Not entirely sure if i got that right.... are we supposed to take a significant word from the last qoute and post a new one... or something.... Am willing to be wrong.....
Yep, that's the idea. When we moved from the old boards I didn't quite understand the way these ones worked, otherwise I would've put a proper explanation in the first post. It's very confusing as it is. Actually, I've just remembered I can alter my posts, I might go and do that when I have time.
Lol
So I am supposed to be put up another quote, with a herder/god them in it?
Their ancestors came from some distance place called Gadfia, and worshipped a savage Lud. (It seems to me Luds are often the same hue as their followers.) All who would not bow down to this Lud were called Unbelievers, and sentanced to death.
And its from the keeping place, in case you can't tell [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
My gód, I'm so blind. I'm getting seriously out of touch with Ober Net here.
Anyway, I've stumbled into the fancy dress party late, but I made it! You were right, there are many interesting things I could do with my name. I had to toss up between the blind drunk and the Dread Mouse One-Eye (which was tempting) [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/>
Your quote has made me realise that I've never actually read 'Ode to Autumn', which is terrible. I always kind of assumed I had, because I knew the quote 'Who has not seen thee oft among thy stores...' etc so well. But I didn't recognise that verse at all.
Will wait till I get home to put up a new quote - I have a class in a minute, and I've wasted most of my time here looking at image results for mouse + pirate (a really surprising number of them. The current one has the added cuteness factor of actually being a picture of a mouse pad.)

The reason why I am Dani the Drunk now is because the Pirate Theme!! You guys must really be blind to miss the pirate theme [img]http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif" alt=":o" border="0"/>
Blindmouse and anyone else, how do you add characters like accented letters (can't remember what they're called). Everyone uses them to get passed the censered words and I don't know how. I wish the explanations here were as thorough as they are on lj.
wow, my spelling's really shot tonight. I mean more so than it is usually, which admittedly isn't saying much. Need sleep. now
this post probably belongs somewhere else, but meh. later will do another.
Oh, and I don't think you should be horrified about not having read 'To Autumn'. I think we've firmly established that you've read a tremendous amount of Arnold and I've read a tremendous amount of Keats. yay romantics.
Now I shall go to my maiden bed. Except that I'm not a maiden. Well yes as being female I guess, but anyway I should go. Sorry for babblings. Not drunk, just tired.
Lol

There are some key commands you can use, along with the number pad, but some of them double up with other commands and you end up backing up a page when you meant to insert an é. So I just open a Word doc and type the character I want there (you use control + ' and then the vowel, in case you don't know), and paste it in. Slightly laborious I guess, but the censor bugs me.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Errr.... one of the treehouse of Horrors... pml, i LOVE the secret diaries....
Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer were a very notorious couple of cats.
As knockabout clown, quick-change comedians, tight-rope walkers and acrobats
They had extensive reputation. They made their home in Victoria Grove--
That was merely their centre of operation,
for they were incurably given to rove.
They were very well know in Cornwall Gardens, in
Launceston Place and in Kensington Square--
They had really a little more reputation than a couple of cats can very well bear.

Wow, this game has been going fast and furious. Maeve - that C S Lewis quote is gorgeous, I'd like to read more.

What the *%#!? Vag!na is a perfectly valid word, damn it. It shouldn't need any pathetic euphemisms.

Girl thingy!!!
PML!!!!
SO what happens if I say "thingy"?
This censor is WAY too sensitive!!!

This is my favourite quote
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
I came to a place where no light shone at all,
bellowing like a sea racked by a tempest,
when warring winds attack it from both sides.
The infernal storm, eternal in its rage,
sweeps and drives the spirits with its blast:
it whirls them lashing them with punishment.
Dante's Inferno Canto V (transl. Mark Musa)
wierd just writing this i realise firstly how much Dante was influenced by Virgil (he basically stole that warring winds thing from the Aenied- 'like opposing winds fighting their wars in the great reaches of the sky' i think that's from book 10)
also writers that are inspired by this part of inferno Keates for one- his sonnet 'on a dream'
this is my fave canto- more philosophical and sad- also less gross

All well:
Ghostbusters!
There's something weird
in the neighbourhood,
who're you gonna call?
Tell me!
There's something strange
and it don't look good,
who're you gonna call?
Come on!
Seeing things
running through your head,
who're you gonna call? (GHOSTBUSTERS!)
Invisible man
sleeping in your bed,
who're you gonna call? (GHOSTBUSTERS!)
I ain't afraid of no ghost.

jean-paul sartre
*shrugs* it's straight from the essay i am trying to get through at the mo
The sea was calm.
It was peaceful.
It was exactly the moment anyone sensible should distrust.
From: the wee free men by Terry Pratchett
wanted to put down something from it before taking it back to the library.
too bad the real comic masterpieces in it are about sheep and eggs and baby birds and fighting and drinking- dispite the words 'sea' 'dream' and 'tobacco' in the last quote it was supprisingly hard to find a really good quote.
Catch the four-thirty; your ticket in hand,
Punched by the porter who broods in his box;
Journey afar to the sad, soggy land,
Wearing your shot-silk lavender socks;
Wait at the creek by the moss-grown log
Till the blood of a slain day reddens the West.
Hark for the croak of a gentleman frog,
Of a corpulent frog with a white satin vest
C. J. Dennis - 'The Quest'
