I been on a little hiatus, and it seems I've missed a lot of posts and ripostes. Fact is, the missus decided yesterday was the proper time for a little reorganization of the household, and I was required to pitch in. So while she got on with dusting, vacuuming, waxing floors and other simple crap, I undertook the herculean task of rearranging my email address book. Sheesh! .... what a monumental pain in the arse! Where do all those flippin' addresses come from anyhow? One jerk, whose name is "unsubscribe", must have at least 50 addresses and everyone of 'em was in my book. In the end, I just deleted the whole lot.
Now I've got to go thru 1,096 entries posted to A2K since I last visited yesterday noon. No bloody rest for the weary, is there?
I hope you find much to enjoy!!!!!
Had you had the courtoisie, M. Debacle, to have helped us to solve the woodchucking dilemna, you might have had the invaluable assistance of marmota monax with your address book . . . you have no one to blame but yourself . . .
Courtoises? Are those turtles of a particularly hearty disposition, or a stately demeanoured variety?
Courtoisie, le maniere des membres d'un cour, se bien conduire
Cela est vrai, et il est démontré que les choses ne peuvent être autrement; car tout étant fait pour une fin, tout est nécessairement pour la meilleure fin. Remarquez bien que les nez ont été faits pour porter des lunettes, aussi avons-nous des lunettes; les jambes sont visiblement instituées pour être chaussées, et nous avons des chausses; les pierres ont été formées pour être taillées et pour en faire des châteaux, aussi monsigneur a un très beau château; le plus grand baron de la province doit être le mieux logé; et les cochons étant faits pour être mangés, nous mangeons du porc toute l'année: par conséquent ceux qui ont avancé que tout est bien, ont dit une sottise; il fallait dire que tout est au mieux.
Smartarses - however, we peasants who speak no French, also have our tricks!
That is true, and it is shown that the things cannot be differently;
because all being made for an end, all is necessarily for the best
end. Notice well that the noses were made to carry glasses, also have
us glasses; the legs are obviously instituted to be fitted, and we
have fit; the stones were formed to be cut and to make castles of
them, also monsignor has a very beautiful castle; the largest baron of
the province must be placed best; and the pigs being made to be eaten,
we eat pig all the year: consequently those which have advanced that
all is well, said a stupidity; it had to be said that all is as well
as possible.
thanks deb, i thought debacle was explaining what a hiatus was, and why he's on one. do they run away?
I believe one is more prone to fall into one, than run away on one... and they make a nasty hernia.
Smartarse, is it? You are Aussi, I think. All I was trying to do was to speak candidely.
