Uh-oh...'spaw's having that Caesar delusion again. Do you know how long it took us to hide the body last time he decided to crucify someone? And that Spartacus dude...man, that was bad.

Re: Turtle Poo It doesn't hatch. After being assured by the owner of our local pet store that our turtle had in fact laid eggs, my son and I invested in a special warming lamp, cotton beds, etc. and watched as it grew green and moldy and smelly. Another expert informed us that we were in fact attemting to hatch turtle droppings and risking salmonella poisoning. Can't imagine that there would be much of a market for it.

?? We have kept turtles a number of times, and I don't see how one could possibly mistake turtle poop for eggs. sorry. Now on the other hand, a guppy with a bit of ~ahem~ constipation can easily be mistaken for pregnant....

Turtle Shit? I thought they were about ready to crucify someone, but I only count two. We need a "Man in the Middle". Is it to be Fielding, our scrolling GUEST, or perhaps someone who has been there before?

Haven't you guys ever heard the news from Lake Woebegone? It's definitely a bad idea to talk about good news. *s*

Good gravy Spaw, seems I'm always digging myself out of a hole! WORK SONG TIME!!!

Underground are the Tunnel Tigers
Far from the sun and the light of day
Down in the land that the sea once buried
Driving a tunnel through the London clay
Up with the shield, jack it, ram it!
Drive a tunnel through the London clay!

Caitrin, I do not understand. What happened at Lake Woebegone?
And why is it definitely a bad idea to talk about good news?

Bonnie, haven't you even heard Garrison Keillor? (That's where I first heard Dunderbeck when I was 11 years old)

Mbo, you would be amazed at who I have not heard of. But I am willing to learn. Can't promise I will remember everything, but I will try my best.

Ha ha, truth to tell, I only hear the show that one time! I used to listen to his "Writer's Almanac" on NPR before WTEB ditched it for "Pulse of the Planet." I know what Lake Woebegon IS but don't know anything about it...so I don't know much about it either...

Well who's that comin', through that door...."

Ah, the Lake. Home of many Norwegian bachelor farmers.....Lake Wobegone, where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are above average. The home of Powdermilk Biscuits, the biscuits that give shy people the strength to get out and do what has to be done....and Bertha's Kitty Boutique in the dales..Clydesdale,Chippendale,Hillandale,Royandale, and all the fine shopping malls.

BonnAmmie------If you're not familiar with "Prairie Home Companion" and Garrison Keillor, you NEED to be. A great radio show. Now I know what to get you when its gift time.

Bonniedarlin', in Lake Woebegone, they don't like to talk about good fortune too much. It sounds like bragging. And if you're bragging, the good fortune's bound to disappear. *g*

Caitrin, thanks for the explanation. I can understand it is not wise to boast with good fortune but when there is a wonderful feeling around the Mudcat being in a good balance, this is something to be appreciated.
Appreciation and gratitude are catalyst to good fortune.

Thanks Catspaw. I think for Christmas this year I am going to get you a post hole digger. A heavy equipment kind that takes two people to hold steady.

Here's a link to Lake Wobegon. Go there, and never leave it for too long without visiting.
