I'm driving in today through the fog. Day 2 of the rain.
Has my life become a Shakespearean play?
Enter Greg, soaked from the rain, peering through the fog.
Greg:
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drenched our steeples, drowned the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's molds, all germens spill at once
That make ingrateful man!
My mind flits to "Young Frankenstein" where Igor offers that it could be worse. It could be raining. And then it starts pouring on them. I looked for the YouTube of it, but alas, it's not there.
I hereby offer ways it could be worse, two serious, and the rest...not.
1. You all wouldn't be here for me and my family.
2. All God's promises aren't true.
Not:
3. The internet could go down and this blog would become a chain letter.
4. Businesses worldwide discover that advertising doesn't do really do anything.
5. ABC cancels Lost after this season.
Please add to my list. Just make sure you add one for each...at least.

It could be worse:
ReplyDeleteWe could never have been humbled by such a tiny, littly baby, TWICE. (Let's include, say, JESUS... with Zoe...)
NOT:
Starbucks would go out of business (gasp!) - TODAY
OK, people...I can't be the only participant...this is really good "thinking" material...
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse..
God could have never sent Jesus and left us to our own consequences. Period.
AND/OR
God could have decided not to give us a Bible for instruction and let us figure it all out ourselves.
ON A ROLL HERE....
God could have skipped the ark-building and just been finished with the world right then and there.
NOT:
OMG, they voted off Michael Johns on Idol? NOOOO!
OR
We could still be using Selectric typewriters and White-Out. (ouch, dating myself!)
I'm shocked Dan didn't jump on this one, but one obvious way it could be worse is if Barry H was president.
ReplyDeleteBarry H, who said this (and tell me if this sounds like something typically attributed to W):
Should we be successful in Mosul, should you continue, General, with the effective operations that you've been engaged in, assuming that in that narrow military effort we are successful, do we anticipate that there ever comes a time where Al Qaida in Iraq could not reconstitute itself?
Um. What? Ladies and Gentlemen, the next President of the United States!
We finally learn that those things in Raisin Bran are not really raisins.

They stop making Miller Lite.

I get a job where they require match AND science skills.
