Bloody hell - a bloke turns up on the scene and all the women flock to the welcoming party.

That says a lot, doesn't it!

We should start a dating service for female LOTR fans seeking trekkies....

Hmmm....

Pre-Post Nonsense
Well, this is the pre-post nonsense. I am going to simultaneously make an appropriate Star Trek reference and introduce a concept that I will refer to later in the post (and all future posts by me).
In Star Trek: The Next Generation's Season 5, Episode 2, the Children of Tama spoke completely in metaphor that was not translatable by the Universal Translator without knowing what the background of the metaphor is/was. So in honor of the popular "Darmok and Jhalad at Tanagra", I would like to present a new word in the Children of Tama dictionary:

Inglor and the Newspaper, when the Pun Occurred.
1. (n.) The situation in which Inglor repetitively hit his imaginary pun's 'corpus' on the head with a newspaper due to its disobedience of his intent to repress it. Situational reference here.

end pre-post nonsense

Just some general comments in response to recent discussion.

1. Thanks for sticking up for me, guys! Inglor and the Newspaper, when the Pun Occurred. I really appreciate some Bloke love (Inglor and the Newspaper, when the Pun Occurred) in here to help me comprehend the nature of all this HEN HOUSE discussion.

2. I'm sorry, Thuriniel, but the only possible explanation for your repetitive use of 'Klignon' is that there is a small province in France with that name. I thought you meant the fictional race from Star Trek, the Klingons, but I suppose you could be referring to the Klignon province, as in their popular dish, Filet Klignon.
While I would love to be able to speak the local French dialect of 'Klignon' about as much as I'd enjoy knowing the language of the Klingon race, the language that my quote is actually in is called "Seussian". That's pronounced SOY - SEE - IN.

Regards,
Sean.

Sorry about the mispelling of Klingon! You're going to make me go back and edit my post Embarassed

! At six in the morning it seemed like an appropriate spelling to use. Blame it on my French. I've been talking to myself lately in the language of love.

I did recognize your Seussian "green eggs and ham." I'm only vaguely familiar with these books ... you see I didn't grow up with them and my kids don't especially like them. Some say I'm culturally deprived ... but I always reply that I had the greatest time reading Gloria Fuertes (our own Spanish-Seuss).

Sorry again about Klingon ... hubby is going to love this ... but now you know how I feel when I read Elvish concocted with a bit of this and a bit of that resulting in some weird form of language I don't even recognize Wink

So, as an addendum to my last post, and at the risk of being the receptacle of much hubris, I wish to position myself in a logical stance of rationality to explain why my last post was not Roll Eyes

I believe my last post was an example of my aptitude for writing humorous prose in a universe-independent setting. Sure, my setting was the Star Trek universe. But, can those same skills not be applied to a universe such as this one, if someone were to somehow tie me to a chair, or a bed or something, and read me the Silmarillion? Inglor and the Newspaper, when the Pun Occurred. My extensive use of references (for the relatively short prose passage itself), as well as my peerless grammar, are further evidence that I am a garden hose just waiting to let loose my creativity. Inglor and the Newspaper, when the Pun Occurred.

Post-post reflection

I actually don't think that this post is going to be very effective in clearing my reputation as a pick-on-able Bloke. The irony is that most of the Blokes here are actually rather imperious (usually? I don't know) and can assert themselves. Well, as it appears, not me.

Shaka, when the walls fell... you guys are going to make fun of me no matter what! Doh!

Oh God no, Rob is the only rooster here who the girls won't turn on when blood is in the water, (he is the only one with any real power) Rob gets a certain amount of respect (fear) because he is The Programer Guy and can reduce us all to ashes if he is so inclined, yet he is not all powerful, Do and Scribe can and do roast him. Having said that, I've never really been singled out and maliciously picked on because I am male or having a unpopular male view.
