While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

Nimrod is a great hunter in the bible. It became an insult because Bugs Bunny would call Elmer Fudd that sarcastically. So perhaps you are a nimrod, depending on the quarry

I already knew that cause I've read the dang Bible and love Looney Tunes. Also a quarry is where you get rocks from, a quary is what you hunt. So perhaps you are the nimrod

I'd like to blame it on autocorrect but it wouldn't be honest. I'm only now learning the two words are spelled differently. So I am indeed a nimrod, forever hunting a greater understanding

I would have told.you more nicely but that was just too perfect a set up to pass on
