My pal:
>Oh, so Bro Timothy Litteral is related to you eh? [more snickering] ;-)
>He really does have a terrible time coming across in Higher-Fire doesn't
>he. ;-) Funny tho. I never wouldda thought you two were related by
>anything other than the blood of Jesus! ;-)
Bro. Skip:
I'm not the one you just called ignorant. He isn't that much older than I
am. The three of us(Tim, Tyler, and Skip) look alike in the face at least
- lots of hair.
Me:
Yeah, but are you guys bald?
Bro. T:
>Bro "ya just gotta know I'm a teasing right now" Tyler
Bro. Skip:
;) Teasing huh? Just you waite, there is a hidden # kill -9 -1 in your
future buddy! Or better yet a in you startup list for your Win95
box. ;)
Me:
You know, before I got saved I had an EVIL intelllegence... I would sit
and think of things to do to GET people that made me mad or offended me. I
didn't wait until they did something, I sat and brooded with a 'cold,
rational mind.' Interested in some of the things I came up with Bro.
Tyler?
Imagine if you will going out to your car and finding four flat tires.
After the hassle and expense of replacing these tires which have been slit
along the sidewalls and FINALLY getting them on, you try to start your car
only to find that there is no response what-so-ever since the battery is
missing. Not only is it missing, but someone has taken the 'effort' to use
bolt cutters to remove the terminal ends AND cut the cables short enough
that you MUST buy whole new cables. Upon replacement of these, you FINALLY
get in to start the car and it grinds and grinds and grinds. You look at
the guage and find that it reads EMPTY. By this time, you have concluded
that someone has taken offense, maybe to something you have said in a joke
;-) and has set out to get you. Well, you run in your other car to the gas
station and return with a gallon of gas. As you pour this into the tank,
you hear a 'dribbling' sound and as you lean under the car, you see the gas
pours from a hole in the bottom of the gas tank. You then call a mechanic
who replaces the tank and you then put gas in the tank. FINALLY you sit in
your car and you know it has tires, battery and gas. You turn the key and
sure enough, the battery starts the engine turning and the gas which you
have poured into the carborator begins to be sucked into the intake
manifolds. You hold your breath as you are about to FINALLY get this
contraption started after much money and time spent. Just as the engine
starts you get a sickening feeling as you here a HORRIBLE grinding followed
by banging and then the engine siezes as a result of the handful of BBs
being dragged into the pistons from the fresh gas you have just put into
the carborator...
All this as I just 'happened' to have been there all this time to 'comfort'
you...
As the engine dies in agony, I look you in the eye and say:
Bro., ya just gotta know I'm a teasing right now...
