Yes, you will, you will have a winter which is absolutely brutal compared to mine.

Will I go to the bar by the river Friday?

I suspect you already have.

Will the snow start AGAIN here?

Yes.

When will the white Danube turn blue again?

Don't mess with my Danube, transatlantic tin can!


Wäre Wien schöner ohne Wiener?

My question was actually an expression of concern. I understand icebreaker ships are being used to free merchant ships trapped in the ice in the Danube. Sorry if I stated that poorly and offended.

As to your responce, (the guy with the mournful voice and skeletal hand), I can barely speak one language poorly, let alone several well, like yourself, Arneb. :wink:

So, are we OK with that? :P

ETA: is there a translation for that mournful song?

Yes (to answer the first question). I thought you were aiming at environmental issues (the Danube being brown, rather than blue), and si I simulated the offended hyperpatriot and displayed a picture of, well, the Blue Danube (probably phrotoshopped).

As to the second question, I found none. The title goes "how beautiful Vienna would be without the Viennese", and it is an extremeley intricate, poetic, and yet acerbicly political song. Here is some info on the author, and here are a few of his songs from when he was still a bar pianist in New York.

His person encompasses the tragedies and the wonders of this thoroughly-damned 20th century. His songs are among the finest German poetry of that century, hilariously funny, unfathomly sad, and of the sharpest political observation - from someone this very Germany nearly killed when it was at its lowest culturally. Besides, listen to the music. He wrote it and the lyrics, and he played the piano himself. Did you hear the one moment of The Blue Danube that he plays during the Vienna song, quite unotrusively, only with the piano, while singing ..."and the Danube would be, again, oh so blue..."?

A genius.

Are there any geniuses that can compete with him?

As of last November 22, it should be quite easy to compete with him.

Since it was never answered:

Wäre Wien schöner ohne Wiener?

Yes, with a little lubricant, followed with a tissue.

How many members here do you think can read your French? :P

Probably slightly fewer than the number who can correctly identify the language.

How's your Chinese?

A little salty but the noodles are good.

When will I get over this cold/flu I've had for close to a month?

Soon as the weekend's and your paid leave are over.

Will they give me that life insurance?

Yes.

Would you prefer to cash in, or waste your money?

I'd love to see the money go down the drain.

Will that boy EVER stop talking?

Yes, everyone stops talking eventually.

When will that be?

Hopefully, I'll never know.


Is your new avatar your PE role model?

Yes, I am modelling myself after this great man from Hawaii.

What do you think of Bruddah Iz?

I thought he might be a sumo wrestler, but what I read of his music appeals to me. I am all for gentle people with wight problems...

Will the new President help this country along?

I prefer not to answer?

Where can I get material to make a Battlestar Galactica flight suit?

From the future.

Now the question is, where do you get a flux capacitor?

Doc Brown would have one.

Do you need his address?

No, over a sufficiently long period of time, a time traveller like him would be close to any given address.

Do you know the time when he was near my address?

I don't, but he will stop by eventually. Or has. or is. OR... Ah, criminy.


Will those time travellers learn to respect simultaneity, relatively speaking?

Depends on the Doctor Who script writers.

Will humanity ever reverse the trend of humans adversely impacting on global climate change?

No.

Is there any possibility that I can everything on my checklist done by the end of the day?

Sounds like you may not be sure whether you've got everything you're meant to have on your checklist.

Will the firewood delivery truck get here sometime today?
