Can we stick to English on this list? All these Latin and French quotes

I know, you are a strange guy, but I didn't expect this.
Say, is there at least ONE (1) ordinary person around
on this list ?

Once upon a midnight dreary, Hans Franke had spoken clearly:
Define "ordinary..."
I'm *almost* bilingual as well, but not in French... I can only get slapped
with what little I know in that language.
Now in German, not only can I get slapped, but I can get a beer, too! ;-)
Something tells me if an actual "ordinary" person were to show up on this
list for very long, *that* would look weird!!! ;-)

Heh. My usual reaction to this sort of question is "Who would *want* to
be?" I have long maintained that. given the state that so-called normal
people have gotten the world into, it is an honor and a privilege to be
called "wierd". Besides, it's a great way to get away with anything; do
whatever you want, people just shake their heads, and say "Oh, that's just
Dann, he's wierd".
:-).

You know, sometimes I dream of beeing a sub sub officer at a
tax office with a nice pair of cuff svers (of course black,
a very distinguish black), a whife and 5 children and nothing
to think about .... maybe that are the most wiered moments ...

Weird? I thought everybody was boasting about how *wired* they were.
That was close, I almost posted about the AUI port on my forehead (the
surgery was done before twisted pair was available).
And while I'm at it.... Sam, WHAT is
"Sellam"?
Isn't that the name of the Arab who would chase Bugs Bunny out of the
harem? He'd wield a big saber and yell out "Sellam chop!"

Sad, but you still can use a AUI/TP adaptor - even better,
you also could use a Thick interface with an adaptor, if you
can handle the T pice :)

You need to go directly to a video store and rent some Bugs Bunny tapes to
refresh your memory. That was "Hassan chop!"

A spelling error in his name ? (Or an 'OUT OF LETTERS' error)
