08/04/07 Abel's Story [94] Might be a problem

[Naldru]

I was thinking that perhaps Hennya "hungers for revenge"

There was also the quote from Shakespeare that "Revenge is a dish best served cold", on in this case cubi body temperature.  Of course since snakes are normally cold blooded, this could be a "cold blooded" attack.

I'm looking forward to what happens tomorrow.  I have a feeling that we're going to see an episode of "Let's make a deal" tomorrow or the following week.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" isn't from Shakespeare.

It's a Klingon proverb, used by Kahn Noonien Singh, in The Wrath of Kahn.

And I will leave you like you left her.....Buried alive...

  Is Hennya protecting May, Abel, or is she just getting pissed at Aniz's ego ?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

A little of column A, a little of column B...

Boo.  Bad pun!

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" isn't from Shakespeare.

True - it's a paraphrasing of a line from Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses", from 1782.

It's unclear that this is actually true.  The Star Trek writers mat have gotten it from somewhere else, but that place appears not to be Les Liaisons dangereuses.

I just looked it up on the web, and I now tend to agree with Paul.

It has been referenced in a great many movies and books as can be seen by clicking here or here.

They claim that the quote was "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid." This quote does not appear in Les Liaisons dangereuses.  In fact, -froid- appears only a few times in the text, never in the same letter as -mang-, rarely in the same letter as -veng-, and only on one occasion do -froid- and -veng- appear in the same paragraph.  It is possible that it's using other words, but the fact that they managed to get at least two of the key words wrong makes it very difficult to track.

Wikipedia says,

The first written appearance of the proverb "revenge is a dish best served cold" is often credited to the 18th century novel les Liaisons dangereuses, but since it doesn't actually appear in the original text, the validity of this attribution is unclear.

    Does that mean that the winner will make the loser lose the utmost ? How long till either side suffers the final indignaty ...

Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins!

*Freak-a-fan!*   

[AnizInDisguise]

Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins!

*Freak-a-fan!*   

And the best way to enjoy it is with a spork!

Hm...

"I ate his liver... with pinto beams, and a nice muffin... [charfcharfcharfcharf]!"

    What about distilled Revenge ? The art of making alcholic drink and liquers  has been around for years . It would be the perfect drink for the adventurer.
