The Superfluous Selam Thread

[AntoniousNikolas]

Sort of like Random Thoughts, but everything must close with a "Selam", no matter how incongruous that "Selam" might be.  For example:

Quoting yourself in your sig line is really lame.

This is even better than the W.A.G. thread.

I wonder what it would be like to punch a panda bear.

Can a post be spam
if it ends with "selam"?...

 

[AntoniousNikolas]

Sure, Dominika, as long as it ends in "Selam".

Where's the "Selam", LBK?

[AntoniousNikolas]

I wonder what selam means?

selam

Selam means "peace".  So like, for example, if I wanted to affect an exotic identity but couldn't actually speak the language of the culture I was appropriating, instead of simply saying "Peace" I might say "Selam".

It is also a sanctification of text, like so much spiritual salt with which St Paul exhorts us to season our grace-filled speech (cf. Col. 4.6).  As the prophet Elisha purified the waters with salt (cf. II Kings 2.21), our posts are purified of their vile filth when we end them with this benediction.

Paul Sorvino has a surprisingly beautiful singing voice, but he's really let him self get monstrously fat to the point that I'm worried about his health.

One time I saw this guy riding a giraffe and he had a button on his foot. I pressed the button and his head opened up and a million tiny helicopters came flying out. Later on he told me he liked ginger beer.

Gebre is a good guy

Selam

Gebre is a true witness to Christ and one of the few that convinced me Christ is the truth. I wouldn't have taken the Orthodox Church seriously without his witness.

On a serious note, as of last night, he was in the hospital for some health issues. Please keep him in your prayers.

Seriously?  God be with him and save him through the prayers of the saints.  I lovingly tease Gebre and poke fun at his public persona and foibles, but he knows I love him as a brother.

Hey Tony why cant I send you a PM?

Hey Tony why cant I send you a PM?

Selam

I don't really do PMs, especially long PMs, so my settings reflect that, but in your case, I'll make an exception just this once.  Try it now.

Selam

Yes. I'll let him share whatever he chooses when he is able, but he is going through some trials that are far greater than I would be able to handle. Please keep him in your prayers.
