Subject: RE: . From: Severn Date: 30 Jul 07 - 04:32 PM I had a hunch it was so, GS. And when the name Quasimodo rang a bell, I realized he was the half brother of Semimodo. Both of them kinda look like they'd been through the ringer, but if the bell laws are stricken and re-pealed, they'll be back to work before the time that they'd have to go through the changes. Just like they tolled us a thousand times before. |

Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jul 07 - 12:18 PM I had a plant once that was nearly a bonsai. It was a quasi-bonsai. |
Subject: RE: . From: John Hardly Date: 30 Jul 07 - 11:33 AM "I was told in choir that since my mishap with the door that I am no longer a soprano but an al-toe." hmmm. And I would have suggested quasi-no-toe. |

Subject: RE: . From: John Hardly Date: 30 Jul 07 - 05:38 AM I wish I were a Brit I'd never again say "shit" It sounds so erudite when made to rhyme with "white" And "fecking", so I've heard, Is another British word just oozing savoir-faire To the backward Yankee ear. Only the uncultured masses Refer to "tits" and "asses" The Queen sits on 'er "oss" so that's the proper way to go. oo oo oo I wanna be like You oo oo I wanna walk like you, talk like you |

Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jul 07 - 04:45 PM A great thread started Brucie, I read with all my might. The only problem I see, Is it's a load of..... Can't think of anything to rhyme with might!!! |
Subject: RE: . From: cookster Date: 29 Jul 07 - 01:59 PM Hah I'm a head of you. |
Subject: RE: . From: JennyO Date: 29 Jul 07 - 01:15 PM That's what the headhunter said - I want to get a head of you! |
Subject: RE: . From: gnu Date: 29 Jul 07 - 01:02 PM What's that up, a head? |
Subject: RE: . From: Severn Date: 29 Jul 07 - 12:29 PM Praise The Lord! Have I reached the 700 Club? |
Subject: RE: . From: Severn Date: 29 Jul 07 - 12:22 PM Back in the early 70's, when we'd drive past a roadsign that said "Signal Ahead", other longhair types in the car would inevitably lift up two fingers and say, "Peace, Brother!" Kinda got old after a while, but then, so did we.... A good old yellow-and-black American "Yield Ahead" road sign might look good posted on the Tower Of London, though. My favorite that was actually there on purpose was a sign that said "Slow Children Playing" in front of a school for retarded youth. |
Subject: RE: . From: JennyO Date: 29 Jul 07 - 12:16 PM Similarly - "Falling rocks don't stop". Yeah, I knew that. |
Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jul 07 - 10:59 AM You do have to be careful how you read signs...In my youth I saw one saying "Wet Paint" and was arrested for doing so. |
Subject: RE: . From: Severn Date: 29 Jul 07 - 08:35 AM I play no instruments. I sing a bit, accapella. Right now, I live accapella. The worst parts of that life can be too meaningless even for this thread. The best parts are way above and beyond it. You get some of the back roads, alleys and fringes of the middle to lower middle grounds in here. I hope I haven't disobeyed any "No Dumping" signs. In fact, I'll tell the arresting officer that I thought the sign said, "Fine For Dumping", so I did. And will continue to do. And I hope any Severn overflowings that might cause any damage never come from me. Not that it all means anything, or it wouldn't be here. If it ever starts to, Joe can make any post an offer it can't refuse and send it to either Severn river bottom in cement shoes. ....But back to our regulary scheduled stuff. I recently saw where some sort of institute for the study of Hpynotism in Silver Spring MD was having a open symposium. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall for THAT one! It would have had the makings of a great Saturday Night Live sketch. |
Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jul 07 - 04:20 AM Yes and not a Low C at the moment! Or river for that matter! |
Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jul 07 - 10:25 PM I'm assuming that Severn plays an instrument, and that's where the Severn meets the C. |
Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jul 07 - 05:34 PM Severn....yes thanks to the provision of water by the Severn-Trent Water folk. |
Subject: RE: . From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 07 - 05:24 PM Severn, yes. But since it made no sense to most Cats, I beleive there was no real contribution to the thread. Insert emoticon here. |
Subject: RE: . From: John Hardly Date: 28 Jul 07 - 04:28 PM No need for a toe truck. Just get a bag of Fritos. It's cheaper. |
Subject: RE: . From: Severn Date: 28 Jul 07 - 04:26 PM "Ya-a-ard Sales, in the Sunset!......" Don't get Maine Toe Poisioning while you're out, House Cat! And remember, whatever you do, you'll always land on your feet, so be extra careful. You can hobble, but you can't hide!..... Is the door jamb all right? How 'bout the toe jam? And don't call the ambulance--Call the Toe Truck! -------------------------------------------------------------- Georgiansilver, Did the reward amount to a "token of your S-steam"? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gnu, "Bledsoed"?

Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:51 AM What a great feat that would be! |
Subject: RE: . From: John Hardly Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:26 AM "Hardly John." Hardly, John ********************************************************** Maybe you could make the toe more comfortable by putting some down under it. It might help put it back to its more aboriginal state. |
Subject: RE: . From: HouseCat Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:22 AM Toe is sort of "down under" because I can't move it to straighten it out...ouch ouch ouch. |
Subject: RE: . From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:19 AM Hardly John. |
Subject: RE: . From: John Hardly Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:17 AM "...my toe still hurts like the devil and has turned a lovely shade of aubergine." Probably like a Tasmanian Devil, the toe being, "down under" much like your lovely shade of aborigine. By the way, did you know you misspelled "aborigine"? |
Subject: RE: . From: HouseCat Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:10 AM Whatever I'm meant to do with it, my toe still hurts like the devil and has turned a lovely shade of aubergine. |
Subject: RE: . From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jul 07 - 11:03 AM You are supposed to kick OUT the jambs. |
Subject: RE: . From: HouseCat Date: 28 Jul 07 - 10:36 AM I kicked the door jamb in the dark last night getting up to go to the bathroom and I think I broke my pinkie toe. |
Subject: RE: . From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jul 07 - 10:28 AM I gave myself to them in fine style....for a couple of hours. |

Subject: RE: . From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 07 - 06:55 AM Severn, my dear man. That would have made sense. Tsk. Tsk. Anyway, I really don't think he'll last. I mean, if you scramble on most downs, you are gonna get hit a lot of them. Eventually, he's gonna get Bledsoed. Kung powed? |
