I'm the noob so that makes me Lt. Literal!

Colonel Literal did it with the candlestick in the library.

A touch yesterday after my call, and another today... let's hope for non-RFE good gnus (polite antelopes? similar to pancake-bunnies?).

Mox, I want to see a foto of a chop suey rooster with a bandage grenade glued to the distal two centimeters of its left-flank feathers (outer ones only). You da man; advance thanks.

And how can being Canadian be honorary (whoops -- "hono(u)rary")? Where is Canadia? Isn't it merely a more-arctic North Dakota?

T-B. (gleefully remembering the "trash-Canadia" trash that he gave to his Canadian ex-girlfriend before she was Ex, and which had nothing to do with her ultimate exxitude)

'honorary' never gains the 'u', even in countries that add it to 'honour'

same goes for 'humorous'

*English teacher and annoying git*

I think I'm just going to keep spelling things with a "U" and I'll keep writing the date "backwards!" If anything just to annoy Nick!!!!

well i called USCIS yesterday and then registered a touch. i checked this morning and i have another touch. maybe the second one is real???

EVERYTHING gets a "u," if it irritates someone from Canadia. :)

And, Prettiest, if you're in Australia, you should really type while standing upside-down so that those of us in the Northern Hemisphere can understand you. :)

T-B. *editor, medical journal (see the "u" in "journal"?)*

prettiest is a UK filer!

Just trying to confuse the rest of us!

but she isn´t in Australia
personally "u" or not "u" doesn´t bother me...there are enough British words that in US English are so different lol

Just for you, and for today only, I will also be writing the date backwards.

Gratzies!! I'm still stuck on my same ol' date... really beginning to get me down



I'm much more patient now than I ever have been - I have a lot to thank this process for... doesn't mean I don't want my NOA2 though



Oooh! Exciting!! I hope it brings good news - you've been waiting long enough!!



I always wonder if I get into teaching out there how weird it is going to be to teach things "wrong"



Oh Chris - I really hope it is your turn next!! I am sure it brings good news!!!



Gratzies on the approval!! I can't remember if I said it - I was so so happy for you and I was so tired last night!! I know Debz told me you had your interview which I didn't know and I was wondering how it went *hugs*

I'm thinking I'll be lucky to see an 183 day approval though

To "u" or not "u"... that is the question!

What do people have against the letter 'U' it never did anything to you. Infact you could see that it makes you complete.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESERVATION OF 'U'

Yo yo yo!!!

There's no "u" in "Y'all"

hahaha!

We (the editorial We) didn't say that Prettiest was FROM Australia; we said that if she were IN Australia (we think). We think; therefore, we u.

The crucial gripe against adding the letter "u" to everything is this: Doing so consumes so much time that it cripples national economies and social acceptability. To wit: England (Brittania used to rule the waves, but no more); Australia (they, or we, must stand on our heads to be understood); and Canadia (a third-world country, eh). There is no disputing these indisputable facts, which cannot be disputed.

Q: How did Canadia get its name?
A: C eh N eh D eh...

:)

completely backwards, TBone; Prettiest is FROM but not IN Australia

and who says I DON'T type standing upside down? in the immortal words of Miracle Max: 'Look who knows so much...'

(in any case, upside down as opposed to what? what's 'up' from the north pole? what's 'down' from the south? you're acting as if the earth is a ball suspended over a table or something; there's no up OR down )

I think I will always write the date the correct way; I just can't see the sense of doing it the other way

On top of The Very Secret Diaries, now you pull out a Princess Bride quote? StillThePrettiest...I just want you to know that if your relationship doesn't work out, and my relationship doesn't work out...we should definitely go bowling together sometime! I...I could learn to love the monobrow...I think...

(I thought that I had chased everyone away from here, but not so. Ergothuswithforthly, my work here is not done.)

I respectfully believe that you (there's that "u" again) are the confused one, because I can prove, via this dialogue, that you're not here:

T-B: Are you in Canadia?
STP: No.
T-B: Are you in Guatemala?
STP: No.
T-B: Are you in Equatorial Guinea?
STP: No.
T-B: Well, if you're not in any of those places, you must be someplace else. And if you're someplace else, how can you be here?

Present or absent, though, you remain The Prettiest. :)

T-B. (again fooled by monobrow)

you funny

you remind me of the little fish in the story I used to read as a kid, who could be silent in 33 languages... 'be silent in Greek!' his friends would say, and the little fish would be silent in Greek; 'be silent in Latin!' they would cry, and he would be silent in Latin...



and mox - well, perhaps I should not reveal that my sig line before this one was also PB ('Life IS pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.' - I thought it peculiarly appropriate for those of us stuck in US visa hell ), and that I can recite most of the film...

*twirling monobrow coquettishly*

Lol - Jeremy is a huge PB fan... I must say I have only watched it once...

The only film I can vaguely recite parts of is Labyrinth... But then that is prolly the only movie I have watched more than twice!!

Hmmmm...

Probably he means no harm.

Uh... that should be "monoquettishly" or perhaps "soloquettishly," o Inglish-teechur.
:)

Mox is behind schedule with the requested rooster. Let's hold an insurrection (if outdoors, an exsurrection).

Congratulations to your approval
Emergency number? Seriously?

but I, unlike him, am not at all short on charm

I can recite loads of films... bits of books and poetry and so on... my memory is pretty good; friends live in fear of me remembering embarrassing stories about them
and I come from a family where everyone is constantly quoting all sorts of things at each other; bits of The Goons and Star Wars and Princess Bride and kids' books and who knows what else all within the same conversation

Congratulations Now chop chop to NVC

I remember things like dates, names and scenarios once I can put a story together of what has happened (have to do that a lot in work). I remember birthdays of people I haven't seen for over a decade...

Someone asking for getting stuck in AP or something?

the door knob?

Lol I don't think she would like that - I don't think anyone would!! Although Debz got pretty lucky! I wouldn't mind it then!!!

every first one is fake and ever second one is real?

My first one definitely feels fake... maybe cause I am sick of seeing it now?!?!

btw...in reals the planet isn´t the way you think it is...they just agreed to disagree on this cuz they don´t have that many votes in Australia...but there exist some maps where Australia is on the upper side and USA is upside down

Debz was gossiping about me Yesterday I was so tired too
*hugs you so your approval comes faster than you think*

I will have to go for to "u" cuz if I don´t then how will I say I love X?

*hugs Marta back*

Maybe magic hugs will make my NOA2 come... although I am thinking a disgustingly large slice... nay - make that a half of a gigantic gooey chocolate cake might work wonders too! Although I don't think I will be fitting into my wedding dress come February..

Canadia in Czech write(read) Kanada gets it´s name from kanady (read kanady) which are the male ice-skating ice-skates Kanada -----> an ice-skating nation

well some things are just simplier if you adopt them and learn them the other way cuz if you won´t everything will get pretty confusing

Canadia, as we used to tell our then-girlfriend, is a useless icebox, exactly like an even-more-Arctic North Dakota. And, those faulty maps that show Australia atop (vs. beneath) the world were OBVIOUSLY made in Canadia. Ha, eh.

You have one yourself! You said so lol

dang...I mean Ice-Hockey!

Kinda the same thing Both on ice-skates... what more do you want?!

I never told my then-girlfriend she was a useless icebox lol

Well yeah, but I also have a [censored]. Doesn't necessarily mean I'd want my partner to have one.

ice-hockey is with sticks ice-skating is with short skirts and little butts I want Justice


You have a censored? Can I have some? We have yummy cakes...with some green stuff in it

hmm, what could he be censoring there?

maybe -

'useless icebox'

'rabbit fetish'

'collection of old earwax'

'piece of Lenin's moustache'

'box full of last week's pizza'

'problem with intimacy'


am I close?

She has a monobrow....doesn´t mean she wants her partner to have one

Isn't that mould?!

I fear that he's referring to "refilled cream doughnuts." Do not dwell too long on this seedy subject.

Mox, WHERE is the chop-suey rooster? A mox upon you, and no gruel for u for supper tonight.

nah I´d have to know something about that

All of those things actually, except the useless icebox. I'd quite fancy my partner supplying their own useless icebox.
