Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

The older the song the better she gets:
, but the whole story sings better still :
I love the hell out of this song. Especially its use in Babe: Pig in the City.
Here are the missing video links from the above

I never understand the sentiment. I regret almost everything.

Here is another one for ze goosebumps, mon cher lapin.
> I never understand the sentiment. I regret almost everything.
I concur, while hinting at the fact that choler is tough to understand for sanguine types.
And the way this famous song got lost in translation shows that the misunderstanding goes the other way around too.
This translation shows what translating should be.
PS. Elvis version of the last song will be my last post.

I understand that Sinatra didn't really like the words to "My Way" - he found it too complacent. I wonder if he would have liked the very different French lyrics more (link w/ translation).
Edith Piaf has actually released an English album - English translations of her original songs. And no, I'm not linking to it. It just feels Wrong.
Speaking of regrets, people might go read this:
http://www.bishop-hill.net/blog/2012/11/26/lonely-old-mann.html
before our beloved Bishop sanitize the thread furthermore.
It sounds like a disagreement over a relatively small issue that Bishop Hill's commenters have misinterpreted.
No no no - it's not a relatively minor technical dispute between colleagues, it's the final and fatal revolution against the totalitarian edifice of Mannism and the entire CAGW scam. You wait and see, the polar ice-caps will now restore themselves and the seas will begin to sink back. It's Trooooo. They will! Any minute now...
