What do other posters look like?

I believe the very original prayer went just like that. The pre-game hype quickens the lines and some words get changed.

 
This thread will now caused me to look at peoples postings differently!

The levity is much appreciated right now with all the angst people are feeling regarding the election!

I truly hope the board relationships that have been developed here at HB, are not affected by what is going on in the threads currently.

LOL, that is about as far away from me as humanly possible.

Not a skinny runt, not a youngster, don't wear glasses, wouldn't be caught dead wearing such pants nor would I wear pants up to my belly button, to much hair, no I am not bald but I wear my hair high and tight showing some grey now, and those shoes, LOL, I think I will stick with boots, NO, not cowboy boots.

No really, that me to a "T" Ha!

Dear lord
The battles we go through life
This line drives me crazy 'cause WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The battles. We go through. LIFE!

The battles we go. Through life!

The battles we. Go through Life??

What?
I think it's: the battles we go through in life, as in "during the battles that we endure during our lifetime, we ask that you give us a fair chance at succeeding"
Then put the damn "in" there. But then we have:

Dear lord

The battles we go through in life

We ask for a chance that's fair

It should be "In the battles we go through in life"

I know it's supposed to be chanty but it bothers me, damn it. It's not that hard to say that line fast with proper grammar *shakefist*
The whole thing has been tweaked and changed through the years. It's only barely close to what it originally was.
