The Man with the Laughs

Gooooooooood-byyyyyyye Vietnaaaaam! That's right, I'm history... I'm outta here. I got the lucky ticket home, baby. Rollin, rollin, rollin'... keep them wagons rollin', rawhide! Yeah, that's right... the final Adrian Cronauer broadcast... and this one is brought to you by our friends at the Pentagon. Remember the people who brought you Korea? That's right, the U.S. Army. If it's being done correctly, here or abroad, it's probably not being done by the Army.

In honor of Robin Williams, I've decided to forsake the rules and simple post a lot of what made him special to us: his humor and ability to make us laugh!!

Genie: [turns into a cheerleader] Rick 'em, rack 'em, rock 'em, rake! Stick that sword into that snake!
Jafar: You stay out of this!
Genie: [Weakly] Jafar, Jafar, he's our man; if he can't do it, great!

When Christopher Reeve was in the hospital after his accident, Robin came to visit him. Reeve said this about that surprise visit:

Then, at an especially bleak moment, the door flew open and in hurried a squat fellow with a blue scrub hat and a yellow surgical gown and glasses, speaking in a Russian accent. He announced that he was my proctologist, and that he had to examine me immediately...it was Robin Williams...for the first time since the accident, I laughed. My old friend had helped me know that somehow I was going to be okay.

When Stephan Spielberg was filming "Schindler's List", Robin would call him to cheer him up. I think I only called him once, maybe twice. I called him when I was representing People for the Valdheimers Association. A society devoted to helping raise money to help older Germans who had forgotten everything before 1945. I remember him laughing and going 'thank you.'"

It's working in an office working for one of the departments at uni- every year Universities in Britain must send off examples of their best research off to a central grading authority so that they can judge which university has been doing the best research and divide up monies accordingly. I am going to be involved in sending this off- to quote the interview "this is going to be relatively high pressured- you are trying to get �60 million off the Government after all".

I even used TWH in my interview. God only knows how terrible the other candidates must have been if that worked.

You mentioned it as relevant experience, or you took them on a tour of the forums?

Also, congratulations!

I've missed the whole 'remove the kebab' thing; does it involve a victim having a kebab stuck somewhere nasty (e.g. down the back of their shirt), causing them to seek assistance?

It comes from the "Remove Kebab/Tupac Serbia" copypasta which is a parody of a Serbian's attitudes towards Bosnians (the kebab) and Turks.

Quoted from Eddykins:

If you could do that, you would successfully make me play barbarian cultures constantly- for me their lack of teir 4 and 5 hamper them.. PLEASE DO IT!

Is that because of weather? or the general Scottish(rightful) desire to avoid things English?

Cricket is probably the 4th most popular sport in my area after football, swimming and rugby. Just the weather is dreadful.

I'm at the Ashes on the 11th or 12th of August

been at the last two series and they are always incredible. Glad Pietersen is back and playing well.

Nearly. Better: "... whether [pronoun + verb / pronoun + part of "to be" + adjective] or not."

or you can just leave the 'or not' off if it's not ambiguous what the alternative is.

I imagine you could manage to confuse people - e.g. 'I wonder whether I should go to S****horpe on the train', which might be whether to go by car or train; or could mean whether to go or not

Another question if we're back onto grammar - what about referring to a team / body of some sort as a plural collective of the individuals comprising it? I'm against for the most part (no offence to Scruffy for being the recent example with the Notts team) but there are times it seems natural (e.g. 'the staff are' is probably incorrect but easier than 'the members of staff are' and less odd sounding than 'the staff is'). Conversely data is meant to be plural but I'd group it into a big lump and think of references to 'the data' (collection).

Does 'grammar' lead naturally to jokes about peoples' grandmothers?
