What they really sing: O Fortuna velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem. But Buffalo sings this real text I remember.
Fortuna- Fate - monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent, well-being is vain, and always fades to nothing, shadowed and veiled ; you plague me too; now through the game I bring my bare back to your villainy. (pretty gloomy)
Huh? seems like I lost a post here. Gee.. I answered doc_comfort:
Yes, this is not about numbers, but just like Victor Borge does.( good show, zed )( see zed's little up- link ) Numbers hidden in words. In this case up front of the word. So tsuwm's 3ting and Jackie's 2ting count, but the others are not exactly right. Then I asked: But pray, doc-comfort, what is fivorite?
Maybe I forgot to submit it. I've got a snowy brain these days.
You got me stumped, Bran. What the heck is threeting?
error,error, error . It's not a barrel of trouble; I just made a tiny bit of a mistake. I have never heard favorite pronounced as fivorite, but if it exists then 5orite is fine with me. Sixorite however is really not possible. (just a silly game allright, but what )
tsuwms word threaping (3ping )is a real decent word: 2. To maintain obstinately against denial or contradiction; also, to contend or argue against (another) with obstinacy; to chide; as, he threaped me down that it was so. [Prov. Eng. & Scot.] --Burns. [1913 Webster]
thre·ose Pronunciation: 'thrE-"Os Function: noun : a syrupy synthetic sugar C4H8O4 that is the epimer oferythrose and that occurs as two optical isomers
Threne (?), n. [L. threnus, Gr. . Cf. Drone.] Lamentation; threnody; a dirge. Shak.
The threns . . . of the prophet Jeremiah. Jer. Taylor.
Besides, there are 4 Os in C4H8O4. Are we up to 6 yet? 6ten Sparre, the anit-hero of Elvira Madigan. Or, if you don't like proper names, there's always that regular column in Verbatim, 66ic!
twosleepy Well, the stressed syllables may be a little off, but it works for me: misevents
Yeh, you have to stretch it cause you do not pronounce it mis-évents , you pronounce this mis-evénts, so you never really hear the seven. mi7ts. 7of9 I mean we's up to nine.
abbreviation of standard nine Yes, you hardly can go wrong with this one. I looked it up, thought it was something like amphetamine or some other drug,
Yes, great, snow still hanging on and ice and hazardous bike rides. People who are buried in snow every year can't imagine how boring a winter without snow is. People look more alive.
