Have we scared our Chinese friends away?

I think one group of them has just finished a semester, as there was a bit of a run of 'how can I show my teacher the answers' comments - just before all of us had trouble accessing A2K.

Next term's coming up - and if the teacher liked our homework ...

I hope one or two or more will somehow be able to get computer access on their own (though I understand from some of Lord E's posts how difficult that will be) and come back and keep talking to us.

I do worry that some of them wouldn't have been able to retrieve their assignments during the downtime.

A swamp-dweller of Germanic extraction will bring bad luck.

Lucky numbers: 3 14 16 53 32 95 74 4

Dlowan, I agree with ehBeth, the semester (or whatever) is over, and it was right around our downtime.. though I did notice that a bunch of them got through when some of the rest of us didn't.

Ah, A2k, serious one post, crazy the next.

Yes...I wondered if they had finished their subject or semester etc.


Hadn't thought about the downtime particularly.



It's odd...it was kind of overwhelming, all those pleas for help, but now I sort of miss them.

I am still worried Gus ate them.



He's a dark capybara, that one.

If it starts up again, I so hope we conquer the Thousand Titles Help Me business. (Pdog doesn't have a CLUE what we are talking about, I bet.)

I didn't know anyone had fed him clues....I thought he lost his clues when his tail was docked?


But, why has he not one especially about this?

Imagine him, wrapped in dirty capybara pelts with cryptic characters writ in blood on the matted fur, crown of a mountain goat's skull with one broken horn tied on his head with curly christmas present ribbon, feet clad in salmon-colored topsiders, muttering to himself as he adds dry wood to the smoldering coals under the big stew pot -- "Szechuan? Or Cantonese?"

And later picking his teeth with the spiked hair of tokyo youth. Never one for consistency is Gustav.

Their introductory English course may have ended.

Because he has been absent from A2k duning much of the heaviest HELP ME posting... (I think).

(not a smegging clue have i...)

I was wondering why we even allow the Chinese on this site.

What have they ever done for us?

We do all this translating for those pricks and they offer nothing in return.

Good riddance, I say.

I Like Chinese
Monty Python

The world today seems absolutely crackers,
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese food.
The waiters never are rude.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

So I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

So, I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

All together.

[verse in Chinese]
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees...

Yeah, I guess the Chinese are cool.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know they invented chess?????

Lord have mercy, and I thought clowns were scary.

Indeed.

You speak sooth.





You're not a very digressive kind of person, are you Miller?

dlowan, I was thinking about you today on the golf course.

I replied to one thread about Western breakfast, and ever since then I have been getting spam about buying Chinese gold or some such thing.
