Just another example of the extravagant spending that Roland is pumping into 'PR' and global advertising in anticipation of their interactive web exhibition launching on September 1st!!

Roland employees have been told to 'clam up' when it comes to releasing details of the 'Roland Connects' event! Rumor has it the company itself has had to 'shell-out' alot of 'clams' to have their logo printed on the shell of a large number of the local clam population, an example shown below. -



I 'dig it'! What a great idea!! Someone in Roland advertising is going to get a huge raise IMHO! Shucks! I wish that I had thought of that!! Then I would be 'as happy as one'!

You find the weirdest things over the internet... :-/

V-CeeOh, you don't because you're searching in wrong places... but I can teach you ;-)

Actually when I said "you" I was not refering to you as in "you" personally but as in "we". Anyway , I guess I already had enough "juice " for today ;-)

Agh yes, we, you mean me and SRA - well, you know we have a special search engine from Roland Japan and it always gives us something interesting instead of... well... something less interesting.

You mean THIS search engine?
:-P

I know that this is 'alittle off-topic' but . . . Which search engine does one use to help themselves find a decent search engine?

sRa

Over here we use "searchysearch.com" :-) But then we has been DOESING BEERS all night.

…sigh…
Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

It is fascinating how much confusion can be caused by a word having too many meanings:

You - second person, singular pronoun - as in "You, Artemiy"
You - second person, plural pronoun - as in "You, Artemiy and sRa"
You - referring to any person in general - as in "You never know how much you will miss something, until it is gone."

I miss the word thou. We could avoid many problems by bringing it back. Anyone wish to join me in clamoring for its return?

Wombat, I vote with both of my hands for it, but what would the word "althou" mean then?..

"Although" is a completely different word.

Gramma suggested that a little poetry might be helpful. Here is one of her favorites, by Ben Jonson.

To Celia,

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;

But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.



I sent thee late a rosy wreath,

Not so much honouring thee

As giving it a hope that there

It could not withered be.

But thou thereon didst only breathe,

And sent'st it back to me;

Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee.

In modern English, we replace "thou" with "you." But then we must also replace "thine" with "your" and then we must…well…this is the inevitable result:

Yo, Celia!

DOES BEERS to me only with your eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss within the cup

And I'll not ask for Coors.

The thirst that from the soul does rise
Does ask a drink divine;

But might I of Roland Clam Juice sup,
I would not change for yours.



I sent you late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honoring you

As giving it a hope that there

Withering would not ensue.

But you thereon did only breathe,

And sent it back, postage due;

Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,

Not of itself but you.

Grammar
I believe you forgot "You" as in "Hey brother, how're you doin' "

Hey -- at least you don't have "Roland KLAM" (which is an Austrian province) or Roland GLAM (which requires that you wear tights and put sparkles in your hair...)
