This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Ha! Score one for amych -- -er verbs do indeed drop the -s in the singular imperative, except when followed by en or y, as in «vas-y !» or «Manges-en»

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, I have to deal with French teachers every day. It's about time there was some benefit in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So one might shoo with "Va!" or "Vas-y!"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Amych, you are eminently more qualified to answer than I am, in that case -- I'm remembering university French from 1986.

The Académie française met and threw it out.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If the gun's actually put away, I feel safer than if it's where I can see it. Hell, just the idea that only the people who know it's there can use it is a comfort.

Point. But I'd still prefer that fewer people walking around had them at all.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hivemind help!

I'm drawing a mental block. What is the antonym for namesake?

Hayden - Apr 19, 2005 1:52:00 pm PDT #7198 of 10001

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Namesake has an antonym? I'm stumped.
