 | | Open Defence: it adds a hole new meaning to the phrase Get Noughted! |
|
| Jan-31-08 | | achieve: Because WE - YOU AND ME - forgot to nominate HIM - in stead that Dylan guy was unjustly hyped... Put on that record on LOUD and class and Coolth fills your room... |
|
Jan-31-08
 | | Domdaniel: *ahem* ... *blush* ... ehh, I didn't actually invent <Noughties>, it musta been somebody noughtier. I dare not ask what a <hole new meaning> might be ... more zeroes? |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: I'd vote for that Miles Davis too. Even if it still all just sounds like guitar-tuning to me. Not many people can do that without a guitar. |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Open Defence: <I dare not ask what a <hole new meaning> might be ... more zeroes?> Now now.. don't be Noughty |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: I just got given a Tom Waits CD. Somewhere in the vast space between Dylan and Davis? Or just an alco-beatnik poseur? Scuse me while I listen... |
|
| Jan-31-08 | | achieve: I bet Miles was one of Dylan's fav musicians... if so, then that makes Dylan cooler as well... <Not many people can do that without a guitar.> Very, exceedingly freaky funny. (I laughed - but er.. "differrent") |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: I think I've worked this much out:
(a) When people say "heh", it's because they find something funny. (b) When people say "very funny" they're being sardonic and it's NOT ONE BIT FUNNY. (c) When people say "LOL" they don't know me very well. Or they're stupid. Or extremely clever, and being ironic. <Very - heh - funny LOL> |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: (f) Agreed ... |
|
| Jan-31-08 | | achieve: I deleted my prev. post because it was misplaced.
In any case the funniness of your posts should "not be up for measure" Doing that kills every spontaneous input- Verboten indeed. |
|
| Jan-31-08 | | achieve: what was (f) ?
We placed/deleted simul
(e) If only things were that simple? OK - keep that.
(g) is for Gess
|
|
| Jan-31-08 | | achieve: I'm a dork. |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: And I'm in Cork. But 'dork' and 'cork' don't rhyme. Whatever it says in 'The Dork from Cork' by ... uhh ... Chet Raymo? Filmed as 'Frankie Starlight', I think ... with Gabriel Byrne ... Omigod, am I making this up?
(g) No. |
|
Jan-31-08
| | Domdaniel: Sorry, that should read:
(h) No.
(g) is - of course - for Gess. aka Gess the Move. |

| | Domdaniel: The habit of job or place-related nicknames -- especially in country areas where many people have the same name -- is often associated with Wales -- eg, a postman called 'Dai the post'. But it used to occur in Ireland too ... I once had a neighbor named 'Pat the River' (everyone was called Pat, but he lived near the river). It's all dying out now, like names and country places. But <Jess the Move> is still a good nick. Dom the Data Dump. |
|
| Feb-01-08 | | achieve: <Dom>-<It's all dying out now, like names and country places.> heh Vancouver has gotten its name from a Dutch family: van Coevorden - which originates from the city Coevorden (without the "K", funnily enough), but in 1148 this place (in Drenthe - Eastern Provence) was mentioned for the first time in an official document, and was named "Koevoorde" - a place where Koeien (cows) could cross <the river> It's not difficult to see the connections in this case, and in general <It's all dying out now, like names and country places.> is a reliable, valid statement. Any language twists any name to his/her own liking.
PS. You WILL win this weekend -- I can smell victory already or should that be:
I can already hear the roar from the galleries, across the pond, all the way to Amsterdam... GOOOO Bent L. |
|
| Feb-01-08 | | achieve: What I am trying to get across with that cheer, is the fact that you are not just playing for yourself, <Dom> -- but that you have a whole LEGION of loyal students attending Frogspawn University Crypto Krassers!! Lest not forget those... |
|
Feb-01-08
| | Open Defence: <but that you have a whole LEGION of loyal students attending Frogspawn..> also let us not forget the former unified Champion Kramnik..... ;-p |
|
Feb-01-08
| | Domdaniel: Thanks, people. I'll try to avoid *Fouled Up Chess Katastrophes* ... |
|
Feb-01-08
| | Domdaniel: <Go Bent L.> Um ... if an 'L' *isn't* bent, then it's more like an 'I' ... |
|
Feb-01-08
| | Open Defence: fair to say Good Ole Bent had his own slant on things |
|
| Feb-01-08 | | achieve: <Um ... if an 'L' *isn't* bent, then it's more like an 'I' ...> Hey dude, that looks a bit like "small pipe", or a dudeen, if you willie... There are rumours that the "Bentness" depends on the bloodflow... |
|
Feb-01-08
| | Domdaniel: <if you willie> ... heh. <Bentness depends on the bloodflow> ... sheer unmitigated bentitude, is what this is. We're all going to be put in the Noughty Corner (h8) again, if this, ahem, keeps up. |

Feb-01-08
| | Domdaniel: <Niels> Vancouver essentially founded by Dutch cows -- innaresting. My ex-girlfriend (ie, the one who put up with me longest) once worked in a Dutch factory (shovelling plastic pips into fruit sludge to make 'authentic' strawberry jam? Nah, that sounds more like Germany ...) Anyhow, she was approached by a Dutch worker who asked her if she was a boy or a girl. And she understood him, cos she'd studied Old English (everything has its uses). She said it was simply "Be thee a missy or a young 'un?", Dutchified. |

 | | Stonehenge: *Words not to be used again*
<The sketch:>
(Cut to the five Gumbys standing in a tight group.)
Gumbys: Thank you. And now a sketch about a chemist called The Chemist Sketch. (A number of men and women are sitting around in an area by the counter where there is a large sign saying 'Dispensing Department'. A cheerful chemist appears at the counter.) Chemist: Right. I've got some of your prescriptions here. Er, who's got the pox? (nobody reacts) ... Come on, who's got the pox ... come on... (a man timidly puts his hand up) . .. there you go. (throws bottle to the man with his hand up) Who's got a boil on the bum... boil on the botty. (throws bottle to the only man standing up) Who's got the chest rash? (a woman with a large bosom puts up hand) Have to get a bigger bottle. Who's got wind? (throws bottle to a man sitting on his own) Catch. (Caption on the screen: 'THE CHEMIST SKETCH - AN APOLOGY') Voice Over: The BBC would like to apologize for the poor quality of the writing in that sketch. It is not BBC policy to get easy laughs with words like bum, knickers, bony or wee-wees. (laughs off camera) Ssssh! (Cut to a man standing by a screen with a clicker.)
BBC Man: These are the words that are not to be used again on this programme. (He clicks the clicker. On screen appear the following slides: B*M
B*TTY
P*X
KN*CKERS
W**-W**
SEMPRINI
(A girl comes into shot.)
Girl: Semprini!?
BBC Man: (pointing) Out!
(Cut back to the chemist's shop. The chemist appears again.) Chemist: Right, who's got a boil on his Semprini, then? (A policeman appears .and bundles him off.)
