01:30:38 <jessica> I personally think that one should vouvoyer their spouse and tutoyer their mistress.
01:30:52 <zachb> Heh
01:31:23 <zachb> Well, depends on what fantasy's going on ;p
01:31:26 <jessica> I also maintain that distinction with my daughters and with my parents. I tutoyer the children, they vouvoyer me. The same applies in the next generation.

01:32:08 <zachb> You speak nativly?
01:32:39 <zachb> jessica: I imagine
01:34:20 <jessica> Yes and no. I was brought up by my grandmother after age 5, who was an Acadian and predominantly spoke Acadian French to me. However, I was schooled in English and used English exclusively outside of academic and travel contexts for the next 6 years. I was then intermittently exposed to another dialect (Québecois) after my marriage, but not frequently. I use what I have often with my children, both of whom are natural
01:34:20 <jessica> linguists and actually often have better pronunciation than I do.
01:34:33 <|bjoern|> I would like to say I'm too young for this, but I am not.
01:35:14 <zachb> Heh, wow
01:35:32 <MacTed> ! Acadian Quebecois heritage here, too... by way of Maine
01:35:32 <jessica> My reception of French is great and allows me to read Webpages, novels, Wikipedia, & c. in French. It also allows me to hear French and understand about 60% of it, more than I do with English. My writing is slow but methodical and reliable, and my speech is terribly tangled due to two archaic French Canadian dialects mingling with the Hexagon French learned at school.
01:35:46 <jessica> MacTed -- my mother grew up in Caribou.
01:36:03 <MacTed> !! one of my current best friends is from Caribou
01:36:05 <jessica> Mémé was from Trois-Rivieres but I can't remember which side of the border.
01:36:25 <jessica> IIRC.
01:36:41 <jessica> But I personally haven't gone up there much. I grew up in New Hampshire.
01:37:13 <MacTed> *nods* I grew up midway between Boston and Cape Cod, on the coast
01:37:28 <jessica> yep. I live in Cambridge now. I prefer it here.

02:02:25 <Arnia> Oh, I should book a holiday in Freiberg soon... or Villingen
02:02:31 <|bjoern|> Next I shall pretend to study elsewhere

02:07:06 <zachb> the porn version
02:07:23 <|bjoern|> u perhaps
02:07:24 <zachb> its pretty much proof of rule 37 (#?)
02:07:49 <jessica> Ah, no. I'm married to a German-American, and a Swabian at that, remember? We have used phenny for nefarious purposes, such as arguing about the correct spelling of a phrase.
02:08:04 * jessica points Bjoern at her private message, which she thought he might find a touch amusing.
02:08:16 <zachb> Its about me, no?
02:08:29 * zachb feels rejected and cries
02:09:05 <jessica> no, it's insulting to Germans, but Germans tend to have a good sense of humour about themselves, sort of like mocking Italians about their driving skills, they're fine with that.
02:09:19 <zachb> what is?
02:09:24 <jessica> fine. it goes here. but I'll earn undying enmity of some.
02:10:44 <jessica> I've found all the Germans I met to be unfailingly courteous, fairly relaxed about ethnic jokes at their expense, overly focused on details and pedantry in general, and busy practicing the post-WW2 rule of constant talking about the Holocaust even more than Israelis do while making sure to purchase all assets possible in the winners' countries.
02:11:10 <jessica> Oh, and they squeeze a nickel until the buffalo shits and the Indian screams.
02:11:26 <|bjoern|> Well, except for the last point, I could live up to that.
02:11:48 <jessica> But I'm sure there's a group of relaxed group of spendthrift Germans who can stop living in the past who are rude to people. I just haven't met them yet.
02:13:06 <jessica> It's telling, however, that Germans on holiday are the most likely to be mixed up with Americans on holiday by everyone else. I can't tell if it's the dentistry, the relentless reliance on maps and travel guides, or the bad fashion sense. But I'm a natural-born American and even *I* fuck it up, and I can pick out every other tourist in town.

13:29:38 <_bjoern> If you add an 's' to "Atompub" you have a german nuclear fart.
13:31:29 <jessica> Given the steady German diet of cabbage, potatoes and various kinds of sausage, is there any *other* kind of Teutonic flatulence?
13:33:03 <_bjoern> Great, you did it, now I'm hungry.
13:34:11 <jessica> My most sincere apologies, my good man.
13:35:26 <jessica> However, given my experience of Schwabenküche, you should be able to obtain those things with remarkable speed.
13:35:49 <jessica> I shudder to think of the fate of the vegetarian American tourist in Germany.
13:38:42 <Arnia> jessica: roasted at 200 for five hours
13:39:21 <jessica> you know, one of the things that keeps me from travelling abroad in an apartment swap or something of that nature is the fact that I would be utterly fucked on cooking.
13:40:06 <jessica> I've done fairly well at adapting to metric in a lot of things, but cooking is an area where I am firmly used to American measurements.
13:40:39 <jessica> Speaking of which, when you buy marijuana abroad, is it still sold by the ounce and fractions thereof, or has the persistence of metric led people to buy it by the gramme?
13:44:24 <_bjoern> I am no expert, but I am quite certain it's metric.
13:44:58 <jessica> Grazie. You have enlightened me!
13:45:37 <_bjoern> It's what I do!
13:50:54 <xover> jessica: Have you never observed that American, even North American, drug dealers refer to their product in terms of “kees” (kilogrammes)?
13:51:11 <jessica> Depends on the product, sir!
13:51:27 <jessica> Clearly you haven't been a tourist in the correct parts of the U.S.
13:51:49 <jessica> Marijuana is sold by the ounce and pound. Cocaine and heroin are sold by the gram and kilogram.
13:52:09 <jessica> MDMA is sold by the pill and LSD is sold by the individual dose.
13:52:39 <xover> Marijuana is not a drug, in any meaningfull sense of the word that I care to apply in this context.
13:52:45 <jessica> have I missed anything of importance?
13:52:53 <jessica> oh, no. I don't think of it as anything more than a harmless diversion.
13:53:21 <jessica> but it is sold as part of a tax-free largely unfettered free market economy.
13:53:27 <jessica> (Thanks, Adam Smith!)
13:53:46 <xover> heh heh
13:55:52 <tobbez> http://drhorrible.com/
13:55:57 <_bjoern> I thought Marijuana is used to make ropes, bags, and clothing
13:55:58 <chris2> it's sold in grammes here in germany
13:56:31 <_bjoern> and I observe these days it's often difficult to tell ropes, bags, and clothing apart.
14:01:00 * jessica notes that hemp and marijuana are separate entities.
14:01:09 <jessica> For instance, one gets you high. The other makes very uncomfortable jeans.
14:02:23 <sbp> which one is which?
14:03:11 <sbp> what brings you back to Swhack, by the way, jessica, after such a long absence?
14:03:46 <jessica> http://everything.hemp.com/ does not get you high.
14:03:53 <_bjoern> What is the effect of smoking one of those uncomfortable jeans?

14:05:02 <_bjoern> I won't ask how you found out.
14:05:19 <jessica> Sean: Nothing in particular. Boredom. Agoraphobia. Lack of sociability elsewhere.
14:06:15 <sbp> why a lack of sociability elsewhere?
14:07:13 <jessica> Hmm. Good question.
14:07:23 <jessica> I'm used to friends dropping by constantly, impromptu dinner parties, & c.
14:07:37 <jessica> What with finals and everyone leaving town on internships and the like, it's very much slowed down.
14:07:44 <sbp> well also, what about your other online venues?
14:07:48 <jessica> I still talk to people via AIM & c., but it doesn't provide group sociability.
14:07:50 <sbp> livejournal, joiito, and the like
14:09:09 <jessica> #joiito is strictly for picking up geek fanboys or to pick arguments. It's too large to talk to the same people twice. LiveJournal is a static medium. I write something. People respond. It's not really a give-and-take thing, it's more of a give-once, read inane comments and a few thoughtful ones, and then move on.
14:09:42 <jessica> FaceBook is, effectively, an enormous meme.
14:09:53 <sbp> it only has ten more people than we do
14:10:19 <jessica> True, but it's got a much worse signal:noise ratio. Other venues that I've partaken of include USENET but that also has deteriorated terribly.
14:11:00 <sbp> what kind of things do you think are behind good signal:noise ratios?
14:11:15 <_bjoern> USENET
14:11:34 <_bjoern> Yes, deterioration terrible.

18:38:01 *** sbp changed the topic to: "<jsled> Well aren't your polly quicky pants?"
18:39:35 <d8uv> so
18:40:04 <sbp> good call on the Hamlet
18:40:18 <d8uv> Thank you
18:40:30 <d8uv> Even though you're probably gonna yell at me
18:40:47 <d8uv> As Polonius may not be, in fact, a big fancy gay
18:41:06 <d8uv> But in that scene, it works pretty well
18:41:10 <sbp> it's better than most Shakespearean editions I've read, really
18:41:35 <sbp> I've seen editions where, I'm not kidding, they have changed words to their opposite meanings in places, because they think it works better
18:41:51 <d8uv> What
18:42:18 <sbp> I remember I was reading a play once
18:42:22 <sbp> and one of the bits didn't make sense
18:42:29 <sbp> and then I read a book about the play the next day
18:42:36 <d8uv> So my stupid sophomoric substitution that I did in all of 5 minutes is better than actual scholarly subject?
18:42:49 <sbp> and it expressed its frustration at modern editors often changing that passage to its opposite meaning from the original texts
18:42:52 <sbp> and I was like "...aha"
18:42:58 <sbp> pretty much, yeah
18:43:06 <sbp> man, I could go into the history of this
18:43:13 <sbp> there is a *history* of terrible amendments
18:43:28 <sbp> I think Warburton was the peak. he went through all the texts just changing and fixing things pretty much at random
18:43:30 <d8uv> That's both completely awesome, and horribly depressing
18:43:37 <sbp> he was a good scholar in other respects, but as an editor, dear oh dear
18:43:45 <sbp> but this goes on and on
18:44:02 <sbp> there are two versions of King Lear, and two of Hamlet, for example
18:44:27 <sbp> what happened, as far as we know, is that one version was made, then they changed it a bit (either Shakespeare or the playing company) and then played the new one for some years too
18:44:34 <sbp> but what do you think modern editors do?
18:44:45 <sbp> presumably either choose one or the other, or print both of them, right?
18:44:49 <sbp> BZZT
18:44:58 <sbp> they try to work out a "medium" version between the two
18:45:10 <sbp> taking some passages from one play and others from the other
18:45:21 <sbp> creating a confusing text that never before existed
18:45:43 <sbp> seriously, calling Polonius a big fancy gay is one of the least stupid emendments in the history of Shakespearean editing
18:50:43 <d8uv> ...
18:50:50 <d8uv> So I should try harder?
18:51:12 <sbp> heh, heh
18:51:24 <sbp> I don't think there's anything you can do to be that bad
18:51:31 <sbp> remember, these guys are serious!
18:51:52 <sbp> they're made of exceptional luls
18:53:05 <d8uv> Queen Gertrude: Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not for ever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust: Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.
18:53:24 <d8uv> Hamlet: Fuck off, bitch. I'm gonna go nom on some ham sandwiches.
18:53:24 <Monty> potty mouth!
18:53:41 <d8uv> How's that?
18:53:55 <sbp> psychologically makes sense, because Hamlet is continually avoiding his responsiblity
18:55:21 <sbp> you could just cut a bit of Timon of Athens out and smack it in the middle
18:55:22 <Monty> difficult to signal an interrupt, or knock some fit scousers, but I'll pass that pdt?
18:55:23 <sbp> that would work
18:55:34 <sbp> Timon of Athens is a mad experimental play that nobody likes
18:55:58 <sbp> though it's funny because I was reading Wikipedia the other day, and it said that there's only one play which has never been adapted for movie or television
18:56:05 <sbp> The Two Noble Kinsmen
18:56:18 <sbp> so Timon of Athens must have been adapted for movie or television somewhere...
18:56:35 <sbp> bet that would be miasmariffically interesting to watch
18:56:40 <d8uv> See the sad thing is that I actually read Hamlet and kinda know what to do for the best nerd comic effect
18:56:47 <sbp> yeah, heh
18:57:00 <sbp> I realised that
18:58:18 <d8uv> I don't know about Timon of Athens
18:58:29 <d8uv> But... an anime of it would totally be awesome
18:58:45 <sbp> hehe
18:58:52 <sbp> hmm. quite possibly
18:58:59 <sbp> oh man
18:59:08 <d8uv> ?
18:59:10 <sbp> I actually saw a comic of Henry V the other day
