Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
See.... that was funny!
frood = Really amazingly together guy
That'll work!!
Don't you love a game you can master right away?
Um... what is 6x9?
I keep tellin' ya that we know the question in Texas! But, ya'll don't take me seriously! :-)
Far too intense. I have more action items that can be done in the time alloted. Something will fail to happen. I just don't know which thing yet.
Yes!!! Did you figure out mine? hahaha
"Define "traditional Arthur", please!"
I was hoping if it put it that way I could avoid having to define it :) I think of the traditional Arthur as everything from Marie de France, Yvain, and "Sir Gawain" up to Mallory. Non-traditional Arthur would be stuff that adds to the "Mallorian" tradition or departs from it significantly. In other words, did the film do something equivalent to "Troy" taking the gods out of Homer?--I guess that's what my fear is of seeing it.
On Arthur being Roman-Briton, the most convincing historical argument I've read so far (and I'm no expert on this) is Geoffrey Ashe's argument that Geoffrey of Monmouth's account of Arthur is based on one Riothamus, a British king who led an army into Gaul c. 469-470.
Saxons at Hadrian's Wall, eh? :) Well, hopefully they didn't cut out Merlin's final scene with the Scouring of the Shire or anything :)
"I feel pwetty and witty and....oh whatever..."
LOL!
So, did you clue the meeting in to this? Or are you gonna let 'em be surprised? :-)
You did NOT just say that. No way.
Nah, don't blame yourself. We wuz all steppin' on a lot of toes today.
what is that a picture of????
I was thinkin' that but didn't want to say it and contribute to corruption.
No, they all still have to happen. There's no such thing as being too busy to take on new projects. Saying "no" is worse than saying "yes" and not getting it done...
I prefer the reconstructive history type stories. Not that I've found the perfect one yet. Keep certain elements - Excaliber, the round table, the knights (some of them; Lancelot's right out but Gawain, Gareth, Cai, Bors, Rhys Bedwyr, etcetera are more fun anyway) but don't make it high middle ages. It's the opening of the dark ages, fer cryin' out loud.
On a skateboard, even! That could give the kiddies nightmares!!
I couldn't find the movie shot. It's a stage production of "Fiddler on the Roof"
Hair knows what song they're singing...
"People don't think I'm funny in rl, either. I've got to develop a real sense of humor. See?"
If I didn't think you had a sense of humor I wouldn't have pinged you to the Monty Python thread earlier today :) You're plenty funny when you relax and let your brain play. A key to humor is to just let yourself go with spontaneous associations without worrying about whether anyone thinks they're funny or not. Watch any successful stand-up comedian and they do this. End of SNL pep talk :)
"I know in my heart that I am funny."--"Good Morning Vietnam"
Yes, we were. And while RL was mostly good, I'm still inordinately depressed, and it's late, so I'd better go to bed - I've had to restrain myself three times already from saying something nasty to people who seriously don't deserve it.
Honestly, I know I was bad today, but you should see what I managed to censor.
