HelpRe: Lazarus
in reply to a message by Distant_Stars
Lazarus? Your kidding, right? Wait, don't answer that! (OK, a bit harsh, but I'm being brutally honet.) I perfer Elijah, but Thaddeus is OK, especially compared to Lazarus.

"...especially compared to Lazarus."
First I snorted a bit to stifle a laugh, because Lazarus brings to mind a particularly entertaining passage from the book Johnny Got His Gun.
Then I thought almost exactly what you just wrote. The mirth broke down into denial, then I got into bargaining. Anything but Lazarus, I thought. It's one of those names for me that makes the other options really look desirable.

It’s all the same. What the hell good to you
is your native land after you’re dead? Whose
native land is it after you’re dead?
