Steve E Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Congratulations, Thoth, on your 500th post! You're an example to us all. M You're too kind. But a good example or a bad example? Plutarch wrote about the helots (serfs of ancient Sparta) who were forced to drink wine by the Spartan women until they were drunk, and then led/whipped into public so the Spartan children would see them and learn not to be drunk in public. Thus the helots served productively as a bad example. (They were also made to dance and sing silly songs for the children who threw stones at them.) So bad examples can be good too. Incidentally, the helots revolted against the Spartans in the 5th cantury BC, slaughtering, in particular, many of the Spartan children. And now for something completely different: Anybody else notice that the Milestones thread has reached four (count 'em) four pages? Admiring the quick observational wit of Lady M, -Thoth.

An interesting observation, four pages. I reminds me of the great destroyer, Geegalbrax Foor, who said, "Ix tur brantbrant al hoo vas dada hasa gogo ena foo gana wasa." Roughly translated, "As I stand on the crushed skulls of my conquest, I recall my father's most frequent advice: any example is better than no example." Of course, it sounds better in the original Crasnxixix. IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only a passing familiarity with rumors of the resonances of Fupsnot, but if it's anything like Knipsnat, tertiary counsel to the manager of Tsootsoo's bar on Vltsa IV, you will recognize the vibrations of his sometimes concubine, Rx, "^^v^vvvv^vv^vvv^^vv^^v^^^vvvv^.v^^^^^^vv^vv^vvvvvvvvv."

Only the Holzobagrastafafhagoogian children really know for sure. Contrarily the Eh of SwingBatterBatterBatterSwingBatterBatterSwing argue quite elegantly that all the missing hours, and, bafflingly, all the missing socks containing one or more holes (and isomorphs thereof), throughout all of time and space, are accumulated in the bladders of their elderly. The video documentation of their Cosmic Urination Day Celebration* seems to bear them out. *Citation: The Neverending Source Book of Dubious Celebrations & Festivals; Volume Persimmon-Hedgehog 19.

Steve E Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Perhaps the answer can be found on Frank's 2000-inch TV (...and I'm mighty proud to say, now I can watch the Simpson's from 30 blocks away-yay...)
