TTTNE 444 - Quote a movie on TV while eating chocolate and healing the sick

[Minstral]

Yes it is :cheers:

My mom: smile, you look better smiling!

Me: Sure!

I wonder if I will be ending then... The state of miy mind might be slipping through spell check.... And I had to take notice to change that from "speell" and "chekc".

[HexMachina]

Brilliant, Gillo :bowdown:

Morning all! :grouphug:

I went to sleep at 1am. And my dad decided to wake me up at 9am. 9-FREAKING-AM. To do some work -_-

I'M TIRED GODDAMIT

Why is it that whenever I really need to sleep, nobody lets me sleep, and when I have time to sleep, I can't sleep?! This world is fucked up...

Now I'm gonna be extremely tired all day and won't be able to function like a human being properly.. I'll just function like a cat then, meowing and glaring at people sleepily all day

[Buckwheat]

Awesome, Gillio. :lol:

(I just do not understand the one with the Eskimos in a kayak. :( )

Welcome to TTTNE, Minstral.

Nym, functioning like a cat is always a solution!

That sounds better then getting four to five hours or sleep before a work day... on a week day no less. Seriously I must be insane to to that sometimes.

I've done 2 hours before a full school day before, absolutely rotten.. but staying up is soooo tempting :P

And once I did 5 hours I think before a 6am-5pm shift on a sunday.. :stillsick:

GMM you're in no position to kill anyone.. enjoy permanent imprisonment :P

Bucky, how are you?

Some people. Just. Irritate. The. Fuck. Out. of. Me. :AAAANGRRRYYY:

[Minstral]

ummmm.....

Vielen Dank Frau...

I would use some other Google translator, but my fingers a little clubbish right now. Soooo... thank you.

[Buckwheat]

I once slept around 2 hours (we saw a really pretty sunrise in the morning, then I went to sleep at like 6 or 7) and had a lesson at 10 o'clock where I had to look into the computer screen and read a few pages off it aloud. My eyes were not thankful for that. :P

Bucky, how are you?

Some people. Just. Irritate. The. Fuck. Out. of. Me. :AAAANGRRRYYY:

Busy with the assignment still ... yesterday was very productive, but this assignment needs about 15 pages. I have 7 pages now. At least I need to write a few more for the presentation.

ETA: Would it be too blatant cheating if I just pop in some graphs/charts and make them fill like half a page? :rolleyes: (I already have one list.)

Who dares irritate you?

ummmm.....

Vielen Dank Frau...

There's an old english saying that "you can't have your cake and eat it too"

I always forget English is not your first language

According to wiki you would talk about wolves and goats!!?!!

[Adara]

Yeah, the eskimo was one of those I didn't get.

Ahhhhhhhh thanks, I understand now!

As far as I understand, the wolf and the goat saying would be used in a different context. The "have cake and eat cake" is used when something is not possible, right?

The "wolf is full and the goat is whole" would be used when something is possible. For example when there is a problem, and somebody proposes a solution that fits both sides: "We will do so and so, and the wolf will be full and the goat whole." (Basically, the wolf does not need to eat the goat to be satisfied.)

It is really interesting to see all the different versions of the same collocation. Seems like most of the Balto-Slavic languages agree about the wolves and goats. The English seems to be the only one talking about cakes, but there are other languages that talk about food items.

Yes, I am a phraseology geek, do not judge. ;)

This shows that English is not our first language. Collocations are something one has to learn one by one and they often do not make sense ... I would say that the fact that we understood the rest of the puns shows our knowledge of English is pretty good! :cheers:

And OMG Swiss. :lol: Can you understand Swiss people when they talk their version of German?

I'm so happy that I did understand most of Gillio's puns better and still don't get the swiss one :lmao: But tbh, I also think my understanding did improve during the last year.

As I understand the slovene one: Wolf meets goat. Either wolf is full (eating the goat) or goat is whole (escaped). Can't have both. But anyway, I'll take a closer look at the kayak again :lol:

ETA:

can't have your kayak and heat it too.

OMG I GOT IT :lol: I feel very stupid now. Like you had to explain the joke... *sigh*

You'll do great Bucky :grouphug:

Nope :P if it contributes to the assignment why not??

Basically I was on another forum last year, me and a group of friends got into a massive argument with the owners/admins (since the owner was a shithead to us) most of us left and all. And I got a hell of a lot of shit from the people who were on the owners/admins side, like more shit than anyone else. I decided to go back a month ago, forget past grudges and move on :) I made my peace with the owners/admins and it's cool. I don't believe in holding grudges. first of all I have issues with a so called 'friend', I'm tired of putting all the effort into our sham of a friendship, I'm not pulling the weight myself so he can fuck off. Also learned to my dismay that there are people there who still hate me.. :lol: seriously, people still haven't gotten over last year? It's ridiculous. Some reckon that some people there were just jealous of me since I had a lot of friends and was 'popular'. In particular one woman who divorced her husband (she was 26 then) for a 17 year old perverted guy, and once when I told him to leave me alone because he was harassing me so badly, she took it badly and thought I was being snobby and that I wanted everyone to accede to the 'princess' demands. Like hell I did. She was a super jealous bitch LOL. Anyway people can hold their grudges or whatever, I love myself and plenty others do too, everyone's grudges can go to hell. If people wanna talk to me, sure, I'm up for it. :)

I always do that. 1.5 lines, largest font possible, graphs, tables, footnotes. Perfectly working assignment hacks.

Good day people!

Still coughing. Which sucks because I should head back to life tomorrow. But it seems like I won't. I really want to get enough rest and not make this last a month.

I'll go and have some chocolate.

Morning my lovelies :kiss:

Training today to make me an "official" karate instructor (class time stuff)

My dad used to tell us this story to make us giggle:

Early late this morning, 10 o'clock last night

Two dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back they faced each other

drew their swords and shot one another.

A deaf policeman heard all the noise

and came to investigate the two dead boys.

If you don't believe my tall tale is true,

just ask the blind man, he saw it all.

:P

[Adara]

Good luck with class :)

We learnt something like that in school - perhaps our king knows it. Dunkel wars, der Mond schien helle ... :D Unknown autor.

Good morning all :) Three of 4 12hr shifts down...only one more to go.

Good luck with the assignments Helena and Buck. I agree Rhae...I used to do the same. I still do when creating in-services for the rest of the staff. My last in-service was a single page consisting of 4 pictures with 1 word captions...wrong, wrong, wrong, RIGHT. Simple, but effective.

I don't have a nice smile, at all, I look like a freaking hyena when I smile. hahahaha. But I do like my eyes, a lot. They're typical indian brown (in my culture, having any other eye colour besides brown is seen as very beautiful since brown is so common....) except mine are maybe like one or two shades lighter than a normal brown. It's not always easy to tell but it's kinda pretty. And they're a pretty nice shape and I have really long dark lashes and I like it. Probably my favourite part of me, I don't like anything else :P

I think my problem is that I don't give off a spark, I don't socialise, I'm dull and really boring. I look like I'm depressed all the time (even though I'm not) and I can't really hold a conversation. I only seem to show off this personality online (since it's much easier). So I just look like I'm not worth talking to :P even though I'm crazy haha

I'm the same way...ask Lany, Lily and Q. In RL, I'm kind of boring :p

I'm bored.

I've de-cluttered our room and super dusted. 10 loads of laundry. Yes, 10.

I've subjected myself to watching Ghost Adventures. Nothing else is on. And GA is pretty offensive.

I'm bored.

Ghost Adventures sucks. The only shows that are decent any more is 'A Haunting' and 'The Dead Files' I'm glad that DEST brought 'A Haunting' back.

Hubby just sent this

1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

22. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says, 'Dam!'

23. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says, 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'

25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root-canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
