Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"It's not that I disagree with you on this particular subject. You're just such an ass. So please shut up."
I'm getting into trouble because my stance is too often "It's not that I disagree with your conclusion, but the method by which you state you arrived there is faulty. Please show your work."
That's really not popular. Who would have thought?
Oh, I meant to say -- awesome picture of you and your new bow, Liese!!
Don't magpies get distracted by new shiny things?
Magpies are more collectors, though. They're nature's hoarders.
Flibbertigibbet is n awesome word.
And, dcp, it's amazing. It's so smooth, and it's got 80% letoff so it feels like I could stand there forever. It's super adjustable in both draw length and weight, so I can play around with it while I'm getting set up.
Eta: thanks, Jen!
I kind of thought so, sumi, but then my definitions were "chatters noisily," and "collects indiscriminately," so I wasn't happy with it in the context I was using it. Though, getting distracted by the next shiny new thing could lead to indiscriminate collecting, so...
That's really what I was going for, though, you nailed it -- distracted by shiny things.
Magpies are more collectors, though. They're nature's hoarders.
SHUT UP WE ARE NOT ooooh shiny thing to go with the rest of my shiny things!
t maybe I over-identify with magpies, okay?
It's the black and white color scheme, isn't it?
That's part of it, yes.
Plus, anytime you say, "The whole purpose of literature is to elevate," I want to smack you.
The purpose of literature is to entertain. If it does something more, it's a bonus. If Homer intended to elevate, he would have left out Achilles and come up with a better reason for the Trojan War.
Also, it would be difficult to name a classical author as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. They're dead.
