Ahhh well now theres a coincidence if ever there were! 'ad a couple of travellers through the other day as had done exactly the same thing as wot you dun. Queer folk they was. One of em reckoned 'e was King Arfur an all he did. No horses either. His friend was bangin together a couple of coconuts would you believe. E sed it was a new breed of 'orse. Guess it wos one of em fjords. I saw one once I did. Twas on the cover of a book, but it had only three legs, an I thinks to meself, what kind of book 'as a picture of an 'orse wiv only 3 legs? But maybe I is mistaken as now I comes to think about it that book had no coconuts in it. Or leastways it didnt have no pictures of coconuts. Maybe some of them words was about coconuts, but bein an illeterate peasant an all I got nowt business tryin to actually read it. But tis a strange thing that, I mean where would you be getting coconuts round ere? Them's tropical fruits they is. I suppose ye could nail a parrot to em and it could fly em over, but it would be a bit heavy methinks. Hmmm... perhaps a swallow?

It can be quite distressing and confusing. The English language is akin to VB (Visual Basic) in that it is structured just enough to be misused and misinterpreted by all who read it. Maybe this is true of other languages. But, I am a simple English speaking bufoon. :-D Brandon Goodin -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Van Horn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 11:18 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] slackers On Monday, June 2, 2003, at 01:10 PM, Brandon Goodin wrote: > Translation: > > Id recommend coming over to Singapore except that the job market here > is > also nailed to its perch [sucks] and pining [deeply desiring] for the > fjords > [a horse breed]. Beautiful plumage [flowers and plants] though. fjords is not a horse breed. Fjords are glacier-thingies in Norway. Even dead parrots know that. At least dead Norwegian parrots. plumage = feathers Or were you joking? not sure... my bad day is continuing... but this list is worth a smile or two.
