How many of you men are wearing makeup?

Actually, I too would like to apologize for the hijack.

I meant to say, by way of getting back on topic, that I’ve never worn makeup. Never have, hopefully never will.

And now back to the hijack:

Daniel, I assume that “Sol.” above is “Solomon’s song”. I confess I’m no Bible Scholar.

Oh, and next time, don’t just give the cite–quote the whole thing. Some of us aren’t going to have a Bible handy!

Daniel, to you I say:

“Thou hast the most unsavoury similes
and art indeed the most comparative,
rascalliest, sweet young prince…I prithee,
trouble me no more with vanity.
I would to God thou and I knew where a
commodity of good names were to be
bought.”
–Henry IV, Part 1, Act 1, scene ii

As for me:

“Company, villanous company, hath been the spoil of me.”
–Henry IV, Part 1, Act 3, scene iii

We really ought to start our own thread (Shakespeare debates the Bible?):

“It would be argument for a week, laughter for a month
and a good jest for ever.”
–Henry IV, Part 1, Act 2, scene ii

and stop hijacking this thread, though this has certainly been:

“A kind of excellent dumb discourse.”
–The Tempest, Act 3, scene iii

OK, start a thread here in IMHO. Quote wars, lite flames. Each contestant is limited to one source. You get the Bard*, I get the Bible, anyone else has to pick their own source. Oh, and to be fair, all posters will have to wear eyeliner, or lipstick… :smiley:

  • i expect you’ll win, but it will be fun, anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

I admit it.

I have, in the past, covered up particularly noticable facial blemishes with a spot of concealer.

Does this make me less of a man?

Tell you what, Daniel–I’ll let YOU fire the opening salvo: You start the thread.

And to keep this on topic, I agree to the eyeliner or lipstick requirement, but would like to suggest that in lieu of either, the poster can hold Alphagene’s purse:

I’m not at all sure I’d win. The Bible has some pretty powerful stuff, like Ezekiel 25:17:

“And I will strike down upon the with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison or destroy my brother. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

(Though I guess now that I’ve used that, you can’t!) :stuck_out_tongue:
