    I never thought of myself as a traditionalist, but this makes me sad.

        It's a story from the Bible - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson's_riddle

        Abram Lyle, the inventor of the syrup, was a very religious person, and chose the slogan

        I was only joking

            I think it's a reminder of what an asshole Samson was, if nothing else. That poor lion hadn't done anything wrong.

              It (the Samson story and riddle) could also be further proof that the ancient world was visited by extraterrestrials. The Bible among other notable ancient texts document describe many encounters with what can only be interpreted as aliens from another world. Probably in the Pleiades.

                Samson doesn't get his hair cut, big fucking hero.

                I don't get my hair cut, apparently I look like a homeless person.

                Why, why, why, Delilah?

                    Genesis 1 reads like a description of terraforming.

                      You’re right, all that hair. Bet he even sported gawdy Harley-Davidson jewellery and tasteless tattoos. Must have been a textbook narcissist. They say he killed 30 men for their clothes. Imagine that! Probably had a mouth on him like a Joe Pesci gangster character.

                          That now brings us full circle.
                          Lions are cats, big ones. Samson allegedly killed one when it was a kitten. Only bad people kill kittens and puppies, not supposed mythical fucking heroes.
