Hello, GB.

[Peregrinator]

I laughed. Hahaha... probably shouldn't have. But I did.

Good point.

So who has the duckling now?

Yanno, I can't remember. I think we left it in the college apartment. I know we gave him a different one a few years later. He is by far the sanest of all of us these days. He posted here briefly as HungryJoe.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Lulz. Hiya Wat. We can be; PM me your name over there, I'll friend you.

You don't know my name there? Funny, I know yours . . . .



I'd have to unblock you first . . . .

There's a hanful of folks I know are Litizens, but I never know which is who.

Well you can think of the duck as a mascot of sorts for future generations of college students, wandering through time doing its duckly duty.

It may well have been the duck that saved him. You never know...

Look who it is! Hi, you.

How've you been? If some one's already asked you that, don't bother to answer. The thing I've always liked is the way you reply to every post....classy.

My brother's first college room had a stuffed moose head named Kingman in it. I like to think the duck is our answer. Could be the duck provoked some necessary catharsis. Or he just grew up.

I've been good. Ups and downs, you know, life and shit. But I can't complain much. And you, my sweet?

Kingman the Moose. I like it. But the duck... no name? There is a certain romanticism to him/her being the nameless duck.

Well we are often the product of our experiences, so I am sure the duck is in there somewhere. Perhaps the duck helped him along the way.

I thought I told you to never show your face around here again.....

That's why he's wearing the hood and sunglasses.

He may have named it and never told us. My brother went to Yale; I suppose the moose thing is fitting somehow.

Fine, here's a different face for you.

I can't believe anyone recognized me.

I'm pleased as punch that I remembered what HEMA stands for.

But I misremembered "pleased as punch." At first I wrote "pleased as pudding," which I imagined I nicked from its "proof is in the" glory. Anyway now I have to go look up the origin of these strange food idioms but hello it is nice to see you!

I am mindful of the fact that I owe you a missive.

My father does that. He once said "Goody goody two shoes!" conflating gumdrops and singular goody.

That one's extra easy to confuse because you could also accuse someone of being a goody-goody. I want to blame it on English but I guess idioms are universal.

Now THAT just sent me searching for idioms in esperanto, which surfaced this delight of a thread:

So, I was browsing Omniglot.com, looking for translations for "It's all Greek to me." http://www.omniglot.com/language/idioms/incomprehensible.php Each language listed there had its own version of the idiom, sometimes substituting "Greek" for Chinese or Arabic, but I found Esperanto's quite funny. Here it is:

I hadn't thought of that. There was another time, they picked me up from somewhere and my dad told me he'd learned a new expression. He says, "If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas." My mother lost her shit laughing. I'm thinking, like, "Oh."

Mom told me later that he tried to say it wrong and accidentally got it right.

Volapuk! I don't think you were born yet the last time I heard or saw that name. That's so fantastically geeky that I seem to have fallen in love with you again.

Still owe you a book.

What up, guy? Your mind is desperately needed here. If this is a drive-by, try going at a speed of 0.00000254 mph.

No you don't. A gift is a gift, not a trade. I had all but forgotten about that.

Life is good, man. Thought about you a few months back, a long weekend in the Apple. Lady P's occasional fix. My niece lives in Brooklyn now, so we got to see her, too. How's the beat in the Zumisphere?

Whaaaaat? You came through? Guy. We shoulda got together.

I know, I don't do the Facebook, but if you're on Twitter or Insta, let me know. Some very beautiful beings from here came through this past April and we had an immensely good time. Renewed my faith in this joint. Really should strive to cultivate the connections with the better minds here. The way we talk when we look each other in the eye rather than behind screens, that's realness.

My sphere isn't perfect and there's still the daily grind, but...I recognize my blessings and am living in the moments between the moments, very pleasantly. The sphere is here. I'm sphere-ing like Penelope Spheeris.

Where's your niece at in BK? The nabe? Is she paying too much for her apartment like everybody else?

I know, I suck. But this was Herself's birthday trip, so she got to set the agenda.

You need to do FB, man. It's fun. Just make a profile and friend me, I'll add you to a couple secret groups, and you don't have to do anything else. I am on twat, but I never do anything there. I think I'm following you. I agree about the face to face. Yanno, we actually like black people up here in Vermont, despite the embarassingly pale demographics. You could take a train to White River Junction and we'll go hiking. Just don't tell anyone you're from New York.

The responses to my Luxey thread gave me the same hope. I was surprised at some of the folks who popped up. Probably helped that the spinoffs are all defunct now. At least as far as I know.

I don't know where, exactly. She's a rental agent, so she gets a hookup. Met us at the Met.

Me too. Some of my best friends are black people!
