anyway, here's my question:

recognizing that he is most certainly a musical genius but perhaps not, you know, an astronomer:

do you think kells had to look up space terminology to write this song, or did he have it all in his head?

if he looked stuff up, where do you think he looked... online? does he have a dictionary or encyclopedia at home / in his office / at the club? or maybe he called the reference desk of his local library?

i'm interested to know what you think.

is it too early to start drinking?

lxy, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:01 (sixteen years ago) link

lacking a timely response from the experts, i am forced to make my own inexpert assessment. the answer is:

NO, it is not too early to start drinking.

lxy, Monday, 12 November 2007 04:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Lingbert, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 16:48 (fifteen years ago) link

1. how did you get back on this board?
2. why are you so surly this morning?
3. even though you (seemed to be able to) puzzle out those meeting times, do you agree that it was a stupidly, annoyingly composed email?

lxy, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 17:10 (fifteen years ago) link

1. apparently, i can post at this address: questions for the experts

but not the one that doesn't log you out

2. i'm actually not feeling surly at all.

3. i feel like that email could have been written by PRETTYPIGGIE

what language is this:

Sredstev za placilo strežnika nam zopet primanjkuje. Sporocili so nam, da imamo še nekaj dolgov za nazaj.

?

jergins, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Hi Lxy!

Thanks for writing. You'll be happy to know that it's never too early for potato chips! Studies have shown that literally any time of day is a great time for potato chips.

Hope this answers your question!

All the best,

Hey there Jergins!

Thanks for your question. I've taken it up with expert linguists at nearby Columbia University, who tell me that it's Slovenian. Let us know if you need anything else!

Cheers,

is it appropriate to say, in an official communication, "this is really complicated but it's important, so stop dicking around and pay attention!"?

lxy, Thursday, 11 September 2008 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link

no

dear experts,

do people have to log out of ilx in order to post unregistered on ire, how does it work.

please.

estela, Monday, 15 September 2008 02:29 (fifteen years ago) link

esteemed estela,

indeed, people do have to log out of ilx in order to post unregistered on ire. but when you do log out, you have to remember to check the box for "remove login cookie from my computer."

which is a shame, because i really like cookies!

yours,
Lingbert

Lingbert, Monday, 15 September 2008 02:50 (fifteen years ago) link

dear lingbert,

that was very helpful, many thanks, perhaps even too many thanks, maybe so many thanks it could be a little bit uncomfortable for everyone.

estela, Monday, 15 September 2008 03:27 (fifteen years ago) link

dear experts,

does it make sense for vespas and segways to be sold in the same store? this has been bothering me for more than a week.

thanks in advance for your help.

lxy, Monday, 15 September 2008 17:14 (fifteen years ago) link

Hiya Lxy,

Thanks a bunch for your question. It's quite a doozy! But the answer is yes, it does make sense. Especially if it's a store that sells vehicles with two wheels. Hope this helps!

Keep up the good work,

Experts (max max max max), Monday, 15 September 2008 18:34 (fifteen years ago) link

dear experts,

thank you for your prompt reply. i appreciate your assistance in resolving this perplexing conundrum.

yours,
lxy

lxy, Monday, 15 September 2008 18:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Thank you Lxy! Without people like you, experts wouldn't have a job.

That being said, I need to remind you that this is a thread for "questions for the experts." Since your post didn't have a question in it, I'm going to ask the mods to remove it.

Wishing you the best,

Experts (max max max max), Monday, 15 September 2008 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link

you don't know who you're fucking with? she'll go and change the thread title?

Avienda Q (jergins), Monday, 15 September 2008 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link

dear maxpert,

does your post have a question in it?

no, it doesn't.

in that case shouldn't it be also removed in a righteous purge?

si.

estela, Monday, 15 September 2008 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link

max,

why would you want to fuck with me?

I'm sorry for the times I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I'm sorry for the times that I had to go
I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I'm sorry for the times I disrespect

I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done
I'm sorry I'm not always there for my son
I'm sorry for the fact that I am not aware
That you can't sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday
Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I am so proud to call you my girl

(Bridge)
I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I'll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me

Chorus
You can put the blame on me (4x)
Said you can put the blame on me (3x)
You can put the blame on me

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn't know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings

He got a second wife and you didn't agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own
I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief
I'm sorry that your son was once a thief
I'm sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would've listened and not be so bad
I'm sorry your life turned out this way
I'm sorry the FEDS came and took me away

(Bridge)

I'm sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I'm sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I'm sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn't anybody wanna take blame
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I'm just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I'll take that blame
Even though the blame's on you (3x)
I'll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me (2x)
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

dear experts,

i participated in this text exchange today:

friend: what nationality was pablo picasso?
me: spanish
friend: thanks!
me: are you cheating at trivial pursuit?
friend: it was the question of the day at the bank.
me: what is my prize!
......
me: what is my prize!??
friend: a high five.

so, experts, can i call bullshit? shouldn't i get the prize or at least part of it?

lxy, Monday, 22 September 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Frankly Lxy, having a good friend is a pretty good prize in and of itself!

Experts (max max max max), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link
