They're aglets, of course. I didn't know, but I went to www.askjeeves.com and got this (click). You can also just go to ask.com and you'll get there.

Ode to the Aglet

After there was plastic, but before there was Velcro,
You, O aglet, were king.
Divinest of concepts, simplest of thoughts,
Placed on my shoestring.

When shoelaces die, you still will shine,
E'en under a layer of dirt.
Yet if you should crack under life's strain,
Tying will be more the hurt.

So aglet, this day, keep out the fray
That is lace's desire,
And aglet, one day, may your esteem
Righteously be lifted higher.

This looks like a perfect example of a loose thread to me. And now to bed.

Just for the record, I did know they were called aglets without having to ask Jeeves. Ahh, the strange things you retain from playing Trivial Pursuit as a kid.

egret. Or is that 'regret' with a missing 'r'?

a baby eagle is a chick, an eaglet, or an eyas. A VERY young eagle baby is an egg. ( A mind is a trivial thing to waste...or something like that)

A Duck may be somebody's mother...

possibly even the mother of Harpo, Chico, Gummo, Zeppo, Groucho or Karl.

Because one leg is boh the same?

The reason fools fall in love is because they don't understand love. Unfortunately, this is also the reason wise poeple fall in love.

The 12th of never occurs on February 30th on Leap Years, or at the completion of the sideral cycle of Arcturus, whichever comes first.

A duck is because. Everybody knows that.

I used to be able to get brown sugar cubes... but then I gave up taking sugar. Perhaps it was no longer economical to produce them after I stopped.

Can anyone tie up the loose ends of this thread or should we just walk away tongue-tied. That is a truly knotty problem(or is it naughty?).

Egrets. I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

A female egret is an egress?   It thought it was "exit"!

If you have no egrets, you will not become old and bittern.
