“Is Spanish like Cantonese in that a small change in intonation can turn a nice compliment into an insult of someone’s mother?”
biff,
Not to that extent, more like English where many words can have double meanings.
You can also place more emotion on certain words by altering their form.
CGar,
I’m gonna have to call my sisters and find out who they’re hanging out with these days!
I saw that, m4l. There were rumors before season started, too. I am somewhat sanguine that forces larger than Dolan will keep browbeating Dolan (media, corporate boxholders, advertisers, etc.) every time these rumors start that it won’t happen. But i’m gathering kindling just in case. I know Dolan is stoopid, but his infatuation with Isaiah is dumber than Dolan is at baseline by an order of magnitude that sometimes I can only conclude there is something going on between them. Isaiah has destroyed everything he touched on the management side of hoops. Why anyone would even glance at a text from this guy at this point is beyond me.
Oh for crissakes- donatella- why don’t you look at it in the context of what it was. Look at the sentence before- about people taking property, homes, lives from others because of the Aryan laws. The aryan laws gave people the idea is was ok to do all that and stick people in concentration camps. Those people are monsters. That was the point- not an open general comment- it was specific and directed at those like Chanel who collaborated, not because they had to survive, but because they wanted to. It was in response to cobble’s Chanel comment. Comprende now? Because I’m done explaining. Believe whatever the hell you want to about me.
Dona – When us Jews think about people considering us less than human we get our dander up and say anyone who could think that is not a human being themselves. All you need to say is two wrongs don’t make a right.
Believe whatever the hell you want to about me.
See, Bxgrl. You took it personally. 🙁

Auk! Not to parrot Slopey but I’m sorry the punning’s plover too.
Biff, I bought a townhouse on Columbia Heights in the heights. We’ll be neighbors soon.
Ok, Jessi. Thanks.
Signing off for real now. I’m going home.
Have a good weekend everyone.

I hope Pittsburgh wins, but think GB will.
