BTW, if any of you are wondering why I set the birth year in my profile to "1896" when I'm clearly quite a few years younger than that (or else Dorian Gray), I was driven to it by the tediousness of having to click through a page on every single entry by
f8nbegorra,
fogbear, and others due to the clumsy-ass implementation of dubious "protections" by Your LJ Team several weeks back. For reasons of privacy, I don't want my actual birth year to display (if it matters to you, I was conceived about the same time as All My Children) so I began by inputting "1" and kept increasing the the figure until LJ would accept it. Apparently, the thought of a 112 year-old online is plausible to them but not a 142 year-old. (If anyone wants to discover what the precise cut-off is, be my guest.)
I wanted to do something cute involving twoness for this entry, but nothing came to mind beyond a discussion of the dual number in Irish. Never got around to that, obviously, but maybe I'll save my thoughts for the day
aadroma tackles grammatical number as a Multilingual Monday topic. Now, with that monkey off my back, I'll post again about food and feasting. Huzzah!
