Bary Manilow shoulda been disconsorted at birth.

Disconsortion? Don't catholics call that excommunication?

They actually called it thoutube back then. Since this took place in the PG (pre-google) era there is no known record. Sorry.

Along these lines it fairly well known that Henry had a brush with the law when it was discovered he had some under aged porn on his scrolls. He was able to get off by claiming he was doing scholarly research on the topic so the authorities looked the other way... after they spent a month in the tower to think it over.

And when Henry told Anne Boleyn that he wanted some head, she might have been smart to get a clarification too.:eek:

ROFLMAO!!!

Definitely the post of the week!

Really?

Just goes to show, there's no way to predict the road to success - best plan is to just keep throwing sh1t up there and hope somehow your efforts are rewarded.

Hey, I treat em like fans...I hear ya, but I am not listening.. :D

It's all good...

Well, I know that this will disconcert Mark, but the word comes from Latin (at least not from the French. :)):

concertatio -onis f.: contest , strife, dispute

In the XVII century "concertare" was a musical form where the instruments were disputing with each other. Now the verb "concertare" in Italian means exactly the opposite of its Latin ancestor, because it means "to get together in order to find an agreement", in music and politics. Besides the musical reason, it can be also because of the similar word

concentus -us m.: singing together, harmony; hence: agreement, unity, concord

I am familiar with the "concertatio" (pronounced kon-cur-tay-tee-o) reference since I took two years of Latin in HS and two more years of it in college.

Don't ask me why. :o

Alas, like many Latin words, this one crept into English via French, in this case the obsolete French verb 'desconcerter'. Thank the Normans.

I had five years of Latin in HS after two years also in MS, so I easily beat you. :p

And, of course, we pronounced "concertatio" in a very different way: something like "con-cher-tah-tsee-o". Ecclesiastical pronunciation, they call it.

So it takes 5 years to graduate high school in the metric system?

Maybe he was red-shirted? (a metric red shirt is kinda maroonish purple btw)

You know that one meter is larger than one yard, one kilogram is more than one pound, one liter is more than one pint. So we need one year more in HS. :)

Canadians say that they use the metric system, but I believe they are cheating. :)

:eek: No, no: our HS takes five years. And, of course, we don't say red-shirted: the real name of the color would be too long to say. :)
