Remember, French and English both. :)
1. Say the Next Word: attitude
2. Two Word Game: green corn
3. Word Association Game: Donny
4. Song Title Game: I Want You--The Beatles
5. Aye or Nay: Aye... Figurines/knick-knacks ? Well,...

Getting cold in the mornings over here, though. Late summer and fall is my favorite time of year, though. It's funny to be an old man talking about the weather, but I'm happier with every beach day...
Yup! :)

I'll give you a tip, too. There are two more vowels in this word. Letter O and letter I are there already, and you know that letter A is not there. The remaining vowels shouldn't be very hard to...
Wrote a little, read a little, ran off four spambots in pitched battle. My word, it's been a good day!
He was always thinking of his brother's soul, or of the souls of those who differed with him in opinion:
Well, Shakespeare was not a historian. It wasn't at all his priority. Macbeth, for example, didn't kill Duncan in his sleep. He killed him, but on the field of battle. Dick III may have been as...
Okay. The same word exists in French and English. :)
Don't worry about the spambot, Cacian. Put it on ignore status and all its spam will disappear.
Do you want another hint?
No M. Do you want another hint?
Yes, articles can be quite idiomatic. I would prefer to have none as with Latin. But I suppose they make languages richer in their own way--less spare in any case.
There once was a horse and a groom
Whose discourse fell on Molly Bloom.
"If she were my daughter,"
Confessed the stout trotter,
"She'd be sent sans her hay to her room."
Good Lord that was a...
Ah, well in my time there were plenty of real Boston-Irish pubs in the city. They were their own thing--not Irish-Irish exactly but potentially rough or friendly depending on whether anyone was...
More helpful anthropology, Cookie. The English pubs I have been to were all London pubs (the last in Hammersmith, I think). I found them enormously welcoming, but that no doubt was the result of good...
Now that I think of, that could almost pass a haiku.
Arose in the dark.
A silent prayer as dawn came.
What will the day bring?
Absolutely brilliant, Tony. Not only the colors but the images--a forking road above, a winding road below, and distant mountains. One of your best.
Arose in the dark. Quiet meditation/silent prayer in dawn. What will the day bring?
He's probably right. As Catullus angrily observed (and in verse), it's a mistake to try to infer a poet from his poems. It's mighty tempting, though, with both of them--and any other bard about whom...
Coping is easy, Cacian. Send me a private message and I will show you how. Come join those of us who are still laughing. :)
I hope the baby and poor Herr Riesling manage to escape your canibalistic plans. Please M, steak and potatoes is enough. Not allowed to drink anymore, but I'll toast you with a little Beethoven. To...
It's hard to say, Cacian. Here are a few I have taken along with me in life. Storm Fear is probably the most personally meaningful, Sennacherib the most beautiful to hear (well, tied with A Midsummer...
So far I have awoken, covered my wife's legs with a blanket, poured myself a cup of room-temperature coffee (my preference), shot four or five spambots out of the sky, snickered contentedly to...
