File under: Islamic State

#1 If you are a Methodist...or a Presbyterian, or perhaps even a Seventh day Adventist you could be expected to convert to Islam or die. Who would say No? Practically everybody in Massachusetts and California for starters...surprise surprise would say yes.
I expect most of the members of Congress would kneel and bow. No? you don't know human nature very well, do you?

Everybody who works for a Newpaper? Butts in the air. In a heartbeat. Polish a moslem boot with the oil on your nose. But you won't own a nasty gun or say anything that isn't PC, will you? America is short on people who CAN fight. Finish your milkshake, Nancy. Am I lyin' to you?

Islam is the religion of Peace? Sounds PC to me. How about you?

#2 A little too much rote there, Hemingway. Same schtuff you've used in your other posts.

Go for a walk. I hear it's nice in Georgia this time of year. Read a book. Get some new ideas.

Have a milkshake, nancy.

#5 So saucy a scribbler was Austen,
Her milkshake caused global defrosting.
Throngs were drawn to her yard
To convey their regard,
Though to waltz with them all was exhausting.

#7 *giggle* But burghers doesn't scan, so that's that.... unless the line were changed to

burghers drew to her yard, etc.

Mansfield Park will suit our Hemingway best. In addition to the utterly inappropriate Mr. Crawford and Miss Crawford, siblings, there are the scandalously salacious doings of Lord Bertram and Mr. Bertram at the estate in Antigua, so accurately depicted in Mr. Bertram's sketchbook.
