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?

Okay ~ you're right!
Enough with the outrageous animal pics ....
How about a few botanical instead?
like this Magnolia seed
... or this pepper plant
which is native to Texas and Louisiana and yields a ... 
'bumper' crop!

You're right! Clamaphant is its nickname and people like to ride them because they're close to the ground and easy to get off. ;-)

yet despite that, Laura still feeds you. And she does that even though he says "L'amour was dull!"
So many responses came to mind: "Whose fault is that?" "Is this a new problem?" "Which wife?" "Maybe you need a book." etc.

Only he would process them (pickle?) and give them out in jars.
