Titolo: Bambi's account

You are the world,
The real McCoy
You are the one who makes a brighter day,
So keep on writing,
There's a choice I'm making
I'm saving my own life
I will
keep on reading you
Whatever it takes

I'm astonished at the literary talent that's suddenly emerging in this group.
I'd also noticed that certain people have come out of their shells since the
raduno.
Apart from Bambi's magnificent account and Peltio's gripping unfinished
story, and Sal, who's becoming positively logorrhoeic, Buongiorgio has also
revealed his excellent English (and sense of humour) - I seem to remember he
used to write mainly in Italian.
I hope this means everybody will be more confident about actually speaking
English next time, because Italian was definitely predominant (except in
Bambi's case).
I'm curious about one thing, though - Sal, was your poem (you are the
world...) based on a song?

 used to write mainly in Italian.
...and it was this feeling that pushed me to write in English, defeating my
cowardice.
And I obtained the highest reward, the royal smiles.
In any case, I will still keep on writing in both languages, according to
circumstancies (and time).
But, how it happens, Mary, that my sense of humour is revealed only when I
write
in English ? ;-)
Ciao

Non è che fosse assente in italiano (anche se non mi ricordo di moltissime
battute), però sono stata colpita della battuta sul "shingoist pig", che era
veramente ottima per una persona non di madrelingua.
Si non ti dispiace, farei una correzione: non si può dire "how it happens?".
Grammaticalmente dovresti dire "how does it happen?", ma non è idiomatico; direi
"why is it that my..." o "how come my...".

Faccio adesso gli errori che a dieci anni non avrei mai fatto.
L'analfabetismo di ritorno è un fenomeno curioso e malinconico, e Icling è
la sua medicina.

 one through any trial and tribulation life has to offer
OK Bambi, what is one supposed to do if one doesn't drink this famous
and ubiquitous bolly?  Is there an alternative?  Is there something
else?  Or must I suffer and walk down the path of life carrying my
heavy load with the awareness that nothing can come to my aid?
Please give me some suggestions.
Your immediate attention on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Since I'm flat broke at the moment, could please our Queen inform me and the
others about
the average price of the ubiquitous bolly.
I will probably never be able to bend my elbow on it but I'd like to know
all the same.

I'm afraid I'm another one.
Maybe we should have a special Easter Raduno for the left-handed teetotal
vegetarians among us?

There's no need for that.
It is well known that "Chinotto" has the same effects of "Bolly".
I think there's an article on 'Nature' about this. Or was it 'The Lancet'?
cheers, (with Bolly or Chinotto)
