What sarameg said, Tom. Driving people crazy by showing up at the wrong time or place or not showing up at all is part of the deliveryperson's code.
Exactly. Please don't tie the nice and well deserved (new furniture) in with the annoying but probably unavoidable (delivery mixups). Pretty soon, you will have the new furniture, and the delivery people will be off annoying other people.
How about:

Ahrg. I can't stop yawning.
we studied the Bible as a work of literature, not as a sacred text, per se. We looked at it specifically as a collection of tales, and laws and examined it from a literary, sociological and historical POV.
Sounds like a few of my theology classes at Marquette! I had "The Prophets," in which we spent half of the class studying the history of what was going on in the kingdoms of Judah and Israel at the time of prophets such as Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Elijah, and then the other half of the class studying the actual writings. Very interesting class, and fun for a summer course. I also had a class on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament, which basically dealt with treating the OT as the source of allusions for the gospel writers. My class paper was Luke chapter 2, the Nativity story, which was fun because I was able to tap into all the Messiah language from Isaiah, et al.
This is really freakin' cool: State of the Union Visualizer, a java applet that lets you see which words were most often used in every state of the union by year and president. It's facinating to watch the changes from 1793 to 1847 to 1905. Also has links to Wikipedia describing the events around that year, too.
OK, I'm somewhat more calm as they're bringing up my furniture now. Should I tip them?
So, is "applause" a big word in all of GWB's because "wait for applause" is in the script, or... what? Because otherwise, I'm thinking I've been missing a whole lot of comedy by not watching. ("Applause! Applause, my minions!")
