R'lyeh Now if it were only spelled it right - "en brochette"
That's some whacky syntax ya gots there, Myr. And thanks for the correction (tho I cannot correct it now). I think I was mentally mooshing together the vowel of Italian bruschetta and the rest of French brochette.

Tasmania It's definitely either dɘg or dəg.
To which the German hotel clerk replies that it's not his dok.
I'll leave it to someone else to work out the IPA transliteration of how they both pronounce 'room'!

You're teasing right? You are an admin on the site. You can edit everything, except your user number.

this too shall pass >I cannot correct it now

No, I meant that after a day or so of aging, I am not able to edit any of my posts. I thought this was a feature of the BBS software used here.
