seriously

[pianistimo]

ahahahha.  the radio station my daughter listens to has a very wierd announcer who takes callers who tell randomly what they are doing at the moment.  at the moment, this girl had a cupcake in her pants.  with frosting.  what do these young people do with all their spare time?  i think my 42 day posting here is time much better spent.  but, i did have to laugh about the cupcake.

[debussy symbolism]

Just be glad that that's all they do in their spare time. Be happy that that girl didn't have something else with frosting in her pants.

[ada]

or a foo-foo

[debussy symbolism]

I think the said "foo-foos" aren't as dangerous as the things that I mentioned earlier, but still are quite inappropriate for the use of children. Can you imagine a child calling up the radio and claiming about her usage of the said material of "foo-foo" nature?

[ada]

I still don't actually know what a foo-foo is.

But I think I can make an educated guess.

[debussy symbolism]

I was about to say that. I also don't have a clear undestanding of the said term, "foo-foo", but can make a conjecture, or a hypothesis for the least.

[ada]

so what are the "frosted things" you're talking about? 

[debussy symbolism]

Those are usually found at the end of the pants stuffing session.

[debussy symbolism]

Wouldn't you know Ada?

[ada]

"pants stuffing session"  ?

What tha?

come on debussy, spell it out.

No I don't know. I have led a very protected life 

[debussy symbolism]

Actually, the pants really play no role in the session, except that they no longer serve to purpose of clothing.

[ada]

 

obviously some strange american custom

[debussy symbolism]

I am not American. That is I wasn't born in America.

[debussy symbolism]

You mentioned that you were married right? You aught to know.

[ada]

I so did NOT mention I was married.

[debussy symbolism]

You so DID!

[debussy symbolism]

You mentioned youself being of around 20 years of age and being married.

[ada]

you have me confused with someone else possum 

[debussy symbolism]

What's a possum in the context that you are using right now?

On more serious terms, did you ever read Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare?

[ada]

What's a possum in the context that you are using right now?

It's an Australian term of endearment, poss

[debussy symbolism]

Endearment of what, or whom?

[ada]

Oh don't get your frosted knickers in a knot.

It's like saying "sweetie", or "pet", or "blossom", or "love", or "mate" or "you old bugger".

[debussy symbolism]

Oh don't get your frosted knickers in a knot.

What does that stand for?

[ada]

You started it with the pant stuffing reference!

Actually pianistimo started this with her cupcakes. Maybe she should stick to the bible after all.

[debussy symbolism]

Did you ever read Titus? You avoided my question twice now.

[ada]

Sorry, no. Only Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.

[debussy symbolism]

You should read it definately!!! Kind of cruel though. The ending is brutal. True horror. I also recommend Othello the moor, a tragedy.

[debussy symbolism]

Let's test you. Who said: "Ah, excellent well. You are a fishmonger." I think that's correct.

[ada]

uuuuh just wait till I google. It was a while back....

Ask me who said "when shall we three meet again" or "et tu Brute?"

[debussy symbolism]

The first one I think is one of the 3 guards from Hamlet. The second one I don't know.

[ada]

are you answering your question? or mine? If you're answering mine you are wrong wrong wrong mr smarty pants debussy symbolism.

where's the fishmonger quote from?

[debussy symbolism]

Darn, I thought it was when the 3 guards were startled because they had seen ghost of Hamlet's father. The fishmonger scene was when Hamlet began acting insane in order to have the king spill out information about the murder and not have to worry about Hamlet overhearing because of Hamlet's state, that is crazy. Polonious asked Hamlet who he was, and got that answer. Ironic because Polonious is of very high status and a fishmonger isn't a high status at all.

[ada]

It's the witch in Macbeth

When shall we three meet again
In thunder lightening or in rain
when the hurley burley's done
when the fighting's lost and won
where the place?
upon the heath
there to meet with Macbeth


Great stuff eh

[le_poete_mourant]

This is hilarious - between the two of you, you have 32 posts.  A complete monopolized conversation. 

The first one I think is one of the 3 guards from Hamlet. The second one I don't know.

The second one is from Julius Caesar.  "Et tu, Brute?" utters Caesar when Brutus, his protege and friend, stabs him in the back. 

[ada]

ha ha you got it

[pianistimo]

how did we get from cupcakes to shakespeare?  oh well, nevermind.  i love shakespeare.  the timeless quality of it.  and, yes...after i posted i thought i should have stuck to the bible, too.  forgot about the secondary meanings temporarily of cupcakes in the pants.  or, rather, frosting.  when you have young children, all you think about is being rid of diapers.  now, having a teen with a diaper problem isn't exactly a dream made in heaven.  imagined it was a birthday joke or something.  usually with 1-2 year olds you have the head dead center in cake thing.  one of my sister-in-laws cousins was given their birthday cake with no silverware and videotaped.  obviously it is more fun to eat birthday cake this way.

[quasimodo]

Who's hitting on the other one, Debussy Symbolism or Ada  ?

[pianistimo]

one of them did ask the other if they were married and twenty years old.  suppose that could be an inidcation of curiousity.  but, i highly doubt that was debussy's intent - just making sure ada was telling the truth.  the 'frosted knickers in a knot' was a surprising turn. 

[arbisley]

  the 'frosted knickers in a knot' was a surprising turn. 

comes from "don't get your knickers in a twist" if I'm right.

Anyway, I didn't really get the "smooth" transition from cupcakes to Shakespeare.

Where is this one from?

"be not afeard, the isle is full of noises"

[pianistimo]

the tempest?

[arbisley]

yep, the scene where caliban is reassuring the drunken stephano and trinculo not to worry about the tune Ariel is playing to scare them. It's one of the most beautiful speeches, even though it is paradoxically the "beast" of the island who says it.

"Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments                                 [140]
Will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that, when I waked,                                      [145]
I cried to dream again."

Interesting to have a bit about a "thousand twangling instruments"!
