RE: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants
In that case it's going to be "my two cent" over here, cos there's no plural apparently;) don't mind me though I'm just being pedantic... Robert -Original Message- > Just my two Euros... I may be mistaken but, is not the expression 'my two cents'? If so, that's convenient, because it works in both currencies. 1 Euro = 100 cents 1 Dollar = 100 cents n'est pas?

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants
"cents" is a similar corruption as "dollar". Somebody knows the origin of "dollar" ? It was at "Joachimsthal" in German cultivated East Bohemia, where Count Schlick got the right to mint his own silver coins (also doubles, half & quarters) 1520. They were named according to the place "Joachimsthaler" from the St.Joachim valley (German = tal). The name was reduced to "thaler" later, just for simplicity. And this became dollar, dollar, taler etc. Cent is 1/100th of a certain (main) coin. "Centesimo" or "centime" would be appropriate, but again simplified to "cent". And in Europe we got the "Euro" now, which has not a meaning at all. It is like "artificial honey". Since gold standard was abandoned, money has just a hypothetical value. "Pfennig" was a separate coin, a basic coin itself as was the old Russian "kopek" or "lira" or "heller" or "penny" (the English word for Pfennig). They had not adopted the metric (1/100) system then anyway. = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 5:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants My two cents... sure, but why not "my two Ore" or "my two Pfennings" or "my three sons"?

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants
I know this is probably a little too much on-topic, but back to the subject of slide grease I've started using the Hetman slide gel. It takes a little longer to get on the slides since it comes out in a thin bead half the time, but I find that a little goes a long way anyways. Plus, it seems to have a very secure grip and seal all around. Just my two Euros... Now, back to your regularly scheduled program... -William In a message dated 4/12/2004 10:37:41 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Professor Pizka, Thank you for the complement, but on the BMI (body mass index) at the doctor's office, I'm in the middle, supposedly a healthy weight.

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants
Michael, with this size 5´8 & 142 lbs at age 16 are too fat. And your spelling of the Californian Governor´s name is unique absolutely: His name has nothing to do with vine-gar. His name is Schwarzenegger. This is some dialect spelling from Austria & translates somewhat like "(Man) from the black corner" or "(Man)from the dark corner" or "Black Harrow(er)", also "Dark (fat earth) Fields".(means good earth like vegetable mould). Or simply "Man from Schwarzeneck", where Schwarzeneck means a small village name (Black Corner). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 9:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Re: Slide Lubricants Thanks everyone, Yeah I do get allittle to worrisome at times.
