What about the part:

Fooly fool catching a sick swan, Cezanne!
Fooly fool catching a sick swan, Cezanne!

What does it MEAN?????????

Right now, the Cellar is scorching my groove.

I am so tired of seeing rational people attempting to discuss something in an adult fashion and just getting shat on from a great height before leaving in disgust or dismay.

Another one bites the dust.

Settle down Dana bo bana. :) It'll be ok.

:yesnod:

casi, your smiley is making me feel a little bit nauseous...far out, can't remember how to spell the word. lol

There should be a wise, sage looking nodding head as well...(hmm, but that too would make you feel nauseous in the current circumstances).

Hmmm...maybe, but maybe not. You just never can tell. Sometimes it's the colour even.

Ali, please don't do that. Its seriously condescending. Dana has a quite righteous point there.

Thanks Pico, the support is much appreciated :)

That said, I didn't take offence at Ali's comment. I don't think it was intended as anything other than a light-hearted reassurance.

That's really good of you Dana. I only piped up because I agree with you. There's a trend in this community to shut up certain voice's by invalidating their message. I'm not saying that's what Alianthia was doing, but maybe without realizing it, she was enabling it.

Amen to that.

I'm weary of it all.

?

?

Exactly.

I guess I'll never know what it means. :(

exactly

a couple more exactly s and we'll all be in agreement

Assuming you really don't know:

Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.

Which according to the babel fish is:

Please lie down with me, this evening.

;)

I really knew. Besides the fact that I think everyone knows I did take French in HS and college. :)

I thought my version of the words was hilarious. But, I often find myself amazingly amusing. :lol:

To be precise: Amazingly, you often find yourself amusing! /thompson

As always, I thought my rendition had a certain poetic quality to it.

Or: to it, I attributed, poetically...a quality rendered.

Who be thompson?

Don't they make machine guns?

So this'd be what? Rapid-fire humor?







My turn to crack myself up. :D

Don't make me get the paperclip guy out again! :lol:

Grav-elfish translation:

"Would you like to speak with my coochie tonight?"

What's Scorching My Groove Today:
 

I had a big fat hamburger all mashed out and ready to cook, right there on the top shelf of the fridge, couldn't miss it.

What's scorching my groove:

Someone ate the last hamburger bun.

:mad2:

One of the thompsons (Thompson and Thomson) from Tintin

Never saw that before. Is that two different guys? They spell the name differently, too.

Oh, just looked it up. Two different guys, two different names.

The picture looks vaguely familiar though, so I must have seen it somewhere before.

Never read Tintin and you studied Frentch?

srsly?

NO-ONE IS ANSWERING THEIR PHONES!
Please.
Someone just give me a number I can call as a one-off.

I'd just like to talk for a few minutes.

Yours needily,
Fridae

Yeah, I don't know. My teachers must have wanted us to be at a level above, like, comics. :eyebrow:

Yeah, srsly. Why is that so weird? We had to converse and stuff.

That's like "Dude, you totally studied Spanish and you never watched Dora the Explorer? Srsly?"

;)

Just to be precise, it looks like you can attach images just fine.

TinTin is Belgian anyway.
But in Foot's defence it was often used as a way to encourage children in grammer, because they absorbed it naturally while following the action in the pictures.

No, it totally isn't.
Tintin was well hardcore with histosry and shit. innit?

You have until 22.00 (GMT)
About 30 mins.

If I do not have a number to call you on by then, you will not get a phone call.
You have been warned.

xxx

I'm all into Firefox now

Well, perhaps by high school and college, they didn't think we needed little pictures.

Remember, this is America...we don't learn languages until your college-bound curriculum forces you to.

And quit being all smarty-pants culture man, foot. Grrrrrrrrrrr. I know a couple things. Or two.

She wasn't fuckin' around. My phone didn't ring.

Somebody better get that girl some digits.

Cheeky. Shoulda gived me yours.
Watching clips on YouTube now and crying because no-one wanted to talk to me.

not BST?

is it 23:05 now? or 22:05? by the clock you are using. I'm all confused. It's 6 here so it's 11 there, I know that. But I see you still online!

I only just got in from school, can't blame me.

My mobile's fucked.

Hmm...it's cultural? I know Tin Tin. I would use comics in a language class. Infinite Monkey, did you learn French in college? Perhaps that's the reason why you weren't introduced to French comics. Come to think of it, I can't recall where I was introduced to Tin Tin.

Yes that righteous point has been posted all over the place and by the time I read that post of Dana's I was simply trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Geez Pico, this is the second time you've said exactly the same thing to one of my posts and the second time the person I was responding to said they knew I was joking.

I don't make comments like that to people who I believe wouldn't get what my meaning was.

WTF is it ok for others to crack jokes here there and everywhere, but when I do it someone has to be offended???

eta: sorry for the tail post, but I was sleeping while this discussion was going on.

Probably from some totally cool, and with it person.

Oh well. I must have dreamed two years of french in hs and two terms in college. I can't have done it, I don't know the cartoons.

Now are you oh so worldly ones done trying to point out my cultural ineptitude, or is Dudley Do-right on? I want to learn more about (aboot, I think?) Canadian culture.

Ali, I spoke up because I didn't want Dana's protest to be taken lightly.

Fair enough Pico. I haven't taken it lightly. I've also expressed my opinions and hope that Jill will not leave.

Ultimately it's her choice though. Most of us have had to deal with one or more posters giving us a hard time at some stage or another. I guess we all just have to live and learn and decide what's best for ourselves in the end.

No hard feelings. :)

Also, they didn't have Dora the Explora when I was in school. They barely even had written language back then, but they did have Tin Tin translated into Spanish.

Would you look at that? I buried the lead. ;)

(paraphrase of Albert Brooks' character in Broadcast News)

Surprise.

It's raining again today.

You live in Seattle and it's not June, yet.

It's #@$%%& HOT and humid out there today. After nearly six weeks of straight rain, the heat comes to scorch not only my groove but my ass, too.

Can't do nothin' out there. It's totally ridiculous.

That's why the cost of living is so reasonable here.

I thought about you yesterday Bri. We not only live fairly close, our views on the weather are almost identical.

I had a vacation day, and was running around town getting things done. As soon as I put the lid down on my car, Sheryl Crow is on the radio singing "I Want to Soak Up the Sun" and it was AWESOME. Cruise here, cruise there, wind in my hair, sun on my face, singing...

I pulled up to get a car wash (too hot to do by hand as I had jeans on) but I almost passed out and died trying to get the automatic bill thingy to take my last two dollars. They were nice crispy dollars too. Sweat pouring down my face (I'd already prepared and had the lid back up) and back. Just from a couple minutes.

So I finally got my dollars to work, cranked up the A/C, got my car washed, then left. I didn't put the lid back down because I needed it to dry.

Needless to say, the rest of my errands were run with the lid up.

You're right: from crazy freaking snow to crazy freaking rain to crazy freaking 85 temps with 5 billion percent humidity.

And I'm down an A/C in my bedroom, completely broken, and the kitchen one isn't sounding too healthy.

So I was glad to see your post and know I'm not the only one. ;)

Used to be that this type of weather was what I nearly died waiting for. I couldn't wait for it to get hot. Now all I want is for it to be nice enough so that I can keep the windows open in my house. Warm with refreshing breezes.

Huh.

Yeah, when I was in HS/College it didn't bother me at all. And we NEVER had any kind of A/C in our house back then.

Of course, after a long day in the fields there was always the city pool, or even the slip and slide in the backyard.

Or going to the movies for the air-conditioning. Yeah I remember. :D

what is this "air conditioning" you speak of?

pc term for farting

got a "thanks, but no thanks" email from the outfit that granted me an interview a couple weeks ago.

*sigh*


*sob*

Chin up Dude.
