Along those lines ~jwf~

Sometimes my thoughts just flow through my fingers
You often think type before you think
He only posts when he's pished

or

I'm inspired
You're floating away
She's trolleyed.



This though was sparked by the School Reunion thread:

I alert to social nuance
You are competitive
She keeps up with the Joneses


And now,

I'm busy these days
You've got a lot on
She's always late

My batteries ran low
you need a new mouse
She needs a new computer

?

I'm not sure what on earth just happened.

>> Along those lines ~jwf~ <<

"those lines" = "~~~~~~~" ?

Those are called 'tilde'.
I can only guess whether the plural is tilde or tildes.
You don't see them much anymore.

They are purely decorative. For me, they're supposed to be 'wings'
but they are too small for proper flight.

Google is blind to them.



Woohoo! I made that all about me!
You remain self aware in group discussion.
He is so modest and altruistic.

>> I'm not sure what on earth just happened. <<

Yeah! Suddenly it's all arzbackwards!


~jwf~~

Have you been drinking young man?

I know when I've had enough.
Do you want to go home?
He passed out in the garden.

<<Those are called 'tilde'.

I see them everyday

tilde in Spanish is also tilde, we use it to show the graphic accent in a word: pájaro. And in our ñ, that mark on the ñ is also called virgulilla.

Tildes is the plural in Spanish, and I guess it´s so in English too.

Yes I've decided it's just not for me, not my kind of thing after all; I wanna make better use of my time and energy.

You tried though, eh, gave it a shot; that's the main thing.

He's a quitter; never follows through; got no stick-to-it-ness, no sense of commitment.



~jwf~

I am a Renaissance man.

You have a wide variety of interests.

He's a dabbler, a dilettante.


~jwf~

I'm struggling manfully (heroically?) with an illness.

You seem a bit off-colour

He's an hypocondriac, always moaning

I have swine flu
You've got a head cold
He has man flu

I have allergies
You have a bad cold
she caught the h1n1 flu.

Oh! Bless me!

Oi! Cover your mouth!

Argggh! Here they come!

Hoppy New Year Welcome to 'o-10'


I have had an epiphany.

You had one of them eureka moments.

He has a lightbulb over his head.


~jwf~

Shagbark, I think its more like

I have flu
You have a cold
He's skived three days off work

I'm snowed right in

it snowed a bit (be careful!)

He simply cant be bothered.

On varying reactions to a very prim woman of known social responsibilties (based in large part on the moralities of her religious beliefs) being intellectually flogged like a dead horse
by the fascist atheist Richard Dawkins.



I am proud of who I am but too polite and politically correct to say what I really think of this atheistic monster.

You don't suffer fools gladly and get uncomfortable around self-centered intellectuals with transparent agendas.

She is stiff-necked.


~jwf~

We believe in a direct hands-on approach to sex education.

You assume that experience is the best teacher.

They are preaching to a molested choir.

*This was suggested by Ed the Bonobo in the Dawkins thread concerning charges of molestation by priests and the semi-official denial and coverup policies of the church.*


We were unaware of the situation.

You turned a blind eye to it.

They are covering it up.

He likes a nice walk in the countryside.

You are inspired by landscapes.

I have a deep, spiritual connection with nature.
