Inside, Oliver Kahn dances the can-can, accompanied by a bevy of lederhosen-clad Bavarian brass monkeys. Greengrass turns to Offside:
- So you brought me all this bloody road for this?
- That’s just a decoy, I’m trying to keep this quiet for the moment. Listen, Gigi, you've been away for a long time, so I was getting bored and I developped this… thing. Hang on, let me show you.
- What the f…?
- Oops, sorry. That’s just a test environment I created to fine tune the… oh, nevermind. Here, look at this.
- Pretty neat, hein? But look, what’s even better is that I can do it with people, you know, Pseuds. I can bring them to life. I tried it last weekend with Guitou and Marcela as guinea pigs and it worked fine. Well, Guitou’s hair came out all wrong and Marcela was a lot smaller than she should be, but otherwise it was great. All you need to do (Offside pastes the Pseuds’ Corner URL in the addres bar) is work from one of their comments on the site, and the machine… well, it’s complicated but, to put it in a nutshell, the letters and words solidify into a data stream that goes through… this… and the blogger materialises… like so…
Blinding flash of light. Greengrass stares, open mouthed…
Stumble It!

I knew it will come down to this.......not the time machine kind of stuff which is pretty good, but the Absynthe bar :"let us wise pilgrims, reach the absinthe with the green pillars....
No, no more of these pure drinks,
these water flowers for glasses;
Neither legends nor faces
slake my thirst." Rimbaud.
'"Resurrection", drops of water on a sugar, people sitting around the table watching the water stir in the absynthe gently for 2 minutes.
Patience game, or friends drinking absynthe in Antibes old village.?..and why did offside had to drop these lines right before taking off for Tahiti....?
that's not a very good likeness of me, over in the lounge, smoking again, I'm much uglier and older than...

Very nice boys. I've just finished work until October so will drink a glass of absenta (or ausencia as we refer to it the morning after) to your health before heading down to Andalucía.
By the way, that second scenario flashed by so fast that I missed it. Any chance of posting a link?
Pouf - and as if by magic, Ebren appears. Sporting a natty fur and PVC number with a wild look in his eye
"What? Who? Where?"
Ebren pauses in befuddlement, spies absinthe, reaches into his back pocket, takes out his 19th century absinthe spoon
"A shot of the green stuff please Ingrid - and does anyone know where this pair of breasts came from?"
their quail sir,
but large ones
if you wouldn;t mind handling them a little less fondly...
hair?
what hair?!
ahhh...
here you all are, decadent indeed, at this early hour of the morning.
absentia for breakfast indeed. you sorry bunch ;)
doc, i've come to regard it as a sign that it will be a good day when i start with your musical posts...
Khawuleza - absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Any more from her?
marcela
sorry I already punched this one in for the poor riders cut from the crop for indiscretions and their hope for a redemption amnesty:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsAXUuJR7J0
any quails left chef?
no apologies necessary, doc.
wore black armband the day bob died, like all my friends.
emancipate yourselves from mental slavery...
lovely, lovely.
hair? what hair?!
Is anyone in? It's nearly the weekend. I could do with another drink, to be honest.
Mimi
No ones about their all on fb!
It's a sad state of things when there's no-one around to raise a glass and bemoan life, Le Tour and flooding in Oxfordshire. I'll just retire and contemplate life's general unhappiness - tis all I can do tonight.
no!
wait.
don't go.
i'll raise a glass to floods.
or something :)
Hey Marcela - you're here. Good news that. Ever played Netball?
any chance of a drink round here?
Bit quiet in here, innit? Try this:

Zeph - great link. What do you think of this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvtDD98rK-o
mimi - netball? never.
i may be too late to share my ausencia but the thrill ain't gone from this taproom :)
Tony: bizarre, truly bizarre. But it's got to be better than Sonny and Cher.
This one's pretty cool, from a middle-aged geezer in a jacket and tie:

Marcela, I enjoyed the second glass of absinthe but why is this room full of hats...?
Oh zeph, that's great. Have you noticed how similar it is to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UpFGoJHwLI ?
I used to play netball too, by the way...
by the way, you really need to see this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eEvLzoSVsw

love the smell of fine coffee in the morning! Well you gotta do something when Le Tour is screwed and the Test match is rained off!
oh mimi, that link says you're feeling pretty bad about the tour. Try this as an antidote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK4xGum544Q
tony, your link leads me to this:
The url contained a malformed video id.
WTF??!!
reads like a well thought out reply to orsay's ludicrous notion that he hologrammed some us into actual people and ... etc.
LOL
zeph: hats? what hats?? are you sure you're not mistaking the wives?
or maybe you mean the boa constrictors that swallowed the elephants
It's the green muse, Marcela...or the little prince.
Tony, I see what you mean about the Lou Reed but the Zappa is just like totally to the max, totally.
Marcela Oh my god!!! Which link?

marcela - do you know her? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1njEBrVtY0
marcela,
zeph is right! the room was full of hats!Or may be it was one day but not the following day.
i meant this one one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AmOs-VU-8A&mode=related&search=

Nick, Mick and Rowland looking so young. Gosh, was it that long ago ....
All kinds of hats, but you don't notice them till after a little absinthe....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bqrkIP6lj4
tony, no!!! don't know her but i love her already.
how cool is she?
guitou, zeph... what are you trying to do to me?
room. what room.
Try this for gorgeousness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5CRiS8bRTw
oh mimi, that's so beautiful! I'd never heard of them. Try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV0vEISJegY
Gouti Are you Belgian?
marcela she's cooler than anyone, ever. Have you seen the second one?
Bebe, yes, definitely a good thing, great little croaky voice!
Marcela, you'll have to speak to Offside about the hats, it's obviously a malfunction in his machine that you didn't see them :)
marcela,
bebe it's so cool you lost track of the room with the hats...if zeph didn't and I didn't, that leaves you with only one place.
But...wait a minute, Zeph, where where you sitting?
Over here by the piano, Guitou, but I don't see all the hats till I turn round a bit.
On Tony's last link to the Fleetwood Mac, check out 'Oh Well 1969' too, it's in the column at the side.
We were sitting in the opposite corner inside the round "pit" where the hats were on display , they probably remove them for Marcela....
oh well... Fabulous track, zeph. Pity we can't upload here cos...
It's no good, the combination of absinthe and a very young Peter Green in that last clip has done for me...the brain is closing down... 'night all.
saw them both. first video is too sexy for words. second song brilliant.
this thread has introduced me to two (2) new female singers wot i never heard of. 'kin ace.
doc's south african mama from 66 and now bebe...
this ausencia stuff is good. but i'm going to quit before the sugar cubes get to my head :)
where is prof greengrass BTW?
Tony, who is gouti belgian?
marcela,
a little resurrection with poco de bebe no?
Not the best of the boys, but worth having a listen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrn-EQvi3Zk
Lonely Stretch is the best.
This is a brilliant film clip. Music as well.

Ebren, Ebren, how did you do that, post the direct link? Are you the only one who's allowed to, because of your special powers?
Nice song btw
Hmm, think I'd better just make it a half of shandy after last night...
also, something mellow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqDuxyGcFA8
Tony,
Something is wrong with me, I found some similarity
between bebe and cocorosie.....check it out and please confirm if I need a schrink.
Anyone can post a direct link - they just need to use a few special characters, problem is that they disappear if you type them here - so I'd have to tell over email.

"Gouti Are you Belgian?"
I really need to fine tune this machine.
"Gouti, are you Belgian?" I believe this made sense to me at the time...
... however, if you're confusing Bebe with Cocorosie, I may have to accuse you of worse.
offsidebackintahiti,
glad you made it safely and thanks for adjusting the pseudifier-
Tony,
-Gouti are you belgian doesn't make sense at anytime-there is no gouti in this taproom-and no accusation either (taproom is not courtroom).
Thanks again for bebe and cocorosie now that the machine is fine tuned I am clear about their similarity.Both are girls.
ok I've got it: guitou (Damn that absinthe. I think I've also remembered the Belgian connection. The soeur comment reminded me of that well-known game, 'names of famous Belgians'
just a little test run with an extract from a fine movie about sport and life:
Whee! it works!
That's not fair, Zeph, I want to play...
Ah, you have to ask Lord Ebren by email... and read the small print...he strikes a mean deal..
Zeph,
congratulations for your perseverance with the technology-white men can't jump but white women can play-
Tony,
more absinthe while dj zeph is sticking another bebe in the juke box? I love the way she pick up her guitar
Can't find any more of the beautiful young Bebe, but here's a somewhat older Bebe and another lady, in black tights....
Gitou - oooh, you're right, that is fab!
Do you know this bad girl?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4EMP4cxZD4
zeph,
you can't find too much of bebe, she did one album and then retired.......I think she likes doing movies.
Tony,
I don't know any bad girl!
this one seems to have more problems with cel. phone than with pakalolo.
uno mas,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTGP2-Pd7tI&NR=1
gitou - you don't know any? Poor you! Still, you've made a start with La Mala...
As for Bebe's retirement, maybe you should warn the concert organisers in Cercedilla, Pamplona, Zafra, Pontevedra, Málaga etc...
From my very limited Spanish it looks as if she's said she's not making any more records, at least for the time being?
Here's something else, erm, Spanish..
that rings a bell, zeph. Nice music although not sure about the dancing - try this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noWCwyVkBNk
-definitely Toni's flamencois is he best. Zeph would you mind to share the secret about blue typing?
Nice flamenco Tony, thanks.
btw Tony, I suggested getting the link thing from Ebren because he'll have your email address, don't like encouraging people to put their email on here owing to evil spam trawlers... if you can disguise your email somehow... or otherwise Lord Ebren will come back from touring his estate soon no doubt.
Ahh, all this Flamenco! Tomorrow I'll be living it...
So a last link. Bet none of you can resist her...

that last link may not have worked. Try this.
mimi - I think that's a record: three links and not one of them leading to anything. Was it a Zen test?
Tony,
mimi dancing flamenco, drinking absinthe and reporting on the tormented tour cannot youtube at the same time.You tube she dances.
Does this one work?

I never thought this would turn into the youtube music clip stock exchange, but then again, the machine is fairly unpredictable.
Haven't had time to check them out, will do so when my connection is a little more stable.
(You go away for a couple of months and the rats eat your phone cables, it's a sick world. Thank dog the neighbour is on wifi, her cats are useless, though)
Just in from the forest (more like a jungle at the moment) to see what you're all up to and check on the latest instalment of the Tevez saga. Hope he signs for us, he seems like a good lad - a true Mancunian, just born in another city hardly a war away.
I'm suffering from 2 varieties of abstinence - haven't smoked for over 5 weeks (own choice - my pipes sounded like a canary farm) and I hardly ever see a computer.
Glad to see you're all as mad as ever - "Guitou a Belgian", the cheek!
Spare a thought for Martin's mate in Liverpool, the old-timer who can't have a fag at the pub any more: did someone say "1984"?
Zeph,
I don't buy the rats story-this was supposed to be a reality show, people meeting people in a bar, then offside turned the script into a fictional complex situation with his pseudifier time machine. Now he is
trying to switch to a sci-fi horror show by pushing the escape button so we have a rats invasion of the taproom.In the meanwhile..........
Strangely enough, professor Greengrass is showing up reborn again after being pseudified by the mysterious machine...welcome mister clean,hope you don't mind we're all smoking here, for carlos Tevez transfer, it's next door, Marcela's room..:)
Professor Greengrass, please can you put the link to your steel band site again? I downloaded a couple of your tunes and have played them often, but there were more, and I can't find the site now.
Zeph,
this is Polynesia, all the rats have tattoos, wear sunglasses and carry longboards.
Is a longboard different from a short body-board (£10.99 from my shop)? And does anyone care about the rats? My Mouse seems seriously worried. She won't let me post comments unless reading every word I write. And Offy - Small Fierce still wonders where her fish are.
Oh guys: I think I forget to post this one - long ago when I won the sharkskin boots off Offy: should have put this on the juke box:

Speaking of Kahn...

eradj,

I'll just mention, in passing and for the benefit of others, that this is the offshoot of a conversation that begun on a GU thread and that took refuge here in order to spare the sensitivities of bloggers and com mods who may be allergic to off-topicness.
And since I'm back in silly time zone territory, I'll just say good night, for the moment.
Ah, Professeur Piaget-Greengrasse, didn't see you there (didn't expect you either, as you seem to be rather there than here these days).
I'm afraid the ending to this here piece of writing you sent me did not reach me in time. It must have landed in my mailbox just as I was landing here myself and getting ready to resume my work at the Pakalolo Institute.
We'll just have to write another one, then, right?
offside,
things landing in your mailbox, like "happy new year
2006"?.
Thanks Greengrass!
Ah, mon cher Professeur Offside,
I am happy to read that you have safely returned to your beloved institute, there to carefully tend all those artefacts so votal to the future of science, humanity and the world as we know it.
Sadly, I was unable to leave my archeolinguistical tasks for a sufficient length of time to be able to nip down to Antibes and quaff the absinthe - but in some strange, inexplicable way the knowledge that you owe me a flask of brain thinner gives me great satisfaction.
I look forward to implementing the exchange programme between our two outstanding institutions. So far, the only thing which has arrived is a container packed with (unwashed) loincloths. My research assistant, Ingrid, strapped on a miner's lamp and entered the container three days ago; we haven't seen her since.
Yours in science,
Piaget
Offside
Think its about time you guys at the Pakalolo Institute put a rest to the excessve amount of intoxicating smoking, and start considering putting foward a motion to award Professor Greengrass an honorary degree as he rightly deserves
I've offered Ingrid some freelance work cataloguing my vinyl collection. She's currently engaged, heavily with Dillenger. I think substances may be taking their toll with the alphabetisation of the collection!
is Ingrid still in the container or cataloguing for mimi? i am confused again.And please mimi, explain
"heavily engaged"......
The Honorary Degree for Professor Greengrasse is in the works, only held up by the small matter of an internal investigation which will determine whether his assistant, the lovely Ingrid, is in fact doing all his research for him, or not.
OK then, slow night in the taproom...
In that case, I'm going for a swim and then I'll tell that poulet rôti what I think of its breasts.
See ya.
I never expected...
I am deeply honoured...
Having devoted one's life to science,
one has never anticipated any reward other than the assurance that one has furthered our knowledge of the world around us...
Ingrid? He's done nothing, that lascivious bugger, except burrow into loincloths!
Offy - will this degree thing be legit outside this time machine thingy?
mimi, is that the kind of vinyl you listen to, or the kind you wear?
Absolutely, this degree will give you the right to profess your opinions and shed your lights on sports blogs worldwide.
Neat, hein?
Offy
"this degree will give you the right to profess your opinions and shed your lights on sports blogs worldwide."
You should add, "without ever again being banned" and tell those paranoid Pakalolo scholars to mind their own business and stop that internal investigation nonsense.
Hola Pipita,
the thing with Pakalolo scholars is that you can tell them what you like, they'll just carry on doing their own thing, regardless. It can be frustrating sometimes, espectially when you're Head of the department of Archeolinguistics.
Anyway, I'm quite sure the investigation will come to nothing. Nothing serious, at least. Unless re-defrocking refrocked vicars is something that can get you banned from the world of Academia...
Offy
All the same, were talking about an academic who has for years been defying the boundaries of science with his research on the art of the paribal, and the delicacies of the rein-deer gambetas. Its frankly outrageous that all this is the work of a pack of dubious academics, high on pakalolo, who can't even make up their minds if thet are investigating him for Ingrrid's services or a bunch of refrocked vicars
What can I say? My hands are tied. And as for the object of the investigation, I'm afraid I am sworn to secrecy.
Just between us, it has been whispered that Ingrid and the vicar are one and the same and that one could be seen leaving the phone booth the other had entered, followed closely by a dishevelled looking Professeur Greengrasse. Nuff said.
I don't understand this conversation at all, but reindeer gambetas sound terrifying. Are they some sort of frankenstein hybrid creature?
Dear Munni
Oh dear, this is a pretty long story. im afraid we would have to direct you to a certain GU blogger who responds to the name Pondwatching...aka Pondy, One of the sweetest bloggers on that GU den of perdition
Offy
Makes absolutely no difference Whatever excesses he may have had with vicars and bar maids of dubious sexuality
Hey, on another note, did you see Monsieur Galardou's delicate tocuhes, swirling free kicks and exquisite gambetas at the Emirates last weekend??Oh, how I miss him, think I'll be a raving PSG fan this season. Is this very uncool??Enlighten me please
Munni,
defining the exact scientific nature of the reindeer gambetas is precisely the purpose (well, one of the purposes) of the Pakalolo Institute. For this particular queries, I suggest you get in touch with our resident specialist of Austral ZooFootballogy, Professeur Pipite.
So Ingrid is a vicar cataloguing for mimi and she is trapped in a container.O.k. that makes a lot of sense.
Munni,
in case you're not familiar with the staff of the Pakalolo Institute, Guitou is our resident specialist in Logics, Logistics, Logical Positivism, and Logjams.
Offy
Thank you very much......I had just managed to divert Munni's curiosity towards Pondy amd know that you have divulged my expertise I find myself in an awkward position
Guitou
You are permanently going off topic here
Wooooow Im watching the gorgeous Liz Solari, argentine model sister of santiago "el indiecito" Solari currently at Inter, dancing cumbia in a television dance competition. Im on the verge of a nervous breakdown, urgently need some paklolo here
that's right, nothing is irresolvable....but who is munni?
Pipita,
"nervous breakdown"? welcome to the club, few days spent in offside's neighborhood south of france took a serious toll on my mental health.
Professeur Guitou,
have you been taking your medication as prescribed? Remember that if you skip a day, the consequences could be disastrous.
I might need your help in devising a custom treatment for Professeur Pipite. He is considering becoming a PSG supporter. It might be too late already, but I'm hoping he'll join me in supporting Toulouse for their upcoming EC clash with Liverpool.
Dr Guitou
I can only imagine....Sincerly wish I could have joined you guys. Heard that you had a fantastic time. Was about to ask you about the coolness or uncoolness of supporting PSG but have seen that Offy is back from the beach suggesting medications for me because of my desired affiliation to the parisino team. Whats your impression on this subject
Offy
Tolouse against Liverpool?? Off course, you didn't even need to ask that, especially after the bad tempered ironies I received from Marvin in todays GU blog after asking why the reds haven't won the league for 17 year

OffsideinMedicare,
I did forget to take my memory pill again, and if I think about taking it, then I forgot where I misplaced it.
Supporting Toulouse, nothing to loose!
btw:your friend P. Doyle did not mention St Eienne in his championnat forecast - inexcusable ignorance, the team , this year, should be a serious contender..
I'm afraid I didn't follow very closely. What happened to St Etienne in the off season?
If anyone is looking for soul medication, there's a lovely poem about Antibes by Zeph at the other place (as well as a crazy postcard from File):
http://pseudstuff.blogspot.com/
Pipita,
if you heard, we heard about you and talked about you too....it was up to you to join us, you know, using offy's Pseuds-machine, just a click away from drinking absinthe, with Picasso, Verlaine and Marcelle
Proust.
Still concerned about the taxonomy of the reindeer gambeta. Do they taste like chicken?
Pipita, I have no right to comment as what I know about the French league would fit in a teaspoon, but you really can't support PSG. You will just have to admire monsieur gallardo from afar.
Guitou
yeah I heard....but I was left abandoned in freezing Buenos Aires by you lot. Very inconsiderate. However Im glad, but also a bit concerned, that I was at least mentioned in conversation:)))
Munni
Your completely missing the point about the paribal and those reindeers, or maybe your unaccosutmed with the term gambeta...Probably your right about PSG, I'll just concentrate on Gallardo then. Dr Guitou was seeking more info about you if you happened to notice
I'm familiar with the term but baffled by the reindeer.
More information? I've been around here for months, on and off, am I really so mysterious?
Don't worry, I'll email Guitou the codes for the Pseudifier, which he can enter into his computer and thus bring Munni to life in his living-room.
Diaz from Bocca to Spain, I undestand but what on earth is wrong with Neri Castillo? going to Ukraine, at 23 one of the most talented forward in s. america is committing an unexcusable error.
munni no offense please, I just had to update the system....
good night all!:)
Guitou,
you're not fooling anyone, it's only 8pm where you are, nowhere near your bedtime.
not to bed yet but diner where no singers are allowed.
Very wise. Enjoy.
I'm off to the Sheraton for cocktails myself, very poche.
See ya.
Munni
As I said, long story. Paribal Is a combination of Pondwatching's caribeou counting, Professor Greengrass's masterpiece article published on this site in March about the game of Bandy, and Offy's fusion of the both incorporating the gambeta element. It actually developed on a GU thread which I could not posibly trace, nor remember what it was about, surely a Marcela blog. Im no specialist on the topic as Offy claims, my Phd was on a completely different subject
Guitou
Enjoy that meal
Offy
Off to the Tahiti Sheraton??????? Doesn't precisely fit with your loincloth-Gaughinite imagery
munni,
take no notice of the people who write on here!
Whilst pretending to shed light on subjects, they have continually lead shite upon them - the very essence of a high-powered research programme conducted by my head research fellow Ingrid.
If you would like to make a small contribution to our reindeer gambeta programme (around € 3 million, used notes please) you could join Pipita and myself when we let loose the reindeer to gambeta all over PSG's hooligans at their first home game of the season.
For a slight consideration (€ 1 million) I can have you smuggled into the reindeer gambeta camp run, at the Santa Claus grotto just outside Rovaniemi, by Dr. Sami Hyppiää, ex-footballer
and unwitting solo tango legend.
Munni,
if you're going to heed any of gg's advice, focus on his first sentence.
Professor Greengrass
So much for my gambeta instincts....What's the point of me trying to get you of the hook if you confuse matters even more by referring to Ingrid as your head research fellow. Assistant is as far as she gets and you know it. BTW, could't sleep last night thinking that the game was in fact called cariball, not paribal...Am I going out of my mind or what?? Must be the effects of that bloody pakalolo...And offy has the nerve to wonder off to drink cocktails at the sharaton
Gentlemen, this has been most edifying. Whatever it is Ingrid does, I hope she's well compensated.
munni,
well compensated she is in greed.
I am glad pipita and yourselves didn't fall for the temptating oratories stay alert.
"yourself, tempting oratories"-sorry for this lapsus-
Pipita
PSG - Sochaux : 0-0
Gallardo only played the last 10 minutes. Good game, apparently, lots of woodwork.
Offside,
Please don't ask about toulouse .Three cassoulets a la valenciennes please and one du pays.
Assume PSG were at home, not a very good result. Its either PSG or Bordeaux I'm going to support. That's settled
Pipita,
ASSE,
because.1 A as argentina,2S as super selection,1E as excellent.
if you need a riverplate player to support them I may arrange a tranfert for el burrito, with a call to Laurent Roussey.
Guitou
Hummmmmmm don't think that will be posible. Poor old burrito is in a clinic in Chile trying to get rid of his addictions....Come to think of it, the team I've supported most in France through the years must have been Monaco, especially when Ramon Diaz was signed by them in 1990. Think Wenger was the coach actually. Then Gallardo played there too. Marseille however had both Enzo, and before him, Beto Alonso, two of my all time favorites
Pipita,
why don't you join me in half-heartedly supporting Nice? They have no connection whatsoever with Argentina (not at the moment, anyway), they have no budget, they're crap and will probably struggle to stay up. Sounds like a fun season ahead, non?
After all, Nice is not a bad idea, you can get free tickets anytime you want.
I am very sad about ariel ortega, que lastima.
Nice is nice.
Sorry.
oh je sais nice.
anonymousse au chocolat,
tu connais l'OGC Nice?
oui moi aussi je dis:oh j'essaie nice....
l'hiver,pull over.
I'd like to play for Nice
Shit!! Thought that previous text would go under the pseud "burrito", a-la-offy, but obviously I'm hopeless...
I was the silly anobymous and elvisinvegas blogger, please don't blame offy-
el burrito in Nice, if we have to close the bars and the cafes the city will go broke.
I drink to that.
Mon dieux!! You franchtés are driving me crazy, which of you was "el burrito"?? Must have been offy this time because it appeared at exctly the same time as Guitou, but clearly making reference to Nice going broke. Im totally puzzled...Unless guitou has the fastest fingers in pseuds
Pipita,
no, I do not, if you want to use another name you have to first use your identity, post, then you may choose another username (cick on "other") and post again.
Needless to mention that I would never use another
blogger pseud, we learned recently how bad the consequences could be for using someone else's name.
btw, it's easy this way to track down the "usurpator",
Pero yo no soy el burrito.
Especially not at 5:27 pm, which is 6:27 AM in Polynesia. Moi, getting up at the crack of dawn, on a sunday? Think about it.
yo soy el burrito
This conversation looks like one of those 18th century comedies where everybody is masked and disguised as someone else.... so who jumped out of the window pretending to be the gardener, then?
zeph,
18 th century or some prose on the future of decadent poetry....if you think that this thread began
with a reference to Rimbaud and then it seems his rhymes had been blown out and the game got as usual when pipita, guitou and orsay get loose....
ps. and once again I mixed it up....sorry.
anonymous, el burrito,le bourricot.
I don't mind, Guitou, it's Pipita who's in a state of confusion... I usually know it's you when there's a string of puns left behind on the floor and people saying "who was that masked man?"
Ah pipita, if only he could have been with us at the absynthe bar.....
btw zeph, i had a good teacher as far as switching identity on pseuds.
Yes, I seem to remember somebody being a shark and a palm tree amongst other things... it's the absinthe that does it.
Guitou
Rimbaud and, later on, Piaget...Really sorry to have missed the absynthe bar. "click on other" whaaaat????
Zeph
Mind you, I been the only confused one on this blog. Poor ol Munnni didn't know what we were on about either. Where's marcela???Anyone have a clue
absInthe, correct,I always spell it wrong probably confusing with absynthe magazine.
C'est pas d'ma faute
Si Marcelle aime l'absinthe
C'est pas d'ma faute
Si Marcelle est absente
Morning,all!
Just popping in to say that you're all mad, and I won't be in for the rest of the day.
We're in Helsingborg, visiting the shrine of St. Henrik of All Hollows, and it's Mrs. GG's day: she decides what we do, and it WON'T involve me "poring over that bloody machine"...
Zeph, love - there's loads of great steel pan music on the net, so don't be content with a crap outfit like wot we are. Great bands in London and Huddersfield - try "Ebony Steel Band". Apart from playing grand music they play an important role in the local community.
GG
Thanks GG, I'll check them out. I like steel pan music especially in the summer (and it seems we're being allowed a week of summer at the moment) - but I like to listen to music made by people I know as well:)
Here's Bruce being bitter about disguises...
Bruce in his kitchen, pretty cool stuff-
Greengrass crashpans.steel band pretty much cool too.
The swedish protestant church will march for the first time in the gay pride parade in stockholm.their slogan "love is stronger than everything".More than cool.I wonder if the Pope will march disguising himself as a nun.
ohmigod I thought Offside had been avarda kedavraed.
How is everyone?!?! I've been submerged literally at the beach and metaphorically by Potter- madness. Have I lost all my credibility?
Oh wait, I lost it all months ago, you say? Well, at least I was right about Eboue being a brilliant idea for right wing.
Looking forward to reading the posts... or is it all just drunken nons, er, uh Great to be back!
gtg -
in a gay pride parade, the Pope need only come as himself.
Love,
GG
Honolulu, I've been reading it too, I refuse to be snobbish about JK Rowling, she deserves every dollar she makes in my view. Not sure about that epilogue though. Your credibility is safe with me but you were perhaps well advised to move quickly onto the subject of football...
Lulu, Zeph,
I've never read a line of the Potter books. I'm curious, though. How does it end?
As Oscar Wilde put it: "the good end happily, and the bad end unhappily; that is what fiction means."
Honolulu,
yes your credibility is even reinforced with your suggestion about Eboue, but you must have sensed that Sagna was coming to town to play behind....you like the premiership because it's as fictional as Harry Potter.
Honolulu reads Dickens and Shakespeare, Arsene Wenger read only things with X'sand O's in it.
Well, that means Arsene's been reading the fan mail I've sent him!
You've given me a great deal of confidence, Zeph. I thought the epilogue was saccharine, but I was relieved to read it- I thought the kid deserved a happy ending and I loved Snape so his canonization was just as important.
I do read Dickens, and Shakespeare, but most importantly, I've been catching up on the blogs- woohoo! two weekend cups for the Arse! Now, something BIG with FA on it to hit Jose and Sir Alex over the head with, and it'll be a good year!
Guitou, last year was more Grimms than Disney, but yes, the Premiership is pure entertainment. (slapping hands and licking lips) Bring it on.
Honolulu, you're much more optimistic than I am, I've been worrying that we've already used up our winning-things quota for the season before it's even started.
(And there's no shame in reading Harry Potter although I probably shouldn't admit that at one point I was moved to tears, in broad daylight and on public transportation)
Munni,
Arsenal could be the Cinderella story this season they have the talent, the spirit and the golden man who put this team together with a grander vision.
The three megastars clubs are in for a surprise and probably a bad one. Money is not everything.
Guitou, I want to believe that, I really do, but we had all of those things last season...
I do think we're looking less brittle than we did a year ago, and I predict that we will concede fewer goals, and score more, than we did last season...I just don't see that ultimately translating into success. Illogical, I know. Probably I just don't want to get my hopes up.
