I sure would need company if I spoke the only non Finno/Ugric language in the Baltic region. Just a comment down here, so as not to distract what's going on above the "fold." #153926 - 01/16/06 06:26 PM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,538 tsuwm Carpal Tunnel tsuwm   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,538 this too shall pass yes, I was shocked, I tell you - amazed even, when I saw the yellow plus sign. #153927 - 01/16/06 07:17 PM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 maverick Carpal Tunnel maverick   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 dunno if it was the context but I read that initially as "the yellow puss sign"...

I like to keep you on your toes, tsuwm, what with the diminution of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices and all. #153929 - 01/19/06 03:18 AM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Jackie Jackie   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Good gracious, I haven't been down here below the fold in...prolly years; since 2000, acc'g. to my main page, but I know that's not right. Anyway, to get to the topic: I simply cannot understand why anyone would feel so free to be so rude, esp. when it is unprovoked. I saw an episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation where Wesley Crusher describes a certain alien race as considering courtesy a sign of weakness; all I can figure is that he must be like them. #153930 - 01/22/06 01:13 AM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Father Steve   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Seattle, Washington, USA The assumption, chums, that a troll's personality fits within the range of normal psychology is a likely error, from which amazement then flows. If one starts with a different assumption -- that of a mental flaw or defect -- then the behaviour is less shocking in that it is somewhat expected. #153931 - 01/22/06 08:11 PM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel zmjezhd   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh Actually, there are a couple of non-Finno-Ugric languages spoken in the Baltic: e.g., Russian (still a largish minoritiy language in Estonia and Lithuania, and spoken officially in Kaliningrad ex Koenigsburg), Latvian (quite distinct from Lithuanian), Baltic Romani, etc. Ceci n'est pas un seing. #153932 - 01/22/06 08:26 PM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Buffalo Shrdlu   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont oh sure, jim, try to make it a word post... formerly known as etaoin... #153933 - 01/24/06 03:47 PM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 inselpeter Pooh-Bah inselpeter   Pooh-Bah Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 New York City Hmm. I didn't know Kaliningrad was an exclave of Russia. Is Alaska an exclave of the U.S.? #153934 - 01/25/06 02:27 AM Re: poor homo loquens/ullrich/marie/troll   Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel zmjezhd   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh Is Alaska an exclave of the U.S.? Seems likely to me. At least until the US gummint annexes Canadia. Ceci n'est pas un seing.
