samson of the flaming foxs.

today in my lovely, insane(!) church class, we learned about a guy who had 71 brothers. and he killed all of them, but his littlest brother, who cursed him...then we learned about Samson. anyone who hasn't heard the story really should hear it from Mr. mike. his facile expressions are priceless.....
anyway, so this guy is 'blessed by the Lord (why i don't know.)' and is really strong. he never shaves or cuts his hair(ewwww!) and kills a lion with his bare hands. one day he falls in love with a Philistine girl, and then after marring her tries to Con a bunch of ppl. she betrays him and he leaves her. she gets with his old bff, and when he comes back he gets really ticked. what he does next, the SPCA would have a Field day with.
now, it would at least make sense for the idiot to kill the guy. but no. he gets 300 Foxes, lights their tails on fire, and sets them loose in the grain and crop Fields.
his father in law and old wife are killed for it after he flees. he kills about a 1000 men ( or just one, and gets caught. but he escapes
now, once again, he falls in love, and this one gets bribed into finding out why he's so strong. he tells her a lie, and ends up killing a ton of ppl. this happens three times.( around now, tonydee says, half asleep, 'let him go on his killing spree. he's not hurting anything...')
finally after playing the l word 'i thought you loved me....' he tells her his secret. he gets caught, and his hair gets cut away, leaving him weak.
they put his eyes out, and after a while decide to torment him...his hair grows back, and he brings down a house packed with ppl. killing them and him...
now that was interseting!!
anyway more later
