Karate was ridiculous today; far too much running around for a Sunday morningafternoon. After two consecutive nights of partying, I just couldn't take it, and had to sit out for half an hour to catch my breath again and wait for the room to stop moving. Pah! It's way too much work for a form of self-defence, anyway. I think I'll learn to summon bears instead.

At the moment I am attempting to descript the historical context of archaeological sites in the Zagros mountain foothills.
I would rather learn how to summon bears, I think. We could have different incanctations to summon different kinds of bears: large vicious grizzly ones for terrorising people who deserve it, and small cute cuddly ones for hugging.

Are the Zagros mountains the ones in Iran? IIRC, they've got such a high iron content in them that you can't use a compass there.   8^P

Yay an assortment of bears! Perhaps the cuddly bear version of the incantation would involve marmalade?

[stormsearch.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure; they haven't told us that yet. Mind you, the amount of rubbish archaeologists have written about the area, it does something, certainly! And yes, they extend through Turkey, Iran and Iraq.


And a dufflecoat.

> And a dufflecoat.

Ah, I've got one of those.   8^)

[stormsearch.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you have.

I believe I complimented you on it. Or at least, I remember observing that it looked nice and warm and cuddly at one point.

Although, you are not furry and you don't have small furry pert ears.

Do you have a penchant for marmalade sandwiches?

[spudtater.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda furry. But no, my ears are not.

I find most marmalade too sweet. I had a big thing for Rose's lime marmalade at one point, though.

I pointed out earlier that `the Zagros Fringes' sounds like it should be said in a Tom Baker voice.

"If we do not prevent the Zagros Fringes... the very fabric of the Universe... may be swept away."

I'm very glad I skipped out of karate in order to recover from the ceilidh and attend church then.

"The judgment was given "in the name of the Lord," which means that it was performed by God’s authority."

Oh, that makes it all right then.

And points five and six are the same.

[spudtater.livejournal.com]

That page was so obnoxious I just had to link to it. "obey those whom God has placed in positions of authority"... or you'll be mauled by bears. Now go to Sunday school.

Point four is rubbish, too. The best contemporary translation of the taunts is probably "hurry up, baldy!" Which, while annoying, is hardly a death threat.

My interpretation of the passage is: even the LORD gets fed up with neds occasionally.

[gominokouhai]

Ah, that does make it all right.
