Up all night working -- anyone else up late? n/t

[Connonym]

[enigmatic]

1. always

doing my show and drinking Tea...

[Connonym]

5. I'm having green tea w/lemon. Wish I woulda skipped the lemon

tastes like hot lemonade. That's never a good thing

[SeattleGirl]

2. I'm up, but not working.

Just goofin' off.

Morning is a different story, though. THEN, I'll be working.

[Connonym]

11. Does that mean you'll hate yourself in the morning? n/t

[SeattleGirl]

18. Nah.

I like myself pretty much most of the time.

Besides, being able to work from home helps me be able to keep up my nightowl habit!

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Yo

But I wasn't staring at your boobs. Honest.

[Connonym]

6. Just the right one? ;-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Well, I wouldn't stare

at the wrong one.

[Connonym]

10. too bad, the left one is much nicer

:bounce: :bounce: (note the extra perk on the left)

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Weird

I had "Bounce Your Boobies" as an earworm this afternoon. I almost called Rev Cheesehead to holler "STOP IT!!!" x(









Which reminds me of a Stephen Wright joke, but we won't go there.

[billyskank]

4. Nope, up early

:hi:

[Connonym]

7. so you'll be able to verify that the sun, indeed, does rise today?

Our president hasn't fucked that up yet?

[billyskank]

9. Actually I'm having a hard time verifying that

since the weather here is so furchtbar as they say in Germany. x(

[Connonym]

14. If there's no sun, it's sure to be W's fault n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Is that with or without

an umlaut over the 'u'? :7

[billyskank]

17. With

but I couldn't be arsed to open the character map to get it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. That's why I made a list

of some oft-used characters.

Fürchtbar. Fürchtbar. Fürchtbar.

You use a Mac, though, no?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. It ain't fürchtbar

it is furchtbar ....

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Gasp!

Billy lied to me??

:cry:

[billyskank]

25. Nope, I was just plain old wrong

and right the first time, without knowing it.

Strike one for laziness. :woohoo:

:7

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Oh, okay

I can accept that. :7

[MissHoneychurch]

Actually

furchtbar is spelled correctly.

fürchterlich is spelled with the umlaut.

Btw, we will get that storm today. It is windy already but the main body will hit this afternoon and evening :scared:

[Connonym]

24. aw, what's a little umlaut among friends? n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Could be

a tiny little hickey...

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. So...

what do they mean? :shrug:



Edit: I'm suddenly reminded of a song we did in CCS Honor Choir one year. It was in German, and the first word was... "fuhrwahr"?

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Fürwahr

:D

furchtbar ... dreadful, terrible, awful, tremendously

fürchterlich ... dreadful, fearsome, horrid, horrible

fürwahr ... forsooth

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. I can remember the rest of the lyrics

Just don't think I can spell 'em. :blush:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. LOL

I wouldn't be mad at you for misspelling :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. No, but you'd laugh at me

And then I'd :cry:.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Awwww

I would never laugh at you ... just with you :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. No worries

I found it with the google. :bounce:

Fürwahr, er trug unsere Krankheit,
und lud auf sich unsere Schmerzen

That's the whole song. We just repeated it over and over. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

43. So you know what you were singing?

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. I remember the title now

It was translated as "Surely, He Hath Borne Our Griefs." And I had a girlfriend not long after whose mom was German. She told me "krankheit" means "illness" or "sickness," I think.

But they never did give us the translation, no.

We had another song in that concert that was in Latin. I don't even remember that one. Latin's no damned fun. x(







See? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. Yes, the Latin is really bad ....

:rofl:


Fürwahr, er trug unsere Krankheit,
und lud auf sich unsere Schmerzen

Forsooth, he carried our illness
and loaded up our pain.

Something like that. I am not too good with translation

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. I liked doing that one

It was fun trying to get the accents right — which is even harder with song. And the bass part was a real challenge. Bits of it went well into a baritone range, and we had to hold the last note (a rather low bass note) forever, and pianissimo, which really tested one's breath control.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I am up

and working but it ain't late here ...

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Whoa!

Just as I ask billy for a German lesson.

Timing is everything.

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

22. I just know when you look for me

:loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. I knew it

The Germans invented radar, y'know.

[billyskank]

35. Your spidey sense tingled

We had need of a German. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

40. I was just suddenly thinking

of Monty Python :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. So was I

When you were talking about the weather downthread.

But I couldn't find the photo I wanted that goes with the sketch about weather. x(

[SeattleGirl]

20. Good morning, MissHoney!

How are you? :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Good morning gf

I am doing fine. There is a bad storm moving over Germany today and coming night. :scared:


:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

31. Ohhh, not good!

We're finally getting some good old Pacific Northwest rain here, which is melting the snow that fell a week ago!

I hope you don't get hit too hard, darlin'.

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

33. The north of Germany will get the worst of the storm

we here in Frankfurt it won't be as bad. But bad enough.

[billyskank]

36. It seems to be leaving here now

the light is growing.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. You survived

we will survive ....
