Schadenfreude
N/A

Posted on 03/03/2005 10:23:50 AM PST by Right Wing It

I was unaware up until this point that there was a German word meaning "happiness at the misfortune of others" The Word is "SCHADENFREUDE". What makes it ironic is that it is the only national language in the world to have a word for such a subject. Who else thinks there should be an American word for this?

I had dog friends my whole life. My favorite was Snakesneer, (I couldn't say Shakespeare when I was two), he was my constant companion from two til six years of age. He was a German Shepherd size mix of God knows what. He got hit by a car. I gave the eulogy at his funeral.

Vorlon Poetry?

aside from Zen-oid musings, I'm pretty sure the Vorlon do not have poetry.

now, the VOGONS have poetry...

That HAD to be the worst song by them.

The boss I had at the time LOVED the song.
Guess what he just HAD to play all the time?

See, see the sharp sky
Marvel at its big chartreuse depths.
Tell me, Bill do you
Wonder why the roseanne barr ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel irritated.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your fuggleblinken facial growth
That looks like
A beer.
What's more, it knows
Your fecund potting shed
Smells of booger.
Everything under the big sharp sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm maggot-cheeses.
