Why do so many ebay auctions start with, "You are bidding on", I'm not
bidding on anything yet, I'm just having a look, or a l@@k as they say
on ebay. Billy


Ok, from now on: "You may now begin thinking of bidding on..."

I too wonder why people use 'l@@k'. It reads 'laak'. Or 'latatk'. Which
is Estonian for 'fried monkey'.


Why is there a word for "fried monkey" in Estonian?


I don't know, but the Elbonian word for "fried monkey" is "pettycomplaint".

That beats the hell out of me. I'm only Dutch. Maybe a good question for
soc.culture.estonia or alt.cooking.estonian.monkeycuisine.

Ho, I have to go back to my baked donkey.



AHA! Now I know what's in kroketten.
