Hello again MOL, May I call you Elaine?
ReplyDeleteRather than run the risk of having my comment deemed inappropriate over on WP, instead I'll run it by you: You mentioned a possible movie titled "Intonement"...or as it would no doubt play in Islamic countries as...Instonement!
"Let he without sin ....

Whoops! Elaine, meant to say Astonement, Have I atoned?

@WHH/CaseAce
ReplyDeleteOf course you may call me by name!
And here's an explanation re the above (for all three of my readers):
The NYT crossword blog, WordPlay, often sees comments from Mean Old Lady and Warren Howie Hughes. On Monday I made the following proposal, citing the names of some of the tougher puzzle constructors:
(Addressing a multi-lingual commenter:) Please to construct a killer puzzle full of words from your vast collection of foreign language dictionaries, (especially Sinhalese)..... and then we'll kidnap Will Shortz, Tim Croce, Kevin Der, Brad Wilber, and a few other sadists and lock them in a dungeon until they come up with a correct solve! Oh, and pauer #22, you're on the list, too. (It's Patrick Blindauer, poorly disguised.) We can make a movie of this, entitled 'Atonement.'
so THIS is where the party is...
ReplyDelete:-)
ps...Gawd, MOL, I would LOVE some of that fresh fresh asparagus...may some day i will be able to have a real live garden again! In the meantime I am living vicariously thru your pix...
luv P.
Elaine, I am sincerely humbled by the props you extend my way,not only in the past,but right up to this day.
ReplyDeleteWe have been honorary members of the M.A.S.O.A.since my arrival in Wordplay ever since that lovely day I had the distinct pleasure to join the scintillating company, of not only yourself, but of the other illuminating characters that regularly light up the site, each and every night. However,with your latest compliment; allow moi to say in my estimation, you are the closest person I've encountered anywhere who is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as
America's most beloved female humorist, namely, the late great Erma Bombeck! I mean it, Elaine, you're every bit as funny, with this earthy wit (due a lot, no doubt, to spending too much time in your garden?)But you get it, and so do we, every time a comment of yours is posted on the WP blog.
I just know you'll figure out what M.A.S.O.A. stands for...probably already have, being that you're equipped with such a quick and quirky mind! Hahahahaha
