5:th

I just love that. It's so Scandinavian.

 

[minsue]

It's 5:th of July over here.

So stop celebrating this instant everybody!

I wonder if that'll get me out of the family shindig...

(The fireworks won't even start for another 4-5 hours here. Sun's still bright as ever. )

Ok, that one whooshed past way above my head.

Or in other words: Huh?

I know nothing of Scandinavian, but in many countries the date would simply be written as 5th instead of 5:th.

I kinda like 5:th, though

Or in other words: Huh?

The use of a colon to separate a root word (numbers and acronyms, usually) from a suffix. I have only seen Swedes and Finns doing it.

As in 'YTV:lle annettaissiin' and stuff. I think it's cute.

 

[minsue]

I think it's cute.

Agreed

Fireworks?

Oh.

I thought there were just an unusual number of shootings.

 

[shereads]

Fine suggestion, Ogg. It would be good to have a head of state who really did speak the Queen's English.

p.s. Happy Birthday to Remec [/B]

Yes, but then there's Charles.

Remember that awful phone call to Camilla, where he got all romantic and said he wished he could be her, um, female hygeine product?

That's not that big a step up from Billy Carter.

Fuckin' 4th of July...

Well that is the idea here. Just got back from a big dinner followed by the towns large fireworks show on the Intercoastal. Now we are relaxing for a few minutes before making some fireworks of our own to celebrate our aniversary.

Thanks for this P. I fear that the masses this sort of message should reach are not libral enough to browse Lit.

Are you serious?



You'd be surprised how many neocons like a little porn with their Hannity.

True story: when the movie, "The Madness of King George II" was released in the U.S., the distributors dropped the II. They were afraid we'd think it was a sequel.

I did not know that. Great 4th of July memorial. P.

p.s. I saw "Shrek the Second" tonight cos F9/11 was sold out in the two theatres of the megaplex. Will try again soon and bring a book for the queue.
