It was another Saturday
somewhere in a quiet corner of France
when a child was born.
Mme Sa Mere exclaimed:
“Enfins! Une jolie petite fille!”
To which, I suspect, you responded:
“Why do you speak zat stupeed
Franch language? Cannot you see
zat I am a leetle hAmerican child
who was meant to be born
in Dez Moines or Weechita?
Stop peesing me off
and get wiz ze programme!”

Love Sonnet on Your Birthday
There is a thing called love that we pursue,
We chase it through golden dreams and darkness overcome..
The journey is long and arduous, but if we can endure
Somewhere out there somewhere is our perfect someone.
You never know just whom they may be if you set you sights too high.
Many a rich and high-class person is a cold bed when all is done
You want your choice to be given by the master of love's lullaby.
Listen to your heart more follow the guidance of only love.
Dream about the choice you would make and what it would mean after,
Can you picture happiness and love always within the home?
If you chose someone that others cannot accept, will it be a disaster?
Or will the love between the two of you look at the trouble and remain strong?
Love, they tell me is a many splendored thing.
I say love is what you make of it, Happy Birthday.

Thank you all!!!! :) :) :)
I had a nice birthday, I went to some kind of 'pancake bar' with my parents and had French 'crêpes'. In dessert, I had a wonderful crêpe with melted hot chocolate in it and whipped cream and caramel and white chocolate ice cream too, on it!! :p
Kiz paws, these candies look nice!
FifthElement, NO, I am the baroness of Lakedistrict! :D
Jer, your poem cracks me up!!! :D
Pensive and MotherHubbard, your cakes are wonderful!!
Cdn, that is not nice of you to have eaten all MY candies. :D You bad girl.

ooops, I'm late. where's your other b-day thread gone?
anyway, happy birthday again. couldn't think of a gift, so here's a pic of toy dog Fuffel (the u is pronounced like ou in French). He's singing a b-day song for you:
"ooooooow ooooow" :)

Oh Sleepy I love it!!!:) :) He's so cute!! Thank you!
Hey, for Christmas, I will have a stuffed dog which you can put in the microwave for 2 minutes, and then it stays warm for one hour and a half, so that I can put in in my bed with me!! Yes, I'm 23 and I still sleep with stuffed animals, and so what?:D

I am sure you are Sophie :D
I hope you did not only write it, but that you also sang it?
I am a terrible singer :-(
I can play a tune for you :D
I DEMAND that you sing for me. :D
LOL :-)
Remember Sophie - we English chopped of the king's head for the Demanding and so did your Ancestors :D
Song can't be demanded Sophie. It has to come from the heart and Heart Sings when it's Free :D
Sweets America
12-17-2007, 09:06 AM
I am sure you are Sophie :D
Yes I am worth it. I am like you, I am worth being admired and worshiped. :D
I am a terrible singer :-(
I can play a tune for you :D
Yeah? I would be happy to hear that, dear Lote.
Remember Sophie - we English chopped of the king's head for the Demanding and so did your Ancestors :D
Song can't be demanded Sophie. It has to come from the heart and Heart Sings when it's Free :D
Do you mean you could behead me if I asked for too much? :cold: :cold:
But...dear Lote, I thought the song would have come from your little heart. :( :bawling: Isn't your heart free? Poor little Lote.
I am so sad that you won't sing for me. I'm sure if you had done so, all the women in the world would have been jealous of me. Plus, I could have secretly recorded you and sold the recording to women who would have paid a lot of money for it. Because you are famous, and you are loved, Lote. :D

Yes I am worth it. I am like you, I am worth being admired and worshiped. :D
Worship!!? Lassie by imitationg me you are going beyond me! My God what I have done!!! This thing I unleashed! May God have mercy on my soul :-( :D
Yeah? I would be happy to hear that, dear Lote.
Sure. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (reduced version of course ;-)) or "Titanic" theme?
Do you mean you could behead me if I asked for too much? :cold: :cold:
But...dear Lote, I thought the song would have come from your little heart. :( :bawling: Isn't your heart free? Poor little Lote.
I begining to get worried about you Sophie. This Vanity thing is going to your head too much :D God what I have done :-(
I am so sad that you won't sing for me.
I can't sing lassie. Unless you want a burst ear-drum :D
I'm sure if you had done so, all the women in the world would have been jealous of me.
Jelousy Lassie, be careful. It's a green-eyed monster. It mocks the flesh it feeds on :D
So don't go for jealousy :D
Because you are famous, and you are loved, Lote. :D
Fame? I would rather have love. That ever-expanding feeling that knows no hate... :D

Yes, I know, I am getting worse and worse, Lote!! Please help meeee!! I want to come back to being the Sophie I was before! Lote, the destiny of my soul in between your hands! :cold: (now that is scary).
Sure. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (reduced version of course ;-)) or "Titanic" theme?
Moonlight Sonata!!! I want that! :D
I begining to get worried about you Sophie. This Vanity thing is going to your head too much :D God what I have done :-(
I know..:( It's all YOUR fault. :flare:
But, I am thinking...since my head is expanding too much, maybe you are right after all, maybe we should behead me. I understand now that your desire to behead me was only an attempt to help me. Oh dear Lote, you are so good, you know? :D
I can't sing lassie. Unless you want a burst ear-drum :D
Go for it, it will be ok for my ear drums since I am going to get rid of my head anyway. :D
Jelousy Lassie, be careful. It's a green-eyed monster. It mocks the flesh it feeds on :D
So don't go for jealousy :D
Ok. You are so wise, Lote. I think that while I am becoming like you, you are actually becoming like me. :D
Fame? I would rather have love. That ever-expanding feeling that knows no hate... :D
I agree, love is way better than fame. :D
Ok now I need to go. No train, but I just need to work on my linguistics exam. :)
See you later, dear Lote, and please do not forget to bring an ax. You know, to behead me. :)

There is no need to fear because Lote is here :D
But, I am thinking...since my head is expanding too much, maybe you are right after all, maybe we should behead me. I understand now that your desire to behead me was only an attempt to help me. Oh dear Lote, you are so good, you know? :D
Dear sophie you are quite good at this arn't you ;-) You must have an excellent teacher ;-) I would thank him if I was you :D
Ok. You are so wise, Lote. I think that while I am becoming like you, you are actually becoming like me. :D
But Sophie I prefer my masculinity. I am after all a macho guy :D
See you later, dear Lote, and please do not forget to bring an ax. You know, to behead me. :)
Guilotine is on stand-by! Just in case ;-)
Lets hope we don't have to use it :D

See Sophie becoming me is a Dangerous Thing :D Beware :D
Yes, I see, and I hope it's not too late to go back to who I was before. I was such a nice girl before knowing you. :D
This is the biggest problem with you. At first sight, you seem nice, so people think 'let's be friends with this Lote guy', but after some time, people realize the mistake they have made! :D :D :p
There is no need to fear because Lote is here :D
This really made me laugh. :D Now I am wondering if you could have put some drug in my drink so that I would be high and laugh at everything you say. :D
Dear sophie you are quite good at this arn't you ;-) You must have an excellent teacher ;-) I would thank him if I was you :D
I know I am good. :D You will understand, I hope, that I really cannot thank my teacher because I am too scared that his head could expand too much and explode. It would surely be funny on the moment, but after, well, he woud never be able to make me laugh again. :D
But Sophie I prefer my masculinity. I am after all a macho guy :D
This is one of those things you really have to struggle against. Being a macho guy is NOT GOOD. You should try to add some gayness to your personality. :) Then you would not only attract women, but also men. Maybe animals, too. :D Oh, Lote, you are so popular! :D
Guilotine is on stand-by! Just in case ;-)
Lets hope we don't have to use it :D
I wonder, I really wonder if I will be able to get cured before it is too late. :(

That's where I am going wrong all these years! I give the people the impression I am nice! Don't worry Sophie I am working very hard to get rid of that nice-ness from me. One day I shall suceed :D
This really made me laugh. :D Now I am wondering if you could have put some drug in my drink so that I would be high and laugh at everything you say. :D
Sophie! Drugs are evil. Stay off drugs! :D
I know I am good. :D You will understand, I hope, that I really cannot thank my teacher because I am too scared that his head could expand too much and explode. It would surely be funny on the moment, but after, well, he woud never be able to make me laugh again. :D
But Sophie - to die laughing would be such a wonderous thing. It is better than dieing and crying :D
You should try to add some gayness to your personality. :)
But Sophie - I love women! It is them that keeps me going :D
Then you would not only attract women, but also men.
Men are so boring Sophie. I prefer the company of women. They will not rip your head off when they lose in a argument and they smell nice :D
Maybe animals, too. :D
Animals love me too Sophie :D I used to own a dog, a cat, a mynah bird, a baby calf, a heron and a bower bird.
But one day my dog accidentally eat rat poison and went mad. His hair fell off and died :-(
Since then I have not owned any pets.
Oh, Lote, you are so popular! :D
I try my best not to Sophie :-(
Sweets America
12-17-2007, 11:30 AM
First, I would like to underline the fact that you used my name 7 times in your message. That must be some kind of proof that you are starting to worship me. :D
That's where I am going wrong all these years! I give the people the impression I am nice! Don't worry Sophie I am working very hard to get rid of that nice-ness from me. One day I shall suceed :D
Ah, you still have a lot of work to do, you know, because you still seem nice to me. I hope you will succeed in becoming very mean. In the meantime I wish that you fail. I am sorry, but I think I prefer you the way you are today. :D
Sophie! Drugs are evil. Stay off drugs! :D
Well, I had never done drugs BEFORE YOU put this thing in my glass, Lote. Once again, you are trying to accuse me of something that YOU did. :D I would be so ashamed if I were you, Lote. :D
Plus, I am sure that you must take some kind of drug as well, because I don't think it could be possible for you to be the way you are WITHOUT drugs being involved in the process. :)
But Sophie - to die laughing would be such a wonderous thing. It is better than dieing and crying :D
Well, erm, what almost made me have a heart attack is the way you just spelt 'dying'. :D
That is not nice of you, Lote, to try to kill me by misspelling words. :D
But Sophie - I love women! It is them that keeps me going :D
I know, Lote. Do not worry, women will keep screaming your name. :D
Men are so boring Sophie. I prefer the company of women. They will not rip your head off when they lose in a argument and they smell nice :D
Oh, no, I really prefer men. I have always envied friendships between men. I think women can be more judgemental on people's appearance, for instance, they criticize you because of your haircut or your shoes. :sick: This is not the case for every woman, of course, but those who are this way just piss me off. Like the other day, in the train, there were two girls, one of them telling the other: 'I wonder how *insert the name of a guy here* can go out with such an ugly girl'. They spent a good deal of their time talking about such things. I just wanted to reply that it might be better to be with an ugly girl than to be with stupid ones like them. :D Anyway. This is why I prefer guys. :D
Animals love me too Sophie :D I used to own a dog, a cat, a mynah bird, a baby calf, a heron and a bower bird.
But one day my dog accidentally eat rat poison and went mad. His hair fell off and died :-(
Since then I have not owned any pets.
Aww, sorry about your dog. :( I know the pain, I just lost mine and he was my best friend.
You had a baby calf? SO CUTE!
I'm sure your birds where happy with their Lote Tree. :D
I try my best not to Sophie :-(
I am afraid that it is the story of your life, to be popular. This is the way things are, my poor Lote.
Oh, I am thinking you might like what I am doing in linguistics. I am building Trees with sentences. :D Those are not Lote Trees, but they are still Trees.:D

2) if indeed he is stuffed it is likely because of the verdammte leberwurst and sauerbratten you insist on feeding him!

Don't worry it will pass! :D
I hope you will succeed in becoming very mean.
Yes. Very mean!
I am sorry, but I think I prefer you the way you are today. :D
I see I have a long way to go.
Plus, I am sure that you must take some kind of drug as well, because I don't think it could be possible for you to be the way you are WITHOUT drugs being involved in the process. :)
Yep! That Drug is called LOVE! :D
That is not nice of you, Lote, to try to kill me by misspelling words. :D
LOL :D
Now now you know me I can't a spell a thing! ;-) So your death would be accidental :D
I have always envied friendships between men.
Friendship between men are like two stones in a pod :D
I think women can be more judgemental on people's appearance,
No doubt! So can men!
Aww, sorry about your dog. :( I know the pain, I just lost mine and he was my best friend.
No problem it was long time ago.
I'm sure your birds where happy with their Lote Tree. :D

Ehehehehe!! True! :D
Don't worry it will pass! :D
Yes. Very mean!
I see I have a long way to go.
Yes, a long long way. In 30 years from now, when you have become very mean, I will be able to say 'I have known The Great Lote Tree when he was a nice guy, a long time ago'. And then, people will have wide-open eyes because it will seem so strange to them to hear that you once were nice. :D They will regret the good old days.
Yep! That Drug is called LOVE! :D
That is wonderful for you to have found this. :)
LOL :D
Now now you know me I can't a spell a thing! ;-) So your death would be accidental :D
Do you mean that since you always misspell words, this particular misspelt word cannot be responsible for my death? Does it have something to do with coincidences or something? I feel there is a scientific theory beyond that. :D
Friendship between men are like two stones in a pod :D
I am not sure I understand the metaphor. I am not sure what a pod is. I am sure your metaphor is nice though, because it comes from you, and everything that comes from Lote is nice. For the time being, at least. :D
I derived my opinion from this principle:
-Everything about Lote is nice
-Lote used a metaphor
-The metaphor must therefore be nice.
:D
Whats linguistics with out Lote-Trees ?:D
Well, maybe linguistics would be easier without Lote-Tree because the sentences would look better. :D

I'm doing CGEL trees with my students these days. Let's set up a linguists club :D
I'm doing trees on syntax. I put the verb first in V position, and then there is a V' and a VP, and then you put the internal argument, the external one, the adjuncts and then the inflection of the verb, and then the tree moves! The subject (external argument) moves to get its nominal case and the verb gives its accusitive case and such. And it becomes tricky to represent trees with passive verbs, verbs with 3 arguments or questions. :D

hum.. sounds like either Chomsky or something remotely similar to valency.. or maybe not so similar. is it called transformational grammar?... Phrase structure grammar (PSG)? X-bar theory?

anyway, are syntax trees a symbol of genitals? :D

Yes, a long long way. In 30 years from now...
What! I have to wait 30 years! That just sucks! :D
There must be a quicker way to get mean...perhaps I should become a politician :D
Does it have something to do with coincidences or something?
There is no such thing as coincidences! Everything is destiny! You cannot escape it.
I am not sure I understand the metaphor. I am not sure what a pod is.
Never heard of the expression two pea in a pod?
-Everything about Lote is nice
-Lote used a metaphor
-The metaphor must therefore be nice.
:D
You will not let me be mean will you!! :D
That's how I remain nice I guess :-(
Well, maybe linguistics would be easier without Lote-Tree because the sentences would look better. :D
Perhaps. But it would be boring no doubt :D

Ehehe, I think you are the first guy I meet who complains about having to be nice for 30 years. :D
Oh, be really careful Lote, you are talking about politics here, you are going to get banned. :D

You might be totally right, but you might also be totally wrong. The only thing we know is that nobody knows whether there is a destiny or not. How could you be sure of anything else? Eh? :) (you smart a*s*s :p )

No? (this is an occasion for you to explain me something and give me some of your wonderful Lote-intelligence!:) )

Ehehe, you cannot be mean to me because I always try to be peaceful even with those who try to be mean, so in the end the just give up being mean. :D Well, I must admit that there are times when I lose my temper though. :D
Perhaps. But it would be boring no doubt :D
Ah, yes, without Lote-Trees, linguistics would not be the same. I think that the fact that there are Lote-Trees in it is what made most linguistic teachers choose this career. :D
