Well, Vladimir and Estragon were driven up the wall for fifty years now waiting for him. So, it seems you may have to wait for a few decades longer...

Good answer.

To be a little more explanatory--
The play "Waiting for Godot" mostly involves the two guys mentioned above…well…waiting for Godot, who never actually shows up. So the whole point is that the question of "who killed Godot" is exactly as much of a loose end as Godot is in the original play, and we're never going to know (if he was even killed at all).

Welcome to the fforum, by the way, Page, and things are a little more active over in Nextian Chat. Why don't you come on over and join us? And have some cake!

gee thanks a lot guys, your so much help! really. :)

Oh I see now. thank you very much musesusan, youv been much more help than....well, the "others"! i didnt know about the play. im afraid im not very literary...yet.
thankyou very much, im looking forward to it! is it the custom here at the Fforum to offer newbies virtual cake? if this is the cake, i mean case. thank you very much, *munch* mmm,. deeeliciouse

Sings:
Yay!
We got ridofthe ca-ake!
We got ridofthe ca-ake!

(apologies to the Monty Python "Shirts" skit)

*and there'll be no Spooneresque comments on that last sentence either, thankyou!*

did i just get completely pulled into eating cake???
was i not supposed to eat the cake??? oh no!! HOW OLD WAS IT!?!?!?!
gross

Hmmm... I'm not entirely certain if it was the same cake all this time, but they offered some to me when I joined the fffforum...

Don't worry, Page, you're not the first.

The side effects tend to wear off after a few days

...mostly


(Oh, and sorry for not being very helpful above. I thought you knew about the play, and PrinzHilde's answer was very much in the spirit of the thing...)

oh good, im SO glad to hear it.

oh thats quite all right about not being helpful. and just for future reference there are a lot, and i mean ALOT of things i dont know. every things all in good fun!

You know, come to think of it, I don't recall getting offered any cake when I joined! That's it, I'm going to demand my rights! I DEMAND THE CAKE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO ME A YEAR AGO!

Too late. What do you think that was that Page just finished off?

oh, im sorry Muses, that i ate your cake!

Finally! Real virtual cake on the fffforum from a trustworthy source!

Yeah, be careful, she could be one of those spammers we've been having such trouble with. One bite of her cake and you'll instantly be compelled to send it on to six others, then go to Egypt and look at pyramids!

Nah, Page is no spammer!

... she is a fffforumite, though, and you know how reliable we are...

Talking about choking on cake.

I had to laugh at a story in the local rag yesterday. One of the reporters was scoffing a cheese and bacon roll. These are huge monstrosities with bacony bits of gristle in them and cheese burned into the top (the buns I mean, not the reporters). You can wring them out and grease a pig with the lard.

He'd got it at the local Coles and it seems he chomped down on a three inch screw that had somehow got baked into it. He got his money back but was quite upset when they wouldn't take the rest off the shelves.

That's all well and good but, tucked away in the middle of the article was the startling revelation that the offending bun was the third that this guy had eaten in a row! Good grief! THAT should have been the story!

hmmm let me think about that one lol

ah! i am so offended, how could you believe that poor little me would try to harm you with Cake!!
how could you?!?! really. harumph

Ahhh... I was suspecting you of nothing.

I think that everything may be a trap. That is why I'm still alive.

(Sorry, another random Princess Bride reference.)
