I do know the entire song is about the Lord, by the way. It's just in second person for the first half, and switches to third person at that point in the second verse. Thus, the "pronoun shifting" remark. I think a lot of people get that the song is thanking the Lord in the beginning, but ...

I got 109! Not incredibly awesome, but I decided if I beat DL I'd have to post it. Thank goodness for Norbert (et tu, Gimminy?). There were many whose names I just couldn't come up with at the moment...but of course things as random as "Piers Polkiss" pop into my head as soon as time runs ...

I think you can tell a lot about someone by their age, geographical location, and religion. AGREED. As a geography major, I like to do this to people occasionally. I've read some people pretty darn well, and it kind of weirded them out. I felt like Sherlock Holmes. also: http://theboard.byu.edu/ind...

Welcome stargirl. I don't think I've ever met foreman, but I knew a girl who was in a class with him a few years back. She showed me a picture of him and then a week later foreman posted the same picture on the board. Hmm...who was that? I feel like I've heard this story, but it's been a long time ...

I enjoyed it. I will say I expected a few more answers, but that is because I am an answer-needing guy. However, that may have made it all the better in the end; just like life, perhaps you don't need as many answers as you want , and you kind of have to deal with the cards you're given. I also thin...

Oh, what the heck... I'll drop by. CK will probably need a ride anyway...

See, whereas I see that name and think "gim - gimmi - nee" and automatically start singing "Chim - chimi- nee, chim - chimi - nee, chim chim cha ree, a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be . . ." WIN!!! This and others have already been mentioned... http://theboard.byu.edu/index.ph...

Yeah...sorry about that. The trouble with that question is that I had to wait until all the people who were going to answer it had answered it, then sneak in right before it would have posted. This happened to coincide with one of my busier weeks (which are Legion; thanks, Gimpy), so I forgot this q...

I remember quite clearly making a pie crust when I was pregnant. I had it all rolled out and was moving it to the pie plate when, heaven forbid, the crust tore. Up until that point I had been having a wonderful and happy day. But when that pie crust tore, I burst into tears and buried myself in Yel...

I, too, learned door-opening from our collective mama- when she was randomly in teaching mode, at least. Seems to me it was mostly a going-into-church thing, but you never could tell! But the habit stuck; I, for one, am a car door-opener. But only when my date is getting in the car. Getting out of t...

I love, love, LOVE Sarah Mclachlan (e.g., even though she is married, I would consider becoming her second husband in a reverse polygamous relationship) and I can only announce that love on these anonymous(ish) forums, since my heterosexuality would otherwise become severely suspect. The word you'r...

But to CK, get over it. Any time you put something out for mass consumption, you're gonna encounter a myriad of opinions. Get used to it, take what suggestions you can for improvement, and move on. That is all. And to Marduk: you and everyone else can also deal with our reactions; our readers aren'...

You were there, LJ? I know I saw Foreman in the general vicinity of the line not too long before it started, but I couldn't tell if he was just innocently walking by or trying to infiltrate security. Creeper! I did indeed show up a mere half-hour before it started, but I got a seat inside...mostly ...

Blast. Does that mean my chances of becoming good at knitting are slim? [sigh]

I'm pretty good at both.

And I'm a DUDE.

I (and most other writers I have talked to) actually read the Board much, much less as writers than in former reader times.

Dynasty'd! p.s. Commander Keen, your dating application is definitely an adventure. Where did you get the picture of the gleaming polarized lobster? As the brilliant older brother who gave him the idea when he was looking for a suitable picture, I'll take this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h...

Oh, Cognoscente. How I've missed you. Also, I am reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And I laughed out loud when I recognized your writer bio in the second book. Sounds like you're shaping up to be the kind of hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is. Unimportant fact: despite gene...

So... terrifying, awesome, or both?

I guess you haven't been reading too much lately... check out http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=52554 for some of the best guitar solos of all time (HFAC Approved, even)!

Seriously. They're all amazing.
