Peter T. "that form of burlesque that followed each Greek tragedy". Do you know something I don't? I understood burlesque was a C17 Italian term.

I did that too, took a picture of a loved one out of my wallet and ripped it up into little pieces. Then I threw them down a sewer grate. No lie.

Oh, Annimated, I'm coming for sure, but I'll be bringing my dear friend MaryCrack with me. I need some one around who will laugh at all of my lame ass jokes. BertnErnie might be coming over, but he said he might be a little late. He needs to get injected with some growth hormones. I tried to talk him out of it. I told him size doesn't matter, but he refused to listen to me. Oh well. I'll see you then.

And I look down onto the frozen pond, which the wind has rippled into an imperfect mirror, and I see the deep December sky, and I think -- is this pond image a parody of the real? -- an amusing distortion -- or a travesty? -- one of the many inadequate representations of that immensity arching above us, but this one a failure of Nature herself -- or perhaps even a burlesque? -- not the low form of burlesque, but that form of burlesque that followed each Greek tragedy designed to send the patrons home laughing at their own part in the vast comic conspiracy? Or, as Traherne says, is such an image an image of ourselves, distorted reflections of the ideal that we carry about with us; or, to be more pointed, like the crumpled photographs of forgotten loves that the lonely carry about half-forgotten in their wallets, to be rediscovered only occasionally when, upon receipt of a new wallet on Christmas day, the shards of one's official life and one's unofficial secrets, are shaken out from the old and transferred to the new?

This reminds me very little of the time I broke both my g strings while playing my 12 string in the swimming pool.The song was was in contrapuntal tuning and very difficult to play. I learned it from a 45 or was it an EP of Lower Slobbovian folkditties. If you want the chords,lyrics. and full orchestral score,I have the songbook around here somewhere and will snail mail them to you.

Hi there, Catters! My ancient joints are creaking this evening. I am so excited! I just recieved my first package from the Hair Club! Well, anyways, I hope you all have your notepads handy, and your creative juices flowing, 'cause you're gonna need them for our next challenge!!

This challenge was sent to me, the great and holy Queen of The Mudcat, by my subject Amoose.

Naïve Detective Suspects Fair Play CHICAGO-- Phil Kelly, a naïve detective with Chicago's 15th Precinct, suspected fair play Monday in the shooting death of local businessman Arnold Haver. "The shocked expression on the victim's face leads me to believe that he received some tragic news and subsequently committed suicide," Kelly said. "The fact that the bullet hole entered through his back shows just how determined he was to kill himself." Kelly also cited the misspelling of Haver's name in the suicide note and the fact that the left-handed victim was found with the gun in his right hand as evidence of the incredible stress he was under before taking his own life.

Now my dear, loyal subjects, you all know the prize for winning this Challenge. The winner gets to guess my real age! So go for it Challengers!!

Ms. Kelpie here, claws unsheathed, and I am here to tell you that NONE of we seven, we Blessed Seven, ever drinks out of the porcelain font; THAT is reserved for the dawg! We worship at the feet of the Heat Goddess and partake of only the clean waters which have cycled through Her sacred sites.

Furthermore, we suspect Mr. A'm a gonna git you, is casting aspersions because he is just a young whippersnapper who needs his arse kicked not into the next county, but out there to that big ole LONELY Isle of which poor Hulaboy speaks. Perhaps then he might learn the proper respect for our quite YOUNG and Beloved Mistress!

Mrzzy..., The input box for the name is limited to 50 characters. It looks to me as if the is the size of this field in the datbase. My guess is that when it was decided to prefix names with "Guest,", this input box should have been reduced to accept only 44 characters to make a maximum of 50 in total.

I reckon I am the FAIR ONE and can beat the bodhran outta any of you, even tho ya are me mates! After visiting 250 different bodhran and flute makers in the "old country", I finally settled on 80 slightly different tunings for over 40 flutes, bought myself 30 new harps, enough to make sure you are all green with envy, so ya remind me of home, and managed to visit every trad musician ever to live in the most beautiful scenery imaginable, while packing my children on my back. Simultaneously, I took National Geographic-worthy pictures of the highpoints, sitting up in the wee hours at the pub downloading them for digital delivery to share with you lot.

I reckon it is to me da's credit and Rosie's that not once, while I was there, did I click my ruby red slippers and say, "There's no place like home." Now that I am back on the Yellow Brick Road, though, I am looking for those slippers!

As soon as I get done digging a hole to China in my garden and dump those pesky slugs down it, I will find that tune you newbies are looking for, after I make sure Kendal's megabytes don't take a chunk out of AntiMatteR.

Oh, by the by, I've just written a new tune, a real killer which will knock Bonnaphyte's white sox off, then we can examine the balanced view of why Spaw wants her to wear them.

This is in addition to my practising on a gazillion fiddles, toning up my voice, and imparting practical knowledge on the whole.

In my spare time I analyse critical situations with 8,000 words treatises on Satan's minions.
