Hey, CJ, my brain is on permanent vacation? I do so love the term because it’s a better way to label my permanent state of being a few apples short of a basket….. Edited August 31, 2023 by QueenBigFat The first version of this post was a great example of exactly what I was talking about. Sigh. ….aaaaand because CJ wants to be called CJ and not Tiny!

Sorry, I didn't see this sooner -- "who'da thunk it?" is just a funny way to say, "who would have thought it?" You all speak English so well, I often forget that you may not know all our little sayings and idioms. Sorry about that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBigFat Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Yes. A previous addiction! Nice to connect…!…tho the show is ancient history now…. BTW belated thank you for posting those early Mika videos. I only just finished watching the ones that are not dead links. So much wonderfulness! It was a great journey. I have some stuff I wanna post about it but not now. Meanwhile if any other newbies have not spent time with it, it sure is an amazing overview of Mika’s evolution over the years. I missed so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBigFat Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) OMG me too! I have prolly spent as many hours complaining about what Americans have done to the use of the English language as I have praising Mika lately! (She said, masticating the word “probably”!). Seriously, my Hunny actually asked me about the use of English on the forum and I told her it was perfect because most of the posters aren’t from America! now that I think about it, one of the things that makes M so interesting to me is his incredibly intelligent use of language. Rare for a “pop” singer. I was just concerned that it might have appeared as if I were putting down Ax07’s sincere question with my answer about the word “thunk”, when I was just being thrilled about my own scathingly brilliant humor. PS—-sorry, silver, I don’t know how that quote thing got attached, below, and try as I might, I could not remove it! 16 hours ago, silver said: Edited September 1, 2023 by QueenBigFat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 76 so I recognize a lot in your story. Unfortunately I have never been to a performance of Mika and there is not much chance that he will come to the Netherlands .. I wish you a lot of fun with Mika! Trollenfan47, See???! He’s coming to the Netherlands!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
