Ask me. I'm only an illusion so you will get the answers you deserve for confusing the real with the imaginary. "I plucke up the goodlie greene herbes of sentences by pruning, eat them by reading, chawe them by musing, and laie them up at length in the hie seate of memorie by gathering them together; that I, having tasted the sweetenes, I may the lesse perceave the bitternes of this miserable life." - note written in Elizabeth I's copy of the Epistles of St Paul, August 1576 or after. Not known if the old prune wrote it herself.

    Three spirits will visit you before this night is o'er. Tiny Tim needs a new kidney, some leg braces, a whole bunch of orthodontic work, the latest Mortal Kombat update, and tickets to the Britney/Lindsay/Miley White Trash Sluts on Tour concert.

    sorry, bilby--my inquiries re: hyeonmi have been fruitless. the literal meaning is 'puffy rice', but I can't quite figure out a slangy direction from there. 'dwenjang', for example (lit. 'soybean paste') means 'golddigger' or 'high-maintenance girlfriend' idiomatically, so you can see the connections are quite abstruse.

    Hey, I'm not exactly sure what a nutloaf is -maybe there's an American equivalent I might be familiar with? If it's a meatloaf substitute you're in search of, I do have a pretty good "neatloaf" recipe from a Vegan Kids cookbook, and you can use it as leftover for sandwiches.

    I'm going to our local vegan fast food place tonight for the Philly "chick'n cheeze-steak" with vegenaise and a side of peanut oil fried fries. Nothing like really greasy, totally overpriced, vegan counter food when you're starving. :)

    storeen is the diminutive of stor (both o's have accents, but it's too early in the morning to mess with them on this tiny keyboard), the irish word for 'treasure', so 'mo storeen' means 'my little treasure'. bohreen is just a variant spelling of boreen, meaning a narrow road, or lane.

    If it helps with the census-taking, I'm 100% non-vegan, and 90% eggs and milk. I think a good chef ought to be able to satisfy vegetarian customers, although that's entirely the chef's prerogative. A chef may very well decide to exclude people who don't like his/her style of food: that's the nature of the restaurant business. People who don't like Indian food shouldn't go to Indian restaurants, people who don't like nudity should avoid nude beaches, and people who don't like meat should stay away from places with minimal or no veggie options. Isn't it obvious?
  • 9 months ago arcadia said:
    With all the recent vegan-esque entries, I'm lost as to who else is vegan around here now. Any hints?

    Oh yes, and I totally agree with your comment that it's BS when chefs make a big deal over cooking vegan meals. Sometimes I suspect omnivores just feel judged by the very existence of vegans and lash out accordingly, even if unprovoked.

    We appear to have had a HILARIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING, such as sometimes happens on the interwebs. Because, when I checked the location of the mysterious PO Box in question on google maps, and found it happened to be situated right at the intersection of FOX Crescent, I thought for sure you were just taking the mickey out of me. Because I am by nature suspicious.

    And so 'tis done. Elsie stays on in Madrid with the charming Alex, with whom she can practice her French. The other animals were placed in their new home this evening (with a little cache of Jelly Bellys as an incentive).

    The new foster parents expressed a little reluctance when it came to the less attractive animals, but were cooperative when I made it clear that it was an all-or- nothing deal.

    I just hope you won't torment yourself in later life about the unique opportunity that you missed. Right now you could be chowing down on your lambchop (well, I guess not a lambchop, maybe a yummy ratatouille) under the soothingly baleful glare of Melmoth.

    Dear Bilby:

    Boris has told me that he would be honored to be the subject of an entry in your wee poetry zine. He and I discussed potential choices of pseudonym - he favored Ern Malley, but I told him I thought that might already have been used.

    So I guess we should stick with my real name, or my blogger name.

    I guess we can discuss details of the extensive antipodean book tour later. Boris has a definite liking for Fancy Feast. Myself, not so much.

    ;-) Just want you to know that the new notification email shows a preview of one's comments.
    Take care. And in case you miss Italy, I'll be there for four months.

    Everything OK, bilby? You sound tense.

    Only two more dioramas to go, oh leather-eared one. Please start preparing yourself for the tapering off phase.

    I know, I'm sad too. But also kind of relieved.

    My bilbical friend, I added today's false friend since you haven't added one yet. No offense meant, I look forward to reading yours tomorrow.

    The animal confectionery dispensers are mounting the steps to the aeroplane, two by two, as they make their pooping way to the Iberian peninsula, to be picked up in the pooping pound at Barajas, mañana por la mañana. Oh, the fun we'll have! The places we can go! The imaginative combinations we can put together!

    Only one more day.

    Hello Bilby,
    I am in mid-Wales, Machynlleth. I used to live in Aberystwyth before - and in Cardiff.
    Have you been to Wales?

    Yes, there are dragons and goblins around. Diolch for your comment - yn hapus!

    You are in Argyll? Fantastic!

    Dear Bilby:

    I hope you understand the lengths to which we are prepared to go to keep you regaled with diorama hilarity each weekend. At this point a transatlantic team is working round the clock to ensure no interruption in the planned diorama appearance schedule. Herewith an excerpt from a communication from one of my crack stateside animal wranglers:

    a total of 5 animals and their poop bags have arrived. the *****'s packaging was damaged but he and his load, as it were, are fine, I've used some packing tape to secure him into his package. I've received my first pooping animal newsletter from this fine company and hope my clicking 'unsubscribe' did the trick. If I start getting animal sex spam, we'll know it's your fetish what done it, not the innocent vacas de Madrid.

    When she writes "your fetish", of course, we know that it's your fetish she is really referring to. I am just the middleman here.

    Warmly,

    zorrito

    Dear Bilby:

    Only one more day to go and, here at MOTP Diorama Central, preparations are really ramping up. I think you will find this week's diorama especially mooving.

    I'd say more, but the wranglers tell me that Elsie is acting up, and I am needed on set.

    Spirit Guide - I understand that this site is about sharing words, but the overall objective is unclear. I appreciate that a dictatorial usage policy on behalf of the site creators would reduce it's enjoyability but find the whole thing somewhat confusing. Do you just list words you like, or have something to say about? To what extent do people interact on here? Any general etiquette tips from the perspective of someone more familiar with 'flickr without the pictures' would be appreciated. I'm not so concerned with impressing people as not looking like a bozo.

    Do you want to be my imaginary friend/tour guide?
    I'm not really sure I understand this site. It's interesting though. I feel like my brain is atrophying less than usual.

    Dos bilbís entraron en un bar y pidieron un mojito.
    El barista les contestó: "Lo siento. Estamos en un bar y no en un bandicuterie".
    Y los echó el gorila.

    Pero después le echaron de menos al barista, porque eran unos bilbís muy monos.

    I realized that a bit later. Still learning the ropes around here and trying not to drown in this logophilic wellspring. I'm guessing now that you're Aussie? Anyhow, it's a pleasure to make your cybernetic acquaintance.
