Re: What Values does ET Represent? (4.00 / 3)

I'm thinking of writing a melodrama in 4 acts, with scrambling lieutenants and parts for introverts, Extroverts, Intuiters, sensors, thinkers, Feelers, perceivers, and judges. You guys can do the casting.

A farce would seem more fitting...

Ouille!

(I'm not sure a subjunctive wasn't violated in the construction of that pun...)

From the verb "ouiller" (que j'ouille, que tu ouilles...)?

I'm thinking of writing a melodrama (none / 1)

I'm going to call it

"The French Lieutenant's Omen"

Act one scene 1

Two lieutenants, one French, one Spanish are scrambling around in search of cybercriminals who have committed offences against the moral order of cyberspace...

Scene IV. Cyberspace. Before a hovel (4.00 / 2)

Enter Anchovis, Kant and Fool

Kant: Doest thou have a Possible Argument in Support of a Demonstration of the Existence of God?

Anchovis: Take physics, you pimp! Expose thyself to feel what scientists feel, that thou mayst shake the superstring to them, and show the heavens more just.

Fool: This cold diary will turn us all to fools and madmen.
