The problem is that I ran the title through a translator and copied the Chinese characters back here to the thread. I can't be absolutely sure what she originally wrote. It might have said: "smokester is a mother-effing mother-effer".
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

Thats what Google said to the Chinese characters!

Indeed:


That's nice and concise.

I once asked a friend how to say "I would kill for those shoes!" in Mandarin.  They explained it would be a bad idea as I'd most likely be taken literally and risk jail.  Guan kai (I haven't a clue how to spell this, but this is a phonetic representation) means "roll away," the Chinese version of "Scram" or "Get lost."

Aha. I was supposed to translate to English, was I? Who knew.

Pretty sure omniscience doesn't work like that. Have you read the manual thoroughly?

Doesn't "omniscience" mean "always right"?

Technically, no.  It suggests you have the information that would make this possible.  It does not prevent you from incorrect utterances, either willful or otherwise.

Yes.  It's hard to keep a straight face around him sometimes.

Sorry dear. That set up was possibly a little rude.

I wasn't bothered.  I thought it was a witty rejoinder.

Too much rum this evening so all I can muster before bed is to win this game.

Well, I've been busy again. 
I need to take the time to log into diasfora with my iphone. I use my iphone and allow my daughter to use this android frequently.  It's part of why I don't frequent the site more often, but soon.
I am moving back to Indiana to be closer to my son.  I didnt realize I would need to move so soon or I wouldn't have had my daughter start the new school yet.
