I had thought in the Bible days maybe turtles *did* sing.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.<BR/><BR/>But I still like that verse -- and imagine singing turtles along with the spring peeper frogs that herald spring in these parts.palisadeskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13700503881038569921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-68003285411520851922009-03-02T03:00:00.000-08:002009-03-02T03:00:00.000-08:00C might like this:9 most badass bible verses.C might like this:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.cracked.com/article_15699_9-most-badass-bible-verses.html" REL="nofollow">9 most badass bible verses</A>.Tracy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08999246551652981965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-55325336810815398542009-03-01T17:52:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:52:00.000-08:00The 'scolding woman' seems to be a hit theme, hmmm...<I>The 'scolding woman' seems to be a hit theme, hmmmmm.</I><BR/><BR/>You noticed that, did you?<BR/><BR/>The scolding women proverbs were the two C. chose to read out loud.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure if he'd been reading proverbs to his dad, he would have picked the one about vomit.Catherine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347093496361370174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-63397198033906959932009-03-01T17:40:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:40:00.000-08:00There also seems to be a vomit motif here.There also seems to be a vomit motif here.Barry Garelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281266848110087415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-24904029406584778312009-03-01T17:21:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:21:00.000-08:00The 'scolding woman' seems to be a hit theme, hmmm...The 'scolding woman' seems to be a hit theme, hmmmmm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-57963099051163269022009-03-01T17:02:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:02:00.000-08:00it meansthe rain it raineth on the justand also on...it means<BR/>the rain it raineth on the just<BR/>and also on the unjust fella.<BR/>but mostly on the just because<BR/>the unjust stole the just's umbrella.<BR/><BR/>or something like that.r. r. vlorbikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746118913980983815noreply@blogger.com
