@oleksandr @vbabka LOL it's good but sadly I don't have a slab/slub/slob chapter (the whole book is a slob thing though) as I had to cut it for time.

Though Vlasta deletes everything so deleting the chapter is sort of on-theme

@ljs @oleksandr @vbabka perhaps your book will inspire some fan fiction

Tsk. You haven't finished the first draft after all; you have to add back your sl[aeiouy]b chapter.

I know you're saying Vlastimil deletes everything, but look here, we're going to declare your book to be The Official Standard, so he'll just have to add back all the stuff he deleted.

@dougmerritt @ljs @oleksandr no no no [aeiouy] there's only one now that's called SLŮB, in honor of the Czech word vůl, which means ox.

@vbabka @oleksandr @ljs
Yes, I've noticed y'all have a little Czech fan club going there; I'm at a severe disadvantage for never having studied the language even a little bit.

On the other hand, I'm pleased that you've simplified the spelling!!!

@dougmerritt @oleksandr @vbabka it was just too much to deal with the slab bullshi... err I mean stuff, when you're burning out and like 'yeah I kinda have to finish this before things up with me in a mental hospital or divorce court' Vlasta's smiling face doesn't come to mind as being hugely justified

@andrew_shadura @vbabka @dougmerritt @ljs "SLÔB" is a sound frog emits during mating season.

@oleksandr, how about SLÕB or SLŐB? (Estonian and Hungarian, correspondingly)

@andrew_shadura @oleksandr @vbabka @dougmerritt my theory that there's a conspiracy of Central and Eastern European countries who all have the same language but want to troll westerners, continues

@ljs @andrew_shadura @dougmerritt @vbabka In case you speak only one language, many languages look the same.

@ljs @andrew_shadura @dougmerritt @vbabka But what about Indian sir? Or Czech English? Very funny variety I must say.

@andrew_shadura @ljs @oleksandr @dougmerritt that's the IKEA allocator. You only get a bunch of pages, 8-byte object headers, a comic book describing the first-fit algorithm and an Allen key, and assemble the object layout yourself.

@vbabka, that would be the SLÖBBA. SLØB is the one you'd get from the Flying Tiger. Pre-assembled but failing after two years.
