Jonathan! You behave! There are children present! And you are not being funny. You are being vulgar and offensive.

Would you talk that way to your Tante?
Your Shvester?
Or me?

Why put on a Pommy accent, though? It sucks. Put on a light Aussie one (like me), or a Galway one (I gave up on South African accents. - "Howard, don't spən the ball, bowl pace." - "Fine...! Why"? - "Better control; come on! Pace, not spən." So I bowl a leg-break. - "I told you, don't spən the ball! Just pace it along!" - "I wasn't spənning it! I was spinning it! Spin, spin, speeen!" - "Oh, just eat shit, Howard!").

You are going to get arrested for PUI -- posting under the influence. Get a grip, and get sober. [No No]

What has happened to you Jonathon? I once thought of you as mature and pleasant to exchange words with. But now...not so much. You'd better get your act together. And this even worse because its coming from someone in your age group. Even I'm not THAT immature.

You're overdoing it.

Serenity!

The funniest part of that line (to me) was the fact that I never would have remembered wrath as being one of the 7. So it took me completely off guard.

What's the other one?

Oh, yeah, Lust.

As full of it as this article is (I'm laughing for most of it), It has a truth.

quote:
RUDENESS -- Even if the person you're talking to is only a "lowly" waitress, be polite.
Now, I would never consider my waitress "lowly". Or waiter for that matter as well. They bring food. You should treat them right anyway. However, my main point is just on rudeness. People could be a little nicer.

The rest, well can ... yeah.

Its nice to know my boring, phony, rude, annoying, ignorant, sloppy, family is going to purgetory after all.

Who knew that God liked a tidy kitchen after all?

Tidy kitchens do not lead to the discovery of Penicillin, though.

I'm just sayin'.

The discovery of Penicillin would be Science though, and particularly Biology. Apparently God doesn't like either of those things.

According to some people, anyway. [Wink]
