There were tons of hits for "Flatlander" -- including an ezine about skateboarding and bike riding, a "Flatlander's Bar and Grill" and Flatlander Films, currently working on a feature starring Kevin Bacon -- I'll win at the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game every time now!

1) (Qal) to abstain from food, fast

this obviously shows that I chose the name for one of two(3) only meanings:
1. I quickly change the subject when it comes to food threads
b) I used to be one of those lean, long distance runners
iii) I'm hungry and on the prowl

No, I didn't look at them all. There were several Latino singers/dancers/actresses as well as one rock band from Mexico. There were also several political sites, religious sites, clinics and a plastic surgeon. Three intrigued me. One was "Consuelo is Dead". It is a vanity poet site. Most of the poetry isn't but he does have a few that come close. This, however, is not a site for the faint-heartedWARNING:Jackie, don't go there!. Another is a site offering the works of Consuelo Cloos, an artist who, in her 98 years on earth refused ever to sell her work. Not even to Dalí. Her estate is selling her art with the artist's stipulation that the proceeds be used to help needy children. The pastels were somewhat monotonous but the watercolors had some real gems. I recommend this site. Lastly, I liked the site that gives the story of Consuelo Vanderbilt. Her mother wanted her to marry royalty. She wanted to marry Winthrop Ruthefurd, an acceptable match for a Vanderbilt. Family pressure was too great. She married the Duke of Marlborough. On the day her father died, she divorced the Duke. She later married a French aviator,"whom she actually loved". Sob!

The url for the above is http://www.bit.net.id/SABDA-Web/L/L066d.htm


This comes from a site which compares different Indonesian translations of the bible. It also includes the Authorised Version and Strong's Lexicon of the words occuring in the Hebrew and Greek texts (although the Lexicon actually has the heading Hebrew Lexicon for both). They've translated the headings into Indonesian but left the English translations of the Hebrew and Greek words.

The headings say:

Kata word: tsuwm
Pengucapan pronunciation: {tsoom}
Asal Kata word root: a primitive root
Sumber source : TWOT - 1890
Jenis Kata Part of speech (literally type of word): v

Dalam AV in the AV: fast 20, at all 1

I googled "faldage".

OK, the easy stuff first:

A) All the dictionary sites (It turns out to be from LL faldagium, but the fald- part is from AS fald, a sheep fold).

2) Some stuff I've posted in other fora (Café Dartre; the International House of Chat, the Whadd'ya Know board, and maybe even the Whirlitzer of Wisdoms, the ZBS board).

But the scary one is:

Þ) All the porn sites (and not a one of them had anything to do with sheep).

Well, obviously not all the porno sites then. Aren't there some that deal with animals? You know, "Katie plays in the Farm Yard" type stuff? Surely sheep figure in those! Particularly on Australian and Welsh porno sites?

Jest askin'.

Well, duh, Cap! Of *course I didn't mean *all the porn sites. Just all the porn sites. Context, Cap, context.
