XD, I didn't mean to start a whole new conversation about double superlatives, it was mostly just a joke that I couldn't resist making. . . XD. They're not really taboo, Ryan, they're just gramatically incorrect. :-P
And now, to make my post worthwhile, I'll mention something that bugged me as a kid: OK, all my cousins are older than I am-- since my parents tied the knot when my mom was 29 and dad was 34, my aunts and uncles who got married around 20 got a quite a headstart on the family scene. Anyways, because of that, I never really was able to fit in well with the cousins when I was a kid. They didn't like playing with me. *Shocking*, I know. So anyways, any time they saw me coming, they'd all run away yelling "Yumie the monster, Yumie the monster!" (Except they used my real name, of course.) And I'd always cry and chase them, but I couldn't run as fast as they could, so I never got to play with them unless I told on them, and you can guess how far that got me when it came to their esteem. -_-
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
I cried to my mom and sister how I wanted one too, because it had the magical "regrowing hair".
