Alder Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Oh, yes! I had just watched that a year or so ago based on your recommendation. A really interesting children's movie I saw recently was The Neverending Story. The puppetry was a tad hokey, but the idea behind the story was really cool. (Not unlike the idea behind A Wrinkle in Time, actually.) The Neverending story was originally written in German as "Die Unendliche Geschicte" translated in 83, I got my hands on a translated first edition. A very interesting literary work and alphabetical chapter arrangement. Do yourself a favor an read the book. The theme is better developed in this format.

Aurore Devareaux Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Madame McDonough, though rather jumbled, I believe what Monsieur is trying to say is thus... He is taking flight to France to view the Eiffel Tower and therfore, will be away for a legnthy amount of time. **cringe** O shoshoy kaste si feri yek khiv sigo athadjol.~Romani Proverb Celui qui ne sait pas se taire sait rerement bien parler.~Pierre Charron Attention!

Tall Mike Bismuth van der Bulge Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Quoi? Je suis déjà allé à France, et mangé de la crème brulée et bu le vin blanc. J'ai les fait pour cinq mois. Personne a volé mon voiture (Quand je voyage je conduis. Même à travers l'océan.) à Paris, donc j'ai resté en France jusqu'l'on a retourné mon auto. Maintenant, je parle seulement français. Merde!

Aurore Devareaux Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 LOL!!!! ( I refuse to translate all that above....Merde, zut.) As to the Avatar.... It represents a line from a very old rhyme which began in old Europe and in original form refered to magpies. It is theorized that with the steady migration to the Colonies, that its' form was altered to crows. The rhyme/poem is rather obscure in origins, though most agree that it lies in England and was used as a form of fortune telling; ie. the number of birds counted dictated future events. ( Counting rhymes in general are believed to be thus. ) The number being "two" is noted as representing joy / mirth. There are many variations of the counting rhyme in question; some lines numbering seven others to higher numbers.

hitman Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Can't rember what I put for the answer last time but here goes. Mine is the third national flag of the CSA with the red stripe reduced and a skull and cross bones placed in the center. As to what it means well I am a pyrate from the deep South and really wouldn't have it any other way. It is I admit some what obvious and I have yet to change it as well.... I like it. I still some times wonder if anyone here puts their own meaning and or feelings behind my avatar and come up with a lesser few of me. Odd that, as for the most part I could care less but I would feel bad if it led to some one feeling hurt and or less than welcome. ........... ?????????

Caraccioli Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Time for an update! (And a topic boost...) First, we have Eugene the Jeep, who is a 4th dimensional creature that solves problems and always tells the truth: And then there was Pan, the mischievous boy who never wanted to grow up: And just today, I switched to Koehler. (I used this photo because I couldn't find an undead shot of him. Maybe I'll rip one off the DVD and change the shot.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
