Aha. Yes.
So... use the foot bead in a curse to turn the ankle of someone who doesn't love us? Hmmmm... (I'm still in "oooh shiny!!!" overload here, not getting any "you have to make *this* out of us NOW" inspirations. Yet.)

Sort of like that "Irish" blessing:
May those that love us, love us
And those that don't, may God turn their ankles
So we may know them by their limping.

I always heard the longer version: May those that love us, love us And those that don't, may God turn their hearts And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles So we'll know them by their limping. so very Irish: charming, friendly people with Chronic Smartass Disorder |

May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us, may god turn their hearts. And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.
It's a toast, actually. *g* Traditional for NYE around here. Along with the one about "Here's to us and those like us. Damn few and they're all dead."
Oh, you mean the one I quoted? (THIS POST HAZ CHAZ POWERS) |

(THIS POST HAZ CHAZ POWERS) yes, which I didn't see because it was hiding. you know how your friends make fun of you saying that you're so weird you must practice in front of a mirror every day? I think it's hilarious that Chaz actually did for a while. .... so that's just my friends then? |
