Translations by Dolf.

I come to the thread late, only to discover that you clever thing managed to answer all of the questions without any help from me! I feel so redundant :(

Oh god - I was just talking out of my arse and filling in time till you got here.

Please feel free to set the record straight about anything I may have imagined.
 
I don't know. I read Dante, once, and it was like walking through knee deep mud.

Ah well, what it is to live in a world with such glorious variety of people. I love Dante. But, I am veering off topic, and you are a moderator, and I have been told such offences bring down the wrath of Satan in this board of relentless self-moderation. So I shall make a noise like a hoop and roll away.

Eh, I moderate SRP and AmPics. Unless your uploading hardcore or underage porn, I'm good. ;)
 
Brilliant author.

Pratchet, not the Pope.

He also has the best explanation of sin.

"And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
"It's a lot more complicated than that--"
"No it ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."
"Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes-"
"But they Starts with thinking about people as things…"

I had to Google that one to refresh my memory. :eek:

Small Gods.

Yes:)
I actually couldn't remember where it came from, and I've got the feeling I read Granny saying something similar in another of his books.

It just stopped me in my tracks when I read it because fuck me if that doesn't just sum it all up.

Yeah, Pratchett does that a lot. You're rollicking along, laughing at the wonderful silliness, and all of a sudden you have to stop for a minute and think, because he's just made perfect sense of something that's confused you for years.

Doesn't he just? I think he's a brilliant brilliant man.

Oops and when I checked, the sin quote was from "Carpe Jugulum" - the one about the vampires.

Someone made him a huge breakfast. He said they figured he needed feeding up. He's lanky, so I figured it was similar to the term 'fattening up.'
 
...

I recently tried to think of how a British guy might refer to/accuse another guy of impregnating a woman. Google helped a little bit by giving me "Did you get one of your clients in a family way?"(because the guy he's talking to is a male whore, you see). I don't know if it's even common or what dialect would be appropriate(because the United Kingdom apparently has different strains of accents, just as much as US does comparatively with north/south). It'll get ironed out in the editing process but for now, that's what I put down.

A couple of versions:

Did you put her in the pudding club?

Has she got a/your bun in her oven?
