Cluttermagnet Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 ARTHUR: Please, please! No more!

I thought I remembered them saying "nicht". You know- teutonic knights or whatever. It's a bit more glottal or palatal sound than "knee". You know-as in "das is nicht! Nicht! Nicht!..." More of the tongue up near the soft palate. Whilst thinking in abject dread that Oktoberfest must regretfully come to an end sooner or later. (What would they be doing in England anyway? Foreign exchange students?) Whatever. I must be going senile already. But please- search out for us the part about cutting down the tallest tree in the forest with a herring. That is also a classic. Demands should rightly escalate, you know. And also please favor us with the knights' new word. You know, the part where they become the knights who formerly said "nee" but now say "wiggy wiggy" (or whatever). Say the secret word and win a hundred dollars. It's an everyday word, one you might use around the house or the gair-raj or the slaves quarters. You'll be making hay when the sun shines and at midnight too, with Mutant Blue. By the way, what _is_ the maximum air speed of an african swallow? Oh knights of nee, you are truly just and fair!Clutter My thanks to the Firesign Theatre for the gair-raj/ Mutant Blue sequence;Also to Groucho Marx for the secret word;And most of all to my family for our rarely-seen strain of insanity.

A path!

Amie Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 LOL! Gotta love Python! Thanks Amie! I knew there was some reason why I like you guys so much, we share a sense of humour. Plus of course you help Mike such a lot. :POh, and how could I forget, I am planning on installing Firebird soon and know just where to come if I get stuck.

teacher Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I don't know how you can get stuck installing Firebird. It is a nice program. GolfProRM over in the Firebird area will be happy to walk you through that and Thunderbird. You folks lose me on the Python but that's okay. I appreciate a good sense of humor. Mike is fun to help. He hangs in there and keeps trying. Plus he works through one problem at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I don't know how you can get stuck installing Firebird.  Mike is fun to help.I was thinking more of the customising that I will want to do afterwards rather than the install, just love tweaking things Mike is not only fun, he is one of the most incredible people I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

It grew rather annoying after about the 6th repetition- well, perhaps the 9th?BTW where in England is that castle of amorous women located? I should enjoy researching that one personally at some point. To economize, I would have to fly coach class and forego purchasing the optional knights rescue enactment package, instead simply trusting my care to the good and gentle womenfolk. Say, what is that queue outside guest quarters about? Shift change? All hands briefing? Sitar concert?(Well, it's my fantasy, so I get to mix metaphors- or movies- as I see fit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I'm glad you posted that here and not in the ATL forum. Everyone would be running to justify why you should stick with it. If the folks on this forum can't get you up and running then I don't know. I am confident we will get this set up. Just might have to wait until some others are on line.
