Good gravy gentlemen, "noodles" are simply the Asian version of what we call "wieners." Except they're made out of wheat instead of meat and are much, much smaller in diameter. Noodle Expert

 | | Domdaniel: <Icosatriology> The 23 phenomenon is real, but there's nothing magical about it. The number just lies on the psychological borderline between 'small' numbers (encountered so often as to be meaningless) and 'large' ones (less frequently seen). So 23 is common enough to seem strange, and strange enough to seem spooky. That's before you get into apparent coincidences like I-ching hexagram 23 ('break apart') and International Telegraph Code (23 = 'break the line'). In many places in (post)modern culture the 23 references were inserted on purpose by icosatriophiliac pranksters. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Isococdhedonism:
I will be 23 next year, but not "really." In fact, I'll be "pranking," so I'll in fact actually go from 22-24 directly, after my year long "prank" is over. I hope that clears things up re 23 and its mysteries. |

| | Domdaniel: <achieve> I didn't mean that 1950s-style jazz was dead or that the recordings don't live on. Just that the form itself stopped being 'live' on the first day of the 1960s. And those who stop being live are often said to be dead. I quite like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, that sort of thing. But my actual listening horizons have contracted so much that I now listen to hardly anything except Scott Walker and John Cale. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Right! Cut those hidden New Testament puns this instant!! They violate interntional copyright statute, which could negatively impact the anticipated remunerary bonanza that FROGSPAWN will subsequently garner for its creators and sole king <you> in perpetuity, all rights reserved. Dam now I've forgotten my point...
Hang on..
Oh yah GOOD LUCK in your tournament, <Dom> it's the most exciting sporting event on my calendar. Can't wait for all the action and then reports on the action. Remember! If you discover an important novelty, don't publish it in FROGSPAWN-- since it is accessible by GOOGLE and that <Kurtz> fellow might steal said novelites which would under other cirucumstances etc. etc.
GOOOOOOOOOO TEAM!! |

No, <YouTube> is not rectal cream. However, you'll be pleased to know that there is a skin cream (which actually contains urine- no joke) called <Anusol>. Proncounced "Ain You Sawl"... Imagine the opportunities for <ad copy> this presents to the inveterate punster <you>!! Mrs. Smeets on Hague

Just that the form itself stopped being 'live' on the first day of the 1960s. And those who stop being live are often said to be dead.> I got that <Dom>. Its just that I wanted to express my concern on the fact that the atmosphere on those records and video's, is no more (a)Live, anno 2007. I ranted on a bit on that in my post. It is mostly in the way-of-living, I think. But Jamie Cullum is cool tho. Respectful towards the legacy left by the true artists from that era. Wish there were more with that attitude. Sadly the artificiality surrounding us has taken a progressively stronger hold on life in "developed" countries. (Over-developed might be a better term). At the same time people in the 50's said that the arrival of recording technology got in the way of pure music making because of recordcompanies' interest in just making a ton of money.. But if not for that technology I wouldn't have had the luxury of enjoying so much good music.. Like you, I tend to get stuck on just a few artists out of the vast collection I have... Silly me. <contracting horizons>... Somehow very recognizable (sigh) That's why I join Zukertort tomorrow! already! Damn! Gonna get my butt kicked I'm afraid.. Am I afraid? Nah we already covered that one many a moon ago. ;-) I wish you luck, Dom, for your upcoming matches.. Go get'em tiger! |

| Mar-29-07 | | danielpi: <Dom><Isn't that a tautology? A rigorous thinker like <danielpi> might disagree, and even cite examples of things that were complete nonsense but not fun (transsubstantiation?) or fun but not complete nonsense (Borges? Lem? Wittgenstein?).> Heh. And to think we didn't get along so well at first. How ever did THAT happen?! Seems like ages ago, no? "Transubstantiation" only has two S's, incidentally. Oh, damnit, that's right, now I remember... :-)
Hope you're well.

| | Domdaniel: <daniel> Indeed. The trans word, I suppose, should really have one point five S's. Makes it harder to pronounce, however, so I went for two. Quantum sspelling. |
|
| Mar-29-07 | | danielpi: Addendum: I've always found the spelling of "wherever" to be a grotesque convention. "Whereever" doesn't seem better, but "wherever" is an eyesore.
What if I wanted to make a compound word of "when" and "never"? Would it be "whenever"? I think deeply about these things whenever I want to avoid work. |
