Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

That cover is telling me "There is no story here. So look: Hot chick who's dangerous!"

 

The first part of that statement is the defining article.

 

This may well be true of the book in question, but "hot chick marketing" often cares not for relevance or quality of content.

I'm going to work in a few minutes. Within 48 hours I will have finished 3 shits --probably about 27 hours at the store. I don't know whether to be disguntled' date=' or happy that I have Monday off, and it is right around the corner![/quote']

 

That's a lot of crap in 27 hours!

Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

I've been humming an old folk song this morning:

 

Vem kan segla förutan vind

Vem kan ro utan åror

Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin

Utan att fälla tårar

 

Jag kan segla förutan vind

Jag kan ro utan åror

Men ej skiljas från vännen min

Utan att fälla tårar

 

I guess I'm in a slightly blue mood.

 

Translation, pls?

Who can sail without any wind? Who can row without oars? Who can leave his friend without shedding tears?

 

I can sail without any wind; I can row without oars. But not leave my friend without shedding tears.

 

Note that "vän" here is more of a sweetheart than a friend, and "skiljas" is more of going-separate-ways for-a-long-time than separation or divorce, as it's more commonly used today.

Who can sail away

With no wind, no oars, no tears

For one left ashore?

 

It is I who can

Sail with no wind, no oars, but

Not without weeping.

There are days when I wonder if anyone in this country even knows that we have a constitutionfrusty.gif

 

That's because there are those who know we have a constitution but would rather we didn't, and have been slowly working to make The People forget.

TV Commercial: "...An offshore island paradise."

 

Really? An offshore island? Is there some other kind of island of which I am unaware? :doi:

 

Yes. An island in a lake.

I'm in the process of optimizing the Arutz Sheva facebook account. One of the first steps: clean up an account that's been left fallow by the person who is theoretically watching it for a great many months. I logged on.... 15' date='632 unread emails. Facebook only lets you delete 20 at a time. 6,439 to go...[/quote']

You may be able to contact an admin to get them dumped all at once.
