Oh, and btw, it seems German had Email before English ever did.

RegDwigнt

Yeah tell that to the OVER 9000% Germans who still can't spell it.

eMail? E-Mail? e-Mail? Emaille? Fick die Scheiße.

Robusto

Emailwaren = enamel products. Something I learned decades before we ever had email, and forgot once I started using regular, modern email.

Actually, I had forgotten it long before electronic email.

We discussed enamel?

But we have perverted and corrupted Russia! No more Lenin.

RegDwigнt

If streets in America can still be named after people who tortured slaves for a living, then certainly streets in Russia can be named after, well, a city.

@Robusto it is not the same. Which is why I said also. Look it up in a dictionary.

Robusto

Check out the champions of the FIFI World Cup. More proof that we Americans let our women do our fighting for us.

RegDwigнt

Yeah no shit, right.

Meanwhile your "men" deflate their "balls".

OK, someone is telling me su is a possessive adjective in Spanish. Am I crazy? I thought it would be a possessive pronoun, like her/his/its in English.

@RegDwigнt We used to have a Stalinlaan in Amsterdam, I believe.

@Robusto yeah no you're not fooling anyone on this site with trick questions like that. You can call first an "adjective", or you can call it a "determiner", or you can call it "past indefinite future aorist", or you can call it "Susan", every normal person just uses it and does not give a flying brick.

Cerberus

It was renamed the Vrijdheidslaan after the Hungarian invasion.

Robusto

Fine, I'll call it Susan then.

RegDwigнt

@Robusto excellent. Now please enjoy this sound of me not giving a flying brick.

Cerberus

@Robusto Those are the same thing, depending on your terminology.

@Cerberus Moscow has some strange streets named after obscure British (I think?) officers nobody at all has ever heard before.

Robusto

@RegDwigнt You're so full of animus today. I guess you're feeling quite yourself.

RegDwigнt

And nobody at all could tell from the street's name that it's named after something British.

Cerberus

@Robusto But some people say your is a possessive adjective, yours a possessive pronoun (because it replaces a noun).

Robusto

@Cerberus Yeah. Funny, I had never thought of her as an adjective.

RegDwigнt

@Robusto you're so full of serious today I guess you're feeling quite Batman.

@Cerberus ha, that's a good question. I never looked up which period it was even from.

Robusto

Let's not say things we can't take back.

RegDwigнt

Come to think of it, I am not even sure it was an officer. Might as well have been a city.

Hm.

And the thing is, the last time I read about it was like literally ten days ago. And I don't remember shit.

Cerberus

Was it "London Street"?

YES!

I think that may be a city.

Or "Duke of Wellington Street"?

Max Schmeling

Maximillian Adolph Otto Siegfried "Max" Schmeling (September 28, 1905 – February 2, 2005) was a German boxer who was heavyweight champion of the world between 1930 and 1932. His two fights with Joe Louis in 1936 and 1938 were worldwide cultural events because of their national associations. Starting his professional career in 1924, Schmeling came to the United States in 1928 and, after a ninth-round technical knockout of Johnny Risko, became a sensation. He became the first to win the heavyweight championship (at that time vacant) by disqualification in 1930, after opponent Jack Sharkey knocked...

No. It doesn't work the other way.

Ugly skyscrapers is a pleonasm.

True!

Chicago is special.

Cerberus

I read that as Carthago.

Which I feel neutral about.

Robusto

12:08 PM

OK, Cato.

RegDwigнt

And he would show Cerberus a picture of a skyscraper, and tell him here, behold, a beautiful skyscraper. And Cerberus would go ewww and barf. And then eight months later they would both forget.

BUT I REMEMBARRR.

Robusto

No no no, penury is an injury to the male member.

But cynics lived in poverty, and cynic means dog-like.

And now people are showing up for work, destroying the pristine silence of an empty office. How dare they?

Cerberus

Du Schatz, was meintest du dann?

RegDwigнt

Put on some Motörhead.

That will teach them the value of pristine silence.

The Flying Dutchman (opera)

Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman), WWV 63, is a German-language opera, with libretto and music by Richard Wagner. Wagner claimed in his 1870 autobiography Mein Leben that he had been inspired to write the opera following a stormy sea crossing he made from Riga to London in July and August 1839. In his 1843 Autobiographic Sketch, Wagner acknowledged he had taken the story from Heinrich Heine's retelling of the legend in his 1833 satirical novel The Memoirs of Mister von Schnabelewopski (Aus den Memoiren des Herrn von Schnabelewopski). The central theme is redemption through love. Wagner...

OK, now do you get it?

Ah, the opera.

Flying, I thought I'd never learn that flying
I thought I'd spend my whole life trying
For flying is that ancient art of keeping one foot on the ground...

Lying, I thought I'd never keep from lying
I thought I'd lose it all by sighing
For lying is that ancient art of hiding words that will never be found

@Cerberus yeah pretty much yeah.

No wait. No.

RegDwigнt

Yeah. Pretty much the exact opposite. Yeah.

Cerberus

So an upside-down quiche?

@Cerberus Up is down. Black is white.

RegDwigнt

You got me confused there for a sec because the prototypical Flammkuchen is from Lorraine, just like the quiche. But it is not remotely the same thing.

Cerberus

If you cook it properly, a quiche shouldn't be black.

RegDwigнt

That's racist.

Cerberus

Thank you.

Robusto

What if you use black truffles?

Cerberus

12:26 PM

Then what is it?

RegDwigнt

You should be running for Pres of SoCarol.

Robusto

I dunno. But if you use plums, then I suppose it would be PflaumKuchen.

RegDwigнt

I hear they could use a new flag. With an all-white pizza on it.

Robusto

SoCarol is the Mexico of the Carolinas.

"Card holder" or "cardholder" ?

RegDwigнt

It does not matter.

What does matter, however, is the white space before the question mark.

There is no such thing in English, at all.

Only in French.

Robusto

And if we did use whitespace before punctuation, would that have helped Greece at all?

RegDwigнt

And if we did give Greece cardholders, would that have helped them?

Robusto

1:10 PM

No. The ATMs are closed.

RegDwigнt

My point. If you have no place to keep slipping your cards in, you suddenly need a cardholder.

They had lived for thirty years with their credit cards basically inside the ATMs 24/7.

This new situation is very difficult for them.

So they can sell them back to the British Museum.

But we've long lost our marbles. What now.

I mean their marbles. Theirs.

Robusto

I actually don't think the Elgin Marbles included capitals. I think it was just the frieze, maybe pedimentary sculptures. Been a long time since I viewed them.

RegDwigнt

Yeah, what with the losing them and all.

@M.A.Ramezani Easily impressed with the queues, or with the pushing?

@DamkerngT. Good evening!

M.A.Ramezani

@Cerberus The pushing.

Robusto

@DamkerngT. That's some stupid Skinny Superman. A poseur, nothing more.

Cerberus

@M.A.Ramezani It is impressive.

M.A.Ramezani

Morning/afternoon/evening BTW!

@DamkerngT. His eye laser thingy reminds me of strawberry juice.

Mitch

But strawberry juice doesn't have the same effect

@M.A.Ramezani Deadly strawberry juice!

Mitch

Unless you're allergic

M.A.Ramezani

@Mitch Getting people drunk? It does. . . It just needs some benzol.

Mitch

Benzol peroxide

M.A.Ramezani

Mouthwash?

Mitch

Benzoyl peroxide is good for facial blemishes (zits)

So no on the mouthwash

M.A.Ramezani

1:52 PM

Good for them.

@Mitch Dunno, I think there was a similar compound.

It's used as a mouthwash, and it kills fungus very effectively.

Mitch

Benzene? Also not recommended

M.A.Ramezani

No no, maybe it was a benzoid.

Mitch

benzoidberg!

M.A.Ramezani

Meh. As much as I love Germany and Germans, It wasn't a burger.

@Mitch Heh bad internet? Welcome to my world!

Mitch

It bears repeating

Robusto

Los tres usos.

Mitch

Your world is fairly pleasant. Does it have Nutella?

Robusto

Heh, and uso means "lie" in Japanese. The Bear is a Lie.

M.A.Ramezani

OK I totally can't speak German.

Robusto

What, totally? That's a lot of not speaking.

M.A.Ramezani

@Mitch It has big cockroaches and scorpions if you like.

Mitch

If the bear is a lie is the cake ok then?

My world has those too so no worse
