    Now, now, my good man, we do know that pre Johnsonian spelling was much what one liked, but we are post Johnsonian. I will give you that Pres. Andrew Jackson once held: "It's a damned poor man who can't spell a word more than one way." The red wine bit is a much more acceptable excuse. :bag:

    I wonder why I have the unworthy impression that a certain party is making up words?

    Doubtless you will return Sir ,armed with that pantechnicon of the Mother Tounge , Dr Johnson's Dictionary-I trust you will suffer no cymbocephalic tergiservation.I trust you will return gruntled and without mental incalescence.

     

    also I have found my slang thesaurus which allows me to translate from English to the Colonial Usage

     

    Sirrah:

    You are DOOMED! :D I shall return! :sniper: And when I do, I shan't spell (of all things) TONGUE wrong. :D Tounge!, in deed, my good fellow! ^_^ Your dictionary of Colonial Usage will not serve you! :P Remember who won the war. :2guns:

    Heaven Forfend! as long as you do not sequester a marmoset in my morion.

     

    A marmoset? Iupiter forEfend! Only a midget murine mammal to graze on your hair.

     

    Fie! must I then fumigate my follicular growths with fumitory herb therewith to frighten off the mammalian marauder? Surely my mollions will be roughly aggled!

     

    Ah, but you are good! You have me, the nonce, on the last two. Nonetheless, I suggest that you use lycopode instead of the herb. I'll get you yet, Black Baron!

    "tis most exelentte of you , doubtless merrye capers and japes will abounde

     

    Nay sir, the japes and capers must await the return of the wandering Bride, Claudia Prima. Yet, my old partner in Kali4kneeya, is caprificating my figs.

    Something tells me that you will soon force me to resurrect my 1920's encyclopaedia and/or get a copy of the O.E.D.

     

    Most trullye Sirrah you have great gravyte and bottome!

    Sirrah! Me, sir? Must I thank you or build a marmorate covered Martello-tower against your predations?

    Oh, my operation was good and I haven't problems with my eyes now (I wear glasses sometimes but it's not so need for me now).

    thanks!

    Yes, I know Richard Fazzini, I already read his lectures about Luxor and about history of Egypt. I found he's one of the best egyptologist in the world now. I often use his thought about history of Egypt. They are always very competent and understandble.

     

    If you ever visit him or the Brooklyn Museum, let me know and my Bride and I will take you to lunch or dinner. Unfortunately it will not be with Richard and Mary. I'll TRY to get his e-mail from a mutual friend, if you like.

    Beshrew me! young Lord Blackadder you are in fine fooling today! I see you blog under the influence of Bacchus and use one of the few great modern innovations-paper plates.

     

    I fain beshrew thee ere I am off to the Brewster-Sessions! In and for thy honour, I shall garnish my grig with Fool's-Parsley this eventide. As I am presently bereaved of fine Falernian, planter's whiskey will accompany that excellent comestable.

    It is my earnest wish that you enjoy my skimble-skamble.

     

    I am your humble servant,

    Captain Blackadder :D

    Like the old gods, God plays with mankind. He tells Osama and the mullahs one thing and the always wrong reverendo robberson, a member of the Society of Holy Immaculate Telereverendos (S.H.I.T. for short), another. The northeast is going to get whacked with a tsunami undoubtedly because of Harvard, Yale, The NY Times, NPR, etc. (You are safe out there in the provinces; your elections are properly fixed.) But that's OK by me. My homestead will become waterfront property as it rests on the highest point in Brooklyn (The Heart of America).

    Did you know that el wrongo is a slum lord in Brooklyn and a dealer in blood diamonds?

    Pray brethern and sistern, pray! Oh!, don't forget to send gold.

    I am a little late at your blog. It is great! And I am glad that you are safe. I've done a bit of driving in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. Rather have a heart transplant without an anesthetic. Dante's Inferno!

    Great pictures. PLEASE, LOTS MORE!

    Your English is just fine. Much better than a 'certain party' here in the USA.

    A friend of mine was a cop in NYC. He watched an Egyptian ambassador run a red light and slam into the side of another car. Naturally, he went over to sort things out. When all was said and done, he was the one who got into trouble.

    On the other side of the coin, about 25 years ago, my then girlfriend and I 'baby sat' a Danish consul's home. His car came in the bargain. But, he warned us that the Danish government paid all fines and that the culprit had to cough up the gold. I was a good boy.
