Onxtää V-2 niinkuin se kirja V paizi että reikänä on number 2? Enzian on notmii jota valkonaamat panee perseeseen. Mikä ihme siinä on että Tom of New Englandin näköiset piipunrassit niin usein kuumuu persehommista? Tulee vähän mieleen Wilt Whatman mielimutiaisineen.
ellauri067.html on line 363: Foil: In fiction or non-fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character; most of the time it is the protagonist, to highlight qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. This is especially true in the case of metafiction and the story within a story motif. The word foil comes from the old practice of backing gems with foil to make them shine more brightly. Paranoids like Pynchon make foil hats to foil conspiracies.
ellauri077.html on line 236: Mä en ole koskaan kai menettänyt ketään kun en muista tollasia vaiheita. Varmaan kävin kimmakaverien suhteen läpi jotain tontyyppistä surutyötä. Silti vittu, denial ja bargaining varsinkin tuntuu täysin ufoilta. Mitäs siinä on kieltämistä, bänxit mitkä bänxit. Ja emmä kyllä rupeis ruinaamaan, jos ei tykätä niin ei tupata, sanoi Pirkko Hiekkala. Mikä ei tarkota ettei silti vois tuntua kamalalta. Depressio on enemmän kuin hyvänpäivän tuttu.

ellauri152.html on line 545: The plot was foiled by Queen Esther, the king's recent wife, who was herself a Jew. Esther invited Haman and the king to two banquets. In the second banquet, she informed the king that Haman was plotting to kill her (and the other Jews). This enraged the king, who was further angered when (after leaving the room briefly and returning) he discovered Haman had fallen on Esther's couch, intending to beg mercy from Esther, but which the king interpreted as a sexual advance.
ellauri171.html on line 717: Jael was a foil for Deborah, Bible heroine, a Supreme Judge of Israel – not a judge who passes sentence on criminals, but a leader and adviser in times of trouble. She badgered the Israelite general into joining battle with the Canaanites, even though the enemy had more soldiers and better equipment. God sent a rainstorm that made the Canaanite chariots sitting ducks for the Israelite slingmen – and Deborah was hailed as a national heroine.
ellauri182.html on line 218: Kirjallisuussiten jättimäinen luettelo yleisistä teemoista on "jännästi" vähän eri proosalle, runoudelle ja leffoille. Ehkä jotkut aiheet on liian monimutkaisia leffoille ja liian arkisia runoille? Proosan aiheet on lausemaisempia ja niissä on usein mukana joku opetus. Mutta onko runo- tai leffa-aiheita joita ei sovi käsitellä proosassa? Onko proosa, runot ja leffat yleisesti ottaen tarkoitettu eriluonteisille ihmisille ja sixi niiden teematkin on erilaisia, vastaten yleisön (ja/tai väsääjien) luonteenomaisia harrastuxia ja arvomaailmoja? Vai onko tässä otannallinen vääristymä. Se on todennäköistä. Sopii toivoa, että netti ym. julkisuudessa esiintyvien termiittiapinoiden pärstien ja mielipiteiden tomppelius on vääristymä sekin, eli esiin nousevat pahimmat paskakökkäreet kuin kerma maidon pinnalle. Vaikka toisaalta, tavallset turvelothan ne kökkäreet esiin nostavat kuin 200M kärpästä, Google-äänestyxellä.
ellauri197.html on line 613: Tarkastaja Gently muistuttaa erehdyttävästi Suomen pienen tasavallan pientä presidenttiä Sauli Niinistöä. Ei vaan ulkonäöltä vaan varsinkin taantumuxellisten poliittisten näkemysten osalta. Vahva ääni oikealta brexitin puolesta, vastaan Skotlannin izenäistymistä, iso peukku Suomen ja Ruozin Nato-optiolle kunhan saadaan sovituxi hinnasta. Lännen rintamaan ei saa tulla aukkoja. Salomonin saarelaisten lipeeminen vinkuintiaanileiriin on kiireimmiten estettävä, muuten on Australian turvallisuus vaarassa, ja USA:n Tyynen meren herruus mennyttä. Törkyturpaisempi beatlestukka on mukana vaan foilina alleviivaamassa Gentlyn keskiluokan pyhimystä. Honor and dignity ja muuta sellasta perinteistä brittischeissea. Tony Blair. Assangen luovutus. Boris Johnsonin koronajuhlat. Siinähähän on näitä mallixi.

TWA flight 741 was one of three planes successfully hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine that day — the hijacking of an El Al plane was foiled by the onboard sky marshals. At the time, I was a 14-year old foreskinned kid living in Trenton, New Jersey, whose only care was how the Baltimore Orioles were doing. This event changed my life, as well as the lives of the other 350 people who were on those planes. Mostly for the better, we became instant celebrities.

Imagine the horror and disgust that I, my family and other hijack victims experienced when we read that Leila Khaled, one of the hijackers directly involved in the 1970 attacks, had been invited by San Francisco State University to address a forum on Gender, Justice and Resistance. Ms. Khaled is a convicted terrorist. She has paid her debt to society. She is a member of the PFLP. She is a symbol not of justice and resistance, but of wanton terrorism and death. Khaled spent only a few days in jail. After her failed hijacking of the El Al plane, she was transferred by the Israeli sky marshals to the British police and released in exchange for hostages when a fifth plane was hijacked to secure her freedom.

ellauri226.html on line 116: Dave is full of breathless switchbacks. You’re always veering giddily from fleeting exaltations (the joy of motion, the wildness of the landscape, the generosity of a peasant) to tedious exasperations (almost everything else). Luckily he had his wife along, the formidable Frieda (he refers to her as “the Q.B.,” for queen bee - Kuningatar! Eskin valtiatar on sekin vanhemmiten aika formidable), whose shrewd affirmations provided a foil for his grumbling discontents. Lawrence found the city “all bibs and bobs" . . . rather bare, rather stark, much of the city was levelled by Allied bombs, and it has not exactly been lovingly restored. “They pour themselves one over the other,” Lawrence sniffed of the Italians, “like so much melted butter over parsnips.” Lawrence ize preferoi tankeampia kelttijuurikkaita.

xxx/ellauri187.html on line 99: Born in 1875 in Prague, Rilke was until he was six or seven got up in skirts by his mother, who named him René and tried to console herself for the death of an infant daughter. By the time Rilke was ten, his disappointed romantic of a mother had left his father, a kindly but ineffectual minor railway official, who had spent some years in the Austrian army unsuccessfully seeking commission as an officer. Rilke's parents decided to send the young boy to military school, a prospect that stirred the father's hopes of turning his son into a soldier. LOL. Though he later claimed to have loathed military school, the young bohemian warmly absorbed the values of discipline, valor, and self-sacrifice into his ideal of the defiant artist-hero. He skillfully foiled his father's martial expectations, and lack of funds freed the aspiring poet from his family's next plans for him: law school. In fact, though he attended several universities, soaking up lectures on diverse subjects throughout his life, he never graduated from any of them. About such a practical matter as a sheepskin, the finest German lyricist since Goethe wrote as an adolescent, "And even if I never reach my Arts degree / I'm still a scholar, as I wished to be."
