Thy Geekdom Come Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 -You compliment your wife in the morning by referring to her flock-of-goat hairstyle or her ivory tower nose. -You consistently refer to nuns as "gates sealed." -You think a sachet of myrrh hanging around your neck is a good way to attract men. -You buy a green sofa so your couch can be verdant. -You wake up from dreams reciting the words, "alas, someday my prince will come." -Your little sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet and you rub her nose in it by telling her not to stir up love before its own time. -You think fox hunting might be a good way to get a man's attention. -You mistakenly think that Solomon must have been a very faithful man because he's so highly spoken of (nevermind the fact that he had one new wife every month for 58 years or so). -When you wake up next to your newlywed wife, you greet her with the words, "good morning, my sister, my bride!" -You actually got any of these.

Noel's angel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 lol. I once told my friend that he was leaping like a gazelle that bounds over the hills. Needless to say, I got some strange looks... Oh, I also told my priest that his cheecks were like the halves of a pomegranate. Song of Songs is cool, especially when it describes teeth as ' flock of shorn ewes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or possibly a trip But certainly not a flock I'm sure you've heard the old pick up line "Your laugh is as lilting as a covey of Ptarmigans" Its become cliche But I digress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrockthefirst Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have a confession to make: I refer to my wife as the "wife of my youth." Really. And our wedding included a reading from Song of Songs. Maybe it's contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] When I was a little kid, I was a very serious child and told my parents that there wasn't enough time to laugh...we needed to be busy doing important work for God. Then I challenged them to find a passage in Scripture where Jesus was laughing. Good intention, but wasn't I just the little Calvinist... St. Philip Neri got it right. We need joy.
