Git yer, git yer, ya ya here. I guess this would not be "mocha chocolate ya-ya," but more like "cappuchino latte ya-ya." It's amazing how much Sheridan sounds like Elvis. Buddy Holly could sound like an Elvis impersonater, too and often did (he was only about year younger and knew Elvis reasonably well). And the Beatles held Holly and Presley in high regard. What a great old track. What is it-- Hamburg 1961 or 62? It makes me feel sorry for so many vocals on today's American Idol-- no wonder I can't listen to it. And the live-backup here, without mixing or dubbing or any benefit but amplification, is smooth and perfectly professional. Another reminder that the Beatles, like everybody else, didn't just "come out of nowhere." They'd been in Germany, practicing their butts off in live performances, for years and years. |

Oh the irony :

Nothing To See Here … Move Along …
Views : 5,556
Well, they couldn't read fully what kind of thing it was till they'd gone there to see what the hell kind of a thing it WAS. And there really was nothing to see, they were told to move along, and so they found that out, and moved along, but were counted as viewers anyway. Where's the irony? That's not irony so much as playing your audience for suckers. Since we all know when the cops tell you there's nothing to see, move along, it's code that there's indeed often something interesting to see, which is WHY they're tellilng you to move along, so you don't block things while trying to see it. Even if it said "nothing to see, don't click" in the thread header, and yet gotten that many viewers, I'm not sure wourld have qualified even there, since the whole damn thing is curious enough to examine to see if there's some deception, even if you DO understand the general purposes, from a header. Which you're not likely to.... (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/unhappy.gif) Afterall, we're discussing something interesting here, are we not? |

Miltown Row obviously x-hibits a lot of Oedipal Rebellion (ΨΑ : OR) — you might well ask WHY he wants his Emperors nude
(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) Oedipal rebellion is one psychobabble term for people who refuse to kiss up to shrinks. Yes, it's defiance disorder-- the guy won't do what I say! It's also a term for people who spend their lives as subversives, never satisfied with the status quo (see leftist, but also to some extent, libertarian). The difference being that leftists see Goverment (usually a sort they don't have yet) as mummy and daddy. TungstenCarbide being a recent example here on the forum. Rightists see religious authority in that role, and libertarians are often just stone-cold unbelievers in any authority save that conferred by superior understanding of nature (ability to predict the future-- see "science"). Leave rocket science to rocket scientists, IOW. And I don't want my emperors nude. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/yecch.gif) It's just an observation that we're all created that way and to some extent, remain that way. Including them. Some of us humans figure that out, and some never do. (IMG: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll191/Shrlocc/Creation_of_jimbo.jpg) |

It's one of those Leibnizian Monad type things — not that a Windowless World is all that much a BADIDEE … But you really got SEX on the brain today, dontcha ??? But Wiener is pronounced Veener, while Weiner is pronounced Viner, unless it's angli-sized to Whiner. Jon (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) |

Jon (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) That was a typo, as I (had) no idea who Jennifer Weiner was. I do know that in German when two vowels go walking the second does the talking. And anyway, Wiener is the one that means Viennese. I dunno what Weiner means. Whiner, maybe (no, not a joke). Or a corruption, done by people with teh same typing transposition problems I have. |

Wine merchant. Good. Yep, sure enough-- in Yiddish, not in German. In German a wine grower or maker is Der Winzer or Die Weinzerin. Or the end-producer Die Kellerei (literally the cellerer, I think). Perhaps Jews couldn't grow or make the stuff because they couldn't own land, and thus had to be specialized retailers. I don't know if there is a HochDeutsch word specifically for that. Certainly standard German for wine is Wein, but "Weiner" doesn't translate. There is a claim also on Wikipedia that in old German "Weiner" is derived from the same noun as "wright," a worker (as in wheelwright, cartwright, wainwright). |
