• 657 language was baseball and oddities

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Friday, July 12, 2019 10:05:16
    Dad used to buy the NY Times every day; I used to read the sports section more than the front page news. (G)
    The Times is basically a worthwhile publication,
    but I never thought it was a sports paper.
    With a good number of sports teams in the area--baseball, football,
    hockey, basketball each having 2 teams, why not? There are other sports
    that have major tournaments in the area (tennis, for one, probably
    soccer, golf and more), the Times covered quite a few sports. Their main emphasis was news and business but every Wednesday they also had a
    section dedicated to food.

    But Newsday is the traditional font of sports wisdom in
    the City. Even the Post and the Daily News have better
    sports coverage than the Times.

    provision in somebody's will that funded the Harvard Celtic Languages and Literatures department that stipulated that the name be pronounced Selltick,
    I'd have turned that money down.
    You'll never be the treasurer or a university!
    No but that offends my sensibility on several levels.
    To me it's something that's to laugh at, especially
    as it's unenforceable.
    Yes, it is laughable but I also shudder at the blatantly deliberate mispronunciation.

    That tends to get me upset as well, but Harvard boys
    can take care of themselves, by and large.

    Ah. It's still an accomplishment.
    Very much so.
    I never really got past the nash bagash stage.
    I know a few words, but not enough to carry on any sort of conversation.

    Spasebo.

    Sounds like you need to get it checked out. Might be a local
    seasonal > allergy or something else giving you problems but you won't know for
    sure until you see a doctor.
    The question is whether knowing makes any kind of difference.
    That's up to you to decide.

    Spasebo.

    Roasted Emu Roast
    Eating Big Bird for supper?

    Wouldn't bother me.

    Big Bird & Snuffleupagus Breakfast
    categories: celebrity, kids, breakfast
    servings: 1 large

    2 Eggs
    Pancake Mix
    1 Large & 1 Mini Marshmallow
    2 Regular and 2 Mini Chocolate Chips
    2 Dark Grapes
    1 Strawberry

    Start out by mixing up the pancake mix according to
    directions. Make a large round pancake on medium heat
    so it's a little darker. Cut around one side to make
    the trunk using kitchen scissors. Cut out a piece of
    the scraps to make the mouth and eyelids. Cut a large
    marshmallow in half to the eyes. You could also spray
    on whipped cream. Place 2 chocolate chips on the eyes
    for the pupils. Place the cut out eye lids on the top.
    Cut sliced a dark grape for eye lashes. Cut a slice
    from a strawberry and put that on top of the mouth
    pancake cutout.

    For Big Bird you want to scramble up 2 eggs. We also
    saved just a little of the beaten egg to make the beak
    in the pan. Place the eggs on the plate in the shape of
    Big Bird. Slip a slice of strawberry for the mouth
    under the beak. We cut a mini marshmallow in half for
    the eyes and used mini chocolate chips for the pupils.
    We cut a piece of our dark grape for the eye lids.

    This is such a fun breakfast to make with the kids one
    morning and they will have lots of fun helping make it!

    Hi Michael,

    Back after being unable to connect with Marc for a few days, wondering
    if the storm messed up his power or otherwise.

    True, but if your dad buys the Times, that's what you read. (G)

    Harvard girls also?

    That being one of them. Dosvedanya (spelled phonetically) is another,
    and the standard da & nyet.

    This was cute. I'd try it out on grandkids but they're all beyond the
    Sesame Street age of appreciation (or will be, youngest will be 6 next
    month). Not sure when we'll be seeing them again.
