Liar!

Do as I say, not as I do. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c, conveniently ignoring your reply) Yes, yes I would . :P—Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

"That is meeeean. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean." —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

*dances* Ed's GONE! :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:22, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

AHEM.

(e/c) ::::Considering that you are quoting me, since when have you not been mean to me? I think that I am allowed to be mean to you every once in a while (e.g. once every minute or so). :D G'night pal! :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Since the beginning of time. I've always been nice to everyone. Now hush!

Oh, leaving? Are you sure, this time, not hanging around - you know, LYING?

Jk. Bonne nuit! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Not lying. Merely preparing in advance. Cheers, and enjoy the reply above (;D)! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

"Ooh, it all makes sense now!" :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

<singsong voice>Ed has ni-its, Ed has ni-its...</singsong voice> —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

...why. Just why do you have to look at all the diffs! :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

'Cause I like it. That's the reason I do everything I do...Musicians, you know... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

TRADEMARK INFRINGMENT! Ooo, you're dead meat, man... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) @ first - ...wa...? Oh now I get it, you perv. :D :D :D :D
@ second - Four letters: GDFL. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

-twitches- No...comment... IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 20:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

You perv. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Hahahahahaha I get on just as Pianista does hahahahahaha though I have to go again after this. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 22:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Crud, you caught me... *looks around for escape hatch* —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I just have to point out to Ed that that's the second time you've called La Pianista a liar in 5 days! Ouch. [2][3] -LittleMountain5 02:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Ed, you bully! :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

-cries- Certainly, even a former presidential candidate should show some measure of civility and consideration for others' emotions... I am truly disappointed :D :D IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 02:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

BTW, Ed never picked a running mate... You know what I'm sayin'? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c x 2) Would "you are stating the truth" work? Or "Pianista is a non-truth teller"? Or "Pianista is just another one of those cocky piano players"? :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c x 1) Psh - what do I care? I'm not gonna run again - Obama will easily win the next election if he does half of the stuff he promised! :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Aww, hoping that he'll drop Biden and pick you as his next VP? BTW, I'm a pianist. And I don't consider myself cocky. -dangerous grin- IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 02:53, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Small wonder. Pianists are the most modest people in the world, which further contributes to their awesome greatness. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

No, I happen to like Biden. He was my first choice for Pres, but then he dropped out. :)

Trumpeters would own you...they would blow you away...literally. ;)

So if you are modest, Ms. Pianista, what should we call Chris Rock? :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

They'd blow my eardrums out, more like it. Actually, where I go to class, there are trombones practicing in the hall. Great music, I must say, but...can't be nice. :D :D :D

Mr. Rock? Meh. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

BTW, do people REALLY still think I'm a dude? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Both work. :D Trombones just sound cool though!

...apparently....lol! :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

And yet...no one has ever assumed a male editor was female - always the other way around. Isn't that odd? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, there are more males than females editing Wikipedia, right? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:22, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I think so, but still... it's unsettling. Cue Icy's rant. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

No, some survey they did a couple years ago...but where is the survey? It's on WP somewhere becaue I remember looking at it, but... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) *changes subject* Whilst huggling, I came across this...must see. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

...are you sure that you didn't log out just to add that in there? :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Can't be me. I'm actually a sock of Willy. Oops, block coming... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

How do you know of Willy? You've been here for that long? Hmm didn't know that... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Why do I not like these two edits? Hmmm? Why not? You have one guess. :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

No, just picked up from my surroundings. :)

...Because they are prima facie evidence of my obsession with undermining every aspect of your character? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Ahh. I checked in for the first time only a few months after...people were still talking about him! April Fools Day '05 saw this too.

You would. You just would. :) ...but since when have I been a llama in Peru? o_O —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Lezee - you've been a dog, a victim of teh Kittehmaster, a knight "upon a white stallion," a possible secret admirer of moi :D :D :D, a soon-to-be-vampire after being bitten, as you well remember..., and so I'd figure, to add to your many personalities, you could be a comrade of Kuzco. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Are you saying that you like the admirers that turn out to be llamas? :P You reference that Emperor's New Groove? Really? You are so cool. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait, I never said I liked anyone! If there's anyone in the world worthy of my heart, it would be Rafał Blechacz. Go ahead, envy him. *sighs* —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

How did I just know that it would be a pianist. How? :) *pukes* —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:21, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I would be willing to learn Polish. :P There, tongue out again. Better? Can't leave it like that, though, might get the keyboard wet... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

BTW, what about Rafal could possibly make you puke? What fault can you find with the looks, expression, and overall gentlemanly demeanor? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:27, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c...DON'T ARCHIVE WHEN I TRY TO REPLY! :D) Jeez, if you slobber that much, he might start to like you just because you can French! :D :D :D :P :P :P

BTW, just what happened to me? After calling me "dear" and "love" do many times..... :) lol!

Sorry, but I'm 100% hetero, my dear. :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

<ignoring that utterly vulgar first response...Really? I have a chance? :D :D :D>

You, my friend, were eclipsed long ago. I was only mercilessly raising your hopes...only to crush them the moment after. Morally correct? No. Femme fatale? Oh, yeah.

Huh, like I couldn't tell... :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Hate those e/c's, eh? *tsk, tsk, tsk* Trumpeters and their slow fingers... :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) "Utterly vulgar"? Maybe you do. How should I know? Find him on Myspace, Facebook or the Polish Wikipedia...if you try the Pole WP, you could even polish your *ahem* mastery of the language!
='( I feel depressed. :D :D :D :D
Just making sure, love. :)
I could make a really sick joke there...but I won't. And you know what? I'll leave you with that perverted thought...BED TIME! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:56, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Dziękuję! (Thank you!)

That was the intended effect, love.

...

Oh, man, that is perverted - crud, now I can't sleep...

Nighty-night, sleep tight, do let the bed bugs bite. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:01, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

One last comment: sorry for the sick jokes...my friends and I got into it with "that's what she said" yesterday and part of today...so my mind has been, and is, stuck in the gutter... =/

I'll make sure to not spray the anti-bed-bug spray tonight, just for you! Ok, so that wasn't funny, but whatev. :)—Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Y'know, Eddie...don't take this the wrong way, all right?...You're a really nice guy. Your girl should be proud. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

*Serious blushing* ....thanks.... *looking at feet* I don't get compliments like that very often.One question though: do I really want to know how I could take that wrong? Or am I just being totally naive and something obvious is going over my head at this very moment?

Speaking of my girl, she is doing better with eating from what I hear from her and her friends! Thanks again for helping me with that...actually, bunches upon bunches of thanks for that....

And you know what? You are just plain freakin' cool. Your guy, or any guy that eventually woos you, is one of the luckiest guys on the planet. Well, I dunno. 24/7 laughing might hurt after awhile... :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:20, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I just realized that I totally missed my rant cue...hey, I didn't assign myself homework! -applauds- Finally, some true civility and kindness -happy face- Aww, brings such warmth to the heart of this little 'edian... IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 01:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

@ Ed:

Aw, pal, I'm touched. Speechless, really. *shrugs off blushes*

Thanks a million! :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

@ Icy - every once in a blue moon...enjoy it while you can. :D

@Pianista - don't worry—you deserved every one of those words. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps a red moon, soon... *eyeballs Ed's sig*

<'nother lively beat>I see...the red moon a-rising

I see...trouble down your way

I see...red men marching

I see...good times today

Don't come 'round tonight

We're bound to take your pride

Theeeere's a red moon, on the rise.</beat> :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

LOL nice adaptation there! Siriuslyz, u needz a lif....:P

So why aren't you on right NOW? HMMM? I'm on, and it's 2:45 here! :D :D :D :D

...sorry... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 07:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! Thank you very much...

Well, now I'm on. Are you? Hmmm? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I liked the 80's lyrics though! :D

No, I wasn't on then, but I am on now...so where are are you? :)

How'd your audition go? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You did? Somebody likes Sting.. Not that there's anything exactly wrong with that...but I need some material to bug you with. :D :D :D

Well, I wasn't on then, but I am on now...so where are you? :P

I did okay, but I felt I coulda done better. I got a nice shiny trophy, but there's that feeling in your gut that you just...COULDA, you know? Fumbled at the beginning (which I never did before, don't know why), but managed to pull it back together. I'm still kicking myself - but content with the shinies. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

(<- Out) I do, actually. 70's and 80's classic rock, baby!
Ok, this part of the conversation is ending now, as it would be never-ending otherwise. :)
Oh, I know that feeling...in the U.P. Finals for tennis, we won the first set 6-3, and lost the second 6-2 or 6-4 (I forget). I told myself right then that I was going to leave it all out on the court so that I didn't have that feeling, but now I always wonder whether or not I put all my strength into my serves during that last set... =/ (I was broken both times). We lost that 6-2 or 6-3, and that almost cost us the U.P. Finals title... (We woulda had it in the bag, but one of our two best players was sick that day, and so that flight lost in the second round after a bye with a JV player - giving us no points...) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you play tennis? (forgive me if this was on your userpage - sue me, I haven't read it lately...) I play racquetball - but I suck at it, sorry. Once, I gave this guy a perfectly circular bruise on his knee...tons of laughs for me, tons of ice for him. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:09, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

It's on there, but I guess that I can forgive you, if only becuase I WAS worried! I tried raquetball once, but we also just made up our own rules, so I have no idea if I'm good. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Awww...Eddie missed me...how cuuuuuute! :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Did that leapfrog me above the PP now?</dream> —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, let's say that you are here. *puts hand an inch above the floor* Mr. Blechacz is up here. *climbs on chair and presses hand to ceiling* All the "leapfrogging" you've done is about up here. *puts hand on desk* 'Twill take much more effort, much more. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

first episdoe

When I said first episdoe I met the kitten master!!! YOu said he would reapear on another episode but's already the 6th episdoe! (now rember?) And also topgear if you want to watch the first episode go to her humour page. --Spittlespat 02:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Well, I don't think Ed and I will be making any Bloody Murder episodes anytime soon. We've got some...uh...serious, uh, work to, you know, do. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c) And Spittle...remember that Wikipedia is not Myspace, alright? Hopefully you will remember this before you are warned or blocked... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Ed's right. Remember what happened to your friend, User:HJH Lady Renegade? That's why she was blocked - breaking WP:NOTMYSPACE. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Shut UP!! You don't want admins to heear you guys, they might block me!!!! :D :D :D--Spittlespat 03:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

They would notice eventually...just make sure that you start writing some articles and using edit summaries, and you'll be fine. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(e/c, humph) No, really. This isn't a joke Spittle - just be careful in the future. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Seriously though, your article space edits are 27.99% of your total edits, while your userspace edits are 66.27% (the rest are in the project, template spaces etc). Simply put, the ratio is BAD for you. Do whatever you like (well, not whatever - there should be a limit), but make some useful edits and make yourself valuable to Wikipedia first. Then you can go about doing whatever you like while still contributing a lot (just like Ed here; veteran editor, rollbacker, wikiproject coordinator and still goes around posting umm... very useful stuff on people's talk pages) Chamal ^talk 12:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

You make it sound like I am some amazing editor here Chamal... :) I've only been here since March, and seriously since maybe August or so! And I really shouldn't be a coordinator - the only reason I am is that TomStar81 had to leave for a time to deal with RL... =/ —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 17:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Aww... shut up! :D Chamal ^talk 01:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

<sing-song voice>You can't make me! :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:14, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoa...you know, Pianista has been sleeping for a long while.... :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

(<-) Huh, it's not like you're in any position to criticize Pianista's awesome bug spray >^.^< IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 01:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Huh? What's a bug spray? Chamal ^talk 01:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

A spray that is usually directed a bugs, intended to have an unplesant effect on the bugs ^.- IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 02:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

(to Chamal) - See this edit summary and think of the popular phrase "don't let the bed bugs bite". :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that bug spray! :P I thought there was a umm.. different meaning to it. So so, you mean to tell me that she uses the bug spray in her sleep? I knew she was talented, but I didn't think she was so talented :D Chamal ^talk 02:14, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I disappear for twelve hours and suddenly, I'm "so talented"... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

And then I come back and everyone's gone...

<rant>It's not my fault that I'm so talented that my piano teach has me do loads of homework week after week and burn my fingers off trying etude after etude! It's not my fault that I have literally ten full-length pieces to memorize in time for spring '09, which inches closer every second! It's not my fault that I have to study late, get assigned homework about stoopid subgectz likez SPELINGZ, dat iz juz plane stoopid!! It's not my fault that whenever I come online I have more re's than I can answer in one sitting, just because some guys (and a gal) are such great friends that they can't leave me alone for six hours... And it's certainly not my fault that half my WP-buddies are in a different time zone!

Blame my professor, blame...my mom (and hence, your mom), blame ALL of you, blame THE GEOGRAPHY OF OUR PLANET, but it's certainly NOT MY FAULT! And so on...I'm secretly laughing at all this, you know. (whoops, not a secret anymore...) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 06:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Ick... :) Sounds like a terrible life, my friend. You have my sympathies. So what should we do about it? Put forth a proposal to abolish all time zones? </extreme sarcasm> :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 07:49, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Nah, rant over. I guess I can forgive the time zones for causing me so much pain...but our relationship will never be the same. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Why will it never be the same? The time zones kill it? Then maybe you should MOVE. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

But then...no matter where I go, the time zone will follow me. There's no escape! Halp! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

(<-- out) What, your piano can't save you from this? :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Ohmygosh, I forgot. Of course! My piano can warp space-time, causing a ripple in the universal space-time continuum, and completely obliterate the need for bothersome time zones! All I have to do is hit the low C at the right time...*tries*...Darn it, missed the upbeat. Hold on...*tries again*...Whoops, that was B...gimme a minute...*tries* Ugh, pedal was off...*tries again* C-sharp? What was I thinking? Oh, whatev... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

LOL just give up, you crazy Huggler'. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

What?! Hugglers never give up! We are valiant fighters, using our powerful tools to promote our own POV fight vandalism and remove all stupid comments by people who bug us make the wiki a better place!

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

DUDE, I LOVE THAT SONG! :D

You just earned an "'atta girl!" from me for creativity. :) Ya, you better feel special. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I must say, you are gradually picking up on those classic do's and don'ts. Complimenting a pianist...that's hot. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Paris isn't hot to me...sexy, yes—hot, no. Those "sex tapes" kinda change my opinion a bit. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Dude?

You freak me out. I have always thought the same. I mean, she's sorta pretty, but you just get kinda tired of it, you know? Classic beauties, like Ms. Taylor are the kinds whose looks you can never get tired of - the real deal. :) Which is hot. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait, so you gave up on the PP (Polish pianist) and are now chasing girls??? ;) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 14:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Ew. EW! Just...ew. Eddie needs a trout-slap for that...

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Just another to add to your collection. Enjoy it - feel the tingling on your face where it hit. And remember that it came from THE Pianista. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:34, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Heh....maybe I did deserve that...

I won't feel it though...the trout stayed on my monitor and went no farther. However, I will remember that it came from THE Pianista...I'll promise that. xD —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:40, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, well, today's your lucky day, isn't, it Ms. Pianista? Or is it your lucky week...? :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:59, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Dunno. Major music audition this Saturday; don't want to spend all my luck in one sitting. Eeee! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

O_O Good luck pal! You'll do fine, I'm sure. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 20:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Guys you can go to my contributions, I am getting more edits.--Spittlespat 02:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Nice. But keep it going! BTW, I'm going to start work on a new article in a few hours. You want to help me with it? We can get a DYK with it, and if you contribute enough, you get half the credit for it ;) Tell me if you are interested. Chamal ^talk 04:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

re rant...Gods above, you have my sympathy :) My hand is too small...which is basically fatal, when you've got to get to the end of Chopin's...uh...Etude in G-flat major reaaally quickly. Turns out fast fingers can't make up for a larger hand...BTW, good luck with the audition. IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 20:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much, but I'm veerry superstitious about pre-performance rituals. Let's not gab about it too much, 'kay? My nerves are turning to jelly... :) I'm tempted to belt out There is superstitionnn, but I might be overusing it... :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Good luck for the audition, then :) Chamal ^talk 01:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Darn, forgot the WP:BEANS aspect of that... :D :D :D

Jk. Thanks for all the luck - I'll surely save as much of it as I can. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Help!

Can the Americans here tell me exactly who Victoria's Secret Angels are? I mean, what are they? Thought it might be a good chance to get an FL ;) The link gives something like an overview, but if there's anything more, tell me because I need to know more if I'm going to work on it. BTW, please remember that while this may be something well known in your part of the world, I come from the other corner of the world ;) (well yeah, I guess it is known to normal people here as well... I could always ask the people at school, but I'll have to wait 2 days for that) Umm.. and if you think it's a dumb idea to work on something I don't know, I agree with that, but most of the pages I have created are on stuff I know nothing about (diamonds, APCs etc), so I guess it's OK to try again. If I mess up, it's OK; there's a lot of people to correct it ;) Chamal ^talk 13:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Huh. I know of them, but I'm not exactly an expert. 'S far as I can tell, they're select models to advertise Victoria Secret's line of lingerie. You could Google it, but then...maybe Ed can help, since, uh, he's into the, um, ladies' periodicals... ;) ;) ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

...and then the kindness came to an abrupt stop. :) I actually have no idea who they are, Chamal, so don't even think of looking my way. :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

So I'll have to waste my *valuable* time googling now :( Ed, are you sure you don't know? Living on the other corner of the world is sometimes hard ;) Chamal ^talk 01:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Ed's gonna be mostly gone for the weekend...so yeah, looks like you're stuck with Googling around. Unless, of course, you want to try the WP:RD/M. You'll get a response within a half-hour, sometimes less than that if you're lucky. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:11, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

How did the googlin' go, Chamal? :) Yeah, sooooo hard. I think that Pianista would be the one to know, as she is the girl! :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

re:pictures

So how do you put pictures on wikipedia (and like I said on ed17's userpage I confess that I think emily browning is a little cute... :D :D)--Spittlespat 21:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Hate to break it to you, but perhaps the safest way to obtain a picture of a celeb is to seek them out and take the pic yourself. Unless, of course, you want to go the long way around and negotiate with someone who owns a pic of Ms. Browning under a copyright. After that, you must promise to put it under fair use and use the picture exclusively on that article. For famous living persons, though, I think that the chances of lawfully getting access to a fair-use image are pretty slim.

But if I've completely missed your point (meaning you asked how to upload files in general), click on the link "Upload file" to your left, under "Toolbox." Follow the directions carefully, and don't forget to be über-descriptive when adding details about your media. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

You are kidding me! how am I suppose to go up to emily browning, liam aiken, or freddie highmore and take a picture of them???!!! great... the good news is that I became a rollbacker!--Spittlespat 21:59, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

No idea :), but Congrats on the WP:BROOM. Anyways, that's the main reason a bunch of Wikipedia's articles are missing images, in my opinion... IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 22:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Good luck with the WP:ROLL! Even more luck with the Huggle if you ever wish to download it - takes a few somersaults to get it right. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, yeah...the Huggling "somersaults"... I swear, I have a talk page archive where I had at least >4 messup notices. Was so sure that admin would nuke my huggle access... IceUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 02:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

like I said, I do have one picture of freddie highmore... but it is copyright, so lucks like I'm out of luck!--Spittlespat 02:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

You're obsessed with those tongues, aren't you?? TopGearFreak ^Talk 11:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

<angelic voice> What? Was that raspberry for little me? </angelic voice> TopGearFreak ^Talk 21:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. It was simply there in your direction, coincidentally after a post by your divinely angelic self, not intended to actually be received by you. Any insult engendered by this gesture of relative rudeness was entirely not meant for you.</sarcasm> —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You ended sarcasm without beginning it. Just like this. </pointing out obvious mistake> TopGearFreak ^Talk 21:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh? Does it have to begin? I thought it was rather obvious from the beginning, thus doing away with any necessity for superfluous faux HTML tags...

Unless, of course, you do not find such easily understood messages tangible. Would you like me to elucidate the matter for you? :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah. Right. Gotcha. </pretending that she had understood a single word pianista has just said, which she hasn't> TopGearFreak ^Talk 15:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm

[4] "Hate campaigns against individual Wikipedians"? Sounds interesting.... :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Uh-huh. Wait, I thought you were already a participant...or are you in the "Dirty-joke, sexual-harrassment campaigns against individual Wikipedians"? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

=/ Maybe the dirty joke part, but not sexual harassment! :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

One the one hand? :P Gnome? I see no Gnome... :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:25, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, attempts at sexual harassment. :P

...Now, see, most pianists have naturally long fingers, which makes them very clumsy. Also, I was typing very quickly. Both of those do not mix, especially when I have a serious point to make (that, being, of course, of a very serious matter). </excuses> —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

You know...if my mind was in the gutter right now.... ;>

But SEE?!?!?! You DO make mistakes! :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

...Is that a threat? Ooo...time to go WP:LEGAL...

...And your point is? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Oooo counter-punch... :D

Just pointing it out! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Want another?

...You are cognizant of the fact that your response tells me nothing, correct? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I dunno...my face hurts enough already. xD

Yes, I was. I wanted to see how you reply to a comment like that, but nOoooOOoO you have to go all "I'm smart" on me! :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps because of excessive abuse of emoticons...

Which I am. You are aware of that as well, my pet? (<= LOOK, NEW ONE) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I was just thinking of that too...I was wondering why I used them so much.

Pet? If I were your pet, wouldn't I like classical music? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

You don't?! Bad dog! (proceeds to push Ed out the door) You stay out there all night! And, for heaven's sake, DON'T give me those big eyes and DON'T whimper like that! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

*Puppy eyes* B..b..bb..ut Pianista...it's >18 degrees here... :( —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

So...you are implying that you wish for me to obtain a few welts, but not too many? Are you cognizant of the fact that such a result, could, if it were ever to come into being, cause me more than a little discomfort? Is that necessarily an example of goodwill towards a good friend o' mine?

WUT? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Eh, just whip up some spell that allows me to sleep soundly, and I'll call off the bugs...

Is my singing that bad? :) Ok, now g'nite, BTW. Be good while I'm away! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Dunno how to do that...all the spells in my book are curses...

Actually, I can't tell (like I can hear you through your monitor, through your internet connection, through your service provider, to mine, through my connection, through my monitor). You might be pretty good - I don't know...but whatever the call is, I know I pwn you. :D :D :D

Sleep well, buddy! :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:27, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
