Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Here goes-

I'm spending eternity in the 2nd level of Hell (with the option of a few weeks holiday in level 8). And I was aiming for level 6....

7 Deadly Sins;
Greed..... High
Gluttony..Medium
Wrath.....Medium (must try harder-build up that rage... bottle it all up...gggrrrrrr)
Sloth......Low
Envy.......Low
Lust........High (see, second level...here I come-no puns intended)
Pride.......Very low (see, got something to be proud of...doh!)

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

I'd sure hate to get stuck in limbo, makes my back hurt just thinking about it. Although, hokey pokey hell might be even worse.

Could you imagine that? Dying, getting to Heaven and when you ask God what it was all about He goes; "Well, you put your left leg in, your left leg out, in, out, shake it all about...." Heaven would empty in seconds.

Red face Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Hi Chris –

I was at a college that had a graffito on one of the cubicle doors in the gents that read "beware limbo dangers" ... I would often, well, sometimes, sit and contemplate the hidden meaning of such a blindingly obvious statement (whilst memorising phone numbers of certain young ladies ... )

It wasn't until the third year that I realised that the message, written on a door that didn't reach the ground, actually read "beware limbo dancers"

And me a typographer!

It must be your next Bodhisattva assignment.

Since I like to volunteer helping museums with their inventories, (the best stuff is always in the basement,) I suppose I could spend some of my purgatory time volunteering to do an inventory of the stuff in the basement. On the way, I'll stop by Chris's place on level 6, to catch a fish from the lake of fire to slap you with to wake you up.

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Low or very low on six categories, but way high on sloth. And I even bake my own bread ! (InLove...I haven't forgotten, truly)

Maybe it really means that I'm actually genetically descended from the giant two-toed sloths of yesteryear. It's a puzzle to me.

Chris...not to worry...remember that the vatican's plan is to eliminate limbo. Just don't travel to the Bahamas anytime soon. I feel ok about that, even though I'm not as supple as I was in my youth, but my first marriage honeymoon was in the BAHAMAS.

I just re-read the entire thread and you all are blindingly funny, especially after I've worked a ten hour day and had a Rolling Rock.

flow....

Even in the 9th Level of Hell I can't escape your fish slapping activities! You're nothing if not reliable

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Snoop...I'll bet it would be a seared and blackened, cajun spiced, holy mackerel. Very suitable at this time of year,

flow....

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

well... I am vegetarian...probably another reason why I'm in the 9th level; failing to have dominion over the animal kingdom

incidentally flow, what's the reason for your monicker?

Believe me, once you get a fish slapping of a blackened holy mackerel you'll know you have no dominion over animals...

As a vegetarian, are you opposed to fish slapping, should we ask for a tofu flogging instead? Or how about wheat germ whipping? Seiten slapping? Falafel flailing?

Hmm, it looks like I might have to bring at least 2 fish.

Tell me, do you now have a propensity for silent, still meditation? What will you do while you are frozen in ice?
