[Drayco84]

Can you define "snicker-snacked", please?

Yes, I'm being serious. Wiktionary wasn't much help.

EDIT: I said "please".

[Scarydragon]

Snicker-snacked: Cut, severed, chopped, etc.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

It's from the C.S. Lewis poem "Jabberwocky". Snicer-Snack is the onomatopoeia of the Vorpal sword chopping stuff up.

Ah. Good to know. Thanks.

[TheAuldGrump]

His vorpal blade went snicker snack
He left it dead,
And with its head,
He came galumphing back....

That poem added more than one word to the English language.

The Auld Grump

You mean Lewis Carroll, right?

Beautiful!

CS Lewis' style, tied to Lewis Carroll's tale...
Unimaginable!
But were it possible, we would all know EXACTLY what  the words meant.

Isn't that what Tim Burton did? 

[TheAuldGrump]

No, Burton went to Carroll's grave and took a wizz.... 
The really sad thing is that if you had asked me a few years ago who would do the best job of doing an Alice sequel onscreen Burton would have been my number two choice. (Number one was Terry Gilliam. )

Period - wrong
Alice's freakin' name - wrong (It was Alice Liddell, Burton, Liddell, not Kingsley!)
The quotation from Jabberwocky - wrong! (How the heck do you manage to misquote one of the easiest to remember poems in the English language, and do so on a movie about Alice for the love of squishy brown mud?!!!)

And Disney does not seem to have any idea of how to handle 3D. Hurling things at the hapless audience was a trick that was lame when they did it in the fifties, Dreamworks figured it out, why can't Disney?

Why no, I did not much like the new Alice, how can you tell?

The Auld Grump, who is a fan of Carroll's Alice....

My above question was a sarcastic comment on how they lifted the now-cliched plotline from The Chronicles of Narnia, specifically The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Oh, no, wicked villain has taken over magicland!  Who will save us?  Only a human from Earth!  Please, human, save our world, since no one NATIVE can do it, according to prophecy!

[Drayco84]

Yeesh, ask an innocent question... At this rate, even THIS thread will be doomed to the Tinfoil Hat Tearoom...

[Keleth]

Such is the fate of all things.

[Turnsky]

hopefully not because of the sheer amount of fail some threads have had in the past, i swear that's what happened to my PC the other day, it tried to commit seppuku.

Your computer failed to commit seppuku ?

Dang.

[Mao]

Seriously guys?  I make a topic to explain that some threads have been edited and you guys start nitpicking over retarded stuff?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

This surprises you, Mao?

[Mao]

Thread, I am dissapoint.

well, only the power supply was toasted... that lovely odor of ozone and melted plastic - nummy.

[Naldru]

By the way, the term snicker-snack has been used previously in the strip.  However, that strip involved a vorpal dagger rather than a vorpal sword.

[hartree]

CS Lewis' style, tied to Lewis Carroll's tale...

You mean The Lion, the Witch and the Bandersnatch?

How is a raven like a writing-desk?
Much as a Bandersnatch is like unto a Wardrobe.
So, will aluminum foil do? I have no tinfoil at hand.
... Curses!

Oh, so THAT explains Schmendrick's riddle in 'The Last Unicorn'... I'd been wondering about that one for years... (Gimmie a break, I was about 5 or so when I first saw it and it came out two years before I was born, okay?)

I share your disappointment.

Thread, I am dissapoint.

Thread; Yes, Yes I will; Now, Tomorrow, and Forever.

Poetry commonly disappoints...

[DarkSunDuelist]

His vorpal blade went snicker snack
He left it dead,
And with its head,
He came galumphing back....

The Auld Grump

Every time Lewis Carrol picks up a pen, 20 new words are added to the dictionary.

I HAVE SAID IT SO IT MUST NOW BE A MEME. (Yay for posting on 4% Brain Battery!!)

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Yay for postage.

DarkSunDuelist, you do not have to respond to every single post. More importantly, according to the rules you read when you signed up (you did read the rules, right?) you have to not respond to anything that's been idle for over a month. We get grumpy after two weeks, just so you know.

Don't necro dead threads again.

[Mao]

Indeed.  Calm down man.  We get people here all the time who try to make a name for themselves for being 'crazy/whacky/insane/whatever' pretty much weekly.  If you really want to make a name for yourself:  Post with wit and intelligence.  This entails knowing and following the rules and generally not being a jackass.  Being a jackass is the admins/mods job and we don't do outsourcing.

[Darkmoon]

We tried once. The workers were good, but no one could understand their accents. Damn Canadian labour.

[Mao]

God I hate you sometimes.

But then, I fall in love all over again.

[Darkmoon]

That's exactly what my wife says.
