Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
So far we have two graphic arts entries for the game!
My own entry shall be in the form of a newspaper clipping reporting about an extraordinary sighting off the coast of Lanzarote.
I remain yours,
Prof. Cecily

Is an English version of your entry available elsewhere than Facebook? It's not letting me read it without a login. |

I'll just drop in with my mod hat on and say this is falling close to self-promotion with no real discussion happening.
If we can maybe get some talk going in this thread about the game it'll be in the all-clear.

I think I should also mention I had a dream about this game, only Bailey was a woman...
I assure you, that incident in Singapore was all a misunderstanding. |

Well, let's blame my linguistic failings for that... A joke (one of my many) college Spanish teachers told us:
What do you call a person who speaks three languages? Trilingual.
What do you call a person who speaks two languages? Bilingual.
What do you call a person who speaks only one language? An American. Perhaps our other Spanish speakers can read for us, and thus aid the discussion? |

I'm just as guilty, if not more so. I studied Spanish for 4 years (not by my own choice, mind you) and can barely remember a word of it.
'Tengo un gato en mis pantalones' is about as far as I can get.

Hardly "more so"; it took me eight semesters to earn my required four semesters worth of credit.* Soy estúpido. * Because for scholarship eligibility and transferable credits, I had to maintain a C average in each class, so I had to drop classes and start over. That last semester, no money was involved nor did I need it to transfer, so I was able to take the D. Of course I felt less stupid when, after taking my child development class, I discovered I was well past the language acquisition stage, but that doesn't stop other adults from learning new languages, so, yeah...still soy estúpido. |

Ah! I caught it this time (clearly I scrolled down too fast originally and didn't catch the en inglés version). Clever...but a tease! We're missing the third column, but I'm guessing that was part of the plan. Nicely done. |

It seemed to me that some text was missing at the bottom of column two, which I presumed to be continued in column three.
Have I misread?

As far as I can see there's only one column of text in the blog. I'm curious as to what you're seeing. I remain yours, Prof. Cecily |
