mitchell_kirschner Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Seb, I like your photos. If you'll permit another OT question: Where'd that really cool children's recumbent bike come from? Is it homemade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliot_rosen1 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Perhaps you were referring to that segment from a poem by T.S. Eliot. I am not him nor George Eliot nor Charles Eliot nor Eliot Ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des adams Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Sorry Eliot I thought you were at the very least all of those people. The real ? is are you really Eliot Rosen? Or are you sometimes someone quite different? I hope the other Eliot shows up sometime. Goodnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_.1 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=besot beﾷsot tr.v. beﾷsotﾷted, beﾷsotﾷting, beﾷsots To muddle or stupefy, as with alcoholic liquor or infatuation. Whether this means you should take the process of stupefication literally or not is another question. I don't think it's meant to be a literal interpretation. She's a cutie! I like the dark version much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_neuthaler Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You can be "besotted" by someone -- thoroughly intoxicated by them, etc. Really came into use around Dr. Johnson's time, ie. mid-to-late Eighteenth Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seb v. Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Mitchell, we rentged it at Battersea Pk. Very hard to steer. Fer the first 10 minutes she swayed all over the place like she was absolutely besotted. Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
working camera Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thesaurus for besotted smitten, obsessed, fanatical, infatuated, love struck.. All emotional states resulting from the consumption of too many alcoholic beverages. ergo Eliot is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin m. Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 "ergo Eliot is correct." Not to belabor the point, but no, he isn't. That definition is too literal, as the meaning of the word has grown with time to indicate a condition like drunkenness, but whose origins do not proceed from the consumption of alcohol.
