"DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN AT THE FRONT MY HOUSE THAT SAID 'DEAD NIGGER STORAGE'?"

The title of this post is what Jimmy asked Jules in the movie Pulp Fiction. When Jules answers (correctly) that he did not notice such a sign, Jimmy informs him with force that storing deceased black gentlemen is not one of the things he normally does. It could affect his marriage. Why, it might throw a spanner into the domestic works, and his good wife would likely have issues with concept of warehousing expired men of colour.

This pursuant some mighty fine gourmet coffee.


To refresh your memory, here's that scene again.


THIS AIN'T STARBUCKS SWILL

Now, having watched that little vignette, you will have heard several words and phrases which by their unprintability may have disturbed your equi-
librium. Much of the dialogue in the movie involves the F bomb.
Which should not be used quite so liberally, if at all.
There are more F bombs than bullets.
Life is not like that; there should NEVER be more F bombs than bullets.
It just ain't right.


To scrub your mind and clear the air, here's an edifying passage from scripture:
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

The following scene is totally clean.
Edifying, even.


WHAT DORK LOOKS LIKE

Cleanliness is next to godliness.


The moral is not to use the F bomb with all the liberality of a hippie chick spreading nookie, Mary J, and patchouli oil. If you do, bad things will happen. Very bad things. Embarrassing things.
There are several other words it is wise to avoid.
Cold showers are the pits.



Boiler's out.


I am clean, and full of coffee.




AFTER THOUGHT

Because I know you want to see Samuel Jackson spreading the good word like a Sunday School Teacher doling out chastisement to the heathen wretches ("lost children") temporarily in his care, here's the scene where he (mis)quotes from Ezekiel 25:17.


PLEASE REMAIN SEATED

Only a fraction of that is actually from Ezekiel 25:17. The rest is a mish-mosh of Tananchic elements and themes.

Mr. Jackson's used that scripture to scare the poo out of a mark just before plugging the poor soul with lead. Later in the diner he correctly explained what the scripture meant in that venue. Great movie but some parts have to be skipped being devoid of good taste. I also liked his Kill Bill series.
