Challenge to my fellow FReepers - How many times will Madam Speaker do her 'Jack-in-the-box (madly clapping)' imitation during this upcoming speech Wednesday Night (09/09/09)? By the way, if you were to say "Nine nine nine" to a German, he would think you are saying "No, no no" - do we have a problem with this?

When I first watched this back in the winter, her bobbing up & down was driving me crazy! She looked like a play piece in the game “Wack-a-Mole”!

She’s outta here soon!

Remember how Biden was getting a disgusted look because he had to stand up also when she did. He must have been terribly frustrated, LOL!!!

Yes! He looked irritated as hell...and so he should have. He may be an idiot in his own right, but she was so fake in her behavior that it was quite obvious what her intent was.

I think I would have leaned across & told her to sit her a$$ down! Who knows, maybe someone will put some Mighty Putty on her chair this time!

Money. I read she spends a very high percentage of her time trolling for dollars.

Her head's been stuck in the same place for the better part of 3 decades.

Lets see, he talks on and on for 60 minutes, Pelosi can get up at least twice per minute (60x2=120), will clap at least 20 times per stand up (20x120=2400) add a few for good measure...
I will take 4,989 times

Yes if you said what sounds like “9 9 9” to a german, they’d think you were being very insistant about objecting to something repeating “no,no,no”.

If you said “neun, neun, neun” (the numbers 9 9 9)who knows?

As an aside, to say nine hundred ninety-nine is “neun hundert neun und neunzig”. That is nine hundred nine and ninety, that is the way they order it.

“No” in german is “nein”. Sounds just like 9 though.

However the number 9 in german is “neun” (sounds like noi-n).

The date would be said “neun, neun, neun” if they’d say it in the informal way that we often do using numbers. I don’t know if they say dates like that. I doubt it. They probably don’t say it in the same order we do. “Number, month, year” is more european. We do “month,number,year” more often, although we do both.

The long way I’d say it in german... would be “neun September zwei tausend neun”. (9 September 2009)

Flame away fluent speakers of german!

Oh, IF I’d watch Der Fuhrer on Wednesday night, and I never watch him, I’d do a drinking game everytime he said “NOTION”, “LET ME BE CLEAR”, “I’VE ALWAYS SAID”, “I WON”....etc.

Drinking game on that and how many times the Wack-a Mole Pelosi jumps up to HEIL OBAMA.

Someday, grown-up patriotic Americans will be in power again. Until then, grin and bear it, and fight it with all we’ve got. American is strong enough to last 4 years of these clowns. Keep ‘em on the ropes!

Of course I agree with you but I think that this is the single date of the year where every standard 'date system' that uses the 2 digit year matches everyone else as happens 12 times each century. Yes, I have had experience with other methodologies but due to my extensive programming and database experience have long since standardized on the "yyyymmdd" with leading zeros format. This format is impossible to sort out of sequence, which given the number of other gremlins that I have fought is a very good thing.

As someone else has observed, it appeared that VP Biden got a bit perturbed and so I will watch him for curved hands moving towards a Botox throat.
