I just finished reading Something Rotten, which I enjoyed almost as much as the three previous books... As a Dane - and from Helsingør (Elsinore), nonetheless - I just felt the need to register a hearty *Hrmf!* before gratiously accepting the apology written with tiny print near the end of the book. Although I probably shouldn't be revealing this, suffice it to say that when we have annexed Schleswig and Holstein (as well as Skåne, Halland and Blekinge) back into the kingdom, we will be taking a closer look at the abandoned Danelaw. With the momentum we are gathering through the bicentennial of Hans Christian Andersen, this is not impossible. Until then!
/me wonders whether he, as a manxman, should register a *hrmf* about the positioning of goliath's head office... and also wonders exactly how one goes about registering your *hrmf* and how much the licence costs.
Mejdal---nice signature! I'll have to remember that. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that there's been a change in the system and you can now *hrmf* without registering. (Although it might still cost something; I'm not positive on that one!)
Best Regards,
~A.S.~

I'm not offended at all. I'm just a student (of English - who knew?!), and as such I have several dictionaries with many amazing entries. So I looked up 'fesh', and it came back as a 'Scottish variant of fetch'. One of the (surprisingly) many entries under 'fetch' was: 'A stratagem contrived in a far-fetched, ingenious or devious way.'
That being said, I did imagine that an elusive 'r' was to blame - but that's less evil, of course ;)

Any evil rule and/or invasion will do. Just like the people at Pentagon study the ancient empires to learn to how to maintain their current one, we will too ;)
Love the Lorem Ipsum generator! A friend of mine was working on the layout for the program of the musical we were putting on, and the software she used automatically filled the spaces with lorem ipsum. Well, I was looking at the sample she had printed out, recognized it, and became extremely excited, as I had never seen lorem ipsum being used practically before! So of course I told her how impressed I was, and she gave me a blank look and suggested I lie down, as she had no idea what I was talking about.
