This is a separate thread so nobody gets p.o.'d: "alot" is not a word "a lot" is two words (the sex part was just a pedagogical gimmick)
Somebody contact his synod on the phone and tell them! NO WAIT ... Don't do that ... They might combine words from these posts, and get ... Phone Sex
== Uh huh, right! Unk do you ever liven up your sermons that way to awaken your dozing congreants? As the zzzzz exudes from the assembly do you startle them with loudly saying "SEX?" Or does your precision in speech as "Notice I said a lot" not "alot" keep them all engrossed? I'll bet you do preach a spicy message. Or is this board only, and not your church, privy to a Mr. Hyde persona?
Gee....I though Unk was reminiscing about the days when Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski were having discussions about national security under the oak table in the Oval Office.
No, nothing so exciting as all that. I just got sick of seeing "alot" used, without irony, in posts by folks who supposedly possess "higher" degrees. While I'm at it, the inability to distinguish between "their" and "they're" is undistinguished, too. The sex part was simply a bit of poetic, uh, liscense, as some would say. And, yes, Bill, I did yell "sex" in a sermon once, but half the men fainted, rather like the time I hollered "casserole" and the women began pelting each other with hymnals.
Poetic license Hopefully, you will allow me to allot a little bandwidth, or maybe you'll think it's a lot of malarky. I think you meant poetic license. Steven King
Yes, you are right. He did not consider it to be sex. But whatever he considered it to be, there sure seemed to be ALOT of it. Ooops! I said ALOT! So sorry!!
Steven: Before posting here I would have meant poetic license. Having seen "liscense" so often, I got to wondering if it was better, and thought I would try poetic liscence once to see if it worked.
The comedian Jackie Mason once asked: If most people like sex and most people like soup, then why is there not more soup in movies? I wonder if I would have opened unc's post if it proclaimed something about great soup? John
A peanut butter sandwich is betther than sex! Because nothing is better than sex! And a peanut butter sandwich is better than nothing. So, a peanut butter sandwich is better than sex! And coffee and cookies will be served after service in the basment (or in our case, since we do not have a basement either in the Fellowship hall).
