Bad knees?

Hey 650 Mile - "After a couple of bends there's no more gas left..."

You got "Special" knees!

Sorry...

On a piss-related subject, if you have an old, uneditted King James Bible, II Kings 18:26-27 may prove enlightening.

No King James, SWMBO's Catholic.

"Hail to the King, Baby!"

"... hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?"

(A mind full of useless trivia and obscure Bible qoutes is a terrible thing to waste)
Thanks, Mike... I didn't know that. Not being familiar with the Catholic faith, might I inquire as to what it is that they use?
(trying to steer clear of a religious debate, but am now curious)

King James had the bible rewritten to his taste, sort of a "politically corrected" version, the "protestant" bible. I suppose you could google the history and differences.

if it werent for bad luck

all this talk about knees. at work today we were doing some painting in our back core room. i was standing on a 2 ft stepstool cutting in the ceiling. the doorbell rang and i turned to step down. when i did my foot slipped forward and i fell forward off the stool. i landed with all my weight on my right knee just below the kneecap and then caught the right just on top of the cap, popped both ankles and hit the floor. the downside we have a plain concrete floor back there. i rasberried up both knees through my dickies and my right is swollen up a bit. it still walks but is stiff as all get out. thankfully i was holding a paint brush in my right had and didn't try to catch myself. i would have been pissed if i did and screwed up that 15k fusion i had done on it last summer.

the moral
6ft 290 + knees + concrete = aaaaaauuuugggggghhhhhhh

"...on bended knees..."

Thanks, Mike. Had forgotten about the origins of some of the "Protest" churches. Yeah, King James had some stuff taken out and some stuff put in. That, and all the monk's handwritten copies before Guttenberg's Press makes one wonder about accuracy. The old joke about priests and typographical errors and such... "Priests were supposed to Celebrate, not Celibate".

Ouch, kf4anm... like dropping a bolt on the floor and finding it with your knee when you bend down to look for it.

No luck at all!

Hope you heal fast Daryl.

Not to mention all the various translations over the years, from Greek to Latin etc. etc. etc. The King James version is supposedly the most "literate". Who are the critics that review the various versions of the Bible? "Most accurate..." - San Francisco Chronicle. "The most literate translation yet." - Philadelphia Enquirer. "Gripping..." - New York Times. "A must read..." - Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Sometimes used to walk my dogs across the University of San Francisco campus late at night. You should have heard the drunken singing coming from the basement windows of the faculty quarters. Talk about "celebrate".
