Now tell me: wasn't this thread originally about a potential threat to ancient Egyptian art?

First the Library of Alexandria, and now this.

The word is Philippines. You didn't even misspell it consistently. You wouldn't be skimping on the spell-checker use, now would you?

E.B. White is turning over in his grave.

The newspaper column is the last place I'd turn to to legitimize my ideas.

Other than that, I'd say your riposte smacks of desperation.

And by the way, I've friends who are more well read, well bred, and better fed than I, but I still like to make fun of them because they have no idea how to attach a table top to an apron with out making the top split like a fly girl on "in living color".

I guess they didn't teach that in Harvard.

It's not so much the verbing that wierds words. It's the renounification.

Could be about new art... just any representative art. They need to mind their own damn business. If they don't like it, don't buy it or have it, it ain't complicated.

I think that was the point, though. He didn't say 'go blow up statues', he said 'you know, you arent s'posta keep these things in your houses'.

i be laffin mi ass off. thanks beestie. thanks so effin much. UG. please stop.

That was freaking brilliant wasn't it.

Surely.

Stop? If not never -- well, hardly ever.

That is NEVER the endgame to these little parties. If that was the case they would have just stated it and not spouted off another Fatwah.

I love that!

After puzzling over this peculiar remark for a while, I finally figured he thought "Filipino" might be misspelled.

Well, Clodfobble, don't hate me for being better acquainted with the dictionary than you. What do I find in my Webster's 3rd but entries not only for "filipino," but "filipina" for good measure.

I'll forgo a <snap> but you get the idea. :)

As much as I hate to say UG is right... Filipino is a word for a person from the Philippines.
