Monsieur Smokey is known to be “a lewd, chauvinistic stuffed bunny” as well as Mona’s alter ego; so why is she getting so testy with his (her own) crudities? Meanwhile, we now know that Donna’s “vision” was indeed just an imagining and not a real stripping-in-Starbucks by Kacey.
Jennifer is doing a great job of keeping us all on edge…I think M. Smokey speaks for everyone, male or female here.
Keep in mind, she’s been writing this through preparing for orals for her Ph.D, and some health concerns and never missed a post.
oh, skipper!
ever since the professor nabbed ginger and gilligan ran off with maryann , you’ve been imagining missus howell in her underwear, haven’t you?
Let’s all celebrate with the traditional Macaroni and Cheese feast. (That was Beethoven’s favorite food.)
Freude, schöner GötterfunkenTochter aus Elysium,Wir betreten feuertrunken,Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!Deine Zauber binden wiederWas die Mode streng geteilt;Alle Menschen werden Brüder,Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
Well, it’s not just the sound of the language; the English lyrics seem to have been de-Classicized. Schiller’s poem is more strictly an ode to a personified Joy, who is divine in nature but separate from the Godhead proper. It’s not just a “joyful ode” to the Christan deity.
Englishing the original German comes out
Joy, beautiful spark of gods,Daughter of Elysium,We enter, drunk with fire,Heavenly one, thy sanctuary!Thy magic binds againWhat custom strictly divided.All men become brothers,Where thy gentle wing rests.
I really like the line “We enter, drunk with fire”, which would seem really out of place in any traditional sort of hymnal…

What’s wrong with a little curiosity? I bet Mona is curious too.

Better to think of Lovey in her bloomers than Thurston in his tighty whities…

Smokey is Monas imaginary friend. so that means that it was really Mona who was thinking about wanting details.

HAPPY BEETHOVEN’S BIRTHDAY, EVERYBODY!
Let’s all celebrate with the traditional Macaroni and Cheese feast. (That was Beethoven’s favorite food.)
Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!

fritz: somehow, when one hears “Ode to Joy” in the original German, it sounds much more threatening than “Joyful, joyful we adore thee.”
