ArchivesRe: Roman to Greek translation request?
in reply to a message by Friends in Low Places...
Actually, I credit Nan's arrival not to any supernatural connections of mine but to the spin all over the 'Net about the vibrant discussion and snappy patter that pervades this site. It was only a matter of time before a person of her caliber found us.
@@@@ Hmmm... Well, besides us "Three Caballeros" (with an occasional "howdy!" from Mike C.) this place sometimes seems like a stopping-off point for cyber-transient teenage moms (or aspiring teenage moms). Have to admit, though, that sort of activity seems to have declined somewhat over the past few days. Must be that the home economics teacher who takes her class to the school library to use the 'puters there has noticed some unsavory talk about Satanism on this website lately. ;)
On the other hand, Satan or someone may have had a hand in somewhat curbing the tongues of our own PowerPuff Girls. It HAS been quieter lately.
@@@@ Ah, all kids are well-behaved when Christmas is just a couple days away. BTW, you do realize, don't you, what "Santa" is an anagram of? :)
But life is strange, and intervention (good and bad) is unpredictable. Yesterday I got the results back from a biopsy that my doctor had been very casual but insistent about doing. After telling me everything was okay, he said, "I'm surprised. Five out of six people with your blood test numbers turn out to be malignant." I was really up the rest of the day, altho I couldn't figure out "why me?" "The Grace of God", my wife said.
@@@@ I'm glad for you that everything turned okay, Daividh. I send positive energy your way for continued good health. :)
Good enough so far. But this AM I packed the car for the 300+ mile trip back to 12 days in NC. As I pulled out I lowered the driver's window to check the mailbox one last time. The window stuck solid only halfway back up. (Did I mention it was 3 degrees F with a wind chill of -17?) Seven phone calls to auto glass places, 20 frigid miles of driving there, two delayed hours, and $20 later, I finally headed home.
@@@@ The gods are sending you a message! Stay out of NC! "NC" stands for "Not Cool". And, thanks to Che, we now all know what "KY" stands for. :)
My wife may have been wrong. If there was a supernatural influence in the last two days, it could well have been one of the Greek gods, who were notorious for handling you a laurel wreath with one hand while sliding a whoopie cushion under you with the other.
@@@@ Those Greek gods use human beings as chess pieces in their games! I saw it in an old Ray Harryhausen movie, *Jason and the Argonauts*! Those Greek gods cheat at chess, too! I swear I saw Zeus palm a pawn that looked suspiciously like Al Gore...
[Bart Simpides? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]
@@@@ I knew you'd get that. :) Don't know if the Simpides Family has ever appeared on Hellenic teevee, though.

Aren't you referring to that Greek-American Homer fellow?
