yeah, yeah. cum is Latin for with. (2 yrs hs, 2 yrs college) but who, in translating between 2 languages is going to throw Latin in the mix? asking for trouble if anybody should ask me. God knows he gets what he deserves on this forum.

Oh yeah, another thing about Malaysian is that the mode of Chinese dining where a pot of boiling water is provided at the table for diners to dunk raw morsels in is called “steamboat”. I believe it’s called “hot pot” by some other English speakers. Both terms being equally uninformative as to what it actually is…

Malaysians have a terrible habit of using the Latin “cum” too much and redundantly (e.g. “bridge-cum-overpass”), but the worst part is that we actually PRONOUNCE it that way instead of “koom”. I snicker a lot when I listen to newsreaders back home.

AAAAARGH! Ghastly memory comes back – was sitting up in the middle of the night unable to sleep after a round of knee surgery, and some not-WWF-anymore came on, and one of the, er, participants was wearing GOLD LAME TIGHTS. TIGHT GOLD LAME TIGHTS. Either that, or someone spray-painted him from the waist down. JEEZUZ SUFFERING FECK I’d forgotten about that – until you reminded me. Pass me the mind bleach, Eunice, before I have one of my funny turns…

Yes, Some Guy, you’re completely right – permit me to join you in your intellectually superior bubble for a minute and and guess that whoever submitted this as Engrish is a cave-living hunch-backed troll who never finished reading in Grade 5 and didn’t recognize ‘cum’ as a Latin word… so yeah, it’s an Engrish FAIL

Poems, limericks, and haiku are fun. If you don’t have a complete thought, post what you have and others might build on it. This site is like playing with HE in a land fill. It’s fun setting it off and you don’t know what is going to come raining down or from which direction.

Ah, the life cycle of the North American Steamboat, the miracle of mother nature. As the dinghies mature, they must constantly watch out for schooners, their main predators. The mother steamboats will return to protect the hatchlings, but they can only do so much.

There was a young man named Brent
With Peyronie’s disease; it was bent.
It did cause some trouble -
It bent around double,
So that instead of coming, he went.

I now have a mental image of Sir Davy Attenborough, crouched behind a shrub on a river bank somewhere, earnestly whispering this explanation as the little dinghies hatch, and deploy their oars (which will of course be shed when they are mature) and go rowing off downstream on the spring melt flood to feed off the holidaymakers and fishermen in the river delta, where they will slowly grow up, and then return, when they are fully matured, steaming up river to the mating grounds, where the breeding cycle will begin again.
