Ricky,
How many tranquilizeds did you have to give the cat to get it to stay on the Roomba?

P.S. That made me smile AND chuckle!

Me?? Drug a cat?? Never!!!

And now .... presenting the "frounds of jam"!!

i love that site.

the "frounds of jam" sounds like some sort of weird mystico-mythical animal guarding a treasure or a king (or the king's marmelade).

Or his royal paper shredder.

I was thinking the same thing .... that, and maybe a lost line from Jabberwocky. You know ...

The claws that catch,
The frounds of jam ....

Will you have some frounds with your jam?? Perhaps some slythie toves? Or a scone and some preserves??

zelda_pinwheel · 11-21-2008, 04:12 PM

i'll have some frounds and a slythie tove (or two if they're smallish). no spam please.

Just curious (she said, passing two frounds and one slythie tove ... no spam ... over to her friend), do French people generally make up nonsensical words, in French, I mean ... or is that a peculiarly English phenomenon??

zelda_pinwheel · 11-21-2008, 04:24 PM

it really depends on the french person. much, i think, the way it depends on the english person. most of the people i frequent make up words regularly, in one language or another. sometimes french people make up words in english : those are *really* funny.

you can see some french mozzles from long before the word "mozzle" was mozzled in the scribblings thread ; i found them in an old notebook.

Good to know. I got the impression (from somewhere, not from you) that the French were really big on preserving the French language (of course, trying to "preserve" a language is like trying to preserve a human being ... you end up with something that is dead and dry).
