Is it going to be Earl Grey, hot?
why have hot, when you could have cold, which will not scold the milk?
*shudders* Why should anyone want milk in their tea?
Litnet celebrity "unbeliever" could post a question.
What if I can't think of an intelligent question for the litnet celebrity? Will the silly one still be answered?
Wow what a penetrating question, why worry about running out of good questions?
Aren't all questions questions?
Haven't you heard a stupid question before? Like would you temper my sandwich?
Question: ever heard of the comic strip Tumbleweeds, by T.K. Ryan? One of the Poohawk Indiain Medicine Man's peoms run's thus:
"Tis the problem of the day:
How to send him on his way!
Should we feed him to the ants?
Should we should or should we shan't?
Would he toast best over the coals,
Or spread-eagled on some knoll?
Shall we vote to send him howling,
Via stake or disembowling?
Mercy, such anxiety,
Over a mere fatality?
T.K. Ryan 1967
How do you answer that question?
Isn't that politically incorrect? Or does Indian mean Indian?
Frankly, young one, if it is "politically incorrect", one must lay the blame on Christopher Columbus, oui?
Answering a question with a question...a more positive re-incarnation? quasi
Questions only-- operor vos non percipio?
Ok Pen, my rusty Latin makes your question out as...don't you learn from your work? or more literally perhaps, you don't learn much from your senses? You will tell me if or how far my foot is in the bocal cavity?
I thought this thread would be a great window for asking specific, literature related questions. It morphed into the food channel and part time chat room, which is ok but then you have to keep alert for the well aimed question. Capiche? quasimodo1 ...ps: thread started by Pendragon
Wait - what are we talking about?
(Can't you tell I'm confused?)
Since it's questions only, you can post whatever you want to as long as it's in the form of a question, cant you? And it is hard to keep up with the conversation of questions isn't?
Why do you need to ask me that? Haven't you noticed that I'm having more than just a little trouble yet?
It was you haven't learned that yet? Or Do you not yet understand from perception, would be closer, I think? My translator is on the fritz at the froojkub sdmdnkl?Quote:

Why can't we all just get along?
To Pen: Safely esconcing the foot. Normally the smileys drive me crazy, which may not be a long trip, but your's live and really add something. The little book guy is great. Getting back from digression, would you believe that i had four years of Latin and was forced to read Virgil in original text? I well remember this bit..."Introibo ad alteri dei"?? It's not Virgil. quasi
Is Latin really dead?
Latin isn't dead, just recycled into the roots of the Romance languages. Knowing Latin can help you disect words and write classy introductions to novels. Not dead, but giving a transfusion to other languages. quasimodo1................................ Is Aramaic really dead?
Do you actually know someone who still speaks it?
And why is Pen's little chap reading his book backwards? Or is there something wrong with my eyes?
"Enter through another God?" http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Kane/dunno.gifQuote:

Don't you find it annoying when people continuosly flip pages until it comes to the point where they would be better off just reading the book?
To Pendragon: Actually, it is...I enter (approach) the alter of God. You didn't pose a question...so...from the Roman Catholic hymm for the dead.....Dies irae, dies illa....? quasi
Latin I am indeed rusty in, to be sure, but I have forgotten verb congugation in French, my second language, so am I really to blame? This is what I come up with after about three minutes:
A day of much wrath, a day for which there has been plenty paid.
Or maybe as I seem to recognize words from an old hymn:
“A day of wrath, for which many shall pay.”
Is that anywhere in the old ballpark, or should I close my Latain note book and creep away?

To Pen: The question was a bit unfaiir since i had to rote-memorize hundreds of lines relative to the catholic mass, the mass of the dead (which dies irae, dies illa is from), high mass, benedictions and ad nauseam. This expression is the first two words of the long prayer of mouning in the mass of the dead....meaning...day of wrath, day of mourning ...and it goes on interminably from there. I played the organ while the rest of the deacons had to sing it in gregorian chant. NOW THAT,S RELIGIOUS OVERLOAD. You were almost right on though. I can't take anymore of this Latin. What other language or question on linguistics might you like? quasi
what other language wouldn't I like? Why you gotta take it so seriously?
Habla espanol?
a la sala? a palindrome? yo soy? parle francais?
. . .Huh?
:D
'yo soy' and 'a la sala' are palindromes, dont't you see? very simple ones, but if your teacher gives out candy for palindromes, then simple ones are sufficent, yes?
You mean like "Madam, I'm Adam." ? And I speak fragments of Spanish, French is my second language and I usually make a complete fool of myself with it, I learned some German as a kid and Sleepy could tell you I murder it.
Cor blimey, luv, oi bain't so gud wi' t' bloody Brit speak, Bob's yer uncle?

Anyone miss me?
the last time I saw you here you said that if 5 people wanted to know, you'd tell us who you are. Last count, 5 had asked and I'm still waiting for you to reveal yourself.Quote:
