Hi guys! Thanks for coming here. Now, the question is this: Would you vote for me for President? :D Anyway, cheers and have a great day! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 01:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support everyone! :) Go Obama! May he do many good things while in office (like restoring our international reputation, for one...) —Ed 17 (talk)— 15:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Note: No, there is no section for Obama/McCain because I would get no supports...! (Yes, I would not be voting for myself either..."Joe is right"!)

Opration Strikeback and Carrier Air Wing Six

[edit]

Hello! Ive been house-sitting. I'm getting back into things now. Wh is the status of the GA re-assessment for Carrier Air Wing Six or the GA review of Operation Strikeback?Marcd30319 (talk) 22:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Good morning! I have revised the footnotes to Operation Strikeback. Please review to determine if I have captured all of the changes. Also, at your discretion, please feel free to nominate Operation Strikeback and Carrier Air Wing Six, either as a Good Article or a Featured Article. Thanks! Marcd30319 (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello again! I started to go the footnotes, one by one, but I only got to #23...will be back. :)
What is up with reference #17 though? It has 2 titles, and the authors are...confusing. Help please! =) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 16:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 Done with the refs except for 17.
However, you are probably going to have to expand the prose a bit in this one as well...it's mostly a list a this point... =/ —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 18:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Reference 17 is a ship's histry compiled by the publisher's staff and the ship's crew association, which I fixed. Marcd30319 (talk) 20:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Good! Another thing: which of the "external links" do you use as references? Those should be moved to the "sources" section or deleted altogether, as WP:LAYOUT#External_links says that "external links" sections should only contain "relevant websites that have not been used as sources." :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 20:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi!

[edit]

Hi Ed! I'm Zebec, and you've heard from me on La Pianista's talk page. You seem to have a great sense of humour, and the way you and Pianista jabber constantly makes great entertainment for all around! ;-) Keep up the good work!! Happy Halloween! Zebec 06:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

My humor is only online humor, i.e. when I have 5 minutes to think up a reply...I really am not funny at all in RL. :) But yes, "jabber" is a very good word to use to describe out love/hate relationship.... :D :D :D :D Happy Halloween to you too! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Love/hate? Where did the "love" come from? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Glad you liked the adjective I used :D And, there Pianista goes again! LOL Zebec 06:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Whoa, I actually missed her message...:O
<creeper>I feel the love in every letter you type, every piano you threaten to drop, and every thanks you give me....don't worry, I felt all of the love. I didn't miss that super-secret message that you hid with every insult, every threat and every jest..... ;D ...besides, you KNOW that you love me and not biblio. :D :D :D :D </creeper>
Now I'm left wondering what kind of piano-dropping scenario/insult/"Ed is retarded" joke/super-smackdown will be awaiting me here tomorrow... (Yes, WP:BEANS violation, who cares :D) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 06:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
.........Oh, *&^%... *pukes on keyboard*
Uh-oh. I saw the typo. What kind of Freudian slip was that?! *pukes again*
I'd trout-slap you, but it's getting old. Perhaps...


BOOM!
The ultimate payback. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 16:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
ROFL Thought that you might like that. :P
Thanks for letting me know what you REALLY think of me.... :D :D :D :D
Eh, you know that I was kidding anyway, so I'm going to assume that you just want to threaten to kill me.... Right?
It actually was a typo, sadly enough. There couldn't be many worse typos than that! =/ —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 16:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
It was a killing of your virtual self. I think you've already got your answer, since you're not dead. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 16:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

(Pianista's piano's dent) Okay, good. I'm reassured now. :) I was scared there for a moment. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 16:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Oy, me too. For a moment, I was afraid you had "transmogrified" into some soap opera star... :D :D :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 18:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
-_- First: I hate soap operas. Second: Now, now, now. You still just have to steal my lines. ;| :D :D :D :D See ya around pal, because I'm going to eat! I haven't eaten yet today, so I am HUNGRY! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 18:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks...

Barnstar moved to awards page...However, it's going to get a new section - this really isn't an award, and even if Edge wanted it to be... well ...I just can't accept it as an award. I didn't really even DO anything to deserve it... Just made you laugh a bit... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Hiya Edge... I replied on your talk page too, but you had BETTER come back whenever you don't have schoolwork, pal. ;) Have fun on your hiatus, and good luck with all of the RL stuff that is sitting on your plate. Your friend, —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

These were actually already given; he simply moved the award to his awards page. But maybe two are deserved, for finally overcoming Belhalla. :p JonCatalán(Talk) 09:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, well, today's your lucky day, isn't, it Ed? Or is it your lucky week...? :D :D :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Sort of. I'd rather have Tom back than all of this "bling"...don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he left to deal with RL issues, and if I had the chance, I'd make sure that he dealt with RL first (who cares, WP is virtual)....but it doesn't mean that I have to like it... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh, a friend leaving? Sad...
You have my sympathies. I hope he comes back. And I'm not being mean, so I'm kinda out of my comfort zone here... :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, he says that he'll be back, but I guess that he has piles of RL issues. =/ You better not leave, punk. You make me laugh too much to lose you! Like right there. That made me smile for the first time today! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Joining

[edit]

I have from time to time entertained the thought of registering an account, but I find that certain aspects of Wikipedia conflict with each other. I think therefore that an anon such as myself may in the end be more important to a project such as this than any registered user since I am merely the sum of the numbers of my ISP address. By not registering, and jumping from one address to another, I leave a kind of essence that lets users such as yourself know that what you say and do is appreciated by the masses. Registering an account would eliminate this essence, and at the moment I am unwilling to sacrifice something so important. I do appreciate your kind approach though, a little more than two years ago I received a similar one from Tom while using a different ISP address. And I will keep Tom in my prayers; I hope that helps. 68.72.221.24 (talk) 04:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message, Ed. I left a note on TomStar81's talk page, although like the rest of you I am not sure if it will do any immediate good. When Tom returns though I am sure he will read my note and the notes and messages left by others who are concerned for him. Thank you for your assistance in this matter, Ed: most registered users would by now have issues one or two warnings to me for making unconstructive edits on Wikipedia. Until we meet again, take care Ed. 68.72.221.24 (talk) 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar. Its appreciated. I always wondered if the work i was doing at the Novels Project was making much difference. I just wanted to try and make sure the newsletter was running again and get that portal up and going mainly to try and keep the project active as it looked like it was lacking participation. Your doing a good job too. Yep i will come and visit, its just that real life needs some attendance for awhile. Good luck ! Boylo (talk) 06:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Wiki the vote?

Just wondered if you knew about these guys and thought you might find it of interest. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 11:17, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Heh. That was a fun read. :-))) Kinda biased against everyone though. Bart Stupak is a great guy, but the site seems to highlight/not explain key things about him..."Oldenberg Corp." created a bunch of jobs here, Petkoskey Harbor needed the help, "B.J. Stupak Olympic Scholarship Program was a new scholarship in memory of his son, and he gave my high school money for a scholarship in his name for that—money that people there desperately need to go to college. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 16:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Windstorm

[edit]

Hello, Ed. I noticed your question on the coordinator page while reviewing a project I will present in class momentarily (the focus was milhist on wikipedia). I thought I would clear up a point for you. When I accepted a UTEP scholarship and moved out here I discovered that the winds in the spring can cause long power outages, but not month long, usuall 6-36 hours long, depending on the windstorm and the ability of the electric company to deal with it. Thomas, the man you know by the screen name "TomStar81", was the one who first warned me about this a little over a year ago, explaining that becuase the power can unexpectedly go out it is best to create a generic notice for interent matters so those attempting to get a hold of you are made aware of the weather situtation. Also, I can say that Thomas is very good at hiding his emotions: he is always on wikipedia during class using the site to collect additional information for his notes (he uses a laptop), but this is the first time I have ever seen him not log in to the site. I had no idea he was under so much stress, but I am glad I decided to follow up on this. I will make sure that he stays safe while he is offline, and get him back to you guys recharged and revived as soon as is feasably possible. -- Guiterrez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.108.225.32 (talk) 16:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Long story, but I wasn't asking about actual windstorms...just using it as an example for a possible month-long absence that I may have... :)
Thank you VERY much! Remeber to not force him back here though—let him come back on his own when everything is worked out...but thanks again, friend. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 16:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
"Possible month-long absence..."
WHAT?! (the large font is to ensure you don't miss this message way up here) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
WHOA. :) I log on for a quick 2 minute break to see size 20 font... :)
No, if I do disappear (I'll tell you beforehand), it'll be becuase my mom hates Wikipedia, so I won't be able to go on it at home very often (every once in awhile I will though). If this happens (it'd be a worst-case scenario), I would be back with a vengeance in mid-January or so. Don't worry about it, my dear. :P —Ed 17 (Il Viquipedista)— 02:35, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem; that was a screwy GA review anyway. I mean, when you fail an article, shouldn't you at least give the author some advice to help for a future GAN? Argh...reviews like that make me mad... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 15:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, to give Redmark some credit, his comments actually roughly tracked yours, although specifics (like quoting problematic parts) are indeed quite useful. Where Redmark fell down is on scope and followthrough: he should have held the nom, he didn't place fact tags as promised, and he (more annoyingly) didn't leave any useful notification to me of what he'd done.

Bloody Murder Inquiry

[edit]

Have you and Pianista made any Bloody Murder episodes since the one where she was a headless damsel in distress and you were a knight on a white stallion? Reply FAST, I find them hilarious and want to read it if there's one I haven't noticed yet!! :) TopGearFreak Talk 19:26, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

=) Nope. We have many conversations where we simply slug it out and make fun of each other, but we are trying to contribute to the 'pedia too. :) Next on my list: Lexington-class battlecruiser. ;) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:28, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


Goodness gracious, my oh my.

[edit]

So you did this for me once - I suppose I can muster what little sympathy that lies in my shriveled little soul to do the same. :D :D :D

  • Sticking your tongue out at a Pianista while simultaneously correcting an error of hers is a big no-no. How can you even question the uniformity, the universality (<= real word), of her perfection?
    • Already {[done}} many times by me (for good reasons!) lately, and I'm still fine. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 06:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Ugly? How do you think the {{tocleft}} feels? How would you feel, for instance, if you were minding your own business, calmly holding your righteous place at the left side of an article, when a guy comes along and deletes you, insulting you to boot? Doesn't feel good, does it?
    • Well...its hard to imagine "calmly holding your righteous place at the left side of an article".... :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 06:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

No matter how useless the edit summary, and how annoying the little dash is, you will still type it there because, goodness forbid, you forget to leave an edit summary.
    • For the record, it was a subtraction symbol (link included in case you don't know what that is... :D).

No, Ms. Gnome, "precious" is a synonym for "dear" and "darling," so I figured that it would be appropriate. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 07:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Pianista, I thought I'd help out the process by notifying some of the active users of that page, but somehow I got the idea you were possibly a wp:Talk page stalker here. I think I notified two of the contributors, and I don't think either took part in the discussion, but perhaps some of their TPS's did... Anyway once I realised that Snow was forthcoming I stopped notifying contributors. ϢereSpielChequers 23:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello

[edit]

Hey The ed 17, sorry you didn't make president. You'll have plenty of chances to run again seeing that you are only just in college (we call it "uni" in OZ). Nonetheless, it was an interesting election for those of us watching from outside the US. Its great that Obama won, but I also feel sorry for McCain. My take on him is that he is pretty selfless and genuinely interested in the betterment of his country. I was "rooting" for him when he was running against Bush for the Republican nomination back in 1999/2000 and think he would have made a good president (just my opinion). By the way, I like the status icon! How is college going? Have you decided on your major? Romaioi (talk) 11:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

=) Thanks for the sympathy! Yeah, back in 2000 my mom was rooting for him, so I rooted for him too...but this time, I liked both Biden and Obama (in that order)...so when Obama won and picked Biden for his VP slot...well, I was happy. :D
I like the icon too - the problem is that I forget to change it when I get on! ;)
College is great - but I've got class in 10 minutes. Will finish reply later. :O Cheers! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 14:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Almost forgot about this! =/ Anyway, college is fine. I'm probably going to major in Secondary Educction-Social Studies with a minor in History...basically, I'm going to teach high school kids. Woohoo! :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Ah yes, a noble profession. I was an academic until 2 years ago, worked at one of the two big Michigan uni's between 2004 and 2006, before moving back to oz. I say this because I can relate to how under paid you will be compared to the value you contribute. But its rewarding to know when you have helped someone to learn something. Romaioi (talk) 13:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Really? That's awesome! I don't think that I would survive if I tried to get a PhD in Philosophy though...too much outside-the-box thinking. :)
Yes, I know all about the pay issues...when I talked about the teaching profession to all of my high school teachers, they all said something about the low pay. =/ As long as it's enough, I'll be ok, I think (maybe Obama will up the pay, too!).....Plus, I really like helping others with history-related projects! Hopefully it'll all work out and I will get a good job somewhere around here...I am hoping for Appleton, Wisconsin because new teacher openings up here in the U.P. are practically never heard of! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 17:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
If you certainly do not mind the pay then go for it. I don't think that teachers et al salaries will ever be where they should. The exceptions are those that are entrepreneurial or have some form of notariety (e.g. Einstein, Fermi) or made special achievements. (I am speaking from experience to some degree - it can make all the difference.) You also need to consider that advancement usually has nothing to do with merit and it tends to be far more political than the industrial world. If you can handle all of that then great. For me the main equation was this: how well will I be able to support my kids (and make sure there was something left for them when I depart the world - I have academic friends with kids who are getting older and can barely get by) and how much time will I be able to spend with them (because I used to dedicate a lot of productive hours and figure if I was doing that then I should be aptly compensated). I was considering these issues well before I started my PhD (or had kids for that matter) and the final quencher was my wife's desire to go back to Perth - she was willing to follow me to the other side of the planet so I figured I could change my career for her. Plus, the lifestyle here is very hard to beat, my "special" credentials have allowed me to pick and choose between careers ( I am one of the luckier ones), and you can play with stocks etc from anywhere. PS. if you can do well at stocks, then you won't have to worry about the teachers salary - it may be just the thing to help you start, say, and education center - I recommend you start reading up on that stuff sooner rather than later - its mechanistically simple, by psychologically tough. Romaioi (talk) 13:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Well it sure sounds like you are happy in the land down under. :) I hope that it continues to do that! Thanks for the advice too - I'll try to keep it in mind when I am selecting my classes. :) Cheers! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
No worries. The best advice is the cliche(esque): do what you are happiest doing. So don't worry too much about the subjects you choose. The beauty of the USA is that, ok things will be tough for a while, but the size of the population and diversity of the economy means that there is a career to suit almost any education. And if it doesn't work out for you, it isn't that hard to change. I think I can tell that you already have the right attitude. Your demonstrated willingness to communicate constructively with others is the key. So I believe you will do well no matter what you chose. Good luck. Romaioi (talk) 03:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

emily browning, very important, well kind of

[edit]

Why did you delete the image I did for emily browning, should I put it in a different spot??--Spittlespat 02:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

According to Ed's edit summary, he removed it because it was a non-free image. See the article on that for more details. Fair-use media can only be used under special circumstances. See WP:CFAQ for details. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Exactly. :) That image that you added can only be used in the movies' article because it is copyrighted. Someone literally has to take a picture of her and release it under the GDFL license, otherwise, we can't use any pictures of her. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
well alright I confess I think emily browning kind of cute... :D :D (but I still think Liam Aiken is cooler..) BTW I'm editing him right now!--Spittlespat 21:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Good news, then. :) BTW, Ed, you careless viquipedista, you've forgotten a few re's ^ there. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 21:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Going home again for the weekend. :) Will reply to any message when I can. Cheers pal! :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Cheers to you, too! Have fun. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I am having fun, thanks! Watched Indiana Jones last night with my girlfriend...though it wasn't as good as I thought that it would be. Otherwise, I haven't done anything besides church! xD —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

Actually I think he had contributed a great amount of edits and as of the 26, was at lost as to status of the article regarding GA attempt and what more needed to be done. It has been placed on hold for several weeks regarding the GA status. He has shown incredible patience. No doubt; when someone opts to address the GA; he will re-engage in the article. The suggestion that he has lost interest after he has clearly done his part and beyond seems a bit dismissive of his enormous amount of work. --JimmyButler (talk) 00:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoa...I wasn't trying to insult him. I was just assuming...and assuming wrong it seems. I agree that he has shown great patience, ok? I just wanted tosay goodbye in case he left... Anyway, my apoligies, —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ed. I finally caught you! Unfortunately, I have to go now (it's past midnight). I'll be on later today (6pm UTC). Please be around! Ollie Fury Contribs 00:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait! What time is 6pm UTC? 6 hours from now? (I will not be on then, as that would be 1am here =]) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant 6pm British time which I suppose would be about 2pm where you are. I'll be around Monday afternoon/evening and since you are 4/5 hours behind... I'm confused. Sometime tomorrow! Ollie Fury Contribs 00:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps you could install the digital UTC clock via your preferences, Ollie. Check it out, under "Gadgets." —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:56, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I'll be here. :) And I thought that you were "out", little Ms. Pianista...darn TPS'er... :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Just before I go. What is the time where you are, Ed? In England UTC and GMT are exactly the same (much easier for me). That means it is 1am here. I think I'll to go to bed. See ya! Ollie Fury Contribs 01:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Get to bed, you insomniac. :) It's 8:04 here right now. Cheers pal! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:04, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Me, an insomniac. It Wikipedia's fault, it's so damn addictive. So you are five hours behind? Have a nice evening! I am going now! Ollie Fury Contribs 01:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. I blame Jimbo for creating this. :) Now, GO TO BED! ZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZ time. :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I do believe that the two behaviors which you cite are one and the same or at least exist as nested, interdependent entities. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I understood all that! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Does that imply that you have not understood other similar statements I have made in the past? Do you recognize brace yourselves that this demonstrates my superior intelligence? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
<shifty eyes>No..........

Since fixed, smartypants. Annie as in Annie Get Your Gun? Ringabell? Copied the dialogue - sue me. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Pwned. And no, it didn't ring a bell. Thanks for the link! xD —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
'Twas the name of the musical featuring that song. Pwned. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Ah. "Smartypants". ;) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

(outsy) One question. I was going through a very interesting article a while ago (mwahahaha) and found this phrase:

The main armament was upped to 16"/50 caliber guns due to the plans for new British and Japanese battlecruisers with 15" and 15" inch guns (respectively) and the number of boilers was reduced to 20, allowing all of them to be moved below the armored deck; with the lower number of exhaust intakes, the number of funnels was allowed to go down from seven to five.

Firstly, what does "15" and 15" inch guns" mean? Is it a typo, or is this one of the extremely rare circumstances where I don't understand the subject fully enough? Secondly, there seems to be oodles more sentences like this - too long, really. :)

And...bother, I know this exposes my "contribs-stalking", but what can a gnome do, if she hardly does anything on-wiki except edit articles about piano, piano music, and pianists whilst flirting with/bludgeoning a fellow 'edian (you, dummy)? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Humph. I'm pretty sure that it is 14 and 15...let me check my ref. :) Thanks for the help!
I know, I know...my thought was to get all the info in first, then c/e later.
Feel free to go "contribs-stalking" more if you can turn up more of my stupid errors - Idc if I look dumb, so long as the article is improved. :) awww, that's just so sad...you POOR piano obsessed girl...
Lastly, "firstly"? :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
No problemo, amigo. :)
Good idea.
You don't care? Well, that's pretty obvious, from your conduct with me... But, nonetheless, a true 'edian. <imagine another smiley here, can't overuse them> awww, that's just so sad...you POOR battleship obsessed baby...
Hm? Whuzzat? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again!
I try...every once in awhile I have one.
=) Exactly! TECHNICALITY ALERT: that article, I believe, is about a class of battlecruisers...correct me if I'm wrong... :P
"Firstly, what does "15" and 15" inch guns" mean?" (italics added for emphasis) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome! (Okay, this part of the conversation is ending, since we'll just thank each other for the thanks over and over again.)
You sweet poochy! C'mon now, puke.
Oops, sorry. I know - I kinda get ticked when people refer to a sonata as a "song..." SONGS can be sung to, and PIECES are to be played; how many times to I have to tell my dad that? -_-
"Firstly," since it is the "first" in my series of complaints. Naturally, being a girl, I will always have more than one complaint. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
"Poochy"? Define poochy...
=) I'm not ticked though...why don't you flick your fingers and become obsessed with them all like me? :D
O, good point there—girls always complain! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Poochy, as in "cute." Ever heard of the word? Spell it with me - C-U-T-E. Unfortunately, I did have to spell it out for you.
Hm. Well, the process of getting me hooked onto anything is a rather difficult process - but once I do (as I have demonstrated with my multiple beloveds in this world) it is hard to get me off of them.
And yet guys always complain about their girls' complaints. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

We educated people prefer to use some other means of causing psychological harm, exempli gratia: "Even if there existed, as it were, no other homo sapiens in the world with which to converse, I would not waste one infinitesimal amount of my time or one intake of my breath to speak with you." —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You poor, poor, pathetic thing... :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I AIN'T pathetic, bucko. You'll have teh FIST to answer with if that comes out again...:D :D :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:25, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I thought "teh FIST" was reserved for biblio? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:12, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I got two hands for two suitors. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:15, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't "teh FIST" be plural then? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, you should be a gnome... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't really know what a verb is. An adj is a descriptive word...and that's all I know about that. A noun is a person, place or thing...and there is all I know. To me, an adverb is a word that ends in -ly... So I don't know if I have the qualifications to be a gnome... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

(<==) Well, you don't need to know all the technical things...but I'm sure you'd be able to fix small problems with PLURALS and the like - at which you seem to be especially adept. ;P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Scenes of Clerical Life bibliography query

[edit]

The year looks good to me; at least, it confirms Google Books, so that's got to be a good sign! What I suspect happened is that the person who created the article used an earlier reprint of the same edition and then linked to the nearest approximation he/she could find online. I've actually only been using that edition for the critical notes in the introduction, and using the Hesperus reprints for the texts themselves. I'll add those to the Bibliography when I get in from work this evening. El Staplador (talk) 10:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

You WHAT me? :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Like I didn't know that...
I know. Really made me rofl. :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Psh - like I actually love you anyway. :) Come visit for, hmmm say, six months where we hang out at least every other day, and then I'll tell you if I love you. :D :D :D And you can tell me that you hate me! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

1)Name any three songs by country singer Tim McGraw.
2)What band does bassist Lez Claypool play for?
3)“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” was written and recorded by Aerosmith for the soundtrack of what 1998 movie?
4)“Wish You Were Here”, one of Pink Floyd’s most famous albums, was dedicated to whom?
5)“What a Wonderful World” was a 1968 song sung by what famous jazz trumpeter?
=) The only good ones are 3 and 5...though I really like #5. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
O_O Whoa, sorry, cat change, see the strikeout? (and boy, am I glad I did that...) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
LOL k then...
1) What's the longest river in the United States?
2) What is the first foreign country one reaches as one travels due south from Detroit, Michigan?
3) Which is the only state to touch two oceans?
4) Which 2 countries share the island of Hispaniola?
5) This state has no professional football or major league baseball teams in it, but its neighboring states have no less than 7 NFL franchises and 6 MLB franchises. Name this state.
Have fun! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
1) The Mississippi River.
2) Mexico. If that doesn't work...Columbia?
3) Alaska.
4) Idk. I'll guess Dominican Republic and...arrgh, the other one. -_-
5) Rhode Island? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

(od) 1. Yep
2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Canada.
3. Yep.
4. Yep and Haiti. ;)
5. Kentucky - I wouldn't have gotten that either though. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

You laugh at me? How meeeeean... I don't wanna play dis game annymore! wah-wah-wah! :,(
Okay, I'll get back at you the mature way.
1) Who wrote the Missa Solemnis?
2) Why did Beethoven never finish the "Unfinished Symphony"?
3) Which Austrian conductor (also the top-selling classical music recording artist of all time) briefly served as a Nazi?
4) (You'd better know this, punk :D) Name three differences between a harpsichord and a piano.
5) How many symphonies did Gustav Mahler compose?
Watch out. A few of those are trick questions. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:49, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah...right. Like I actually know any of these. :)
...
He died or he lost his hearing?
...umm... harpsichord is stringed, has no keys, and does not have 3 legs...? What in the world is a harpsichord?
...
...
—Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:55, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I know. Ah, the feeling of trapping you in a corner - nothing else like it. :P
Okay, yah, that was mean.
1) Actually, many people composed the Missa Solemnis, Beethoven's being the most famous. :::2) Beethoven never finished it because he never wrote it. (It was written by Franz Schubert) :P
3) WUT? The piano is stringed, too? This is what it looks like - a very queer thing indeed. Look it up on YT, it's pretty cool.
4) The Austrian conductor is Herbert von Karajan - a great interpreter of Beethoven, albeit he was a bit into himself (like me, see?).
5) 9, and an incomplete 10th. Gotta go, though. Bai. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 23:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
That could be taken wrong. :P :P :P
Hm. Harpsichords are weird... :)
Have fun pal! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


Can I have a go. Here's a few English Geography questions for you. If you get them all right you will get an award. Use of wikipedia is permitted.
1) The county of Buckinghamshire borders how many other counties?
2) What is the population of Greater London approximately?
3) What unit of measurement is used on British roads?
4) Name a coastal town of England and state its county.

For extra points, two non-geographical bonus question can be answered.

5) We all know Americans have a silly spelling system, but which of these differences between American and British English are real?
i) colour/color
ii) weird/wierd
iii) program/programme
iv) analyze/analyse
v) center/centre
vi) sulfur/sulphur
6) Add together these numbers:
  • the number of wives Henry VII had.
  • the number of countries which make up the UK.
  • the charge on an aluminium ion.
Get these all correct and you will have your reward. Have fun. Ollie Fury Contribs 23:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
6?
7,512,400 in 2006, says the wiki.
Kilometers? (not using WP)
Brighton and Hove, using wiki.
Oof...I'll go with sulfur/sulphur.
Ummm...1 (using) + 4 (using) + 3 (not using), so 8? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

We use miles! Where did do you get the idea that we use kilometers from? I asked for a county for that city (East Sussex) so I'll give you half a point. Technically I asked for a town but I'll let you have that one. All those spelling differences are true except wierd/weird- we spell it weird like you. Well done for not falling for thinking 6 was the the number of wives Henry VII had. Do you study chemistry- you didn't need the wiki for the aluminium 3+ ion.
THE ED17 scored a C.
Very poor. I expect better next time! Ollie Fury Contribs 00:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I guessed 'cos I was too lazy to check. :D
Oops...stupid county!
Ya, I took AP Chem in my junior year, so that part of the question was easy! Lol! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
FURTHER EVALUATION OF THE ED17
ATTAINMENT: C
EFFORT: F
OVERALL COMMENTS: The ed17 has admitted that he did not fully participate in his test. This is extremely disappointing and discouraging on his part and I hope he makes a better effort next time.

(out) And browsing through the first comment, Ed...oy, you need some therapy for that head, always stuck in the gutter. Must I bring out the pliers to pull you out? It seems rather uncomfortable like that.

Oh, Ed wants to be a teacher? He has the temperament - no joke! Good luck w/it. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Na, I'm fine. Thanks for the offer though!
Yep. :) A History teacher, hopefully. If you bothered to read my userpage - "Secondary Education - Social Studies". :D :D :D :D Thanks! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c)Hm. Interesting bio. Nothing mean or annoying to say...arg, I'm disappointed with myself... BTW...
You thankless cad! I'll never speak to you again! What a crime, to forget such an important thing as that...worrywart... :D :D :D

Good poochy guy. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm somewhat disappointed too. :)
Well, maybe all the politeness will pay off someday! maybe....
Lol since when are you a RS? :P
Awww you think I'm cute [when you haven't seen me before?!?] :D :D :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I say you're not! There it is!
Just how is that feasible?
Since I ran into a pimply guy who gave me the eye on a bus once...yeesh...Total creep, smelled like a rotten egg. -_-
Keep calm, keep calm, 'twas only after you did the same, calling me "kitty"...
BTW, how do you know I haven't seen you before? I'm a TPS - why not a real one? mwahahaha —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
?
?
....ouch. Well, I thought that is was me for a second, but then I saw the rotten egg...I don't smell like that!
lol I'm calm dork. :P
O_O That's scary... :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Never mind, 'twas a failed insult to start with...
What I mean is "How is the politeness going to pay off?"
Okay, taking your word for it...
Says you. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

(<--) It won't... :( That isn't a reason to stop being polite though!
Thanks for demonstrating AGF!
Says me that it would be scary? Someone stalking me wouldn't be scary?!? :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:29, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

No, it wouldn't be scary, since, of course, I would never think of harming you. :} </lies through teeth> —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
(e/c)So all of the threats you throw at me in the future...are lies?
Hmmm time to report per WP:VIOLENCE? :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
No~ *innocent eyes*
Like I said, I would never harm you. I would only treat you with utmost respect and fidelity as a close friend. After all, that's what best friends are for! Besides, haven't I confessed my love for you twice? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Bring it! You'd trap me into a corner and..... :} I don't think that wou would be able to kill me.
<scratchy Eastwood voice> Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya?...Punk? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Psh, what a lame re...
No, on second thought, I can't kill you. Just torture you and enslave you to my own ends...<evil laugh>...WORLD DOMINATION! Well, that's what I would have said...actually, I don't know why I would want to do that. Not evil enough, I suppose. And wayy too cliché.
Should I feel lucky? What for? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:01, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Do you think that you could kill/torture me without me wooing you? ;) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
? Have I missed something or was that a lame attempt at saying something...sensual? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Why sould you feel lucky? That's why. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • tsk* Still don't get it. Oh, bother...I find it hard to love a guy who needs a spell checker, anyways. "Sould"? "Wou"? Is this some secret lingo I don't ketch? ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:20, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Just because I suck at typing fast... -_- —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) Huzzah! I have finally brought Ed out into the sunlight! By sheer denial of his seemingly "artful" attempts at winning me, I have obliterated all wandering, seductive thoughts from him! I have cleansed his spirit! Now - *slaps him* - off with you. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

LOL! :D :D :D :D Ow - that hurt...*rubs cheek* She touched me! OMG I think I'm...in.....LOVE! Now, what were you saying again? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:34, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Juliancolton/Blink Just to make this thread longer... –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 05:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoa...I didn't know that you were a TPS'er of mine, Julian! xD I feel so popular.... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
(e/c)Crud...
But - bedtime now. And please - I'm on the verge of puking now. The bitterness just piles up in the back of my throat, y'know? And the tongue gets all scratchy. And it tastes like all the stuff I had for dinner, all churned up. And there's the lump in my throat, which leaves me almost choking. And there's that weird smell coming from my cat on my desk...And etc., etc. Now, have you puked yet, punk? Yes? No? Well, suit yourself...dork. :P
(after e/c) Oooh, an admin TPS? Envious... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Pwned.
Sleep well! I might get some work done now! :D Nope.
I know! Freakin' sweet! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Jeeze! I only have a few extra buttons to push, it's really no big deal! ;-) –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 00:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
But you are an administrator! Say it with me. "A-D-M-I-S-T-R-A-T-O-R"! Doesn't that sound so...royal? Important? Plus, having Pianista envious of me is such a rare occurence...:) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Heh, yeah, I guess it does sound a bit ominous. Of course, your second point leads me to believe that it might have been beneficial to you for me to post here. User:Juliancolton/Faces –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) Well, you may have an admin edit your page periodically - I've had a B-U-R-E-A-U-C-R-A-T propose to me. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

(@ Julian) Mayyyybe. Not really though - I would have just found something else to 'smack' Pianista with. :D
(@ Pianista) "Administrator" has more letters. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Aw, what a lame excuse. That's like saying, "Well, your computer might be faster than mine, but mine's got a sticker on it." Or, "Well, you might play that piece better than I can, but I can hit that last chord harder." —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh, just admit it...that blow won me the battle. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
*ignores him* In fact, that's just like saying "Well, you may have more edits, but I have an FA. Oooh, shiny..." :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Bazooka

[edit]

Hey there. I noticed you looked at the Bazooka article a few days ago, and I was wondering if you might go back to it and look at the GA review that's currently in progress. I have a few problems with the state of the article as it is, primarily due to the references being used, and I wouldn't mind a fresh set of eyes to look at the article and the review. Cheers, Skinny87 (talk) 13:20, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Replied with my comments this morning. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Haha!

[edit]

Yea, I am quite bored... eh? With a lack of things to do I thought I might try to add on the wiki! Afterall, it won't make FA on its own... :-) FoodPuma 17:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

Boo-hoo! Ed's gone! I shall die, I tell you, DIE in his absence! Why, WHY must he leave me?! Oh, bother, it's a stupid policy, anyways... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, just stop being a drama queen already... :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:03, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Since when was I a "drama queen"? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Since I said so. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
No, more like since I said it wasn't so. Think you're a wisecrack, eh? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
When did you say it wasn't so? No. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
When I said so. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
On a different subject...lookie here - the entire article was written by bots! :O —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Wait - you said that you read my userpage...right...? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I did; this is just another article. Whew, close one...
BTW, your opinion on this, please? My peeps say I look like her...which is weird, since I don't think so. I wish I had a piano like that, though... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
=P
Wait...I thought that you were a teen...? Confused... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I am. Which is why I find that really odd...she is pretty, though. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

(<--) Gee, that freaked me out a bit...I was thinking something like "I could have sworn that she was a teen..." =/ —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:51, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

The fact that you QUESTION that freaks me out, too... *awkward pause* —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:53, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Why wouldn't I question that when you say that the woman in the video looks like you...and the woman is 40-something... :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
They mean the young Martha, here. I sent you that clip for the heavenly music in it, on which I asked your opinion, remember? :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, if you look like her, I'd bet money that you're hot. :) SEE?!? I can compliment too. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
That's why I don't think so... That's just what my friends say...I beg to disagree. *blushes* —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Zomg, seriously? You sound like my girlfriend..."oh, all of my friends and you say that I'm pretty, but I still don't think I am".... -_- —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Seriously. Even then, they say sometimes... lol. :)
No biggie, though - I'd pay more to play like her rather than just look the part. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:08, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh please...your friends are probably right, and you know it. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
But you don't know it. That's a giant leap of faith, there, pal.
And I said so, too. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Fine. E-mail me with a picture attached, and I'll judge...that wouldn't compromise your internet security, right? If you just e-mailed it? If you even think it would, don't send it...I'll completely understand, considering that you don't know me in person. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) Wow, you're actually serious...

No, I won't send it, thank you. I'm thoroughly convinced you're a nice, decent dude (really, I mean it, to the core of my being), but...you never know. :) Thanks for the - uh, offer, though. *blushes again* Now, none of this funny business. What was this about, again? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

...didn't think that you'd send it. :) But really, I understand! I may be just another stupid college kid, but I really understand - I'd think a lot about sending you something like that too, for the same reasons. =)
Good question! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
"Just another stupid college kid"?
Dude, I'd smack you for that. How many college kids do you know who are simultaneously the head coordinator of MILHIST and one of the most respected editors on-wiki while juggling schoolwork and a gf to care for? Don't give me that "modest" bull. You're good, and you know it. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
TECHNICALITY: I'm not the head coordinator. :P
None - but do I personally know anyone else on here? Actually, one: General Aurum, but he hasn't edited in a longggg time.
"Most respected"??? I wish.
... Alright, have the schoolwork and gf points. :)
I WILL give you the "modest bull"! :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
W/e, you'll think what you think, and I'll think what I think...which is, in summary...
You rox. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Humph. Well, thanks. :) You "rox" too, pal. Ya, you rock my socks! :D
How 'bout this. I'll consider believing you if you can find diff(s) that prove I am one of the most respected editors here, ok? This has got to be a small risk... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
All your DYK's, plus your FA and GA's, this, this, this (wow, I just realized I didn't leave an edit summary there), this, this, and, most importantly, because I said so. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
And if you're wondering why the third one's there, it just shows how valued you are that the people want to make a living joke out of you and delete ya. Paradoxical, yes, but true nonetheless. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I'll go with "respected". Not most respected, but respected. Satisfied?
...boy, was my self-esteem given a boost tonight... ;)
And don't worry, you are respected too. :D
Sorry if I start missing replies, as I am almost done with a massive expansion on Lexington-class battlecruiser. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Somewhat satisfied, but 'twill do. Does that sound weird?
Agreed. I hafta make up for it tomorrow...
Says you. Don't worry, you don't have to look for the diffs. I know my awesomeness.
No prob! At least you're working. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Good.
Joy... :D
Thanks, as I woulda been too lazy to do that! You weren't actually supposed to go looking for links...-_-
 Done (maybe..) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Shut up. If I didn't want to talk to you, I'd say so! Jeez... :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Have fun at Thanksgiving! I've got a longer response on my page, so you must read it. *sinister laugh* —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
"The ed17 has no immediately available Internet access and will be taking a wikibreak of indeterminate length."
'Indeterminate length?
*gasp* Someone *gasp* help me...*chokes* quick...*faints* —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Shut up. Just shut up. Freakin' drama queen... :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) Methinks you should shut up for saying "shut up" all the time...quite rude, imho. Practice what ye preach, says I! —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey, you're back! :D Contribs stalker? Who, me? :D :D :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 21:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
You definitely are. :) My mom is in a good mood today!!! (so I don't have long, but...I have some time!) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 21:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
...
BTW, you have something, ah, interesting at User talk:TopGearFreak...*evil laugh*.
Hope your holidays are goin' great, and that the good mood stays long. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 21:34, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
So far so good. Better tommorrow - seein' the family and my gf is coming with! (Her parents allowed her to go somewhere with me :O) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

This is horrible

[edit]

My apologies for having to endure this: [4] again. -MBK004 05:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! -_- Freakin' ...... this is very annoying.
Whatever. Maybe Raul will see the 12 supports and put it on there anyway... thanks for the heads-up. I'll stop whining like a 5-year old now. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Drop him a friendly note on his talk page explaining the replacement twice and the number of supports. He can't conceivably ignore that, could he? -MBK004 05:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Hmph. POV-pushing editor? You have my sympathies, all of you. :) But, carry on, carry on, I'm a WP:TPS by nature... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
@MBK - I'll try...and I hope.
@Pianista - lol be nice! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I was trying to be nice...just got a little mushy from the above section and had to blurt it out somewhere... :)
But ignore me, I know that was rude. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Awww. :)
Too late, it's in the history. :D
hope... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
It pays to have admins as friends, I could delete it, but I don't want an admin conduct RFC opened on me.
Pianista, in the future before calling an admin and coordinator of WP:MILHIST a POV pusher, it might be a good idea to take a break and read their userpage. -MBK004 05:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, don't do that.
I believe that she was referring to PointBlank, MBK. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Yes, Ed's right. I've been there, before, too - so I know it can be frustrating. I just get my stressball (meaning, my cat) and squeeze it 'till I feel better. Then, I write the editor a civil note and, in time, the issue is solved. :)
But, sorry, I am a really bad distraction. Please continue - I won't bother you anymore. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 05:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Cats are AMAZING for stress! As long as they don't run away, like my cat at home, Squirrel (my mom named her, don't ask)
Wait - you're saying that this is a recent development? You being distracting is...new? Bull. Just shut up already. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pointblank... - Response

[edit]

So I saw that you replaced "my" article, USS Nevada (BB-36), on the TFA Requests page... Would it be possible for you to wait for it to go through? It had 12 supports, so it shouldn't/wouldn't be long before it gets scheduled...but it was replaced once already, and I'm running out of time! I'm in college, so I'm going home for Thanksgiving, where I might not have internet access (it depends on my Mom's mood...). Without regular internet access, I may not be able to re-nom it - knowing my luck, Sandy will schedule at the time when I can't go on.... Anyway, I understand if you don't want change it back, as you do have a perfect rationale to replace it...but...

Cheers, —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 05:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


I have no problem, I will save a copy of my nomination in a sandbox so I can repost it at a future opportunity. ThePointblank (talk) 06:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very, very much. Mucha gracias! (did I spell that right?) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 14:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
"Muchas gracias, mi amigo" would have been more appropriate. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't know any Spanish—I've only heard my friends say something like that before. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:41, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I only know pequito, too. My dad learned it well into high school - so when we go to Mexico, he's our translator. I'm more comfortable with the French language, though. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
I took French in 7th Grade and online in my sophomore year of high school...but I don't really remember anything! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
...I would respond in French, but I don't know how... heh! :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Coordinator discussions

[edit]

It would be helpful to have some input on the following discussions, some of which you may have missed:

Very many thanks :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 09:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I replied to all but the task force question - I'll wait to make sure that we didn't miss any ideas before putting a useless message of "I agree with this" like I did for the A-class tread. :) Cheers, —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 14:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Signature

[edit]

Ed. I just made a new signature. Is it over the 255 limit? It's here!→ TopGearFreak 20:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to count it, but it looks fine. If you want, you can take out even more stuff and have it the same... - i.e.

<span style="font-family: Papyrus">'''[[User:TopGearFreak|<span style="color: #7B68EE">Top</span>]][[User talk:TopGearFreak|<span style="color: #9966CC">Gear</span>]][[User:TopGearFreak/GuestBook|<span style="color: #8A2BE2">Freak</span>]]'''</span>

Which would look like...

TopGearFreak

The same, right? :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 20:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Just a tip - copypaste it under "Signature" in your preferences, and if it fits, it's under the limit. Then, check the "Raw signature" box and save your preferences. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Got it. Your shortened version doesn't work (the 'invalid signature;check html tags) came up. And I did put it in the box in my 'preferences' page (it fits), but I didn't know that the box had a space limit. Thanks! TopGearFreak 19:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
o_O Did you check 'raw signature'? I thought that it would work... Humph. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Actually, it should have worked, except that Ed didn't close the <span> tags he started. *blows raspberry at Ed*
So, it should be:<span style="font-family: Papyrus">'''[[User:TopGearFreak|<span style="color: #7B68EE">Top</span>]][[User talk:TopGearFreak|<span style="color: #9966CC">Gear</span>]][[User:TopGearFreak/GuestBook|<span style="color: #8A2BE2">Freak</span>]]'''</span>
Creating:
TopGearFreak —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:46, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Don't have to close span tags within links...see my own sig. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ed, is there a way to code my sig using fewer bytes? Also can you suggest a way to make it slightly smaller? ϢereSpielChequers 11:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello again WSC! I've seen this, and I will answer after class. Promise. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 14:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Alright....hmm. Try this? (If it is wrong somewhere, add a </span> to the end...or switch it to </span>...)

'''[[User:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: purple">Ϣere]][[User talk:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: orange">Spiel</span>]][[Special:Contributions/WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: pink">Chequers</span>]]'''

Which should produce the same thing: ϢereSpielChequers
Try it out! And feel free to tell me where I screwed up :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 15:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Ed, at the moment it comes up with "Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags.", so might need further tweaking. ϢereSpielChequers 17:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Kblargin...what am I doing wrong here? :)  Doing... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 18:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

There is something to be said for non-evanescent simplicity, by the way. I've had my current signature, which is small HTML-wise, in the same essentially unmodified form for several years now, and I prefer it over transient flashiness. --Cyde Weys 18:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(@ WSC) This works, but I don't know if it is that much shorter...for the one above to work, you have to create a page like mine and transclude it (no going over the 255-character limit though!) with {{subst:User:WereSpielChequers}} in that box with "raw signature" checked. The one that works w/o transcluding is as follows:
'''[[User:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: #800080">Ϣere</span>]][[User talk:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: #FFA500">Spiel</span>]][[Special:Contributions/WereSpielChequers|<span style="color: #FFC0CB">Chequers</span>]]'''
(@ Cyde) Whoa. The dude who blocked me two years ago has...returned. How's it going? :D
Well, flashiness is (somewhat) bad, but WSC's and mine aren't too terrible. The three "core" (? right word?) links with an extra link for me for newcomers. I think that I might take out the non-breaking spaces in mine though...extra unneeded messiness! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 18:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Ed, that worked! ϢereSpielChequers 18:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
No prob. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Help needed

[edit]

Hi, I just noticed your question on MilHist today. I have a (signed, no less) copy of Friedman, and John Moore's figures all work out. For Hood's data the page ref is pp. 168-169, which is from the Mayflower Books of New York edition, 1978. Cheers, --Harlsbottom (talk | library | book reviews) 17:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

:O DUDE! Thanks a bunch! You just made my day! Just one last question becuase I was stupid enough to not put it in my original post (=/): are all of those numbers from that page range of 168-169? (I'm really looking for the 41.1% that was there for Nevada and the percentage for the New York class, if possible) Sorry for not making myself clear the first time... but thanks a ton, —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 18:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay: RL as always intercedes. The percentages would have been made by John Moore from the data contained in the very long tables Friedman sets out in his book - there's a table for each country's capital ship construction. The U.S.N. one, which covers both the Nevadas and New Yorks, is on pp. 166-167. As far as I can see his sums add up on all counts. --Harlsbottom (talk | library | book reviews) 10:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh please, it's no problem. I can't thank you enough for this! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 21:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Moved from TopGear's page...

[edit]
Oh, I can speak for you.
<creeper>I am your ears, mouth, and eyes. I hear what you hear, say what you say, and see what you see. We are, and always have been, one and the same, ever since that starlit summer night we spent in the park together, with only the sound of the wind in the trees to disturb our silence...</creeper>
Which is, of course, why you should quit your stalkin', if you know what's good for ya. Actually, if you do that, it entirely removes my right to stalk you...which can be potentially deleterious to one of my most entertaining pastimes. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 00:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
LOL oh wow...
That is really creepy...may I ask what movie the "starlit summer night" is from? Assuming that you didn't make all this up...
How many corners did you cormer me in on that night in the park? :D
And no, I refuse to quit stalking you - it is way too entertaining, dear. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 21:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Pwned. :P
From the drama of our lives, my love.
More than I can remember. You brought the wine! :P

Right... censored appropriately. It's not that bad, though. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
To a dirty mind...it is. :D Remember, alcohol is bad. Do you remember how many drinks you had before biblio proposed? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
WhAzZaT? Zomgaw, there's two Edz talkin' to me...i'm seein' duble, lawl. *falls off chair* —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh cool! Pianista's out cold - time to go. :D
I think that I am glad that I have only had alcohol in church before (Communion!)...I've heard way too many puking stories from too many people... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) TECHNICALITY: The only hard alcohol I've ever had in my entire life comes from me grandpaw's "Irish" coffee, swear the truth. This is all mock-play, just like my "love" for you. Must I say that a million times? :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 22:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Lol well, good for you! We are good kids, I guess. :)
I know that the alcohol is mock-play...
...but are you sure about the "love" part? :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 22:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Another thing: I can't drive either. :O
Real response: As sure as I am that the sun shines and that I have a pianist's soul, cross my heart and hope to die.
Mock response: Mmm...maybe not so much, now. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 23:00, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I've had a screwdriver before! Vodka and orange juice- quite a kick! Other than that I hate beer and do not like wine and last drank alcohol about ten months ago. Am I good kid? Ollie Fury Contribs 23:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c. these 1st three are @ Pianista) Ahem. Same.
My friends actually got mad at me the other day because I swear at the rate of once every two weeks or so...
LOL grrreat. What'll I tell my gf now? :D
(after, @ Ollie) LOL well, ah, sure? :)
(@ Pianista) Um, you are. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I knew that. Oh, I knew that.
Really? Meaning...they think you swear too rarely? :\
Tell her that you can't talk; you have to pack and come away with me. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 23:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Did you?
Exactly. -_-
ROFLOL! My mom also had a LOL from that... :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Good question! Now answer.

Congrats! :) Anyway, "bai"! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
No, I won't answer. :P
My silence was to signify the skipped response (but if you really want it, you have my sympathies...again...)
Bai!
<tone change>You can never get me off that topic. Ever. It has proven to be the most potent way to make you (and your mom?) laugh-out-loud. ;) Cheers, in all clean fun. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 23:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, my mom read the whole conversation - she liked it. :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
O.o Now that's creepy. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
BTW, don't miss out on teh partay. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
And you said I was kinky... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) Oh, seriously, just bite me! Stop stalking me already... :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

*bites him on neck* There - that felt good.
No, I was only watching my watchlist. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Ow. Can I be Edward from Twilight now? Gosh, I hate those books...
Oh fine, w/e lol...bye! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Never read those books, and to some girls I know, that's a crime. o.O
Bai~ (for the nth time!) :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:27, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Wishing you happy Christmas. Hopelly this makes your Christmas better! Cheers, and happy editing! TREKphiler hit me ♠ 21:17, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

It's November 27...unless...
My, uh, fiasco ;) ;) ;) with Ed last night has left me bonked a few weeks behind... :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
BTW, Ed, I must be famous; I'm mentioned in a song. O.o —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I know, it's early. I didn't want to forget. And somebody gave me one, so I'm regifting. ;D TREKphiler hit me ♠ 02:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
O.o Somebody said the "r" word. Oooooo... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Show me three RS's that mention you...only then are you notable. :)
Heh heh thanks Trek! A Merry Christmas to you too! :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
...
If I gave you the news clippings, that would give away my identity... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:01, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Well then, how can we verify that you are famous? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't cry for me, Ed. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:31, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I won't if you geve me three RS's! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:33, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

(out) What if I...uh...make myself notable in another way? *leans forward* :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

With tongue?
*leans back* :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:37, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
This is getting on choppy seas... In the corner?
Suit yourself, knowing that at this moment, an Equus asinus living down the street has been wanting me for three months now... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
LOL maybe - it's your dream :D :D :D
Oof...really? Tell him that you've met an awesome guy online and to back off - I'll even pretend and back it up (but be sure to forewarn me please!) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Correction: It's my nightmare.
Really. I've told it all to a young girl on Blogger, who seemed like she really needed it. It's mostly girl-talk - so you'll mayhap get bored quick. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
And...if my suspicions are correct...It would be rather easy for you to "pretend and back it up", considering, ah... —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:14, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 Done (i.e. commented) and I have to get off before my mom kills me. Cheers! :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Aw, Ed, you didn't have to, I never asked! :)
Thanks for the input - and bai! —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

No, really, no biggie. It can wait. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
But, please do let me know when you re. Don't do it now, though - I'm itching for some of the on-wiki re's first. ;) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:27, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

This is not Transformers the movie... :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
It's not - some chick flick, mebbe. Anyhow...Bésame, tonto! HUGE lol. :P Hope your trip was fun, pal. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
ROFLOL how long did it take you to think that up? Very good for the most part with completely annnoying stuff thrown in at the end... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
As long as it took me to catch you in the corner last night. SHA-ZAM! :P Good to hear - I mean the good parts. Sorry for the annoying stuff; so here's some more to make it better. :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't pretend that you didn't like it. :) Yes, this is making it better. I'll reply to your e-mail now and I'll tell you what the annoyingness was...may as well not clutter this up too much. :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Was very hard to like it, though, me doing all the work... Thanks. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh please, I had to do work too! DING! "You've got mail" —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:39, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Psh. Come on. Entirely one-way. DING! So do you. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(Let's go outside now...don't want to suffer through the demented lives of Ed and Pianista...) Hate to interrupt, but a) Awwwwww.... b) We missed ya, Ed. :D Icy // ♫ 01:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

LOL good use of bolding! a) Not really...creepy... :) b) I missed you guys too. More than I thought I would... ='( No comments are needed on "b", Pianista...:P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. Props to the Icy, yet again! :D
<sexy voice>Ooh, you haven't seen creepy...</sexy voice> :D :D :D :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 01:55, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Now would be a good time for me to abandon my poetic outdents and run for my lifesanity. Icy // ♫ 01:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
What are you talking about Icy? You know very well that nobody in this cabal ahem.. collaboration is sane. Chamal talk 02:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Icy would prefer to leave that aspect of insanity to Pianista and Ed... I just walked outside, I think I'll vomit now. Sorry, whoever's lawn this is. Icy // ♫ 02:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:D :D :D I feel sorry for poor Icy, but I must (once again) blame Pianista for starting it. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:09, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
WHAT?! You were the one asking for it yesterday, begging me on your knees, actually. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
-shakes head with an air of satisfaction- Very sweet, very sweet...come to think of it, it snowed today, and some of the snow stuck. You want me vomiting on pretty snow? -tear tear- (Begging on your knees, eh?) Icy // ♫ 02:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Nah - just do it in the toilet like everyone else. :D
Indeedy. He was just too demanding... :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c x 2) Wait....

(out) What if I...uh...make myself notable in another way? *leans forward* :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

How is that not begging? Yeah, that's what I thought. It was all you. :D BTW, you have mail again...almost forgot!
(e/c x1, @ Icy) "Sweet"?!?! And no...vomiting in the toilet out of our sight will be fine. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
"Demanding"?!?!?! You guys are so ganging up on me! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(Waiting outside...feel like someone dented my head...demented head... -dies-) Oh, dear...don't like the direction this is going in... Icy // ♫ 02:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Man down, man down! Recruiting now underway for a new member to our err... collaboration. Chamal talk 02:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c)(out, for Eddie's demands *tsk* OK, lamer than Icy's but w/e) No way. That was "tantalizing," even "seducing." You were "begging," "whimpering." Totally different.
(after) Neither do I. But then again, I kinda do... :P
(e/c again) Woman down. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and got your e-mail, Ed. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Still man down - woman down is hard for my tongue. Chamal talk 02:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(@ Pianista) [citation needed]
You would.
K, just checking that you got it. :)
(@ Chamal) Darn Sri Lankans. Getting everything wrong. :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c) All right then - figurative man down.
(after) Oh, c'mon, was I that good that you forgot even that? :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Ohhh, right, self-referencing. Gotcha. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c) That is it...I've had enough and I can't hold it back - it is so past time to just completely gross you out. Icy, do not read the following. :)
No, I am just disputing your claim that I started it. I remember all of it - <begin sickness ICY DON'T READ!> the initial "smacks" of pecks and the subsequent tongue, the rustles of clothing being removed, the whimpers, the moaning, the screaming, the final climatic ending...</sickness>
Alright, have I grossed (everyone) out enough? It was actually kind of fun to make all of that up! :D :D :D And no, I wouldn't know. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
And you know Icy read that. All of it.
Dude, that was SO wrong... and yet so right...:P
And yet, I haven't puked. So, HA! But don't try again. Ugh. :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:44, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
I warned her!
Yep. It was.
Try what again? Trapping you in a corner? :D :D :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Which gives her the perfect grounds to read it.
Don't speak too soon - one of these days, I'm gonna turn it on you - and not just the sounds being described...
No - that time was in the closet, remember? Holy cow, this is too much fun. Must stop. *closes eyes, takes deep breath* Must stop, even if the laughing has made the water come to my eyes. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 02:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Oooo duh. She woulda read it anyway w/o the warning though!
You do that - I'm sure that I will be laughing for the entire read!
Oh, I knew that. The time in the corner was when I ripped your clothes off, right? Or was it that time on your kitchen counter? I forget...too many times to think about... :) I wish I was that strong. :D And, I so agree with that. Oh my goodness, this is just f'in HILARIOUS! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 02:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(out) TECHNICALITY: Kitchenette.

My, my, someone needs a bar of soap in the mouth. Have ya ever heard of privacy? Geez. That's our private time. You promised, you'd never tell, remember, the morning after? No, I don't recall you ever doing that...

Agreed. Completely. :P I've finally almost-puked. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh fine, darn kids in their apartments. (Or small houses. W/e. :D)
No, no, not soap. I've tasted that before (albeit a long time ago). It is sick! And I'm not telling anyone - my TPS'ers choose or don't choose to look! Maybe none of them will look? How do you know that they will?
Agreed with the "too many times to think about"? My, my, we need to slow this "relationship" down a bit! ;) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
*AHEM* Small house.
Okayyyy...
You need to learn to slow down. :P —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:10, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Btw - I'm indescribably glad the quotes were there. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Maybe you should stop wanting me so much all of the time! Jeez, your whole life is about ME! :)
Np - thought you might. However...have you ever heard of "friends with benefits"? :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
No, my whole life is about piano. Tsk-tsk, you should have known...
Yes, I have. And no, I am not one - I would think I'm more of a burden than a benefit, no? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, I come in second then. :)
If you are seriously talking about your comments here again as a "burden"...shut UP. Seriously, remember when I said "Wait - you're saying that this is a recent development? You being distracting is...new? Bull. Just shut up already. :)"? Same. You are definitely not a burden, my dear. No way. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c)Agreed. You are my boy-toy.
Well...thank you. Finally, a glimmer of civility...(j/k - you've always well, almost always been civil) :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm the only boy-toy you have, right?
Np, it was easy. I like logging on to find messages from you! :) And almost? Only almost? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
As of now, >.> yes.
Yes, almost. Letting your hands run away with you, ripping off the clothes on my back, gnawing at my neck, and nearly biting my tongue off Frenching me isn't very civil. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 03:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
WhOO!
In order: you liked it, those clothes were old (I'm a weak kid here), when was that? and sorry, I was aiming for your lip. :D —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(out, for thine sanity) Don't forget the other one I told you about. Who knows, I might let him. Actually, never in a million years, in pig's flare will I ever condescend to that bleepin' bleeper.

[citation needed] —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

In that case...I'll be sure to forget about him. :)
Oh please, citations aren't needed - you know they are true. :P —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:05, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Do.

All right - I've puked. The simplest of sentences has been my end. Who would have thought...
Now then...what were we talking about? Oh yes, the innocent days of yore. Remember?
Actually, now would be a good time to ask you a question. What made you contact me in the first place? I've entirely forgot. :) A great day for me, though. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:38, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

(outie) You poor thing...but am I sorry? No. :)
Actually no. That was awhile ago...!

No - as indicated by the redlink. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
(e/c) No, apparently it is not.
You signed my guestbook? Maybe? Hmmm.
And, oh yeah was it a good day for you...you found your "supply of infinite orgasms" So if I hasn't crossed a line before, I'm pretty sure that I leaped past it now... —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 04:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Censored. Spittle watches this page, dude. ;)
You went leaps and bounds over it, imho. Last time we do this, okey? I think we've broken a few codes of conduct...heh!
But still "luv" ya anyways. Ciao - and good night! :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 04:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Good idea!
Sounds good - I was going to say the same thing after thinking about it. How about we not' get blocked? :)
Same. Hope that you have fun today! —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 15:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Ouch. Didn't read the first one until Pianista said that she knew that I read it...which totally worked in reverse, Pianista :P And now I don't dare read anything else. You people scare the wits out of me. You don't want more vomit on your front yard, do you? And be glad there's no window in front of your kitchen counter... Gods, if there is, I am officially avoiding Pianista&your pages until my sanity comes up to half-adequate standards... Icy // ♫ 21:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
