let's challenge Muddy's brain

[Mudcat]

I need disambiguation of the disambiguation. I don't even know who Saint Mary is. Is it the virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene or just some other Mary who gets a lot of credit for niceness.

Agnostic my friend as you now. I just don't know, I'd have to be convinced but make no mistake I respect your hardcore Islamic beliefs.

 

[roguejuror]

bacon's religion is ABC

 

[Matty]

The official catalogue of saints over at Catholic Online lists a whole bunch of Marys, Maries and Marias.

 

[Cami]

The best I can come up with that, st mary often refers to either the virgin mary, or mary magdalene, as these two seem to be the most honored through out the bible. So I would imagine that these churches are in one of their names....that's all I got. I'm not catholic personally so I haven't got a clue - that's what I've read.

 

[Matty]

I'm not catholic

The one priest had these huge eyebrows and used to always wiggle them around mass or-(note use of em hyphen) all the time.

It was weird but I thought he was a nice dude. Always worried about farting during mass everyone is so close together. Never really noticed St Mary, was just a place I had to go.

Never heard of ya pal.

Muddy why are people from Guinea-Bissau called Bissau-Guinean and not the other way around?

 

[Matty]

*chuckle*

Matty's fonny.

 

[Mudcat]

I don't remember this thread. I wonder how am I doing.

I don't know about the people of Guinea-Bissau and why they are called what they're called. I of course know the capital but as usual, my knowledge doesn't go far beyond that.

A lot of Guineas in the world. Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Papua New Guinea.

I feel like Guyana must be related in some way to Guinea, like a type of guinea.

Whooooooole lotta guinea up in here.

 

[roguejuror]

Definitely Guyana up in there. And don't forget French Guiana!

Wasn't really a trivia, just thought it was some type of rule in English or something.

Do you enjoy inventing your own words and expressions that might seem quirky to others?

 

[Mudcat]

Who me? I want to say yes but I can't think of a single example so maybe I'm just a wannabe.

 

[Archie]

Are you always the first one to notice when a friend has gotten a haircut or made a small change to their appearance?

 

[Mudcat]

That's a puzzler to me. In general I am extremely unobservant. Like if you asked me if such-and-such co-worker has facial hair or wears glasses, there's a good chance I don't know. I couldn't tell you what color my living room is.

But if something suddenly changes I think I notice that. When it's hot chicks, I definitely notice right away.
