I hear they go really well with a nice Hollandaise sauce.

This makes me think of the premise of Blood Meridian. Maybe McCarthy intended the scalps as an allusion to foreskins.

A collage would be in order, I think.

Hopeless romantic.

It started out pretty good, but ended with a "collateral damage to civilians is part and parcel of the new white man's burden of "democratizing" the Middle East and making the world safe for Bechtel and Halliburton" whimper.

David probably just exhumed Goliath and divied up his massive sheath into a hundred pieces.

One could make a really cool wallet that turns into a suitcase when you rub it.

But is that your favorite passage? Others have shared passages of great depth and meaning as their favorites. You share a passage about masturbation. Either you are twisted and shallow (which I doubt) or you find the masterbation stuff amusing (as I do) and are moved by other, more meaningful passages. You say the sperm reference are your favorite--only if you mean most amusing.

SoonerCoug was the one who referred to the Onan story. SU said the story of Job and a Psalm were his favorites.
