  Re: Encoding? (was Re: This isn't good enough!
 
(...) Heh, well,that's always the best time to have fun. ;-) (...) ^^ Well, if you want to 'ssociate with Lar, you'd better stop making misteaks like that. Oh, and the number of times you agreed has gotta be... Uh, two. Including this one. <grin> (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Bad Pun Jokes - name that tune
 
Name that tune: Eight naked ladies lined up against a wall: the first facing out, the second facing the wall, the third facing out, the fourth facing the wall, the fifth facing out, and the last three facing the wall.

  Re: Introducing Lego SEAL Team 9
 
(...) Yes and no. They could be berets, but they are really black beanie caps (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Introducing Lego SEAL Team 9
 
(...) Some of those rifles are really cool - and Lego suffers horribly when it comes to realistic modern combat rifles. Question.... Are the 1x1x1 plates on each SEAL's head supposed to be berets? ~You should know who I am by now ;) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: Most hated Minifig?
 
(...) I just have 'em in my closet. Actually, a skeleton minifig looks great propped up inside a car, or maybe hanging half out the window, arms dangling... Very gruesome and dead town-ish.

(...) Yeah, well...yeah. Fortunately, it was at my employer's expense. (...) Hey, I've been right more times than that. At *leat* twice. (...) I've been climbing all up and down the used book stores in the area, and haven't been able to ind much (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: New to the area
 
(...) Glad you found it interesting. :-) (...) Yeah... it were the Greeks who were ruling in Israel during the Hanukka story, when the "famous" Mattityahu (or MattithyAh - however you wanna look at it :-) was alive. So I guess that's how the name (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: Ford Prefect
 
(...) The Futurological Congress and Memoirs Found in a Bathtub. I haven't read either of those, but I really enjoyed the Cyberiad. (...) Is Solaris the basis for the russian movie of the same name? (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New to the area
 
(...) When I was Bar Mitvah'ed, we had to come up with a Hebrew version of my name. The best we could do was Aaron. (...) The most common "meaning" for Eric/k/ck I've seen is "Ruler" or "King", and it's always Germanic- usually Norse, in fact. eric (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Ford Prefect
 
(...) If you like his work, I also suggest some books from Stanislaw Lem. He has some serious SF novels(0) mostly, but two from him, "Futurology(?) Congress" and "Diary Found in The Bath Tub"(1) are close relatives(2) to HHGtTG series, considering (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New to the area
 
(...) LOL - yeah. In Israel, you certainly won't find many Leah's or Sarah's, or barely any other biblical names - they have been drifting out of the "fashion" for the past generation. Most names now are short and catchy, with a meaning but the kind (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New to the area
 
(...) Uh, forgot to say, the "Matat" part means gift in Hebrew, and the "yahu" consists of the three letters that make God's name in the old testament. (Yes, the name is made of four letters, but the "hey" (equivalent to "H") appears twice.) Thus - (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New to the area
 
(...) True, true. :-) Admittingly, there are many names that don't seem Hebrish (1) at first (at least not to me) because of the many changes they've had along the way. The original name, I s'pose, is Mattityahu, as in the Hanukka story; but names (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
