I just wanted to start the thread before spexxvet did. you know he's working on it right now, dontcha?

I'm gonna start calling LJ "Jimmylegs" after a character in a story that that guy who wrote Moby Dick wrote.

Herman Melville--that's the guy. Whale of a guy.

:headshake I would prefer not to.

Actually, I had no intention of that, Kreskin.

suuuure...cuz yer soooooooooooo matuuuuure!


from this post forward, the whole Witty Reparte Department is on notice. on notice, you hear? People are taking shit way too serious, and not finding themselves at all amusing. Full moon, my ass.

We need more liquor.

Are you being all Grammar/Literature nazi on my ass Mr. SteveDallas?
Coz if you are...

Anyhoo---it WAS Melville who wrote that. The Dick story, I mean. Plus the other one with Jimmylegs in it--Billy Budd I thunk it was called.

Hey, lj writes about cocks. He must be on the brink of greatness.

How are you supposed to pronounce 'Turandot'--?

if you do that, I'll start calling you .......Tim.

Would I do that? :angel: Huh?
(It's a quote from Bartleby the Scrivener, a Melville story.)

I've heard it both ways (with and without the final T pronounced). FWIW there is some evidence (including second-hand reports of how Puccini himself said it) that that last letter is silent. My guess is, knowing opera fans, you're likely to start an argument either way.

:smack:

Of course! I know Bartleby! He died in prison!

Re: the hope of starting an Opera Fight--I accept the ( french accent ) challange!

Anyway, you, like, sound like my daughter.

I think the movie shoul;d be about superheroes with enormous bladders who go around putting out forest fires and saving kittens from the bottoms of dried out wells.
