Gil, what does anything have to do with dead chickens?

And TM - it might sound French (now that I think of it ), but then it should (I guess) be Thinlómienne , not Thinlómien - Thinlómien would be male and how a French person would pronounce Thinlómienne would be closer to the correct Elvish pronounciation than how a French(wo)man would pronounce Thinlómien...

I must nominate davem's:

Very intriguing and fascinating.

Are they married women?

Because then surely they're Ring-wraiths.

Oh goodness, it's been more than two months! I'm so sorry, Eomer.

You see, The Might, a BDer once ranted in her blog about receiving an unsigned neg rep criticising her beliefs. Eomer's signature has the purpose of discouraging (or at least hoping to discourage) this practice.

This is hardly the place, however, for a discussion on neg reps, so I'll leave it at that.

I apologise for the double-post, but I could hardly resist alatar's siggie:

Very true! That's one of the reasons I chose Biology as my major. And through my every encounter with the intricacies of the genetic code, or the simple complexities of how the body works... wow. Just amazing.

Oh no, Lhuna, please don't get started on this.

I nominate Lommy's because of its effect: it got me, this morning when I woke up and realised that I have one hour time before having to go, reading the first poem about Tom Bombadil in English (which was for the first time I read it in original).

Quote:
On the bank in the reeds River-woman sighing
heard the old Barrow-Wight in his mound crying
The reading made me partially happy and partially disappointed. Disappointed because I found about two or three things in it that would be great for signature, but I don't want to change my signatures three times a day.

I believe both. Because I thought this was the intention of Rune's sig. "Hocus Pocus" is actually folk-interpretation of for them unintellegible words they heard often during the sermon... am I correct Rune?

You are correct Legate it is both. . . Some people belive that "Hocus Pocus" as you say derive from "Hoc Est Corpus" and then I thought it would be fun to change it a bit to "Hoc Est Porcus"

Thanks for the nomination.

Well many don't want to accept the fact that what we are celebrating today is not Jesus' birthday (which also is probably also not the 25th of March as the Catholic Church considers) but the birthday of the unconquered sun, the winter solstice when the day conquers the night and begins to grow again.

For example the current Pope along with other commentators argumented that the celebration of Jesus' brithday precedes the festival of Sol Invictus, however the first celebration of Christmas on this day is recorded in 243 AD, while the first celebration of Sol Invictus goes back to 222 AD.

Anyway, I hate the whole commercial background of Christmas, just as I hate the Coca-Cola Santa.
So after all maybe it is best that it isn't really Christ's birthday that we have turned into this strange festival, but rather a pagan celebration.

So, happy birthday Arien!

Sorry for the double post but I really like Mithalwen's at the moment.
I must admit that I was touched by this tragic event although I personally thought it was a matter of time when she returned to Pakistan. This only shows that certain countries are not yet ready for democracy and equality.
She was a great lady who in my opinion fought a fight that can not yet be won.

No coward soul....

Thanks. I cannot pretend that I am very knowledgeable about Pakistani politics but I admired Benazir Bhutto. Regardless of family background, any woman who becomes a head of government has achieved something remarkable - especially in cultures where to be born a woman is to be born a second class citizen.

She was intelligent, charismatic, and she was brave - she knew her likely fate but continued on her path. She knew the odds but did not refuse the fight ...

I've just been hacked to death!!!!The Barrow Downer, where everything is true!
Now, to this I must protest. The name of the Newspaper is The Downer. The Barrow is the name of our rival tabloid paper as referenced a few months back.

And by-the-way, the 'page 49,823!' is a reference to a recurring joke in the newspaper. I think I once had something being on page '4 million' or something.

Anyway...

Bêthberry's signature intrigues me...

Oh. FINE! I'll change it then if it makes you not yell at me!

Anywho,
four million pages means not a lot of trees!

I also like the sig of Mith and I think it is important that people like Benazir Bhutto will be remembered and not forgotten after a few months, unfortunately that is usually how it goes.

Anyways with the risk of chatting, I want to say that there in my view is a great difference between democracy and equality.

I think you are the person most eminently qualified to make that interpretation, Mr. Hookbill, as you seem to be responsible for much of the verbal vandalism that goes on here.

I can already tell it's going to be a really good New Year

But though this august gathering never actually took place I know enought to understand that Boromir88's grief will be easily controlled regarding Mr Carr's departure ...

From the aspect of literary construction, I like the change of the original saying's focus on third person (for they are...) to the second person (for you are...), and the default assumption of the statement to be true.

Naria's is a lovely break from the usual pratter of the matter:

He's from my neck of the woods, as far as I know. That and his theory on the work place, which does have some grain of truth.

Oh and I am quite taken with Groin's. Must be my height, or rather lack thereof, that makes it amusing to me.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet or not, but Brinn's makes me laugh devilishly. Werewolves definately would run Lovett's shop rampant.

I love Sondheim's work, but his Sweeney Todd is the best slice of pie.

With that in order, I think I'll order Fop. Not too mealy, or too good, and has some good breeding...

Mithalwen's deserves a mention:

Because, it is very good and I agree with it - regardless of whether it refers to some absent 'downers or 'downers who refuse to announce themselves as Fenrises...

Blade Runner is a very good film - one of the really "classic era of film S&F". Indeed, more of these films from 80's (+- a year or two) are very nice to watch and also they are the few that I like(d??? I can't remember when I was watching something lately) to watch again... you don't see films like that anymore, I just cannot develop the right taste for them. Just see the poetics of the quote! Reminds me of the strange era of my life, when I was watching Alien/Aliens so often... there was just something about this remoteness and tiny pieces of human industry on the edges of the dark space... but I think that's long past and I am somewhere else now... strange.

Maybe they just don't want to be assosiated with the american neo-nazi movement.
