....I'm pretty sure this will be like the third time someone's had to tell you this, Spud..
But "quelle" isn't a word. It's a city in Slovakia, but other then that it's not a word. The word you're looking for is "queue".

Yer eventual semi apology later aside fer a sec, you've read some of Spud's stuff, yes?
If Spud's irreverence and willfull playfullness with his own mother tongue is so much in evidence then wot the heck makes ya tink dat Spud cares a whit fer speaking correctly in other languages?
That sed, you certainly were a mensch fer figuring out yer own error later on and owning up.
Good on ya fer that.
In light of the serious nature of the topic of this thread, this is what you knuckleheads discuss? Quel dommage!

Sorry 'bout that Gal, apparently Spud is a bit of a divisive being hisself. Go figure.
Sorry, you were saying...
I happened to catch the celebration of the reading of the Gettysburg address on cspan last night. Ken Burns gave the anniversary speech, and it was quite good. The ceremony was held outside in what is now the cemetery. I think on the spot where Lincoln first gave the speech.
Funny thing about the Gettysburg Address fer Spud is the fact that while it is much lauded and revered in todays day and age it met with some pretty sharp criticism in it's time that was pretty much universal.
Some folk were downright nasty about it.
The Chicago Times in 1863 called the GA...
"...an offensive exhibition of boorishness and vulgarity"
They went on...
"...We did not concieve it possible that even Mr Lincoln would produce apper so slip-shod, so loose-joined, so puerile, not alone in literary construction but in it's ideals"
Spud to Editors of the 1863 Chicago Times:
Nana nana boo boo and nerts to you!
McCain, by his own admission, knows nothing of how the economy works either, so I guess we would have been screwed if he had been elected as well.
Here's a fun quote by John McCain on his economic *ahem* deficits.
"I might have to rely on a vice president that I select' for expertise on economic issues."
Yeah, presumably cos Sarah woulda figured out some way to put the national debt on junior staffers credit cards like she did on her Neiman Marcus and Saks spending sprees.
Be Well.

Here's a Lincoln quote that always makes Spud think of you...
"He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas better than any man I've ever met"
~Abraham Lincoln
