Seriously, Monty Python and The Holy Grail = Greatest film of all time.

I need to find that on DVD. I'd also like to get the entire Mr. Bean series with Rowan Atkinson. It takes a serious amount of skill to keep the audience interested when there's almost no dialogue involved. He's beautifully bizarre. :-)

Remember the scene in the Life of Brian when the crowd was getting ready to stone some poor soul?

I'd sure learn to do some blacksmithing at some point, too, although I guess farrying (is that a word?) is not what I'd do;

I believe "farriering" is the correct spelling wolfie. Not a word you see or use every day. :-P

I'd focus more on interesting/useful items. Useful as a recreational item, not for "getting the job done", so to speak.

One of my buddies has a wife who makes chainmail vests and sells them for cash. Most of the people who purchase her work are involved in clubs like the 'Society for Creative Anachronism.' Wouldn't want to arm wrestle the lady.

Eh, you'll know what I mean.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. ;-)=

*noddles* Well, what can you expect from military types... I'm with Kurt Tucholsky there.

He served in WW I as a munitions soldier? Imagine if Tucholsky had crossed paths with Hitler during that time? The slightest divergence could've set a whole new chain of events in motion.

According to Merriam-Webster, it's a variant of "snippersnapper", which is a term of unknown origin.

Interesting. I thought Britannica.com might have some info on it but the search turned up zilch. The word can't be that old. Snippersnapper doesn't sound like your normal Medieval dialect. Sounds more like a word used in the late 1800's.

Oh, it is a good read. :) The witch novels in the Discworld series are Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade (although that one is more about the opera) and Carpe Jugulum - all quite worth reading.

*copy and print* Cool. I'll have to hit the huge Chapters bookstore on Broadway. I'm currently reading the Carlos Castaneda series for a second time. You can easily lose track of time when Don Juan and Don Genaro get metaphysical on Carlos' ass. He might have learned more if he didn't constantly pull out his notebook each time Juan or Genaro tried to explain something. >_<

"Maskerade", however, is one of my favourite Discworld books.

Did you ever find a copy of 'To Reign in Hell' by Steven Brust? I guarantee you won't be disappointed. :-)

That certainly not. Well, I can always use the excuse that English's not my first language; but in any case, Google seems to have about the same amount of results (~1k each) for both spellings.

One of my buddies has a wife who makes chainmail vests and sells them for cash. Most of the people who purchase her work are involved in clubs like the 'Society for Creative Anachronism.' Wouldn't want to arm wrestle the lady.

*chuckles* Neither would I, but then, I'm not a big fan of arm wrestling and similar things in general. ^_~ In any case, that sure sounds interesting, although I suppose it might also get a bit monotonous after a while if every customer just wants yet another chainmail item.

But I suppose you can't just work on interesting artsy stuff all the time - you've also got to make sure you can pay the bills.

He served in WW I as a munitions soldier? Imagine if Tucholsky had crossed paths with Hitler during that time? The slightest divergence could've set a whole new chain of events in motion.

Oh, yes, that certainly. We'll never know what would've happened in that case...

Interesting. I thought Britannica.com might have some info on it but the search turned up zilch. The word can't be that old. Snippersnapper doesn't sound like your normal Medieval dialect. Sounds more like a word used in the late 1800's.

Could well be; it certainly doesn't sound like a word I could imagine Shakespeare using, for example, not to mention people who lived even earlier than that.

*headshakes* Maybe it's just me, but "snippersnapper" sounds rather reminiscent of the sound of scissors to me.

In any case, who knows; Dictionary.com has this to say on "whippersnapper", in any case: "[Origin: 1665–75; prob. b. earlier whipster and snippersnapper, similar in sense; see whip, snap, -er1]". Earlier than I thought; it's a pity they don't cite sources or anything...

*copy and print* Cool. I'll have to hit the huge Chapters bookstore on Broadway. I'm currently reading the Carlos Castaneda series for a second time. You can easily lose track of time when Don Juan and Don Genaro get metaphysical on Carlos' ass. He might have learned more if he didn't constantly pull out his notebook each time Juan or Genaro tried to explain something. >_<

Also a very nice novel. That one's got lots of religious symbolism in as well...

The point I'm making is that there wasn't an outcry with Pratchett, where others would have had (and indeed did have) an outcry
