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.

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

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.

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.

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.
