Challengia: yummylicious bits and bites

DESIDERATA's Challengia has been won, not by one, by two challengees; and aptly in this world of gender equaity, one came via fe-mail from Catsville, and the other via (E)mail all the way from London but yet hiding back home on a suspicious mission. We are getting lots od contradictions here today, all because one honourable minister asked a fellow parliamentarian Go, jump in the lake, but he couldn't even if he had wanted to!


Is there an English HOWLER in “Kit Siang can jump in a lake”?

Yan said...
Hi, Desi,

My copy of NST reads - "Kit Siang can go jump in a lake"

If it's conversational, especially in the stage the "Iron Lady" is in, it's acceptable to me.

Otherwise, it should be "Kit Siang can go and jump into a lake."

Hi Yan:

This is the Challenger answering the Challengee:

CONgrats, You are RIGHT on the first attempt, also the first acceptor! So many First here -- First Lady ...first GoOD speechwriter ....

I'll make sure I'll deepfreeze the ONE SSatay -- a giant stick -- till when we meet down in the Seremban Maze.

Yes, parallel to "Out of the frying pan INTO the fire."
You can't jump when you're already IN the lake, unless like Superman or catswoman,she jumps OUT OF the lake. Maybe the Iron Lady did!:(

Hey, Yan, what do you think he first "ass" in SSatay stands for?

Yan:

Your P/S isit Personal Secretary ran away with that stick of Ssatay and I'm steal trying hard to retrieve them, not her, so we can arrange for a PRIZE Presentation -- You the gallant one, Howsy the suspicious one (Xplain later), and Dangerous V who tried vely hard as he was so hungry fighting on many dangerous fronts! -- when the Malaysian Guinnesss Book of Records people will record the event for posteriority. TWO giant yummylicious SEREMBANSatay beats KAJANGSatay anytime! Of course, one more ordinary usual spiritedestination satay (on standby as the franchise name when we go International, 1/2 royalty goes to thee, Catsville import for OUR I-LAND COOK! or CHEF, grander sounding eh? as consolation for Dangerous V!

Hi Desi,

The first thing that came to my mind was...yes you are right...how can you jump when you are already in a lake? Should be jump into a lake isn't it? So shallow of her to make such a comment. That will drown Kit Siang off (if that was her intention) if the lake is deep and he doesn't know how to swim. Can't she think of more 'fight phrases' like 'Jump off a cliff or 'jump off a building?'

Better send her back to Standard One again. She has lost all her credibility all these years. Look at how she talked in the Parliament? Like a kepochi makcik. So unprofessional!

DESIDERATA:

I smell as rat when some PhD student comes all the way back under the disguise of Makan-makan, but the mission is to "drown some pussy cat"? IN THE LAKE? Now, now, we want to enjoy the bourgeosie life summore, dont we, ENJOYOMG wat -- culinary delights fit for export to space nation? Those bloody Americanos and Russians and Chinamen would buy our SpiritedestinationSatay?
Hey, be carefool, nowadays if we don't watch it, they use the ISA on ppl who collaborate with those funny guys UP THERE -- they use the ISA on both the Suggestor, the Messenger, and the Laker (now we have an ex-ISA detainer for company! Wonder if our Opposition Leaders kNOws how to swim? Howsy, your next mission is to check this out.:)!
Hope it won't happen to Howsy, thrown into the cell I mean, NOT the lake, I know for a fact you swim very well, you mentored that Msian guy who swam the E.Channul, didn't you? Patriotic, man. Stay back for one more course (from a luvly Rose, no, not from Texas, or London, before you head back to London on a higher mission.
Also I pray this for mGf Yan's and my thin-skinned own s(H)akes.

I went missing a few days. :) But am back because I came to Desi's for teh tarik while bringing along some spaghetti to belanja you. :) No beef. Just chicken and err, bacon (psst, non-halal).

DESIDERATA:

You made me salivate just with the pix, I think my tummy'll go dummy-mummy-yummy at the realthing.
But you made me work for the belanja, didn't you?
I checked the 'ick, and it clearly defines:
bacon n. pig's flesh (now the back and sides) salted or pickled and dried

And to the prime Rose, it says "now" the back and sides, previously? You're the Xpert in the KITchen. Thanks for the belanja with laugh.:) from Agent 001 minus One.

I also check'd "yummylicious" in the 'ick, but it refers me to a Rose. So I hope you come back to desiderata.english on sundaes and mentor Rafidah Aziz for sum English lessons. Desi would sit in as an obedient students2. Howsy may just stand there with a cane3. Yan would serve Catsville Ssatay for des(S)ert. Dangerous V will keep virgil by the door that the virginal English speAking Opposition does not jump in/into.

Lols, if Howsy's proposition and thesis come true, I may be able to lift some English to the queen's of the Bard (sounds like another dish?), who by the way,Primrose, HE ENJOYS BACON lots, that's why he writes such beaut, exquisite love poems. I'm steal trying to write those luv poems, but sumtimes I mix up my prepositions eg. into for in, out for outside, beside for besides, you get the hang (as being hanged by the neck for being knotty), or drift (as drifting into the lake!
