An "Ask Auntie Lowan" Digression.

Well, this certainly is a digression thread.

You know, Dlowan, that was actually quite amusing.

I actually chuckled.

errrrrr, yes?

OK....

He/she's written this everywhere... perhaps it be the second coming!

i'm digressing as madly as i can, but i'm awfully tired.

Hilarious. A Sigmund-friendly digression if ever I saw one.

I think that your man, Mr. Magoo, prefers strange quotes from nobodys in the complete wrong place, to try to brainwash us. He's a cult leader out in Gibraltar.

e.g. In a question about cricket

'Oh yes, they had Christmas trees in the desert'
'Read, read, my luscious neck
And over it attack as I
Through some unsounding rhythm
ththyfeihuhedyrtyh.'

YOU'RE being too nice secretmadman? Hmmm...

Walter falters in halter, in Gibralter.





psssssst, cav, we're here to digress. don't make me stay on topic!

I believe Secretmadman simply came here to treat us all to its charm.

Glad to see the girl . . .

Seems being mad isn't so secret anymore.

Hey, Setanta, that's a hell of an avatar.

Yeah, i'm awearin' it so's somebody else here can copy an it use hisself . . . then i will revert to one of my more familiar canine images . . .

Is it at all safe to assume that secretmadman is speaking a language intelligible to at least some of you? I fear my own schooling has not been esoteric enough to encompass the significance of any of this. Ignoring, for the nonce, the nonsequitorial aspects of the posts, I am totally fascinated by the linguistics. I am also reminded that back in the 1970s certain 'underground' newspapers published by the semi-literate of Haight-Ashbury on the one Coast and the East Village on the other would delight in masking their ignorance of standard grammar by telescoping words and phrases, so that it sounded 'hip' while remaining obscure. I wonder whether what we have here might be a Rip vanWinkle of hippy times, still trying to sway the hearts and minds of the multitude towards an acceptance of a Weatherman ideal?

Could be, Merry Andrew, but he called us all dicks, which leaves out many fine vaginas present on this forum. Also, them's fightin' words, if I remember my vernacular....

Everyone here is a furry socker except me. Ah well, hat shippins.

huh??

I think I lost the plot somewhere?????????!!!!!!!!

Heh! Heh!..Margo, I was just giving a demo of my version of esoteric language which one may use when following other arcane stuff such as secretmadman has written in the style of economists.

Geddit?
