Back to Dimensions

HELOOO!

Just a quick hello to anyone who remembers me.
Just returned from a a pretty wild trip to thr States, and finally got broadband working again - therefore will be hanging around here I gues.

Nice to be back home, I see the decorators have been in whilst I have been away.

I still remeber 1995.

Hmmm, the name is familiar, but then, my memory grows more crowded all the time. More and more things sound familiar.

Perhaps it is just the passing of time.

And I remember 1998, so there.

Also, i think i remember you (although i was only lurking at the time...) - welcome back!

Um, there's that little apostrophe catastrophe.

Sue (just being a friendly wise ass)

if we're going to get pedantic, then can I point out that the word 'hello' was invented by an American...

I'm a French / German mutt by heritage, and thanks to my grandparents I can speak those languages halfway decently. If you think it's fun to hear Britons, Americans and Australians argue about the English language, you ain't heard rien until the French and the Québécois go at each other. Art & I were on vacation in Paris one year, and there was a group of French Canadian university students in a café. It was lunch and a show, as some locals made fun of the way they talked, and I had a hard time explaining to Art why I was laughing so much. On the other hand, I've also seen French tourists in Québec City treated with the utmost respect because their language was so pure.

Sometimes the Germans, Austrians and Swiss have fun too.

Yeah, if you want to get a German to snort their drink out their nostrils just say "Gruetzi". And if that doesn't work call something "grell".

Thanks AnnMarie. Yes, all is well. I picked up, dusted off the debris, and dragged my sorry butt back to the Dimensions forum. I'm glad to see that there are still some familar faces here. It's been awhile.

Oh, and Ataraxia (others can ignore this lest they become confused), I wouldn't count on the one in a million figure you cite. My own personal research shows the numbers to be highly flawed. A full 23% of Discoridians have yet to play Sink. See my article in the Summer 2004 issue of Eristotelian Philosophy.
