“Except I do have a gay decorating side, or so my wife says. But I am strictly into leather (please no vinyl),” There’s a set up I’m not touching with a 10 foot pole.

“The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made.”
Jean Giraudoux
French diplomat, dramatist, & novelist (1882 – 1944) Also attributed to Louis B Mayer and others.

True though, no matter who said it.

I am 100% male. Except I do have a gay decorating side, or so my wife says. But I am strictly into leather (please no vinyl), wood, glass, stone and earth/nature colors. No pastels or other sheshe embellishments. I also have a fondness for Japanese gardens and Bonsai.

Finding someone else’s typos ain’t no indication of “superior grammatical ability.” It is an indication of a slow reader. (That would be “slow” in the speed sense.)

Oh no, we must all bow to nal’s superior anointing by the owner of the blawg. That is how we play this game. See what “jonathanturley, said on November 5, 2009 at 1:43 pm.

“Ay:

Nal may be a mad scientist bent on the destruction of humanity but he is OUR mad scientists . . . and he corrects typos. Any evil plans of world domination pale in comparison to his eradication of editing errors on this blog.”

Oh Hail nal, oh hail nal, oh great provocateur of linguistic juxtapose and as Bryon said “N. A. L. – Nadir Al Locution” Oh master of the blawg, allow me to correct the errors of my days.

lol

Nice one, Byron. Got to love the translinguist puns.
******************

Buddha, why did you not just call him/her a hermaphrodite? Translinguist!!!!!

Hmmm. Duke Ellington. Now that man had style. And slipping in the lounged up Love Boat theme into a set? That’s just awesome! I had a buddy who played in a funk band and about every third show they’d whip out the “Theme From Rawhide”. Yeah, they stole that gag, but it was always a hoot. I can just image the results for the Boat. I hope your singer does it in the style of this great lounge master, Nick:

Note that that is Paul Schaffer with hair playing piano.

As an anecdote to Buddha’s song:

I keep a copy of the theme from the Loveboat in my combo’s book of charts. Every now and then we whip it out and play it as loungey as we can, and then take it up to a little under triple time for the solos.

That always gets laughs.

Nice one, Byron. Got to love the translinguist puns.

Sounds plausible to me. After all, I was schooled on that old saying: “The pen is mightier than the sword.”

BTW, I’m a proponent of weapons of mass instruction. I was one of those weapons until I retired from teaching a few years ago!

“What if I told you that Nal is also a proofreader for the magazines Sada al-Malahim (The Echo of Battle) and Sada al-Jihad (The Echo of Jihad)? Bear that thought in mind.”

So his grand plan is to infiltrate this website, gain the Professors confidence and then strike at the heart of the infidels using superior grammatical ability as his weapon of mass instruction?

N. A. L. – Nadir Al Locution

Nice try though

What was that you were saying, Lotta?

nal–

Here’s another little rhyming ditty about the grizzly bear for you. I wrote it many years ago when I was teaching elementary school. I just made a few changes to it so it would fit the story better.

GRIZZLY BEAR

I’m grizzly bear. I’m fierce and fat…
And dangerous. Remember that!
My teeth are sharp as sabers.
My curvy claws can cut like saws,
And when I prowl my cage I growl
And frighten all my neighbors.

I rule this place. This zoo is mine!
I ain’t NOBODY’S valentine!
Don’t think that you can be my friend…
My dinner?
Yum!
GULP!

The End

When I assumed that nal was a female, he quickly corrected my error. Otherwise sir, your statement is correct.

You know nal could stand for National Alliance of Librians.

do we know with certainty that nal is a he? If we dont isnt it a bit sexist to assume?

Nal may be a mad scientist bent on the destruction of humanity but he is OUR mad scientists . . . and he corrects typos. Any evil plans of world domination pale in comparison to his eradication of editing errors on this blog.

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Whoooa. Mmmmm.

/Now I won’t be able to get that damn tune out of my head for the rest of the day.

Nice job, counselor! That’s crafty arguing.

Now, just do the right thing and make sure your boy gets the mental help he needs too.
