RE: Mein erster Artikel auf Deutsch, und es geht um Außerirdische!
Hut ab vor Ihnen, Sir! :)
Haha! Guess what...
...I first thought at your comment and these words!
It's an episode in Albert Camus' "La Peste".
(I'm sorry, I only have the German translation. My French edition seems lost...)
Mr Grand wants to write a book. He is working on the very first phrase since long. This occurs becaus Mr Grand tries to utterly impress the editor and his lecturers from the very beginning. The chief editor should say (immediately after reading the first phrase): "Hut ab, meine Herren!"
This first phrase is a form of running gag in Camus' book. It gets about 4 times revised/ reviewed/ renewed by the author, Mr Grand.
Therefore, I would like to propose:
Call me Mr Grand!
But please stop looking at me as great.
;-))
Done. It's just that I am truly impressed by your argumentative capacity and the way you approach problem solving. It's not easy to find people who merit that we put in the effort to enter into a dialogue (especially because they don't even know what we are talking about).
I hope we can get to become good friends, because I love to interact with cultured, intelligent people, and you, are obviously, one of that special team!
