I approve.

You insult my wife and now you want a favour? How about I change your username to Putin?

It seems absurd nowadays, but I was actually taught that this was the proper way to use a fork when eating peas, at least when we went to my grandmoth...

Me too as it happens. No problem.

I don't know. None of Bart's posts seems to deserve moderation on its own, so if he/she is as disruptive as you say, the best thing would be for every...

He was also arguing that propositions in general cannot be true unless they're known.

The sun's come out so that's nice. Tell me about it! :chin:

I thought that was obvious.

Verily, 'tis hearty fare.

160 pages in and I'm finding it totally absorbing and enjoyable.

Good point. I just remembered that I am a buffoon, and thereby ill fit to judge of buffoonery.

Someone here is a buffoon. I'm not ruling out the possibility that it's me, but I don't think so.

...where "correct" apparently just means "the answer I want".

There is no way we can know what kind of answer you are looking for, given that you reject correct answers.

If it's correct but not "the intended solution", then there's a problem with the puzzle.

You could post before and after the makeover.

It's live already, some way down the main page.

Yeh it's quite important. A stew can look a mess, but appropriately confined and with a sprig of cilantro on the top, even it can please the eyes.

I encourage you to undertake that journey unaided.

Sometimes a chicken is just a chicken.

I enjoy watching videos of people being attacked or chased by chickens and geese. There is something very funny about it, and nobody gets hurt.

If only they had been, they could have flown away. When wild geese flew overhead, migrating north and south, our geese would stop what they were doing...

Mallards have a mocking laugh though.

Yes, certainly in comparison to geese, of which said Californian had three. The noise they made made me anxious and distressed.

I assume so. My Russian isn't great but I can recognize a cartoon picture of a duck.

Nah, I had that much meat from my duck at New year.

Yeh, I was a little suspicious. Blame the NYT. On the other hand, ducks vary.

Pretty good :grin:

I was thinking of a sitcom. There was a Muscovy duck couple there as well, called Elvis and Priscilla, although Priscilla kept disappearing and being ...

I was once the joint custodian of a Californian fellow's black Indian runner duck. I called him (the duck) Daffy but it wasn't his or her real name. I...

One would think we hadn't had a whole conversation about my roast duck just a few weeks ago. Plenty of meat on a duck. /uploads/resized/files/bv/5i49e...

Spooky :chin:

Thanks for going into such detail about the problem. Maybe I neglected to turn on spookiness prevention this morning. I did notice earlier that the si...

TheMadFool is posting from a new account: @"Agent Smith".

What an odd thing to say. Kindly wait till I've read the papers, just as I waited for you to respond to my last substantive post. I'm still waiting fo...

Yes, his stories are pleasingly unsettling.

Cold Hand in Mine by Robert Aickman

Accurate.

Of course.

Me too. I'll read it some time and say something about it here.

She's the best interpreter of On Certainty that I know of. :up:

That's one way of looking at it, but it seems to me you don't know much about it. Anyway I just wanted to make a quick point that it's a disputed acco...

Still peddling that dumb conspiracy theory? Although it's interesting that a while ago you presented it more as a mere possibility, but now present it...

I'm surprised you have one. I've always imagined you crouching over the cadavers of old rats, picking at the scraps of flesh left by the crows.
