Cosi Fan Tutti

How many times do I have to tell you, it's Così fan tutte, not tutti. Big difference. If you hear someone say something disparaging about women, it's not the same as them saying something disparaging about the whole human race, right?

EDIT: wait a minute, I'm not sure it's you that I've corrected repeatedly over this. Well, it's still wrong, so don't do it again! Now I think it was you, and you're just doing this to get a rise out of me. Ah, the hell with it.

>>9ths was Dido and Aeneas by Purcell - his musical taste at least is not questionable!

Hee-hee. I knew I'd getcha with that one.

No, it wasn't me you repeatedly corrected, but it could have been. To my mortification (don't get excited, Adam) I had the wrong ending, Should have been tutte frutte.

Yes, gotme with that but . I didn't laugh, I swear. I just gave a scornful smile.

ND's:

The Digital Ornament of the Nibelung = The Ring of the Nibelung (Richard Wagner)

The Ring of the Nibelung was analog, not digital.

"Digital" --- from Latin digitus = 'finger'.

You are pretending to be as obtuse was I was pretending to be.

Fun, fun, fun until Daddy took the T-bird away!

Daddy: This thread is shut down!

I have this envy problem--I also imagine I have super powers

No, no Brant. That is not envy you feel but pride: pride that your cgnitive process works properly and not whimsically and frivolously to mock and demean the Good in art just to make people laugh. You rightly reverence the creator\producer above the banana peel!

Dammit. You made me pee in my pants again!

Dear Baal, thank you. You have given me the ultimate accolade for a satirist and it is priceless to me.

I am sending you a carton of Depends in hopes you will need them.

"Liberals, Conservatives, and Ridiculously Long Titles for Books" is referring to books promoted on Fox News that cram sentences into their titles.

"White House" is a literal translation of the title "Casablanca".

"The Unusual Bystanders" is a play on "The Usual Suspects".

"TMNT: The Leo Cipher" comes from the "The Davinci Code" (I'm a sucker for thrillers) and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", all four of whom are named after Renaissance artists.
