Something about a goat?

The title of this thread is from a line in the video, "I don't care--Cheney, Neocons, Haliburton, Kock Brothers and Fox News!" of which I was reminded when I read someone else's recently posted thread.

Her aunt was born with the same dark auburn but it turned blond within the year, and her brothers were both born blond. Her father is an Objectivist, so her initials are A A.

Ted, where's my dalek (I know, it's a larval worm, but I have got fond of it)? And who is the cutie it has morphed into? She's a cute Irish chick my sister introduced me to last month.

That wasn't me on Wuthering Heights. I watched the movie and read the Cliff's Notes.

My current signature quote was from the immediately prior episode.

I have bookmarked this page but make no promises until I buy my fourth laptop.

Duels, as shown in this most commendable, funny, beautiful movie. Lol I suggested to a panel of Judges at a seminar that we should bring back dueling for divorces since it would do less damage to the marital financial estate and even less damage to the children. I engaged in a duel once. It didn't secure for me the object of my love. But it did scare off my rival. If you are willing to do the time, commit the crime.

Yeah, and he sucked her tit too at some point. But you have not explained your complaint nor provided some alternative value, puppy. Or is that pee pee?

Let me quote this gem, before it evaporates.

"Ubuntu" yigama wesiZulu! Gatling guns and the British square! trans: "Unbuntu" (i.e., "humanity") is a word of the Zulu language. Ted: This movement did start in Africa and I have been straining at the leash to use it as my operating system. I installed it today and it is amazing. Just like a Mac. No Windows hang ups and tracking to slow down your machine. Tons of apps, support, software. It is like Christmas! Adam It runs windows compatible software? I hate windows. I have a Mac which stays at home, and a PC which travels and which I use for Netflix, etc. I would consider trying a third operating system if it would support the programs I use. I am quite happy with Mac excpt for a very few things, and my windows 7 PC hasn't crashed since I bought it - although it tends to decide for me when I wish to do odd things like open a new web page when I accidentaly touch the mousepad in some way I have yet to figure out or be able to disable.

King Lear is in my top three with Shakespeare, who is by far the best writer of English as English who ever lived. Rand was wrong to malign him. I suspect she did not appreciate the beauty of his language in the original Klingon. Gulliver's Travels was obvious. This may because it was so successful, and so copied in subsequent fiction. Easy to read, something everyone should do once, like LSD. Grapes of Wrath I had to read for school as well. Also obvious as all socialist works are obvious. But well written. Certainly better than some of Steinbeck's other novels, which I have read and forgotten. I haven't read The Inferno for itself, but did read a rather interesting art book adaptation that cost $200 when it was published in the late 80's. It's another story that everyone knows like Homer, through adaptations even if they haven't read the original. Your mentioning it prompts me to add it to my library list. By Hemingway I have only read one short story in high school. I don't remember trhe title or what it was about. I remember not being lead to want to explore him further. Do you recommend any of the works, Phil? Were I in such a club, I would recommend: The White Plague, Frank Herbert Watership Down, Richard Adams Richard II Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell I, Claudius & Claudius the God, Robert Graves Oh, and I read that work by Kafka, then dropped the class for which I had read it at Rutgers. Tiresome crap.

How is this funny?

"Ubuntu" yigama wesiZulu!

Shayne, I have read this paragraph three times and I don't understand it. I don't mean in context, I know the context, but are you saying, "I have an original idea/theory, and as far as I know nobody else ever had it in the way I have it?" Just asking, Carol Without particularly meaning to be mean to Shayne, and not having read any of this thread except the last few posts, and not understanding the context at all, I have two comments: (1) Ellen Moore? and (2)

Dr Tom Stevens quotes Dr Tom Stevens, Objectivist Party Chair, in a post here http://drtomstevens.blogspot.com/2009/06/fawcetts-e-mail-reveals-ayn-rand-was.html at Dr Tom Stevens' blog. I wonder if they are related? Where is Roy Cohn when you need him?

I just tutored someone last night in linguistics. He had been studying the subject in Spanish, and the teacher gave phonetic examples only in Spanish. He could not understand the concept of a phoneme or differentiate sounds from letters. I began with the premise that unless he were provided with examples from another language that he would not be able to form the necessary concepts. I gave him examples from English, asking him how he would spell various English words using Spanish spelling, then asking him what the underlying sounds were regardless of the chosen spelling system. For example, "why" could, based on its sound, be spelled "juai" in Spanish, and would be transcribed phonetically as "hway". The session began with him telling me that he had only 45 minutes available. He kept saying over and over with the different topics we covered, "OH, that finally makes sense!" We arranged the various letters of the IPA in a chart somewhat like a periodic table, and he became quite adept at deciding where in the chart a letter would go once he grasped the underlying principles, even realizing the trick questions I posed to him. The session ended up running over a very productive 2 1/2 hours. He finished up by asking me if I would tutor him in his major, marketing. (Phonemes are meaningfully distinct sounds in a language. The letters th stand for two distinct sounds, those of thin and thick versus them and those. The "minimal pair" thy and thigh shows that this distinction is "phonemic". The IPA is the International Phonetic Alphabet, with unique signs assigned to uniquely defined sounds.)

Did you hear the one about the dyslexic? He walks into a bra . . .

I'll believe it when I see it also. I think there is one too many "T"'s or one too few "I"'s in your version though. Adam I'll Believe That When I See It
