@DamkerngT. It can be fully a verb. Are you going to stuff the turkey?

No, I feel sorry for the turkey!

:D

Hehe.

Besides, the white meat always dries out if you actually stuff the turkey for roasting.

I do occasionally stuff pork chops though.

This reminds me of ZZ's question (the "for" one).

@snailboat Thank you :) I had never heard of complex-transitive or resultative AdjP. you made it very clear. Once I thought "Stuffed full of" is a pharsal verb or an idiom.

I think fill is a good stand-in for stuff. I believe that you're more familiar with fill.

Yes

A pan filled full of corn was in the kitchen.

I didn't invent the noun phrase myself.

I see. That's possible. :)

@DamkerngT. That was a good example. I think emphatic phrases are a little tricky to analyze.

This one is a bit funny...

> She is so filled full of wine she can barely stand, ...

Heehee. I think it was funny because she must have had lots of wine!

Change wine to some food, and I think we can use stuffed in place of filled there.

@DamkerngT. then wouldn't it imply that she was forced to eat.

No, I think she didn't have to.

Or chocolates!

nom nom

with pleasure :-)

I see.

I had misinterpreted it.

Speaking of something old, do people still interject Bah!?

@GATA It probably says something about the overindulgence of the typical American, but "I'm stuffed!" is a very common thing to say, especially after a special dinner.

I couldn't find Mwahaha! in dictionaries!

I say Bah! I write it too! I've probably used it more days than not.

Hah! That's nice to know. Thank you both of you.

@Jolenealaska Thanks :) I will insert that as an example into my new words list.

I found Mwah as the sound of a kiss.

Not a real kiss i think.

Interesting. I couldn't categorize the types of kisses.

But definitely not a french kiss.

:) I am not a expert either.

Usually I hear Mwah in movies when girls kiss each other remotely.

Apparently, someone can write a whole book about kisses.

@GATA Ah, yes. -- nods

Rating 4.67!

It's rare to find anything above 4.3 on Goodreads!

Must be really useful :)

Must be. It must be so! -- Should I buy one? :)

:D

Speaking of stuffed, I made the most awesome brownies this weekend. I have eaten waaaay to much chocolate today. I had better give some of these away soon. I think I could eat the whole batch if I kept it around. These are good brownies.

It would be nice, if you could throw some of the brownies around the globe with them landed in front of my house. They sure sound delicious!

three different kinds of chocolate...Cook's Illustrated Chewy Brownie recipe...YUM!

I bought 6 ice-cream yesterday, I ate all of them now I am ice-cream-less :(

Hah! All six of them?

6 ice cream? Six pints? Six scoops?

Six cups, maybe.

6 ice cream sandwiches?

cup? It was on a wooden stick.

Oh, six sticks!

Ah six POPS!

we call them pop?

I usually picked the cups instead of the pops (or sticks).

That's a regional thing. Bars or pops.

thanks.

@snailboat Thank you for suggestion :)

It's like carbonated beverages...

Pops if you're from Iowa!

Oh, its URL is not friendly enough.

I think bars are more common (according to Google images)

Yes, I think bars is more common for ice cream. Soda is more interesting:

And also according to label on the ice-cream warp in the bin its call Stickbar. (I washed my hands)

What about cones?

I've never heard "stickbar".

Cones are different.

The brand Drumsticks might be cones, but usually that's only if you go somewhere and they they scoop it into a cone (or serve soft-serve)

Ice cream comes in different forms and flavors.

sorry for the quality.

I've never seen that :)

The only cone I've seen that you buy like that is this brand:

I found HAAGEN-DAZ Cookies & Cream Stick Bar! -- milestonemart.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/index/…

I got hungry. I think I need to go out and buy another pack :)

@Jolenealaska I found some picture showing Kit Kat's ice creams too!

Heehee. :D

This is what we would typically call a bar (or Pop in some places):

Talking about ice cream might not be a good idea. :-)

:)

Magnum! I think it must be Wall's.

We call the magnum too.

Those are the best :)

Indeed :)

Damn! The news just announced that they still can't find the plane! They've covered almost all of the expected search area - still no plane!

I didn't follow up that news lately. So, they still can't find it?!

And they're flummoxed. They've looked where they expected to find it. It's not there.

That's really strange.

I thought they could pinpoint the location already.

So did they.

Some says it was planned. mostly in commenting section of websites.

You mean that the disappearance was a conspiracy? Or that the search is being intentionally ineffective?

first one :)

It sounds silly but that's what they say. every one wants to tell a story that satisfy its mind.

Hmmph. The Boston Marathon is today. I spent a lot of time on the IMDb politics board around the time of the bombing last year. I wanted to crack the heads together of the idiots that said it was all a fake, the "injured" and "dead" were actors.

It was one year already?

lol that's beyond my imaginations capabilities.

Oh, indeed. Time indeed flies.

And it hit a lot of us hard. The idiots were being very insensitive.

Yeah, some people insist that we've never landed on the moon and 911 was an inside job.

Hmph!

Is this a clue?

I think KCH and Josh61 said the same thing.

So I don't know what the disagreement was about.

I think the downvoter is just wrong. Actually, "the man from Africa" is a pretty good way to put it.

And I don't why KCH had to say this:

What did he mean by that?

Btw, I got an odd comment from this userlotsanumber.

I don't know why "finally" was necessary.

In fact, I don't know why the comment was necessary at all. :-)

@snailboat Would it be fine if I edit my question and include your answer about stuff?

Ah, I see. I think I did it instinctively.

The OP can answer their own questions too. It's okay.

@snailboat Oh OK. Thanks.

It's more than OK, it's encouraged.

thanks :)

Ah, yes. I think I've read that too.

Although, some people don't realize that and it pisses them off.

Then the mods come in.

And set them straight.

More news - The crew of the ferry, including the Captain, are in police custody.

The Korean ferry?

Yep

They've been arrested.

I see. Thanks. I think that's the way it ought to be.

(Don't know why my fingers typed that s.)

Back to the "from" question, I think it's really odd. It seems like everyone agrees with everyone else. Why the arguments (and downvotes)?

I wonder if Korea has a separate maritime law. In some countries it's quasi-military. Different rules than civilian courts. ----- I think someone is just reading it wrong. The "man from Africa" line puts it perfectly.

nods for the 'man from Africa'

I don't know much about Korea's maritime laws.

There are a few users here who will stand by wrong ideas until they're blue in the face.

Hehe.

It seems that the Italian captain is facing a normal civilian court. He is looking at 30-some-odd charges of manslaughter.

Oh!

@snailboat It was your effort. Would you please do it yourself. I don't feel good about harvesting others points. just copy-paste it.

So, if that's a precedent (which, being a different country, it really isn't) the captain of the ferry could be looking at life in prison.

nods

@snailboat its perfect already :)

It seems like snailboat is busy with something else. Maybe for a while.

I will wait :) i don't know why it didn't occur to me to say it earlier. I completely forgot about it.

But I have a hunch that snailboat wouldn't mind if you wrote an answer based on that message.

:)

I am sure :) I just don't want to look selfish.

One more comment on the shipwrecks: (from Wiki)

Abandoning a ship in distress may be considered a crime that can lead to imprisonment. Hence, Captain Francesco Schettino, who left his ship in the midst of the Costa Concordia disaster, was not only widely reviled for his action, but was arrested by Italian authorities on criminal charges.

] Abandoning ship is a maritime crime that has been on the books for centuries in Spain, Greece and Italy.[3] It appears South Korean law may also require the captain to rescue himself last.[4]

In the United States, it is not explicitly illegal, but the captain could be charged with other crimes, such as manslaughter. It is also not illegal under international maritime law.[5]

Thanks. :D

I do apologize for troubling you again with my endless questions.

Have fun guys. Cya later! :)

@Jolenealaska Cya :)

See you soon!

I just saw this. The headmaster of the school of the kids that died in the ferry was among the rescued. He has killed himself, wracked with survivor's guilt. The Vice Headmaster's body has been recovered, he died on the ferry. I'm betting the captain will kill himself too. He has issued an apology, and it sounds pretty suicidal.

It might be just me, but I think I won't be seeing Judy until ... and I won't see Judy until ... have a little different meanings.
