If you're going to quote someone, at least try to spell the name correctly, as well as the quote itself. ESPECIALLY when quoting Oscar Wilde... [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

Pleurisding is intranslatable... well I can translate it but you can't really get the connotations and tone if you're not a native speaker of Dutch. We tend to use nasty diseases as swearwords, surely you have hear of pleurisy? So, pleurisding = pleurisy-thing.
Lol! Quite apt as Pleurisy feels like someone stabbing you in the chest, over and over, 24 hours a day, for a few weeks...

My wife stuck Freddie Prinze Jr and "You go girl!" stickers to mine a while back so I tend to see it as an impetulant teen.

My Polluter is the favorite though...
