A long time ago, Edie posted a Random Question that all had us thinking things. It was challenging--a knowledge-deepening experience.
This past week, she posted on the "Five Random Words" meme, which I'm not sure will bring the same kind of knowledge-deepening experience. I might be "going deep" to get these thoughts together, but otherwise....
Here's what she gave me to work with: Gather; Glean; Bleep; Worth and Wrestle. Ready...set...GO!
It would seem that I have spent some time in Proverbs recently.
For those interested, 'bleep' only has one definition--to censor, as in a telecast, by substituting a beep. To say that "...his horn went 'bleep' 'bleep' 'bleep'" would not be on target.
Perhaps, instead of that kernel of knowledge, I might have chosen to gather up corn so as to glean the kernels within the husks. Corn growin' "high as an elephant's eye" has the potential to hold a crop of great worth, though you might have to wrestle Curly for his surrey with the fringe on the top. [Bleep!]
Is it worth the pain to wrestle with your conscious only to gather the thorns of one's self, to glean nothing but a [bleep] of a headache?
To bleep or not to bleep? I do not find any worth in using expletives, and to cover them up with 'bleep' brings me angst. I chose not to wrestle with that issue, however, but to gather up my words and finish this exercise in randomness. What you glean from this is what comments are for. I glean that I continue to be uncomfortable with a bleep of any kind, except that which removes the need for 'bleep' altogether.
OK, I'm done!

"Glean this truth, friends: To wrestle with what you are worth in terms of earthly value is to gather to yourself a mound of [bleep]."

"It's the sheep's sound!" No, that's bleat.
"It's the sound you make when you are supposed to turn the page, on the book tapes." No, that's beep.
I think you covered it pretty well.
You are too funny. So do you want a do over with new words? :D
This was cool.
(And I LOVE OKLAHOMA)
I also think you'd be a "bleep" to play in Scrabble.
LOL!
Talk about your oxymorons!
(OX-Y-M-O-R-O-N. Oxyoooooooooooooron!
YEAH! for all you Oklahoma fans....)
Hope you are doing well! I haven't been able to follow everyone as much as I would like now that I'm back to work.
Love and Hugs, Leslie
