He has won a single wheelchair-enabled step.

< Honored members of Off The Ramp Society, distinguished guests,
ladies and gentlemen: What is there
for me to say? Everything wise and
witty has long since been said - by
minds more mature and talents far
greater than mine. For me to thank
you as equals would be presumptuous
- I am an apprentice in the Theater
and have much to learn from you
all. I can say only that I am proud
and happy and that I regard this
great honor not so much as an award
for what I have achieved, but as a
standard to hold against what I
have yet to accomplish.

I would come home after a night drinking, and I'd be STARVING. The obvious thing is to start DEEP FAT FRYING at 1am.

Another idea was to start slicing onions, while you have forgotten why you wanted to slice some onions.

It looks good on the page, and it sounds good out loud.

I thought I understood the first line. But since I don't get the rest of it, maybe I don't understand THAT much.

It reminds me of "Wovon Mann nicht sprechen kann, daruber muss Mann schweigen" (Wittgenstein). I go through periods of thinking that's really deep, and then I don't get the point of saying it at all (no irony intended).

Now "If a lion could speak we could not understand him" . That appeals to me, and it's later Wittgenstein, when he'd pretty much renounced the Tractatus.

I hadn't thought of Wittgenstein as a poet before, but maybe...

If you are intending to say the rosary you will immediately meet a DEAD END. Do you know the er <Apostles' Creed> Weren't they in Rocky III?

The best idea is to substitute the words to <One Nation Under A Groove> by Funkapolitan.

Then, it's an <Our Father> followed by <<TEN> Hail Marys>. Phew!...Then you do 4 more of those (1xOF + 10xHMs).

It's said Pope Francais said a rosary everyday. That's two saids in one!

<<The Popes and the Rosary>

This May [2020], during the month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pope Francis has invited the faithful to renew their love for the Most Holy Rosary, a prayer fully immersed in the Gospel.>

Then don't watch <Breakfast at Tiffany's>

No sir! It is a great means of salvation.

Actually, <do> watch it. I enjoyed the film quite a lot. And there is just one eye patch scene, iirc.>

I have never watched <BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S>.

I <have> seen the brilliant scenes with Mickey Rooney as the japanese-type. They are really funny.

The book is by Truman Capote. Groucho Marx said, in an interview, that Capote was a big fruit. I don't know what that means.

This photograph provides a good example:

I buy the second hand ones, from eBay, roughly £20 to £60.

Here is the question:

<Why do I <never> see two similar Ralph Lauren Polo shirts?>

Surely they don't make the shirts as <one-offs>? Or is the plural <ones-off>?

It is time for <CAPTION COMPETITION #13>!! Lucky for everyone!

(<As expressive as ever - Hikaru Nakamura playing white against Wei Yi | Photo: Michal Walusza>.)

YOU MUST PROVIDE A HILARIOUS, WITTY punchline to that picture in seven thousand words (or less).

The guest judge is <Katy Perry>, the singer and space traveller.

The winner will receive a single wheelchair-enabled step♿♿. Therefore this heirloom will build week-by-week into a complete set of wheelchair-enabled steps AND if you reply within the next two and a half weeks, you may be eligible for 1% off my autobiography <FLYING SAUCERS ARE REAL!!! AND THE SVESHNIKOV B33> (two books intertwined together. 819pp, 1 diagram.).

ALSO, every time you include the hashtag #potemkin, the Ukrainian 💙💙💛💛 government-in-exile will donate one 🇿inc kopek towards my campaign to make the Primorsky Stairs (aka the Potemkin Steps) fully wheelchair accessible.

So have a punt!

There were many magazines about photography, with pages and pages of adverts for camera accessories.

The camera itself, then the lens, and a zoom lens, the motor winder, the flash-gun, filters, tripods, reflecting umbrellas, film, a developing room, paper, acid, silver nitrate, ultra-violet lights, projector, screen, aluminium holdall, wife.

Then, one night, all of that became redundant.
All of that paraphernalia was replaced by the smartphone.

X Xu vs R Praggnanandhaa, 2025 (kibitz #3)

I was trying to point out the difference in <length in names>.

XU has a very short name, and Pragg has a very long name.

Who cares about the size of the laptops HD drive? 500Gb, 1Tb, 2Tb?

Who cares?

You can buy a very portable memory sdmmc card, 512Gb, tiny, for 30-40 euros.

<VINCENT>: I am Don. I love my family.

<DON>: That's good. Do you speak Italian at home?

<VINCENT>: We do, Don. We love the Italian culture.

<DON>: It's good to hear that. We have roots. Tell me the numbers, count one to 21 in Italian.

<VINCENT>: Don, we don't really use Italian numbers in our household. We er....

<DON>: Well, what is the Italian for cat, dog, mouse?

His toilet <before> the stables. The men's toilet would have been much smaller than the women's toilet (because he had 1000 wives).

The handicapped toilet would have been closest to the Temple, so that the lame and the halt would travel the shortest distance.

Solomon's stables would have created a huge stink from those horses. The stink from the horses would have drowned out the smell og King Solomon's poo.
