• 5 days ago, ruzuzu said: Correlation... is not... causation? But that would mean I've committed a non sequitur fallacy--specifically the fallacy of false Claus. (Sniffles, begins to fall into a heap of cognitive dissonance.)
  
  But wait--it would make sense for Santa to be a statistician. Maybe you're just saying that stuff so people don't find out the secret location of The Workshop. I get it now! I won't tell anyone, I promise, Santa Fox! Ooops. I mean I won't tell anyone, "sionnach." (Winks.)
• 5 days ago, ruzuzu said: I am now convinced for all time that Santa's Workshop is in Gibraltar.

  Speaking of lists, and checking them twice.... I wish it were easier to search for list names these days. (I just found your lovely list of capitonyms.)

  Just looking at this site hurts my soul so I don't know if I'll be around for long. In the past week I've got used to the unWordie reality of my life.

• about 2 months ago, bilby said: Are you, sir, familiar with fugazzetta? Tonight I was watching a movie set in BA and this word came up. The little boy wanted to have some and the grandmother, his guardian, said she didn't want to smell like onions. That's all I know.
• about 2 months ago, madmouth said: thank you, sir. the final -m got the Google back in action, and it's a Dubliners coinage, from the looks of it.
• about 2 months ago, madmouth said: you'd know, I warrant. I heard a word on a Dubliners track that sounds like 'falooran' or 'felorrin', meaning 'masculine virility' (re: old man a young woman has married out of necessity, "He's got no feloorin" so then she sleeps with this handsome young man). Google, however, is convinced it doesn't exist. you know what this word is?
• about 2 months ago, frogapplause said: I loved your Empanada Semiotics post. What filling is inside the two round ones?
• about 2 months ago, hernesheir said: I referred to a Dublin Coddle recipe some months ago wondering if you were the person who posted the recipe under a different "handle" on the (largely) Irish tune site The Session. I inquired because your breadth of knowledge, turn of phrase, but especially your posted wit and sense of humor are virtually identical those to those of that person, who happens to be one of THE primary contributors to that site like you have been to Wordie as long as I've camped out here. You have a doppelganger in the world of Irish musicians, S! Cool! Cheers - Deme en el centro de Buenos Aires una vuelta con una mujer bie'n preciosa y bella , o mejor, un tango con ella! ;>) Ciao - y que se disfrute alla'!

• about 2 months ago, sionnach said: Is this my 9000th comment? I think it might just be.
  Nope, apparently not. Wait, yes it is.
• about 2 months ago, bilby said: Thanks! For the record, it's from Allalu Mo Wauleen:
  An allalu mo wauleen!
  No hole, no stitch, no rent in it,
  ’Twas stuffed from string to sauleen,
  My half-year’s rent was pent in it.
  Charming stuff.
• about 2 months ago, bilby said: Kind sir, would you help me with the two -eens in this?
  Yourself and I, mo stóreen,
  At every hour of night and day,
  Through road and lane and bohreen
  Without complaint we made our way,
  Till one sore day a carman
  In pity took us from the road,
  And faced us towards Dungarvan
  Where mortal sin hath firm abode.
• about 2 months ago, bilby said: Being doing quite a bit of online reading. Got caught with library closed and nothing in the in-basket; don't have a book collection.
  
  The Guano Republic? I've never been to Nauru but it's well-known to Australians. At one stage their president preferred to live in Melbourne, ostensibly for the sake of his children's education ... not sure what that said about his country either. Nevertheless, he duly demanded that his activities appear in the Vice-Regal notices in Melbourne papers on a pretty much daily basis.
• about 2 months ago, sionnach said: What can I say? To survive the mean streets of Santiago, I had to pick up some bad habits.

• about 3 months ago, sionnach said: Ooh! 17K. Finally. Seems like it's taken forever to get from 16K to 17K.
  
  Now I guess I'll have to hold off for a few days to admire the nice roundness of that 17,000 figure.
• about 3 months ago, bilby said: It takes just as much courage to pull the plug and scoot as it does to hang around. I hope the revised plans work out well for you.
