Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Lepus Rex Date: 17 Sep 00 - 01:41 PM Nonesome EJ, after reading your instructions on how to sell your soul, I tried that damned crossroads thing. Met the guy, shook his hand, etc. So I picked up a guitar, and, dammit, I still couldn't play! The devil then points out that I didn't ask to be able to play guitar, I just gave him my soul. I'm suing you. ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Mooh Date: 17 Sep 00 - 01:35 PM I wonder what the going price today is, what with inflation, a lousy dollar exchange, and a high crime rate. Ho hum. Mooh. |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: guinnesschik Date: 17 Sep 00 - 10:20 AM Sourdough: Pumpernickle is in Old German. Apparently, it smelled so bad while it was cooking, it got this name. I got this information from a trivia game, so I really don't know how accurate it is, but I thought it was pretty cool. Anything to do with flatulence... ;-) |

I have these two friends who came over for my birthday and are still hanging around.We share my room,which barely has room enough for my double bed.It means that two sleep there and the third on the floor.Never mind youth.After this two days i can swear they sold their FEET to the devil.And I love them dearly,but... |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Sourdough Date: 16 Sep 00 - 07:43 PM Now that I have your attention... Where did you get that intersting information about the translation of Pumpernickel? Do you know what language it is in? I had heard other, unsatisfying, derivations fo the word. On the other hand, it is gas that makes bread rise. Isn't that a pleasant thought? Sourdough (whose computer seems to have hiccupped.) |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Bill D Date: 15 Sep 00 - 09:36 PM since I don't seem to HAVE a soul, and I don't seem to be rich, famous,surrounded by women or heading toward immortality, I am wondering if I gave it away carelessly during the 60s...... |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Sep 00 - 04:36 PM Somehow that seems to tie in with "air biscuit." Spaw |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: guinnesschik Date: 15 Sep 00 - 04:33 PM Just an aside..."pumpernickle" means devil's fart. Um, don't think he'd want mine...my soul that is. |
|
Subject: RE: I wonder... From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Sep 00 - 04:31 PM Well hell Ratso, farting I can do, but I could really use the 37 cents! Spaw |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: mousethief Date: 15 Sep 00 - 03:32 PM Didn't Martin Luther say in his Tabletalks that when the Devil approached him, he farted at him? I seem to remember hearing that, although I've never read the Tabletalks.

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: wildlone Date: 15 Sep 00 - 03:22 PM There is a story that a Puritan preacher in Dorchester {Preacher White} was approached by the devil one night and he is supposed to have said "go away I cannot be bothered with you now" where upon the devil left. As an aside Preacher White and his counterpart Preacher Ince of Weymouth helped non conformist's to travel to America in the early 17th century. |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Morticia Date: 15 Sep 00 - 03:03 PM I suspect Dr Faustus was engendered by real stories of such bargains......medieval history is full of them.... |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: mousethief Date: 15 Sep 00 - 02:28 PM I wonder if the phrase "he sold his soul to the devil" didn't start out as a sort of longhand, metaphorical way of saying "he's really evil" and then, because the phrase existed, people got to thinking that people actually DID make such bargains. Just a thought.

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Grab Date: 15 Sep 00 - 02:21 PM It's all very well trying to sell your soul, but unless the Devil's going to sign his name on the contract, I doubt it's legally binding... Grab. |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: GUEST,cowpatty Date: 15 Sep 00 - 01:47 PM Legend has it that Robert Johnson did,don't know how true. But I have one thing to say on this subject and that is don't you think you need to consider God instead of worring about the devil. |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Marion Date: 14 Sep 00 - 11:26 PM In one of the Halloween episodes of the Simpsons there was a scene in a spooky library and you could see that the title of one of the books was "Selling Your Soul in a Buyer's Market". I found this to be highly comical. Marion |

Subject: RE: I wonder... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Sep 00 - 10:46 PM No,but if you want to...find a deserted crossroads on a full moon night.Nothing will happen until just before dawn,that time when the sun's not up,but there's red light in the sky.Look for a man,tall man in a long dark coat.Handsome man with one eye that has a cast in it.Tell him what you want and shake his hand...that what some folks say.You'll have what you want,but you'll have hellhounds on your trail.And when you die,you might die crawling on your hands and knees,baying at the moon.That's what some folks say. |
