   If I’d been there, I would’ve tore you up in the Q&A. I had some real zingers that you wouldn’t have known what to do with. ‘Shape and shaping’–seriously, man?

   Glad it went well.

   Fun questions for art’s paper –

   “How does your topic differ significantly, if it does indeed differ at all, from the material in Dr. Green’s OTHT 2 course?

   “Is it true that you once edited a footnote in a chapter about BB Warfield in an obscure P&R commentary?”

   “Emmanuel tov writes about a wealth of dittography and haplography within the corpus of the psalms. Can you discuss the different rates of occurrence of these two phenomenon. Specifically between the versions of the differences in the psalm you are writing about found in the Samaritan Pentateuch, the various versions of the LXX, and the proto-masoretic texts. I also have a brief follow-up…”

   Follow-up – “Could you also discuss the relationship to 4Q434 and 11QPs(a)”

   Art could just spend the remaining 5 minutes of his time slot explaining what the Samaritan Pentateuch is and why it doesn’t contain psalms.

   How ’bout this one: Art, does your paper help us with the most important question of how much the Sox should be willing to pay to keep Bay? And if it doesn’t, how do you justify its relevance?

   Nathan,

   Yes that helped to complicate the question greatly.

   Art seems to forget that this blogger was there also during his pAper….actually for the whole Psalms section.

   @John: You were the biblioblogger to whom I was referring!

   Sent from my iPhone.

   Art:

   Gotcha. I surely thought you meant Joseph Kelly, given that he maintains a blog, and you spoke to him after your session, but not me (sniffle).

   All’s well.

   @Tanner: I would have simply told you that you were at SBL, not AAR, so keep your yapper shut.

   @Nick:

   Question 1: I shamelessly stole everything I could from Doug.

   Question 2: I not only edited it, but I completely dominated Kent Sparks’ entire career.

   Question 3: Tov cannot predicate, so I do not need to approach this question.

   Question 4: The Divines did not have to deal with the DSS, so neither do I.

   @Manlius: Ps 51 and The Prayer of Manasseh are both penitential prayers. Theo will need to be praying them if he does not resign Bay.

    Well done, Art. You so ably and effortlessly proved your paper’s relevance. Nice! (And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.)
