Would it be a waste of time to ask what you're talking about?

Just depends on what your definition of "just" is...

 

[gkainz]

since I was recently schooled in journalism's use of "dies" versus "died" (and schooled poorly, I guess, as I can't recall the journalism term for that tense...or maybe I refuse to accept it as correct?) ... you read the headline and it says "Alex Karras dies" ... not "Alex Karras died ...2012" so maybe he did "just" die?

If you have to ask, you're too young. "Mongo" was a character in "Blazing Saddles". Look that up in your Funk and Wagnall's.

I'm aware of that, and the database similarly named, but neither one died recently (as has been previously observed). Hence my question.

Did you understand my last statement about Funk and Wagnall's?

Where should he look up Funk and Wagnall’s ?

 

[paflyer]

You bet your sweet bippy I did. And that’s the truth.

One of my favorite scenes:

From your response it is very clear that you did.

I found a set of Funk & Wagnall’s at a resale shop a few weeks ago. Wondered if it might not be fun to have that on the bookcase at work as a conversation piece...the irony of telling somebody to Google it...
