that's awesome

Yoda = Pass, you shall not. Gandalf = You shall not PASS!

I'd be more worried if it didn't happen

i think we can all agree that Gandalf gets better marks for grammar.

Yoda rules, he does yes?

well since Yoda is speaking in a foreign language he gets points for grabbing your attention and getting his point across at the same time.

somehow neither of my family members were concentrating on the grammar and language skills. does good grammar give more power?

only if the enemy's weakness is grammar

*good grammar

can't we convince the world that good grammar = more power? It would make me worry less about the future of civilization.

good point, Nutty! i wonder about spelling.... or hair, like samson - seems Gandalf would win again

no question that yoda is more realistic than either my son or husband.

So, ahuva, you are saying that you don't have this kind of conversation? Um, what did you miss?

i listened. and laughed. i was doing something else in the other room, and was enjoying eaves-dropping

when I eaves drop... it means the roof fell off!

my father would rather debate the merits of one founding father's constitutional ideas vs. another.

it makes for real riveting conversation, lemme tell you.

Well, that certainly sounds worthy of discussion

by somebody other than me

in a room far away

quietly

actually, my family (ALL of us) will discuss Hannibal's use/misuse of elephants. Passionately. for hours. history is "our thing"

remind me to invite your Dad for dinner, Rrishy!

My wife was a history major with a specialty in constitutional and legal history, and I'm just a history geek, so we have odd conversations

I was an ancient history major, my son is a classics major, my husband just likes history. and warfare. our conversations range widely

Widely or Wildly?

BOTH widely and wildly. our dinner guests know to expect academic debate and google interruptions for corroborating evidence. *grin*

Blackberrys for dessert
