Re: 三顧茅盧

Maybe LOST will be running a numbers station

I'll have to check what the limit on radio power transmission in Vegas would be.

Depends on the band you want to transmit on ...

LOL.

I knew the "insta-Google" response would lead many to food ;)

Thorn! Good to see you. Now I feel like asking if I'm being served...

"Beef with Green Peppers" is about the closest I get to Chinese on a daily basis. The only Chinese symbols I really know are 平静 , but that's only because I'm a Browncoat at heart.

And only Capt Peacock would ask you "Are You Being Served?"

Oh I for got to mention, the title line is Chinese. An invitation (thrice fold) to join a quest from the old classic "Romance of the Three kingdoms".

Here's a snippet from online
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Chinese.

The Japanese translation is 三顧の礼.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang 3 times before he has him as one of his men. So the phrase means visiting someone 3 times to hire or invite him, more broadly, trying to hire or invite someone with utmost respect.
-------------------------------

Zhuge is an unusual Chinese surname and because he was a cunning strategist, it is now sort of a nickname for a cunning strategist.

Blinkin: Guessing. I guess no one's coming.

I'm guessing one IS NOT supposed to post guesses here? :-)

You guess that you shouldn't guess? Are you sure?

Re: 三顧茅盧

It would be fine because technically number stations don't exist, which is why they're illegal to listen to (wait, what?).

Re: 三顧茅盧

There is an exception to this rule...

Yes, but we aren't controlling a space station, or are we?
