User talk:Bishonen

Featured admin motto of the week from User:Drmies

"Haha, wise and observant — I'm just an asshole with a grudge and a block button."

Hello, delightfully scented reader. There's no need to post "Talkback" or "You've got mail" templates here. I watch my e-mail, and also your talkpage if I've posted on it. (Click here if you want another compliment.)

• Giano and Bishonen rolled into one? [Proudly:] I took and uploaded the photo of the genuine Swedish salmiak "salt sill" fish in Swedish fish. And then I ate the sucker. Aaahh, saltlakrits. Bishonen | talk 17:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC).

Now tell me about this, because I was wondering about it a while. Warrington (talk) 15:40, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

• • I think Drmies was saying you were an expert in the fields of architecture (like the great user:Giano) and Swedish candy (like me, though only in the sense that I introduced the delicious salt sill to the article Swedish fish). I was more trying to amuse Drmies, who is probably aware how fast friends Giano and I are. You know, implying that you are really our combined sock. Not so funny when you spell it out, I suppose. :-) Well, so do you have a proper deep Swedish understanding of salmiak? Only then will I acknowledge your candy expertise. (Furthermore, how long does it take to make a hafspaj? What's hafs about it?) Bishonen | talk 16:09, 20 May 2013 (UTC).

This is the liquorice blackfish.

This lutefisk in a Norwegian market is no relation!

Norwegian fish, 17 May dinner in the United States of lutefisk, rutabaga, meatballs, cranberries, and lefse.

• Never mind items of clothing worn on the feet. I am in the dark on this... Dark. Yes I do have a proper deep Swedish understanding of salmiak. Do you have a proper deep understanding of lets say poppy seeds or polkagris? Hafs is a sort of Swedish mess. Hafsig, och paj. Hafspajen (talk) 11:43, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I know what hafs means, I'm Swedish (how else would I have the true deep appreciation of salmiak). I think I've even heard terms like hafspaj and hafskaka before. What I meant to ask was: how quick and hafsig does the baking process have to be for the result to qualify as a hafspaj? And in what sense are you a hafspaj? The mind boggles. I mean, I'm admittedly not a bishounen, but still. (Poppy seeds? There's an unusual criterion for Swedishness. Do you mean on a loaf of bergis? I appreciate them.) Bishonen | talk 14:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC).

Probably very quick, somewhat like Mary Poppins. Actually this Hafspaj word was an accidental alfapet word, meaning nothing, when placing words besides each other, and strange words may emerge. Me, Hafspaj, just for fun. Alfapet is the Swedish name for the game Scrabble. Never tasted a hafspaj. Bergis looks good, thought I newer taster any.Where can you buy them? Any place in Lund? Now wait a minute, you can speak Swedish?? Hafspajen (talk) 15:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

[Thinks about it. Reluctantly.] I suppose I can. On a good day. On the rare occasions I visit the Swedish Wikipedia, I even do. But I'm not crazy about getting translation requests (have done too much translating for a living), so don't tell anybody! Bishonen | talk 16:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC).

Why am I 'The Great User Giano' getting tacky little anonymous messages saying that my name has been mentioned here; it's like having Big Brother listening at the keyhole. I don't know how you Nordics can eat that disgusting fish; I should think the cold has played havoc with your taste buds and digestive systems.  Giano  18:08, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It's better than that, Excellency; if you tick the appropriate box in 'Preferences', you can also get email notifications from Big Brother whenever somebody mentions you. (Winston Smith had it easy.)

Of even greater concern though, Chère, is that Fastily's rampant bot has tagged your blackfish as suitable for moving to Commons (after which it gets an Ncd template and soon after is CSD F8 deleted from here). Did you want to drop a {{Keep local}} template on there? --RexxS (talk) 18:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

If so, you better hurry, because the keep local template is up for deletion. Not that it has a chance of actually getting deleted, but why let the facts get in teh way of tasty drama? Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:34, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

[After conflict]::::::::Well it's a bloody nuisance if we can't have a chat about another editor without him being automatically notified. We shall have to start being like those irritating, church-going women who say: "if you can't say anything nice about a person, it's better to say nothing at all" which is probably very true, but does make life exceedingly dull - even in a place like Wikipedia where some irksome little tit is always earwigging and anxious to run off to ANI saying Giano (or whoever) has been uncivil. Now, I had better go and plead to save keep local template - those morons on Commons can't be trusted with an image.  Giano  18:40, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It's actually not so bad, Giano: you only get notified if someone makes a Wikilink to your user page, so it's going to be pretty uncommon unless someone is actually trying to get your attention. Simply typing out the user name won't alert you. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

What good news that is; I shall remember not to link. Now, I only have irksome little tits to worry about.  Giano  18:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

• I've tagged the File:Salt.sill.jpeg with {{keep local}}. It's a very valuable addition the Swedish fish article, and precious to me because it's the only one (?) of my uploads that I actually, and effortfully, photographed myself. Giano, I suspect you're falling into Automatic Mediterranean Prejudice Mode here without even clicking on my links. This isn't rotted Baltic herring or marinated matjessill or indeed lutfisk, it's delicious liquorice candy. Mmmmm… [/me falls into a reverie, then runs out to buy some.] Bishonen | talk 19:46, 20 May 2013 (UTC).
  • Effortfully, eh? That's two words today that I've tripped across that had me reaching for a dictionary (the other being the verb "inactivate," which I was sure was a typo for "deactivate"). Nice. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 20:04, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

What can I say, my English vocabulary is a Lesefrucht, strongly nourished by Victorian novels. Oh, a redlink? It's German for fruit of reading. Good word! "Effortfully" (along with Lesefrucht) may well be one of my ten most frequently used words. Bishonen | talk 20:15, 20 May 2013 (UTC).

Swedish fish? BlueSapphires (talk) 15:22, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Swedish fish. Bishonen | talk 15:32, 21 May 2013 (UTC).

Yum. BlueSapphires (talk) 22:32, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Wow, I go away for a few months and everything has changed! No more orange bar? Just a little red blob? Does it work if I mention myself with the little bracket things? User:Tex I guess I'll find out soon! _{BTW, Bish, there's a new Baby Tex on the earth. Mama and baby are fine. Just thought you'd want to know.} See ya around! Tex (talk) 21:02, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Editnotice...

...is up; you can see it if you try to edit the page, and you can preview/change it if you like at Template:Editnotices/Page/Emmelie de Forest. Cheers! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:14, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, it's beautiful. 1st of July sounds just right. Bishonen | talk 17:42, 21 May 2013 (UTC).

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	thank you for all your work with Emmelie de Forest. couldn't have solved the problem without you! -- Aunva6talk - contribs 01:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I also would like to thank you Bishonen for the help with the de Forest article. I seems to be in a more stable condition right now. Hopefully people will not add the material until further information is known. If ever, in my opinion the entire thing sounds weird to add. Amyway, Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much, guys, and thanks for your help. The article is currently protectively swaddled by PC2 + the rather tight-lipped edit notice, so there's not much strolling idjits can do. By the time we remove those protections, the genealogical interest (oh, gee... how can people even care?) will hopefully have died down. Mind you, I'm sorry to have to have the pending changes, because I'm sure there are many good sensible users out there who would like to be able to update relevant details without the hassle. But I realised it had to be when <ahem, never mind who> popped right back up with more reverting and fatuous comments about "harmless fun facts". Anybody who is now inconvenienced by PC can thank that user for it, because it was the last straw for me. Bishonen | talk 16:39, 22 May 2013 (UTC).
