Well now, I didn't say that.

I also didn't not say it.

Woah, should've never agreed to dress up as Vergere this year.

Take care,
Abel

Uh.... wow. That must have taken a good deal of convincing by whoever it was who came up with that idea.

It must have taken a good deal of feathers, too.

I'll just throw on an old chicken suit and slap some pigeon feathers on.

You know I'm a sucker for older sources.

My mother. She talks just like Vergere.

Which is to say, Cantinflas.

Take care,

Superficially. Or, rather, vice-versa.

This form of speaking, incomplete and/or needlessly complex sentences, fully of punny language, intentional misinterpretation and reversals, yieled the the Spanish verb cantiflear, taken from the name of Mario Moreno's most famous character. To watch Moreno but especially to listen to Moreno is one of the great joys of life.

A non-ironic version (definitonally, at least) of cantinfleando goes back at least to the Greek sophists. The speech pattern superficially resembles that of Vergere, not to mention post-modernese.

Take care,
Abel

AH-HA! mischief

I found the real reason the article was pushed back! Abel needed some GG info from a new source: Star Wars Transformers. Yes, you read that right.

The wheel bike was actually a disguised backup droid body for Grievous in case the first one failed, thus requiring Grievous to keep it close at hand, just in case. happy

An appropriate analogy would be Lobot riding a big-ass version of his headband thingy. Or perhaps numerous regular-sized duplicates that had been assembled, Lego-like, into a vehicle.

I always did think, ever since seeing Episode I, that Lobot's headband implant thing was shaped an awful lot like Darth Maul's speederbike. thinking
