    WELL I LIED

    But I will post concluding thread in forthcoming days, I want to try recording something myself so at least we'll have duel, not walk-over victory. If someone feels like doing it he may feel free to catch up until new thread is still not there.

    Now I feel bad. I'm getting "likes" for the above, when I was just repeating Aramis's pun from another thread.

    Gotta give credit (or blame) where it's due.

    I demand you send all financial retributions you received for posts that repeated my concepts to my account. Then I'll pay the other geezer who invented all my concepts and I just repeated them, two links later money goes to professional writer, then after another hundred it reaches Schiller and finally, after 32875434 links more all that money goes to Shakespeare because he had all the world's concepts and ultimately we all just repeat them.

    I knew it! Creativity is all just one big pyramid scheme!

    If Elena House decides to submit something, you'll be all in trouble.

    Yes, certainly in trouble if we would have to watch another of those cute videos.

    Later tonight. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no Euro 2012 game today. If I don't have to scream at the Italian players, my voice will be in better shape.

    Not so fast. I have submitted my own cute video. "Quando men vo." Elegant sets, lovely gown.

    Aramis, did you get it?

    Yes, after ten minutes of thinking I finally got it - you mention gown and aria about woman singing about being attractive and enjoying looks that men send her while being male, the point of the joke is that we imagine you, a geezer, in that gown, singing that aria while making seductive gestures. This picture can be considered comical and it makes us laugh.

    Did I get it right?
