Gets confusing when there are i's and t's nearby, like in my dad's name, Antonio. It looks like Autouio. Weird, eh?

Weird? Bean, it's positively gothic!



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Faldage analogizes: It's a 3 against 2 rhythm. Ya get that in Brasilian music?

Sim, but I'd only give it about a 6. You can't dance to it.

Musick: Sounds like a waltz to me!

I dunno, for me a waltz has to be 3/4 so's I *can dance to it. Faldage's "minimum" reminds me more of, say, "America" from West Side Story. And my fingers stumble on the syncopation.

I *don't whine. I merely harrumph. And yes, I can, with a minimum of effort

GAH!!!!!!! You...you...used THAT NON-word!!! OH!!!
How COULD you! I am NOT, and never will be one of those!

But, outrage aside, I had to laugh at the appropriateness of what happened: I still had my window to the parallel universe open, and wwftd showed up there! Fitting retribution, perhaps...
