Book Memery

This is one of those "tag, you're it" kinda memes, and I was tagged by .

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next two or three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you


Mine:

Page 123 on my book didn't have five full sentences on it, so I went to page 124.

And now, O Lord God and King, spare thy people: for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought; yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance, and hath been thine from the beginning. Despise not the portion, which thou has delivered out of Egypt for thine own self. Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inheritance: turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, O Lord, and praise thy name: and destroy not the mouths of them that praise thee, O Lord.

From the 1992 Barnes and Nobles edition of The Apocrypha.

Them as wants to be tagged, consider it done. Enjoy!

No Question

The Troll and I each got a Nintendo DS for Winter Holiday back in December, and one of the games we got with it is Brain Age 2. One of the more creative bits of BA2 is creating acrostics from words given. Since we each get the same words to work with, we occasionally (though not often) come up with something similar.

For the more recent one, one of the words was OAK. Without any discussion (or even knowledge, on his part, that I'd recently done one), and with more than 24 hours in between our two answers, we both came up with the following:

Original
Arborial
King

Yeah, we're a match, alright.
