New Question&Answer Thread!

Al Pacino. It's all about charisma. Anthony Hopkins is up there as well.

Why can't my hair stay straight? It looks infinitely better after a shower.

 

[Child of Time]

A: Because you are fluffy?

Q: What does 'spago uomo' means?

 

[Strider]

A: Uh... absolutely nothing, I think In italian, "spago" is "string, twine", and "uomo" is "man". It could be so the "twine man" but the correct italian sentece would be "uomo spago". Of course, if it were a quotation of sorts, I don't know...

Q: why did I forget to write a question in my last post in an eloquently named "Q&A" thread?

 

[rahvin]

A: nothing. but let's give you a little more attention than that.
"uomo" is italian for "man", and that's it. "spago" is an italian word as well, and it might mean "string" (as in, a thin rope) or - in some dialects/cultures - it could be short for "spaghetto", the singular form for the popular kind of pasta, "spaghetti". in either case, we have two nouns one after the other, which is rarely a construction with any meaning in italian. one such rare case involves the word for "man", in expressions similar to the english machine man. however, this solution (some sort of spaghetti man) doesn't work in the case in point, because the italian language, unlike english, builds to the right of the main noun in a phrase, so spaghetti man would in fact translate to uomo spaghetto.

ah, strider beat me to it! no matter, i've had so much fun i'm not gonna delete the above.

A2: maybe you're in love?

Q: are you in love?

 

[Arch]

A: I don't know. I wonder about that myself.

Q: You?

 

[Strider]

A: Yes, I'm deperately in love with the wrong woman, and I've been for too many years now

Q: is this forum going to become some sort of girlie magazine where we'd speak of broken hearts?

 

[rahvin]

A: it certainly would, as it has in the past, mainly when yours truly was the one with a broken heart. but since mine is finally pumping steadily and happily as of now, this forum will become a magazine full of gardening tips on how to raise beautiful begonias. :Spin:

Q: how should we revitalize this board?

 

[Child of Time]

Strider, rahvin: There're a clothes shop here in Gothenburg named Spago uomo, that's why I was asking.

A: I don't know. It's difficult to accomplish anything like that. I guess it have to come spontaneously. I don't know if I missed something, but suddenly a whole gang of regulars just disappeared from here (like Spike, Magsec4, Rusty, Ethereal sage, yayo).

Q: Do you have any suggestions?

 

[rahvin]

Strider, rahvin: There're a clothes shop here in Gothenburg named Spago uomo, that's why I was asking.

then it might mean "spago for men", where spago could even be someone or something's name. it doesn't really add up to anything, but clothes shops names hardly do.

 

[Strider]

@ Child of Time: oh I see... be kind to the shop's proprietor and tell him the name is rather silly... I'd never buy anything there!

A: the guys in DT (Niklas and Mikeal sometimes post here don't they?) could offer an all-inclusive week in their homes with repeated listens to 'Character' (and plenty of alcohol and lascivious girls/guys) during Christmas to whoever writes the beast message.

Q: why does my laptop crash when I open a powerpoint presentation with a white background? (yes this will not revitalize the board... )

 

[Ethereal Sage]

@Stider: What exactly constitutes a 'beast message'?

A: I can't give you a answer than I can back up with proof, sorry.

Q: What piece of self-made art do you most admire?

 

[Strider]

@ Ethereal Sage: what? wan't that obvious? a message made up of growls, roars, bellows and other assorted wildlife-related sounds

 

[Child of Time]

A: I made a painting when I was about three years old, that's pretty cool IMO. It hangs on my wall. That was my artistic peak and since then it has only gone downwards.

Q:When was the last time you started a thread?

 

[Ethereal Sage]

@Strider: Sorry, it was pretty obvious, wasn't it?

A: The 'What If...' thread was the last one I started, probably a couple months ago now.

Q: Do you use the board smilies in your messages often?

 

[hyena]

A: yes i do, but i have a limited repertoire because i'm lazy and i never bother to open the advanced editor/learn the code for most of the smilies.

Q: what is the stupidest thing you ever did?

 

[Venenum Veritas]

a: what isn't the stupidest thing i ever did?

q:when will the forum get a new make over?

 

[Arch]

A: Only Niklas Sundin would know.

Q: Which food of these choices would you want to eat right now? Pizza, spaghetti, sushi, hamburger, or tacos?

 

[Venenum Veritas]

A: sushi!!!

Q: same.

 

[Hitori]

A: aaaah thats so difficult as i'm starving! I'd say spaghetti, pizza, sushi and tacos.

Q: have you ever spent time thinking morbid thoughts such as your death and funeral etc?

 

[Ethereal Sage]

A: Yes...well about the death part...not fussed on funerals

Q: What is your favourite hour of the day?
