I've already got one gammy eyeball, so I thought, what the heck else could happen?

Besides, it's just human nature to do things opposite to what the sign says. How many times have you pulled the push door, looked, when told not to and hit your head on the 'mind your head' sign?

I once touched an electric fence to see what it felt like, even though the sign said not to. My ex often described me as the kind of person who touches electric fences for the heck of it. It was probably the nicest thing he ever said - well, he is my ex. But it must explain why I married him.

Now that I'm here, where are the donuts?

Not so much hot stoves. My habit was climbing up on top of the piano, falling off, and landing on my head. Later on, it was trees (climbing up, falling out, and landing on my head). 'Splains a lot, I'd say.

He was particularly emphatic with this pronouncement when he caught me opening threads I shouldn't.

If only he could see me now.

My God! Perhaps he can.

I didn't actually open this thread. I thought it said Warninks and was an advert for booze!

Latest reports have it that we now have enough lerts so I am in training to be aloof. Loof populations have been falling lately due to global warming and polystyrene ceiling tiles, not to mention Xerox emissions which keep duplicating themselves. Damn, I was told not to mention the Xerox emissions!

Why do they have to be electric fences, why not gas ones or even oil fired? At least they'd keep the donuts warm in winter. A "Warning-do" is a stronger, nastier version of a "Billy-do" which is some sort of french letter. Sorry, I mean a letter written in French.

Hey, I think an oil fired one would be rather good - it would keep them just sorta simmering along, so to speak. As for french letters........

Hé, je pense que une huile a mis le feu à un serait plutôt bonne - elle les continuerait sorta juste à simmering le long, ainsi parlerait. Quant aux lettres françaises........

Hé, I think that an oil put fire at one would be rather good - it would continue them just sorta with simmering length, thus would speak. As for the French letters........

How did whelks get in here? Have they wandered off the path of their annual migration, or were they just being nosey?

Re donuts (or, in English, doughnuts) are they of the ring variety with a hole in the middle, or the spherical type with a filling of jam. How are they attached to the fence. Is the fence plain wire, barbed wire or wooden. If wooden, how do you get the electricity to run through it? Do whelks eat doughnuts or do they prefer danish pastries. Is a whelk's home known as a shell-ter?

Lynne, given your antecedents as a MBS and having warbled there myself a time or two, I can't help thinking that something to do with twigs might be appropriate. Perhaps with a little steam thrown in for good measure and a roll in the snow.........

Sorry, I was getting quite carried away.

Subject: RE: BS: Warning-do not open this thread

Date: 14 Oct 04 - 10:43 AM

I envision the ring type of donut - that way you can hook 'em over the bits of barbed wire that are sticking up, and they can be heated from the inside out - I wooden have them any other way.

Ellen, I'll let you have a few, but not too many - I need my daily donut fix. And if any of those shellfish whelks try to steal them, whelk, they can just sod off. They are not whelcome - the very idea.....(mutter, mutter)

Thanks jenny, for your gracious offer. With all honesty I can't remember the last time I ate a donut, electrically charged or otherwise.

As for whelks, I had my first and only taste of them about three years ago while with a friend visiting Wales. There was a fellow selling all manner of strange and wonderful things from his little white wagon on the pier, and I quite like what I tried, and it didn't make me sick afterwards, which is always a plus.

The combination of these two things in this thread, though, has made me quite quesy, so perhaps I'll...urp...pass on them both.
