It´s a great verb.
Let´s take blogger, for example, who´s code is so messed I can´t provide proper epithets for my photos.
However, can you really rue anything other than "the day"?
Allow me to provide captions.
1. Protecting the precious, precious grass from invading urbanism. Due to earthquakes, much of Santiago lies on shakey ground, and you see a lot of matchstick support pillars buttressing walls and buildings. Vacant lots are everywhere in my neighbourhood and look like these little urban-renewal sanctuaries, when in fact it´s a product of economic collapse. Cute.
2. The white elephant of the singing forest. Construction projects that lose funding become a nightmare for municipal beauracracy here, and often are left as half-resurrected lazarus pits, called white elephants in Chileno. When the wind is right this place whistles, hopefully.
3. Speed lines.
4. The leperous cathedral.
5. Noli me tangere.
6. In vino ventas.
7. And now for the swimsuit competition.
8. Mediocre landscape.
9. Peeling bubblegum baroque.
10. Geeze, Guevara (Dam, 2006)

"Rue" is on my top five best verbs list, alongside "purport" and "presuppose" and many others I cannot think of right now. Come home, Jordan. I miss your powder fresh complexion and your rapier wit. Our nation's capital calls out for you.
Rue for you making me wait to meet you, you sly ranconteur you.
But your equiping me with a lot of apt vocab, nothing to rue about that. *wink
Loving to learn, M.Asperagus
P.S. Rue De Petit Champlain is such a charming little crevice. I'll show ya what I got next time I holler back from France junior.

while i do agree with the multiple suggestions that you quite this fantasy or worldliness and head on home, i disagree with the insistance that we should rue things more. its really no good at all. EXCEPT when one vacates a condo that they have been sharing with their dear friend and leave it to the devices of their uber-messy brother, who proceeds to turn the condo into his personal version of a 15 year old boys uncleaned bedroom...with cigarettes and bongs. that's one thing i think a person should rue. also, a person should rue becoming dangerously obsessed with creepy soda-pop spokealiens, because it will ruin. your. life.
i love you like ben loves enormous baseball hat collections and hanging framed pictures of the trailor park boys in the kitchen.
peace.
by quite i mean quit and by spokealiens i mean spokesaliens...english teacher...prey for the next generation of learners people...
pablo piña:
i miss you
