Indeed -- let us leave all these bugs behind us, be they sauteed, parboiled, barbequed, oven-baked, chicken-fried, or biblical, and return now to the original topic of why we cannot help Dale move.
I would help, but my apathy gland has swollen up again. It's real bad this time. Between that and the rectal polyps and the rapid onset Guillain-Barré that has me confined to the couch, I don't think I could so much as look at a cardboard box, let alone plop it onto a hand truck and cart it out to the car. I'd tell you about my Lyme disease, too, but that would probably unlease another spate of biblical bug posts, so I'll forgo sharing the details about that little gem.

Must investigate this . . .
From 1 Culinarious, Chapter 3

and to my ears. I had a roommate in Washington DC who sprayed our apartment for roaches and when I came home she was just shoveling them into the garbage disposal. Crunchity-crunchity-crunchity... I can hear it do this day. *shudder*
13 -And the Undisputed made ready to change his working-place, and looked upon the measure of his store; and seeing that his travail would wax great and vexing, did call upon the Chiffianites to succour him, and charged them unto his aid, that his labor might be made light thereby.
14 -But the Chiffianites, being froward, did veil their heads and scuffed their sandals upon the earth, and did excuse themselves with divers excuses; and they bade fortune favor the Undisputed in his time of toil; and averting their eyes, they went severally away, and made merry in their frowardness.

What? No smiting? You can't wax biblical without smiting, for a god without someone to smite is like . . is like . . . well, it's just not right. Wroths and frowardness are good, but you gotta have smiting. (And if you need some candidates, I could make you up a list.)

Give me strength. Have you even READ the Book of Jobs???? If you had, you'd know that the Undisputed wasn't a god. He was more like a mongo temple scribe, or something. Mongo scribes don't smite. They edit and delete.
Well, okay, that's sort of like smiting, isn't it.

And Mongo definitely needed someone to scribe for him, being the illiterate man-ape-gone-wrong that he was.
