Lets resolve our difficulties and misunderstandings in here :)

Your conclusion is perfect actually.
Any thread (almost anything) that has been started by
Egoistka should be (can be) placed in the flamers paradise section.
She (or he) simply does flame (most of the time)!

why do you say "She (or he)" if in this same thread you already called her Oksana, which you know, better than most of us, it is a girls' name?

although she has written some things (or started threads) that I really consider unnecesary, excesive, or simply absurd, I have to recognize that others are good... and lately, the god ones appear more often than the (IMO) bad ones...

Philly_Chris,

I guess you just missed my joke. I quoted actually a very famous
children's writer. Many people read this in translation, but you, assuming that you are an English native-speaker, must have read Lewis Carol books in original tounge.

Please do not tell me that you have not.

Sorry dude I have not read Lewis Carol . . . what Genre is the writing even? I prefer to read Hunter S. Thompson, and assorted non-fiction.

Lewis Carol (Dodgson) wrote "Alice in the Wonderland" and "Through the looking glass".

Also to clarify a "realist".... is actually a practical person who concerns himself with the facts as they are known to him rather than with things as they might be

I know yer kinda mysterious person but understand me please - I am too stupid to conceive you from half of a word... so I still dont got why yer left us and suddenly came back with another nick

That's downright embarrassing...for you anyway...to think an English speaking (and fellow American) person doesn't know who Lewis Carroll is OR what he wrote. I'd definitely recommend reading his 2 most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. To get the best impact, I'd also recommend you find editions of both with the original illustrations by John Tenniel.


JABBERWOCKY
Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Rae I'm not even sure what you mean there and moreso may I ask, what possible difference could it make to know this ?

To be Frank (even though its not my name) I am not at all embarrassed by this, let me think again . . nooooooope still not embarrassed why? Because yes I did read both of those books . . . about 9 years ago in high school . . . however remembering authors and quoting literature is not something that I really put a priority on . . hey more power to you if you can do it, that greats and all, hope you win a contest with that . . but me I could care less, I have more important issue and things (in my own opinion) to remember. You know people find interest in many different things . . Can you name five of Salvador Dali's Paintings? It doesn't really matter if you can or you can't . . I wouldn't tell you that you should be embarrassed though. But hey am I proud of Lewis Carroll I sure as hell am, that guy writes a hell of a book about an acid trip. Now there's a role model for you kids.

Hmm I too am an English speaking American....and had no idea who Lewis Carroll is nor am I exactly sure why were are to read these books. My point is I DO in fact know what a realist is, but you have totally lost me on a JABBERWOCKY....lol
