7. Incomplete.
You have drunk Bud but you cannot conjugate simple sentences. You may not conjugate with your SO until the end of semester.

Unless you correctly conjugate FOUR sentences using the verb forms show above.

17. Past Loves - Manuel Gutierrez Najera
Past loves are now empty glasses;
onto them we poured some little bit of love;
the nectar we drank... the days flew past...
bring out some fresh glasses and some new liquor.

Champagne are the blonds with skin like azaleas;
Burgundy wine are those bright colored lips;
those deep dark eyes are like the wine from Italia,
The green ones for certain, are wine from the Rhine.

Those red colored lips are luscious strawberries;
and those brown colored eyes have the flavor of coffee
those blue eyes remind me of impish flames,
that tremble and run over brandy flambe...

Some poetic license in the translation, and I omitted the last verse, so as not to offend modern sensitivities (the author is from the XIXth century).

Tomorrow, when I will have not drunk so much, I will Google the poet and enjoy more delicacies.

Good stab at translating. Translating poetry is one of the hardest jobs in the world!

28. For Then
I want to die young at the end of the day On the High Sea, with face to the sky, When agony is but a dream far away And the flight of my soul is a bird soaring by.

Let there be no sad tears as I draw my last breath, at one and alone with the sky and the sea, No sobbing, nor prayer, nor laments of death; I only would hear the deep waves cover me.

To die when the bright glow of twilight is fading, And catches the waves in its last net of light; To be like that sun as its luminous shading Expires and is lost in the arms of the night.

To die, and die young: before time has destroyed The delicate fabric illusion has spun; When life can still say:"I am yours," but the void Of a final echo tells us death has won!

- Gossamer Stories,
Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera,
Translated by John A. Crow

"Yum" is not a proper conjugation of the verb "to drink" in any form. Please finish your chilled mug and try again. Thank you.

I would have thought higher of my fellow DUers. After more than one thousand millimeters the supply has gone dry in the man a good man household. If you have anything good to say please say it now or forever hold your peace. And please, no Galician.

38. Homer vs. Homer
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 12:31 AM by cemaphonic
I thought I had lost this years ago:

Homer the Greek: "You, the bravest of all Achaeans--and not one with the spine to battle Hector face-to-face!"

Homer the Simpson: "First, scream like a woman, then when he turns away in disgust, it's time to kick some back!"


Homer the Greek: "For Fate has wove the thread of life with pain,
And twins ev'n from the birth are Misery and Man!"

Homer the Simpson: "If it's any consolation, life is just one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead!"


Homer the Greek: "Toil is the lot of all, and bitter woe
The fate of many."

Homer the Simpson: "Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never Try"


Homer the Greek: "Who on earth could blame them? Ah, no wonder
the men of Troy and Argives under arms have suffered
years of agony all for her, for such a woman.
Beauty, terrible beauty!"

Homer the Simpson: "Actually, a woman is more like a beer. They smell good," (sniffs beer)"they look good," (looks at beer) "you'd step over your own mother just to get one!" (guzzles beer) "But you can't stop at one... You want to drink
another woman!" (grabs another beer, opens it. Skip ahead to later that same day. Empty beer cans are strewn around the table, and Homer continues) "So I says 'Yeah? If you want that money, come and find it, cause I don't have it, you baloney... you make me wanna retch!" (Falls asleep.)

37. Etymology:
drink (v.)
O.E. drincan "to drink," also "to swallow up, engulf" (class III strong verb; past tense dranc, pp. druncen), from P.Gmc. *drengkan, of uncertain origin.

...."Semantically the deriv. fr. 'draw' (cf. N.E. take a draught, Lat. ducere pocula, sucos, etc.) is the most attractive, and so ultimate connection with O.E. dragan 'draw,' etc., through a nasalized form of a parallel root ...."

Not found outside Gmc. Most I.E. words for this trace to PIE *po(i)- (cf. Gk. pino, L. biber, Ir. ibim, O.C.S. piti, Rus. pit'; see link:www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=imbibe|imbibe]). The noun meaning "beverage, alcoholic beverage" was also in O.E. To drink like a fish is first recorded 1747.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also
drink / imbibe / poison / Mickey Finn / swig / sling / potion / toast (n.) / highball / beer / martini / bibulous / tiddlywinks / drench / sangria / chaser / lampoon / tipple / sup (2) / cider / sherbet / mead (1) / carouse / slug (2) / booze / coddle / julep / glug / voracious / fizz / Collins / seven-up / symposium / treat (v.) / pimento / sillabub / tope / Bismarck / Dr. Pepper / rickey / flip (n.) / daiquiri / Ovaltine / refill (v.) / punch (n.2) / binge / snort / gulch / woozy / befuddle

44. He certainly has
and as a punishment Mr. Man you need to produce an essay (500 words or less) which includes every tense and conjugation of the verb "to schmooze." Your final grade depends on it.

45. Here's a formula to generate all those forms
Subject Tense (Modal) (have + -ed) (be + -ing) schmooze

where Subject = I, you, he, she, it, we, you or they;

Tense = past or present (these are the only tenses in English syntax)

present/past Modal = shall/should, will/would, may/might, or can/could

Items in parentheses are optional

Tense, -ed (if present), and -ing (if present) act to the right.
