I Wouldn't Qualify



As a matter of fact, I don't think I could queue up in any such line.  I mean... don't you have to subscribe, or sumthin'?  The best I can look forward to is comin' back as a goat.

From the Shoebox Blog, where I seem to getting a lot of my stuff of late.

  1. I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't qualify either.

    heh, WV: jodamniz (you damned is)

  2. Having lived more than 50 years, I can guarantee that I wouldn't qualify!

  3. Ah... we're all in the same boat, then. Well, except for the fact I get to do it over. Excelling as a goat otta be a little bit easier, I think.

  4. The jury's still out here... hope springs eternal.

    Shoebox is a great source when you're in a hurry.

  6. Goat would be good. Pigs have 30-minute orgasms, though. Of course, if you come back as a pig, in order to have those 30-minute orgasms you have to make love to another pig. Everything has its ups and downs.

  7. Jim: In re: pigs... Not to mention the fact you'd run a SERIOUS risk of becoming pork chops. But like Mick sang: "Everybody's gotta go..."

  8. I'd like to think the whole "Give it up unless you profess undying faith in our denomination" thing is a man-made construct conjured up by charlatans...which seems likely, I think. So I'd like to think the one big litmus test is you tell St. Peter you're down with the whole do-right-by-others thing. So the whole agnostic deal, under such a circumstance, gets a pass under the "Okay now that I'm here, I see how it all works" doctrine...pending the endorsement of someone who already made it in, which I'll happily provide in your case. And I'll see you up there.

    Not that I'm offering to spend every moment of an eternity with you or anything, mind you. You wouldn't appreciate that any better than I would. But for the occasional Friday night get-together with fancy beers, cigars and single-malts, it would be nice to have the distance problem eliminated once and for all. And, we could figure out some solutions to all the world's problems finally...up there...after it's too late. :-)

  9. Ah, cool. I have a friend in court! I'm down with that, as long as you can assure me there are beer, cigars, and loose women in heaven. Otherwise? I'll take the goat option.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
