Worthy of Nuremberg Feb 12, 2016

Heinrich,

What you have done is a grave affront to decent people everywhere, made all the worse by the fact that you are German, and therefore eternally guilty of every brutishness by definintion, because, well, just because. May you live in undying infamy for your crimes against humandom, dogdom, the fallen heroes of the canine socialist movement, and doubleplusgood feeling-thinking-consuming people everywhere. I hope I have sprinkled an adequate dose of shame on your kibble.

Then along came the EU with its quotas and imposed a moratorium...

I doff my troll hat to you, sir. Your recent "anti-feminist" squib (and definintion misspelling) is/are hereby forgiven!

There is hope! Feb 12, 2016

The number of contributions, some made from persons I never met here, lets me hope that proz is still alive and that the "industry" hasn´t (yet) moved over to Facebook completely...

Rules and regulations Feb 12, 2016

Within just three posts we now covered ProZ Rule no. 130,387,287, Godwin's Law and blamed the EU. What's really missing now is a picture of a cute kitten. Anyone?

Ha ha... some English friends and I were once being shown round a villa in the Veneto. Our Italian guide, whose English was good but who occasionally slipped up, led us down to the basement, where there were beautiful old cupboards, worktops, cooking implements etc.

He stood in the middle of the room and announced "This is the chicken".

I think it means reading with your face.

I've tried reading with other parts of my anatomy but it didn't work.

The third dog just (the Golden Retriever) just ate everything on his way. He must have been separated from him mama too early and now can't ever feel full, never mind how much he eats, even the synthetic pet food or maybe he just has OCD.

You quoted a different number in the drying up topic. And there I was telling everyone you knew how to be consistent!
