Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[nekokami]

Makes me wish I believed in that neo-pagan "everything you do comes back to you three times" stuff.

Sleepy. Going to read for a bit (not MR or other online stuff) and get some sleep. (An hour less of it tonight....)

Me too ... eyes are getting itchy.

G'nite everyone

...

My sister just moved to a little town inland from me. Here's a list of some of (most of) the street names in the town:

Prince Street
Princess Street
Mary Street
Queen Street
Victoria Street
Ann Street
Elizabeth Street
Alexandra Street
Royal Court
James Street
Edward Street
Charles Street
George Street
William Street
Albert Street
Henry Street
King Street

There's somewhat of a pattern in there, hey?

Sure am. I hope he likes books!

Cheers,

I just submitted my latest work to DA. I'll be "emulating" it in just a few.

PS. I was born in Newcastle, but I'm not a Geordie (thus my sometime previous mention of being "Novacastrian" which, of course, no-one will remember)

Cheers,
Marc (my dad was born in Streatly, Berkshire...the one over there)

Google harder, funny-boy. One google-hit is a data point; not a conclusion.

Spring? March? Cyclone season? The spawning of the snark?

Putting this temporarily aside...

That my malignancy would cause you both shock and horror is significant cause, no matter the origin or lack of historical precedent, for me to offer the most humble of apologies, and a profusive desire that this sudden trauma, this sense that the abominable has been uttered, given rise to by the season, whatever season that may be, will fail to tarry more than a wee bit and perhaps a tad less, thus leading you into your previously relaxed state of inurement.

Cheers,
Marc

I am truly, utterly, without question and without malice of any kind or blue, totally unable to seasonably enquire as to the obvious nature of my desirable condition within this or any other incomplete state of accurate incomprehension; thus to do so, or otherwise, would totally render me, and also another, without any part or position, herewith....

To quote, or rather paraphrase the master...

"There is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the second of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated and the intent, insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated, is such as to cause epistemological problems, of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear."

A position in cabinet for the first person who names this master without googling.
