How do I know that I'm not?

You can't.

Oscotarach would have been seen as a benevolent helper who removed the memories from the dead so that they would not recall their past lives or long for life itself...

Hmmm
Too much Leonard Cohen is never enough.

Hmmm
it is with some amusement i monitor the shenanigans currently on display in this otherwise intellectual community. please excuse me if i am unable to participate; my interests tend to sail above such juvenilia. i would like, though, to inform alan that i am impressed by his knowledge of the head piercer. this gives me hope for an eventual return to a more scholarly interaction.

As a former student of Sociolinguistics, I am curious about the above post and I have a question: what sort of accent/dialect is the above post meant to represent? If I had to guess, I'd say British Lower Class Hooligan, tinged with North-Eastern American Gangster. Am I close?

allow me to offer assistance until oscotarach returns. no, you are not too close, my dear. it is a language that goes by several names, including afrikaan, hiphop, jive, etc. - but most commonly today as 'ebonics'.

Ah, yes, of course! The "crazy bitch" should have given it away, as it was rather incongruous with my suggested dialects.

Is crumbless bread the best thing since sliced bread? @bakeinspace’s @smarcu explains their concept.
Is sacrum-less vertebral column the best thing since a pierced head? @nonlegaldoors doesn't care for anything, so don't bother asking hymn.

I wonder if smarcu (= sacrum) knows oscotarach (Biblically or otherwise).

It certainly looks like they went to the same school.

thank you, lisa, for your comment. that is the first time i've seen the word incongruous in this forum. well done! :-)

thank you also to alan, for a cryptic message that i have yet to decipher. you know, perhaps, that leonard was well-versed in the antics of the head piercer, and wrote about him with considerable enthusiasm?

If you were a fan of the TV show, "Dr. Who" you would learn all about dialects

for example, watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN19oHT ... =minetruly

Very informative and highly educational. Thank you for today's lesson!

Geoffrey should be pleased that we have returned to a more scholarly interaction.

Years ago Geoffrey sent me some doggerel he had composed over"more than 38 years". Apparently, it was a dedication to his admiration for me. His words were "hey Michael, this is a dedication to my admiration for you". He debated sexual congress, or "in congruity" as he regularly termed it, but I refused to weaken in his presence.



"I consider you a saint and everybody has loved you
I study all night in your school
You have the greatest ever beauty of any lover
you make me act like a fool
And just when I was sure that your Evian waters were pure
you poured it all in the pool
Your body is wonderful but your back makes me forlorn with envy
Your spirits are diluted to help me not drool"



Another day he predicted there would come a time when I wrote the best ever forum "witty thingy" with une playe de words about "congress". He acidly continued "no-one will appreciate it, Mike. That's the way Life goes".

What an odd but loveable little scamp he was in those days.
