Don't ye know it be "Talk like a pirate day" ? ;)
Blast yer boots, lassie, dinnae ye ken I were restin' fine, but nay, ye maun fire a broadside into me fo'castle an' dredge up th' Ghost O' The Dastardly, wan what sailed under Cap'n Stan (ater me death at th' hands o' Long John aboard th' Hispanola, o'course) didn't ye?
Why don't ye leave me boots be and celebrate this fine day, ye saltydog?
(Do you know that is a high honor in piratese to be called a saltydog?)
Can you believe, I find this language difficult to comprehend? Oh, when will this pirate language speaking day end? When will everyone come back to normal?Quote:

It is quite peculiar that speaking in piratical brouge should be so intoxicating, is it not?
Sorry, Maddie, but do you know that my character, Auld Arrow, speaks not only like a shipmate, but a Scottish man? Have you ever read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson? Auld Arrow would be Mr. Arrow, the one the pirates killed and threw overboard long before they got to the island, understand? I turned him into a ghost during the ship wars, as The Ghost of The Dasdardly and liked the character, and tell you the truth, do you know it's almost as hard to write brogue as it is to understand it? :lol:
Why are we doing so many difficult things then? Why not make things simple?
Well, maybe we would start out simple and then get more complicated as the day wore on?
Why not keep everything as simple as possible? We do we need to incorporate complex situations?
David, did you mean to say "why" or "when" for that second "we"? ;)Quote:

Who do I think I am pointing out the supposed errors of others when maybe I should look at my own? :p Am I not assuming something that may in fact be incorrect?
If things always started out simple, do you think that the US Declaration of Independance would begin with a sentence like : "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." ? Why not, "Yo man, we're sick of this; we're outta here!"? :lol:

In fact, couldn't that post be understood as being deeper and of a slightly more profound nature than the criticism it received?
Why are you tediously monotonous in revealing modicum by minute microscopic flyspeck each depressing factual element of your query? :yawnb:
...eh? :confused:
No...really? ;)Quote:

Why do I have to do anything at all? Why cant I sleep the whole weekend?
Wouldn't that be detrimental to all of us? Wouldn't we miss your presence? :D
Do you mean me? Why does Shout has to write sentences full of so much meaning??
Don't you deserve meaningful sentences? Would I impart upon you anything less?
This is not some philosophy thread, and I have revised the meaning of this thread. Now it says, ask only easy questions, that have ONLY ONE meaning. :D Am I sleepy?????
Is that a trick question?
It sounds tricky doesn't it? Perhaps she was asking herself?
why does she ask it herself if she doesn't know the answer? If she knows the answer, why ask in the first place?
Cant someone look for answers from within? Why do you guys have to make so much fuss?? :rolleyes:
Isn't that what guys do best? ;)
Us? Don't you mean YOU??
Who is making a fuss here? Isn't it obvious it's the girls making all the fuss?
Am I really to infer that Madhuri and I are making a fuss?
Never mind; 'cause the boys are not complaining anyway. They are just pointing out a fact. Girls just can't help being fussy, can they?
Is that really a safe statement to make? :eek:
And when have I ever made a fuss? :angel: :angel: :angel: :)
One at a time or all at once?:lol:
Is that another trick question? :pQuote:

Isn't it obvious that you are merely trying to deflect attention away from yourself? :D
If Kathy's intentioned gains were decipherable, wouldn't we have taken measures against her progress by now?
Why would I do that? :rolleyes:
What measures do you plan to take if she was playing trick A and what if trick B? :D
Well, doesn't the main idea centre around the concept of dividing and conquering?
What do you want to conquer and divide?
