reesetee What? No chocolate? ;-> Jul 28, 2008
dontcry Okay, stand back, hot vanilla cupcakes coming out of the oven...
Can you still smell it?? Jul 22, 2008
bilby It's dontcry. She's in full-on cupcake mode in the hope of exterminating every last whiff of marmite from her house. Jul 22, 2008
reesetee Bilby, where'd you get that cupcake? Has a surrogate cupcake bouncer been handing them out in my absence?
*dancing excitedly* Jul 21, 2008
Prolagus Thank thee, sionnache. Jul 13, 2008
sionnach "I will suggest to you another song".
sounds a bit archaic to me, too reminiscent of
"Yea, verily, I will suggest unto you another song".
I'd just omit the indirect object altogether; it's obvious from the context. Jul 13, 2008
bilby Wow! *dances in the snow* Jul 13, 2008
mollusque Prolagus, don't let bilby snow you. You do not have to say "suggest to", you can also say "suggest for". Jul 13, 2008
Prolagus I just hope bilby's cupcakes are lactose flea. Jul 13, 2008
frogapplause Here's some Wing Music to listen to while you're packing, Pro.

I'm thinking about including more music links for my strips. Theme music for the day! I love world music. Here's a Persian clip that I listen to often.

bilby A likely story. As soon as your exam's over you plague our language with grammatical unpardonables.
*bounces a cupcake off Pro's head* Jul 13, 2008
Prolagus No bilby,
you another song soon is the title. It's a Korean love song. Jul 13, 2008
bilby You have to say suggest to in English, Pro, ie. the ultimate recipient can't be a direct object. So:
I will suggest another song to you. OR,
I will suggest to you another song. Jul 13, 2008
frogapplause Yes, please do! I also included a link to the song in the comments section of yesterday's strip (the one with the little sad dog). http://gocomics.com/frogapplause/2008/07/11/ Jul 13, 2008
Prolagus I'm happy you like it! I will suggest you another song soon. Jul 13, 2008
frogapplause I've already listened to this song about ten times. I love it! Thank you for including the lyrics in English. Jul 13, 2008
Prolagus Listen to this song by the Italian songwriter Vinicio Capossela, with English translation of the lyrics. Jul 5, 2008
abraxaszugzwang Chorea sancti viti (Latin for "St. Vitus' dance") is an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, one of a group of neurological disorders called dyskinesias. The term chorea is derived from a Greek word khoreia (a kind of dance, see chorea), as the quick movements of the feet or hands are vaguely comparable to dancing or piano playing. Mar 9, 2007
