"...Can't polka or line dance...."

I have a photo of me learning the Electric Slide at my birthday party...With luck, I will have it posted after I get moved...

It was the only line-dance I learned.

You are aware that the grand hall, just off the castle courtyard, is designed to serve as a dance hall?

It's also convenient to the kitchen. But you will have to arrange for the musicians.

"It reads this way for now, until I figure pout if it's correct:
"Hey trolls: You shall be beaten by La Fuerza Del Puerta!""

Normally, the gender is based on the sentence...however, just remember that the noun is before the verb, as in "the red house" = "la casa roja"

I'm not sure of your English translation but it seems like you are saying "the fire of/in the door/entry"

I ain't perfect in this...so cut me some slack if someone knows more than I do!

HEY! ME TOO!!!

I did it at the office Christmas Party, and was afraid to go back to work...

Well.... I have the single. A late friend taught
me the dance after getting the cd I now have.

DANG! For a minute there, I thought you said I "will have to arrange the musicians" and I was all for it!

(Never mind.)

I think the new software and hardware is getting it's fiorst real test.
John should know in about a month's time whether his tweaks did the trick.

www.constitution.org

Excellent place for historical documents.

US constitution. Article 4, sec 4.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

As for the exact definitions:

Main Entry: re·pub·lic
Function: noun
1 : a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president; also : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government
2 : a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law; also : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government

Main Entry: de·moc·ra·cy
Pronunciation: di-'mä-kr&-sE
Function: noun
Inflected Form: plural -cies
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections
2 : a political unit that has a democratic government —dem·o·crat·ic /"de-m&-'kra-tik/ adjective —dem·o·crat·i·cal·ly adverb

The major difference being in limitations of power. In a Republic, government is supposed to by limited by a Constitution, or contract, whereby the People cede a limited amount of power to the State. In a Democracy, there is generally no such stricture and you are at the whim of the majority. Not even a supermajority in most cases, but a simple majority.

I actually approve more of the later, but ONLY in conjuntion with a Unanimous Consent Doctrine. 90% or better must agree on an action or that action is not put in force. This guts the "mobocracy" of simple majority democracies.

Any of that help?

I was "built" by a pernicious Elder God with a really strange sense of humor.

I was trying to forget that one. ;-) We also have done the Chicken Dance at the last few weddings as well. Becoming a rather inebriated family tradition I think.

The absolute horror....
