If memory serves, it was Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of porridge. In today's world it may well be re-phrased as: USA Selling it's Birthright to Halliburton for a Bowl of Oil ================================== Porridge seems to play an important part in literature. Note how, many centuries later, a certain 'Goldielocks' did a break and enter to steal this stuff from three innocent bears, who had gone out to commune with nature. Then 'she' trashed their sleeping quarters... mike |

In today's world it may well be re-phrased as: USA Selling it's Birthright to Halliburton for a Bowl of Oil Where oh where do you come up with this ****? Good question. Let's see... a) bowl of soup didn't sound right. I remembered 'porridge' b) The previous poster noted that somtimes people can be bought too cheaply. c) The original biblical phrase came to mind. d) I typed in the phrase. e) I noticed Esau was potentially a very badly misspelled USA. f) Instantly, I had a vision of EVIL, in all it's swirling, sulphurous, Ashcroftian, demonic horror. I was mesmerized by the stench of unrefined oil. g) After that, the trembling slowly subsided. I wiped the fear induced perspiration from my brow, changed my soiled underwear and then, the rest of the composition fell naturally into place. h) I pressed the 'Send' button just before the jack booted Cheneyians kicked my door in. It's a good thing I have all those seventies vintage boat anchor receivers piled all over the place. The bumbling robos tipped one over and were subdued by the weight. I will wait for the elections in November to be over before releasing my unwilling and prostrate house guests. By that trime they will have forgotten why they're here. They claim they can take the discomfort, but all the cats in heat here keep vigorously backing into their mustachioed dogfaces. Being a poor country limits our ability to abuse the helpless. With a larger GNP, I'd be able to use MUCH larger mammals in heat. That should be a suffient outline, but I can't guarantee one hundred percent completeness. mike |

In a convoluted, winding, anfractuous, flexuous, meandering, meandrous, serpentine, sinuous, snaky way I feel you may be close to the truth. mike (using a THEOsauraus)© II ©Densa International Think Tanks Cleaned Cheap |

They get more vacation days then we do. Please, Bill, don't re-quote Telamon's one-line posts. They are just too analytically overwhelming.... Since I generally write in a straightforward fashion, it should not take much effort to understand what I write. You on the other hand have such a tortuous thought process necessitated by constant stream of lies and fabrications that a team of psychiatrists could not decipher your missives. However, I can understand that a person with your educational background and intelligence might have a bit of difficulty. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
