Potential Republican Crack-Up

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The slimy Bill Frist has changed his position to one of support for embryonic stem cell research on embryos that are supposedly going to be discarded anyway. That should make yoooooooooooooooou happy.

What's next in the "they're going to be killed anyway" category? Death row inmates?

[Monkey Face]

Well, Gang, my eyelids are trying to slam shut so I need to leave for the night.

[Monkey Face]

Er...this is a trick question, isn't it?

NOT! Actually, it was the piccie of you.

[King Prout]

nah - that's my Evil Twin: Captain Sarcastic, commander of the starship RKBA Mjolnir

Ah! Thanks for the correction.

Talking backwards difficult is.

There are web sites where you can order custom tee shirts and sweatshirts.

Heck, there are places where you can be your own company, and take "orders" to be sent to your "factory" which then ships the order to your customer.

The profit potential is clear, but as with all publishing, the hang-up is getting the marketing and recognition you need to make bigger bucks.

Some places even pay for ideas, but I have never been able to collect.

(If you order one for your sister, get one for 'Face, too, but don't say anything about it to her. We'll keep it a secret!)

They didn't have Life Flight where and when I had my accident, and very nearly didn't make it.

I had two accidents that should have been fatal, both in the 70's before EMS was invented. The first, I was a passenger in a car driven by my best friend, who hit a highway patrol car headon as he was responding to a scene. Both vehicles swerved left and the passenger sides hit.

The second one, a dump truck ran a red light and I hit it broadside in my VW bug. Without a seat belt, mind. If I hadn't been so short and so close to the steering wheel, I would have gone through the windshield. As it is, I ended up sitting on the passenger side of the car. The windshield shattered and fell in, on top of me.

Walked away from both, and developed an appreciation for seat belts, safety glass, and big cars.

Talking backwards difficult is.

Backwards talking exactly it is not. Different the sentence structure is, this engineer says. For the most part to the end the verb you shift.

Nothing, in Latin, this would be.

Interesting it is that intelligable it remains.

[Not A Snowbird]

My Latin forgotten have I.

[sionnsar]

I've forgotten your Latin too. Or rather mine. *\;-)

But it was an eye-opener to me that sentence structure, at least by English/German standards, wasn't all that important in Latin. And understanding why that was suddenly made Gaelic, which has a different structure from English (it sort of tends to lead off with the verb, or "helping verb" -- almost an inversion of Yoda-speak), a whole lot easier to grasp.

Night.

I vaguely remember that. The last time I took Latin I was 13 years old, so *ahem* I've probably forgotten alot over the years.

Alas, I'm not 13 any more. (Thank God!)

Yah, a lot can fade in a year or two. My one year of Latin ended... (running the numbers, age still in the double-digits)... 13 years ago. About 2 years before the Gaelic Years began.

[King Prout]

does it fit?

[Army Air Corps]

I kinda figured...

[tuliptree76]

Actually, I don't know. I had to do a search on who she is. I haven't watched or read anything that has to do with Lord of the Rings.

[Darksheare]

OKers.
Have pleasant dreams.
