Everlasting

EVERLASTING, adj. Lasting forever. It is with no small diffidence that I venture to offer this brief and elementary definition, for I am not unaware of the existence of a bulky volume by a sometime Bishop of Worcester, entitled, A Partial Definition of the Word "Everlasting," as Used in the Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures. His book was once esteemed of great authority in the Anglican Church, and is still, I understand, studied with pleasure to the mind and profit of the soul.

2008 Update:  Monday, usually by 9AM.

For e'er and e'er, K.

You ain't lying, Poobah.

Jenn, I'm starting to understand Cassie's challenge.

Quilly, that's the same unit of time for which Gabriel blows his trumpet for each new believer.

Jim, that's why I shop overseas.

Every eternity does, Icy.

Logo, but you just woke up!

G, it's funny how mortgage payments last so long and paychecks fade so quickly.

What, Mireille? No time for infinity?

mireille said...

Yeah, I've missed you too. xoxo

Yes, Doug, your definition update stands undefeated. Everlasting (Gobstoppers) - A hard candy which was created by Willy Wonka in his Chocolate Factory. You can suck and suck and suck and suck and they never get smaller.

Everlasting - the act of putting on the shorts and boxing gloves, and entering the ring to get danced around by a butterfly and stung like a bee.

Everlasting: the Energizer bunny, but not the batteries.

Doug The Una said...

Zockso, Mireille.

Terry, that Willy Wonka was some kind of candy man.

a4g, the inane analysis we'll be subject to between now and November boggles the mind and sunders the heart.

Nice, Sauerkraut, Muhammad Ali and Everlast.

JD, I've noticed that about the batteries. Must be a solar bunny.

Look outside, Actonbell! Look at the begonias! It's still Monday!

Those voices in my head.

Doug The Una said...

Yes, Ariel, here in Macondo.

Terry, and does it?

Hobbes, I know, Iknow.

Cooper, no quiet times any more?
