Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
Surprisingly, they're usually not naughty things.

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
It occurred to me yesterday that both the German and the Russian word for "emperor" most likely have the word "caesar" as their root.
In the German "Kaiser" (pronounced KY-zer) you have a version of "caesar" in which the C is pronounced as a K and each of the vowels is its own sound. You end up with something that you might spell like Kaësar, and that sounds a lot like the German pronunciation of Kaiser.
The Russian word for emperor is "tsar." The alternative English spelling "czar" hides the hard TS of the Russian pronunciation, which is probably also the reason I hear a lot of English-speakers pronounce it as "zar" rather than "tsar" (with a TS sound like that in the word "arts"). However, the Russian word is spelled with the Cyrillic equivalent of the letter C, and the spelling "czar" reveals its connection to "caesar." The Russian word for "caesar" is Цезарь (pronunciation: TSE-zar). It only takes a shortening or omission of the vowel to arrive at Царь (tsar).

I always just assumed as much, if less in-depth.

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
That's why I always insist on using a Kaiser roll as the bread bowl for my Caesar salad.

That's meta.
Is that meta? I think it's meta.

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
It would be more meta if the salad were removed via cesarean section by a drug czar.

If your brain goes in on itself, does that make your brain meta?

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
I think it does. If I go down on myself, what does that make me?

So talented you need never leave the house!
I usually think about work in the shower. It's really annoying.

This morning in the shower I thought about Mal. True story.

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
I was in the shower, thinking about work as usual, then I remembered that I told you guys about this in a thread about what Mal thinks about in the shower. So, accidentally and by proxy, I thought about Mal in the shower.

Oh c'mon. Don't pretend like that isn't a daily occurrence.

Re: Things Mal Thinks About in the Shower
Three or four times a week, for example, I find myself in the shower thinking "I wonder what Dalty is doing right now" as I'm performing the Dance of a Thousand Goiters. It's natural, Dimple. Don't be ashamed.
