FIFTY-SEVEN

Dec 26, 2007 10:21

From Old English, myrige, or maybe Common (Vulgar?) Germanic, murgijaz, which means "short-lasting". Personally, I go with the "short-lasting" bit, it has connotations of "making time fly", or something. It's where you get "mergelijc" from. The 'y' made a "oo" sort of sound, but got hit with Kentish, so you write it with an 'e' and eventually ( Read more... )

say hello to my ego, etymology, lololol, look at my iq!, christianity is bad, bored and smart, christmas, lol i'm ooooold, say hello to my adhd nature, say hello to my... little friend?, cats, freud wore women's panties, still reeling from the triplet story?, never say 1 word when 20 will do, this entry has too many tags, meant to be sexually sugestive, say hello to my inherent lonelyness, heroism can be so banal, he's doing this for the attention

You know, modern domestic cats tend to expect the owner to feed them unless they're strays.

Stays... sounds charming. Rustic, you know?

cal_sitter December 26 2007, 04:12:02 UTC

I'd think you were better acquainted with the rustic lifestyle than I am. After all, you predate manmade fire.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:16:20 UTC

I take no credit for that fire business, though the wheel... maybe.

No wassailing for you this evening, Robin?

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:17:27 UTC

No, see, that's why I liked my part of Greece, it was warm all year long. Never too cold to annoy your neighbors.

banditfox December 26 2007, 04:21:12 UTC

There's a reason coats and other forms of insulated clothing exist.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:27:14 UTC

That's too much effort for something I don't particularly enjoy in the first place, really.

Girl cat or boy cat?

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:47:10 UTC

Does it matter?

reaping_havoc December 26 2007, 04:48:42 UTC

I guess not.

Can I be there when you pick one out? Maybe it'll be like the Pied Piper, you can use that pan flute of yours to lure them out of the pet store

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:57:49 UTC

If you insist...

Oh, I'll even bring the flute your paramour got me.

From the little I know of you; I somehow could not imagine you with a dog. Unless it was large and impressive.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:47:53 UTC

I did have an Irish Wolfhound, once. And a Mastiff, at another point.

light_lost December 26 2007, 05:09:40 UTC

Those are large and beautiful dogs.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 05:10:31 UTC

They guarded my estate in Ireland and Rome, respecively.

If you're letting a cat into the apartment, you're cleaning up after any messes it makes. That includes attacked furniture.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 04:48:08 UTC

It'll be a trained one.

captainshort December 26 2007, 07:27:05 UTC

I didn't take you for a cat person.

tehpuck December 26 2007, 07:29:01 UTC

I'm not. I'm a people person. That doesn't mean I can't have a cat, after all, I want one.
