Do you remember how many Japanese you came in contact with during your recent trip? Ever hear of the avian flu epidemic? Shall we call you Typhoid Marky going forward?

Flash forward 6 months. Headlines for the remains of most US metropolis newspapers reads "Search for Patient Zero of the 21st Century Black Plague Ends in Florida."

BTW ... what the fuck is the plural for metropolis?

I have no idea.

I think I'm getting wiser by the second.

Apparently, Metroplises or Metropoles, depending on who you ask.

Metropoleese? Metropoloii? Metropolice?

In Italian it has not plural. Why should it have one in English ?

Me-tro-po-lis-es is the closest you're gonna get, but I prefer to use the word cities.

Yeah, but city could refer to BFE in rural NC. i'm looking for devastation on a grand scale. On an interesting side note, however, the Greek translation defines metropolis as "mother city." We could digress into "Yo mama" jokes, but i think i'll stop while i'm behind.

Wait, that's a line for DVS ...

Excellent point! And since Italian sounds far sweeter to the ears than English, maybe we should heed the way they parse their numbers.

As one was never proposed for me ... i'm nominating mine myself.


No biggy as i use what He chooses anyway, and they are always real pics of me .... but other than what He has chosen for my current avatar, & if it was not an actual photo of me ........ i like this one. It seems fitting.

P.S. DISCLAIMER: Not true to err ... 'life size' (in more than a few ways), but it does match the personality etc.

... while looking for something else.

i think they nailed Marquis with the bottom of the left column.
