One of my fave phrases would be

"Der Trend geht zum Zweitbuch..."

which loosely translates as

"The current trend/fashion is owning a second book..."
(which basically makes fun of people that own a single book at most that they probably haven't even read...)

np: Underworld - Born Slippy (Nuxx) (Second Toughest In The Infants (Disc 2))

I'm sure that's a line from a Pink Floyd track called "Several Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict."

My favourite saying at the moment is "You're my wife now", courtesy of Papa Lazarou.

Funny that. I never heard about the rhymes, but I do know where Foix is (préfecture of Ariège, code postal 09000, and all that). Might be one of the smallest préfectures of France too. Erh, well.

For me, it's "frobnicate", of course.

You knew that without looking it up? Seriously? Foix is tiny and not really in anyone's way. Kinda important historically with the Catar's and all but yeah. Pretty much just a castle on an apple core (the king's men spent 10 years digging up the mountain that supported the castle).

But yeah, 09 it is. Quite a big "county" if you count rocks as terrain.

Question is at this point... can a baby truly doom a yam? Or is it just a question of allowing such a thing to occur?

What if the baby is not moody but the yam... is? May the baby still doom a yam? Ethically speaking...

I guess one of my favorite phrases is "Unicycles have wheels", just because it's given me something to write a dissertation to about.

Reminds me of Ford... "You can have it in any colour as long as it's black".

[EDIT]

No wonder it reminds me of Ford. I swear I replied without seeing that you quote was Ford too. How odd...

A quote from a webcomic:
RIP Dudley
Killed by getting killed by dying of death.

It came to pass that he was fatally slain to death, that he died! and he did not survive.

Hows that for an epitath?

I believe Ford would have said "color", being American. Of course, that's if he wrote it.

I believe Jatopian does have a valid point.
Only thing is... he didn't write it, only said it and I seem to remember he said it with an English accent, but that could be speculated upon.
