Lost in Space?

[Mary W.]

Kela, your little ode to the silverfish is gone. Has it been lost in (cyber)space?

[Balder]

Hmmm, many of Kela's postings have been disappearing these days.

Perhaps he has moved from the role of kynic to Zen Roshi and is trying to cultivate our appreciation of wabi-sabi through making his postings especially ephemeral.

My sense is that in true postmodern style he only wants to leave a trace--something not present and yet not absent--for us to fill in, or cross out, for ourselves. Kind of like that. Or not.

[Balder]

...or cross out, for ourselves...

 

Is that why he's so chummy with X?

[Edward theurj Berge]

You didn't know? He is (not) xibalba!

[Balder]

Ah, mais bien sûr (pas)

 

[Edward theurj Berge]

Je ne savais pas que vous pourriez parler français?

[Balder]

Oui, j'ai étudié le français (et en chinois) à l'université.  Mais j'ai oublié la plupart de celui-ci.

[Balder]

Le lépisme n'a pas eu peur de ma main. Peut-être qu'il était innocent comme un bébé, sans peur. Ou peut-être qu'il aimait l'odeur d'urine ...

[Edward theurj Berge]

J'ai étoilés français en lycée et en allemand au collège. C'est une bonne chose que j'ai traducteur de Google.

[Balder]

Ah, oui, Google est mon ami. C'est mon lépismes peu curieux.

[Mary W.]

LOL you guys! I took French in grade and high school too (Catholic school with French roots, and Jeanne D'Arc was our patron saint), but sure have not kept it up well. Better at reading it than conversing or writing in it. So, Bruce,  "lépismes" are silverfish? (Couldn't find that translated) :D

La chanson française gratuite.

[Balder]

:-)  Yes, lépismes are silverfish.   Bonus silverfish song:
