Slowly catching up on my Whiteboard comic reading... and I come upon this master of the understatement:

(It's part of a Sherlock Holmes story with the cast of WB)...

Yeah... wouldn't want to jump to conclusions, now, would we...

It is indeed very likely that some people may have used "TA GUEULE" to quiet down a group of people. Of course, they were wrong in doing so... "Ta" is absolutely and definitely singular. And like I said, I'm not sure "Fermez vos gueules", while grammatically correct, i...

And my first-year high-school French teacher (from Paris - that was the last year she taught French, after that she was strictly an English teacher and for 2nd year I got a Canadian lady who hadn't studied French at all before college) told us it was formally (or plurally) « taisez-vous » and infor...

Hey lake wrangler how's the weather in Quebec? We had a high of 72F today, finally getting some fall weather here in TX. It's been averaging around 5°C (41°F) at night, and 15°C (60°F) during the day, although we have had a few days of over 20°C (68°F), and one of 25°C (77°F), at one point. Fall co...

I figured it out! THanks - I'll fix those. I posted that this morning so folks could have a finish to it. I have heard "TA GUELE!" used in that manner. Really, all he's doing is making a loud noise to get their attention. Thanks! Like I said, I'm not sure "Fermez vos gueules" is ...

Just saw this bumper sticker, last week:

"Yes, officer, I did see the speed limit sign. I just didn't see you."

Right below that, was this one:

"My driving scares me too"

I'm a very humble person... it's my best quality... In fact, I am proud of my humility...

Fixed. I had forgotten that after a reinstall, Excel didn't trust me yet. (But I told it to, so now it should.) (Gee that sounds like fantastic security.) That's easily fixed. Configure its security so that the trust feature requires you to unlock it using facial recognition and your laptop's webca...

Fixed, thanks.

I also rewrote the stuff before the list, and added a copyright statement.

Now I can't even find the fanfic listed at all, let alone the discussion thread! Help!

The Redundancy Department of Redundancy would like to point out that there is pretty much no other kind of fool...

I'll either have to ... go eccentric ... And then you wonder why people give you odd looks... :mrgreen: Deposits a copy of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass into the pun jar (seeing as it was the first book at the top of the list of eccentric books on Goodreads when I looked...) 2022-10...

I'll see what I can do about that. And forum-page counts.

EDIT: Done!

Thank you.

(Sorry...)

I will release the items to the authors. I only keep copies for myself for reading while offline, as it keeps me from having to dig through these forums for the stories. Do you realize that the fanfic index list makes any kind of digging altogether unnecessary? Particularly since the index list has...

I had just read this fanfic a month ago... but since I just finished reading the Dark Knowledge fanfic, I decided to read this one again, as it can be seen as a sequel to the other one.

It was just as enthralling as the first or second time!

I was wondering why a story was being referenced in earlier stories, while not showing up yet on the list (i.e. as I make my way through the list, reading the stories "in order"...), and I found that in the list, " Dark Knowledge " is being listed as starting on 12-14-201 6 , whe...

I was thinking of going back to my ship and turning off the gravity to sleep in pollen-free air, and no pressure points where I sleep. Some people don't like sleeping in microgravity because it gives them bad dreams, but I mostly dream of flying in zero G. I also don't toss and turn because with no...

As I have mentioned a number of times, now, I've been going through the list of fanfics, re-reading them in the order they are listed on the fanfic index thread , and one thing that made me laugh was that at one point, before the Full Disclosure fanfic was written, discussion was being had of doing ...

Not to cast aspersion on Becky's fine pastries, but I figured I'd also share with you my bread pudding. It is firmer than what I usually find in buffets, and it goes well with the maple syrup I brought earlier. Whenever we have some form of pot-luck dinner at my church, that is what I bring, and peo...

Yes.

YOU are more-or-less harmless. Others may not be. I do not need to inflict some malicious moron on these poor folk.

I'd like to think that I CAN cause harm, but am not very likely to do so...

Faux-outrage/indignation aside, I do like the way you write your fanfics: even as you are making stuff up, you are "keeping it real", so to speak. By transposing this fictional universe into ours, and including names of real places, streets, highways, and so on, it makes your make-believe ...
