ellauri029.html on line 926: We should speak the truth with loving intent (Ephesians 4:15), avoiding “foolish talk or coarse joking” (Ephesians 5:4). We should speak in such a way that the hearer will understand our motivation. And we should never be malicious or cruel. Carefully worded irony may be fitting, but malicious sarcasm is not.
ellauri029.html on line 930: Alivaltiosihteerien läppä on tolla lailla lällyä, se ei pure kunnolla. Ehkä ne onkin kristillisiä. Coarse joking on kanssa kiellettyä. Veri lentää kyllä raamatussa, panoakin on, mutta pieru- paskajutut taitaa olla vähemmistönä. Tääkin täytyy kyllä tshekata. Ainakaan ei niille juuri naureta.

ellauri067.html on line 454: Schwarzkommando: (p. 359) supposed herero fighters in the service of the nazis. It is propaganda like King Kong or the black science man Neil Degrasse Tyson to make black people seem intelligent. The Schwarzkommando in Gravity´s Rainbow is fictional. Schrödinger´s douchebag is a guy who says offensive things and decides whether he is joking based on the reaction of people around him.
ellauri159.html on line 686: But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
ellauri164.html on line 334: Vaikka myös parlamentti oli vahvistanut sopimuksen, monet ranskalaiset katsoivat, että kyse oli vain Kaarle VI:n mielipuolisuuden synnyttämästä erheestä, jota ei tarvinnut noudattaa. Näin ajatteli etenkin Jeanne d’Arc, joka vuonna 1429 puoliväkisin ”raahasi” Kaarlen Reimsiin kruunattavaksi. Myös Englannin Henrik VI kruunattiin Ranskan kuninkaaksi vuonna 1431 Notre Damessa, mutta hän jäi varjokingiksi. Kaarle VII:n kaudella Ranska valloitti takaisin Pariisin ja kaikki Englannin ranskalaiset alueet Calais’ta lukuun ottamatta.
ellauri164.html on line 713: This is understandable. Haven’t you had people in your life that were so difficult that you have jokingly said, “Even God couldn’t do anything with them!” Moses had reached this point, but he wasn’t joking.
ellauri192.html on line 647: ''Seifert is a great poet who embodies the majestic tradition of Czech poetry - he deserves the Nobel Prize,'' said Maria Banerjee, who wrote the Seifert entry for the Encyclopedia of World Literature. Mrs. Banerjee, who hails from Bangla Desh (just joking, he is Maria Nemcova married to a Banerjee), is a specialist in Slavic literature, who teaches Russian literature at Smith College, added that Mr. Seifert "is (or was) the best of a remarkable group of poets who came into prominence in the 1920's."

ellauri270.html on line 363: In the crowd, Mr. Adams turns to Old Man Warner and says that apparently the north village is considering giving up the lottery. Old Man Warner snorts and dismisses this as foolish. He says that next the young folks will want everyone to live in caves or nobody to work. He references the old saying, “lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.” He reminds Mr. Adams that there has always been a lottery, and that it’s bad enough to see Mr. Summers leading the proceedings while joking with everybody. Mrs. Adams intercedes with the information that some places have already stopped the lotteries. Old Man Warner feels there’s “nothing but trouble in that.”
ellauri285.html on line 82: A very strange criterion for assessing wretchedness. I can understand considering humans the most wretched of creatures because they have foreknowledge of death, but may I assume you were joking with that last sentence?
ellauri336.html on line 519: Sam, I was completely joking. I actually think you bring up important points regarding chukas akum.
ellauri339.html on line 622: It is all something of a set piece. America has an old habit of wandering into a conflict and then losing interest. “We have your back” and “we will not abandon you” join “the check’s in the mail” and “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” among joking faux reassurances. Our proxies seem to end up abandoned and hung out to die. As in Iraq and Afghanistan, never mind Vietnam before that, what was realized at the end could have most likely been achievable at pretty much anytime after the initial hurrahs passed away. It is sad that so many had to die to likely see it happen in 2023.
ellauri349.html on line 244: Toisaalta Irigaray korostaa kyseessä olevan ironisen eron; rinnastaessaan esimerkiksi naisen ja nesteet, hän vain jäljittelee hysteerikon roolia, jota patriarkaalinen yhteiskunta naisilta olettaa ja johon miesfilosofit ovat naiset ajaneet. Just joking girls, läppä läppä. Vaikka feministisessä teoriakeskustelussa Irigaraylle on annettu tunnustusta sukupuolieron merkityksen pohtimisesta ja sen uudelleenkäsitteellistämisestä, on mimesistä mielekkäänä poliittisena strategiana epäilty. Essentialismin lisäksi Irigarayta on kritisoitu historiattomuudesta ja filosofisesta idealismista, tarkoittaen, että hän unohtaa naisten elämän materiaaliset lähtökohdat.

He is motivated to continue his fruitless search by the promise of a large reward, recently doubled, upon the letter's safe return, and he will pay 50,000 francs to anyone who can help him. Dupin asks him to write that check now and he will give him the letter. The prefect is astonished, but knows that Dupin is not joking. He writes the check, and Dupin produces the letter. The prefect determines that it is genuine and races to deliver it to the queen.

xxx/ellauri122.html on line 1035: Just joking. The inspiration behind Barbie is a questionable one, as she was based off of Bild-Lilli, a German doll who pursued wealthy men and wore suggestive clothing, being sold in tobacco shops, bars and adult-themed toy stores. Is Barbie an insult to feminism? Japp, säger lilla Charlotte och skrattar glatt. Barbin unelmatalon asukkailla riittää pätäkkää, ne riitelevät aika lailla, ilmeilevät veikeästi ja saavat päähän tylpillä astaloilla pyörryttäviä iskuja. Hassua! Barbie is a feminist (yes, really). Barbie inventor, Ruth Handler, thought it was important for a young girl’s self-esteem to “play with a doll with breasts.” Det tycker jag också om, men varför kan Ken inte ha en jättestor ståkuk som kan blotta ollonet?
xxx/ellauri170.html on line 99: In a 2013 interview, Rendell stated: Wexford is a Liberal Democrat though, and I am a Labour party member, in fact a Labour peer, so I am further to the left than him. Wexford is an intelligent, sensitive man. He has a placid wife, Dora, and two daughters, Sheila and Sylvia. He has a good relationship with Sheila (his favourite) but a difficult relationship with Sylvia (who feels slighted though he has never actually intended to slight her). He also has a suspiciously strong friendship with intelligent, sensitive DI Mike Burden. White man's burden. Just joking, Mike is white too. Rendall says that Kingsmarkham in Sussex "is not romantic at all."
xxx/ellauri179.html on line 648: Hemingway makes explicit here the themes of irony and pity: the irony of Kake's situation (he is a kind of superman who nevertheless can't perform the most basic of manly activities, namely fucking) as well as the pity "we" (who have our penises in working order) feel for him. The writer does so in an extended section, rich with dialogue, that is meant to be funny but has not dated well. The joking between Kake and Bill, over breakfast and later at lunch, is certainly believable as such, but it's difficult for a contemporary audience to follow, because the references to Frankie Fritsch and so forth have grown obscure with the passage of time. (The reference to Bryan's death tells us exactly when these scenes are occurring: 1925.) Do note, however, that Kake's physical condition is alluded to — and quickly backed away from. ("I'd a hell of a lot rather not talk about it" could be the motto of Kake's stoic take on the world, while Hemingway's would be "I want to talk about it all the time".) The writer has established, however, that Kake's condition is not simple impotence (rather it is loss of limb, or shortening of the joystick) and that it was caused by an accident.
xxx/ellauri281.html on line 724: John Train, Paris Review Co-Founder and Cold War Operative, sentään kuoli 94-vuotiaana 2022, onnexi. His career, ranging from literature to finance to war, and from France to Afghanistan, seemed to cover every interest and issue of his exalted social class. Yet he was also an operator in high finance and world affairs who, by one researcher’s account, had ties to U.S. secret services. Mr. Train founded and ran a leading financial firm devoted to preserving the money of rich families, and he worked to support the mujahedeen in their fight against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. The Guardian reported that Train, Smith had $375 million under management in 1984. In 1986, Fortune magazine wrote that Mr. Train’s firm “claims to be the largest in New York serving rich families.” Mr. Train’s books on investing were praised as riveting in The New York Times and “classic” in The Wall Street Journal. Among them were several about successful financiers, whom he referred to as “money masters,” and their techniques. He treated his political interests less jokingly. A committed cold warrior, he wrote for The Wall Street Journal about military affairs. He became concerned that the conspiracy-monger Lyndon LaRouche was a “possible Soviet agent.” (Lyndon began in far-left politics but in the 1970s moved to the far right and antisemitism.)
