Hi, GN! Welcome to Sherwood Forest. I mean, uhm, to L&G.

[Jan]

Bienvenu a L&G. Tout le monde est tres gentil, ici. Il y a plusieurs jeux. Pour commencer je suggere 'Word Associations'.
A la prochaine!

[Ken, Moderator]

Wow. A lot of Frenchies in the house this morning.

[Jan]

Oui, mais en Australie la nuit descend. Il est dix heures chez moi. Je vais au lit. A demain!

[Ken, Moderator]

A demain, ma petite. Et utilizez les italiques quand vous parlez en une langue foreign comme Française, non?

Maid Marian, the pleasure is all mine. Certainly a more entertaining reception than P & G.

(oh dear, this is going to degenerate...)

Alors, allons. On parole!

[M]

Maid Marian? When was the last time you saw a maid who needed to shave? Now that I think of it, I used to date a drama teacher who needed a shave (I figured it was because she was black Irish), and then there was the medical student who bleached her mustache.

ah, how daft of me. You meant M for Merry Men!

[M]

Or Merrie Melodies. I get no respect. When I die, they'll print my obituary in the Daily Laughs column.

[Jan]

Perhaps you should become a stand-up comedian...somebody give him a Mike!

[Jan]

Now he's knocked over his drink! Give him a Rag,lan, I mean, Jan.

[Scribble]

Young lady, it is waaaaaaay past your bedtime!

[Jan]

1. I'm not young, but thankyou.
2. It's not midnight yet.
3. Does G N stand for Go Now?
4. Must I?

[Scribble]

1. With pleasure.
2. Perth location, of course.
3. Gosh, No.
4. Ditto!

[M]

G N, what languages are you fluent in other than English, French, and German?

[Jan]

Arabic?

[Scribble]

لاهذا

Oh, M (sigh). As head of MI6, I thought Q would have at least explained Babelfish.

Jan...you've been checking book upload data, haven't you?

[M]

I always think of M as James Bond's boss, who has a great-looking secretary with a surprisingly American accent. When I was four years old, Dad took me to a drive-in theater to see Thunderball, still my favorite of the Bond movies. I've probably seen it ten times.

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

If GN is 11, he/she is an absolute prodigy. So I will ask.....GN, what does the series of statements at the top of your profile refer to? Some have thought the '11' refers to your age;-)

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

Oh!! You have changed it....so do you really reside in Egypt or was that a tease too?

[M]

Maybe he lives in Egypt, Texas.

[Ken, Moderator]

There's an Egypt, Maine. The Beans live there.

[M]

Would that be the descendents of Leon Leonwood?

[Ken, Moderator]

No. Carolyn Chute . Have no desire to read the book, trust me.

As for the name "Bean," it is endemic (pandemic? epidemic?) in Maine. Seriously. Check the mailboxes in any town. Beans know how to propagate.

I like Google translator better!

Welcome G N!!!... with no regard to your personal specifics...it appears you've arrived on planet L&G very well armed!
Be sure and check out all the secret places we've coded in here!

:-) Savvy

[Ken, Moderator]

Well-armed? Then (s)he hasn't read Hemingway's A Farewell To...," apparently.

[Savvy]

Oh and I forgot to tell you...

da dikkat edin bu konu üzerinde büyükleri söylediklerine ... Onlar bilge bilgeler olduğu bilinmektedir!

Savvy

[Ken, Moderator]

Oh, Lord. The Tower of Babel thread. What next? Four Riders of the Apocalypse?

[Jan]

Languages and Grammar!

a polyglot paradise.

Gabi wrote: "Weeere baa-aack!

Where is that cheeky boy! Welcome child, whatever your age."

otherwise occupied. Thank you :)

[Ken, Moderator]

I suspect GN is female and younger than me, if not young. Occupied with (or at least by) words.

Say what she will (and she won't), I guess I get to make the call. ;-)

[Ken, Moderator]

Such a hostess, that Gabi! I think I'm close to retirement.

[M]

I figure G N is some old professor who's been around the world and seen it all--"seen the elephant and heard the lion roar," as folks around here say, though with a slightly different implication.

[Scribble]

Gabi wrote: "We are here to delight you only!"

Yes, you do, and yourselves, as well :), happily so.

I'm not going to 'fess up, deny being someone's old professor, or anyone else's grandchild. If you want to know my gender, read Chapter 1 in my writing.

I need some time sticky-beaking (jan, gabi flag the idiom) around your threads, to see whether I can devise something of interest for you.

til then, it's back to quantum physics.

[M]

Is it true that quantum ducks go quark, quark?

[Ruth]

Ha!

[Scribble]

aardvark

[Ken, Moderator]

What sound does an aardvark make?

[Ruth]

A very aad sound.

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

Nono! Vaaaarkkk!

[Carol]

Is aardvark a new member. He sure speaks volumes. If not he should be our new logo. LOL

[Ken, Moderator]

Language Aardvarks and Grammar Zebras.

[M]

Do earth pigs live in New Zealand?

[Ruth]

Earth pigs are all over. Look around you.

[M]

What will they make shoe polish out of when kiwis become extinct?
