Don’t worry. I’m still waiting for ya.
Ah, a “sleeping dictionary”.
That’s… odd? Sad? Not that I’m sad for my language gaining an exciting speaker, but sad for the poor little (fictional) Finno-Ugric language.
Back in 1992, I stayed in a Budapest apartment for a month with a wall of books (pretty much de rigeur over there; I saw some apartments with all non-windows covered with books-shelves stacked 2-deep, and books sideways on top). Of particular interest to me was the book on La Cicciolina, who was just out of the Italian Parliament the photographic book on speakers of Finno-Ugric, small tribes where sometimes only 5 people were left speaking the language.
Finglish, hunh?

Interesting, hadn’t heard that phrase before, but knew instantly what you meant. I have heard “pillow dictionary” used to describe the same thing.
Wait…midnight, Raita’s time? Or midnight Donald’s time, when it’ll almost be the next day for Raita?

Wow that town’s wiki page is crazy.
That is one weird time zone!
And apparently I’m now 15 minutes shy of being 12 hours late to start.
OK, what’s happening? It’s reading time? What day/time/timezone is the first discussion? @SmashMartian, you got your copy?
Sure have. But if you’re all waiting for me to post first, someone should let me know what I’m supposed to do/say. I haven’t got a scooby how these things are meant to work!

Dictionary.com defines quarry as ‘an excavation or pit, usually open to the air, from which building stone, slate, or the like, is obtained by cutting, blasting, etc.’…

Audi is a good car. Ugly, but good. I have great stories about my 1978 5000.

Fine I just bought a copy. It is being beamed to my Kindle. I didn’t realize it was a death race.
