No, I think it best that young whazzitsname keep at the job until it is completed. Then perhaps he should start over just to be sure of the sum. Yes, I think that would be prudent.

willbell Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Lars My next house is going to be a log cabin. Never have to remodel a log cabin. Or at least, when you do, you get to do it with a chainsaw, which, at this point, would suit my mood just fine. QUOTE] Lars, how hard can it be to pull the other half up and put it on blocks?

Boo Radley Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yeah, and that's the last time I get drunk and party with a bunch of frisky laundressess...laundress...women who do laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo, as a general rule you can't assume that women who carry bags of clothes around are laundresses. This is especially true if the bags are plastic garbage sacks they wheel around in grocery carts.

Originally posted by 37mm: it includes more leather than rleete has in his basement/dungeon Nonsense. Rleete is, as they say, a 'pillar of the community'. In his case, this means that he's rather like a bit of facade whose only purpose is to appear solid and bear up dead weight, although for all practical purposes he's probably ornamental and serves no actual purpose at all. Besides which, I doubt that Roger's wife would allow him to have a basement filled with such stuff. He keeps it in a private locker in the basement of the local lodge he belongs to.

Noba. Presidential Election cancelled. That was just horrible. And the annoying little face at the bottom didn't help matters. Keep it up and you might just find yourself some morning, waking up with a horrible headache, your mouth tasting like Grendel's underpants (I know, so far nothing's out of the ordinary), duct tape residue around your wrists and ankles (still normal), but as you look around, you see all your worldy possesions (both shoeboxes!) along with yourself are residing under a sign that proclaims: Welcome To Tasmania! Yes, you've finally become even too annoying for Australia. And they said it could never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Originally posted by 37mm: The reason I wouldn’t multiply by six is partly for the reason that Michael said (except I don’t think a 4 or 5 legged fruit fly counts as an ‘amputee’ par say) and partly because the flies might have more than six legs.I anticipated that possibility. But since I am ever moved by compassion and a grand generosity of spirit (as behooves visiting royalty), and being concerned that you might strain your little mind if too many terms were added to the equation, I omitted to mention the part about the extra legs (which no doubt are the consequence of you clumsily spilling some of that dreadful stuff you drink into their cage or whatever it is you keep them in). You also misspelled 'per'. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 You also misspelled 'per'. I think 'par say' means I've digressed from my original point; but don’t we have a grammar grog to sort such things out? We should let him earn his pay for once.

I hope you enjoy your visit as much i enjoy reading 37mm incoherent whining about my supposed gaminess/unwillingness to attack. Pull that finger out of your nose lad it's disgusting. Try to understand ( 37mm not you friend Michael) with your inferior brain that not all of us like to see our tanks turn into little bonfires after the first turn. Back to you friend Michael, as Nidan1 is my teacherguy and I his squire, I have to listen to his senile self (who owns me a turn, but what else is new), so i will have to cause you more inconveniece. I'll try to come up with something creative, something different to spice up your life a bit. In the mean time you'll just have to wait. We'll be seeing each other soon friend Michael, Take care.

Nidan1 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Main Entry: per se Pronunciation: p&r-'sA, "per-; p&r-'sE Function: adverb Etymology: Latin, by, of, or in itself 1 : inherently, strictly, or by operation of statute, constitutional provision or doctrine, or case law <the transaction was illegal per se> —see also negligence per se at NEGLIGENCE nuisance per se at NUISANCE 2 : without proof of special damages or reference to extrinsic circumstances <defamatory statements that were actionable per se> —compare PER QUOD I hate to say it but Emrys is correct. In line with the context of your babblings the proper useage would have been per se . There is no usage in the English language, which I believe, you, 37mmare a native speaker of, for par se . Thus and correctly Grog Emrys is within his bounds to point out the error. Now go to your Liege, and request somew menial tasks to perform.
