Don't forget the bed bugs. And btw, why do people say "crazy as bedbugs" or is it just me that says that?

Sometimes I wonder as I wander [which is from some song or the other. I couldn't have just made it up, I don't think [and that's a problem-the not thinking part, not the wandering part].

But just to add some culture to this mix and mash, speaking of wandering, the word "griot" that became known as a result of the "Roots" TV series usually translates as "wandering minstrel" and is a referent for the West African hereditary class of musicians/singers/historians. But "griots" is a French term and the African title used for this class of performing artists {male & female}in Senegal and The Gambia is "djaliba" or "jali". [source some books and some people from those cultures who I met up with along the way].

And now back to the poop...and the hampsters...and the kidnapping of Harpgirl {???!!!} and the spelling...

and whatever else happens happens.

It's okay Janie.....Take all the time you want to figure it out. Or take all the turds you can stand.......Gets a bit odiferous but, uh........Hey! Stand? Gets?

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes.....Ahhhhh.

Sorry... Had an Antonio Carlos Jobim moment there at the mention of Stan Getz.......Ya' know when you read the words to that, you have to ask, was the girl from Ipanema getting ooooo's and ahhh's or was she walking down the beach farting? Which brings us back to the turds....

I object strongly to all this thread creep. Let's get back on topic....

The Shambles is (are) still holding the hamsters (hampsters) hostage up there in space, we still don't know if the airbags worked, and Mick still has not posted a picture of himself done up as Dulcinea. How in the world can you think that Maine moose sh*t, blueberry pie or torpedo shaped dog turds have any bearing (baring) (burying-oops--that would be cat turds not moose turds) on the plight of rodents in general, or hampsters, gerbils, or the Mudcat in particular!

(He may have kidnapped harpgirl--either that or they were in cahoots cuz she disappeared even before the hampsters.)

With turds it's generally the experience that a turd-passing leaves one feeling better. I don't get the impression Sham's make him feel the least bit better, about anything.

The internal contradictions in his posts are coming more often and more clearly-- words left out that, because they are not included, reverse the meaning of what he says. Posts where all the words are there, but the statements don't reconcile with other statements he's just made or that he makes a few posts later. Statements about the harms done to "all Mudcat" that are soon admitted as perceived harms done only to his own feelings. See for yourself-- it's all coming apart.

Hey, Wesley! Did you buy an "a" thereby causing me to spell "reasonable" wrong?

No??

Wesley asked "What are we spelling?"

My response:
Don't start me to lyin. I was just tryin to do my part to move this conversation to some subject that a resonable person could figure out and maybe have a bit of fun with.

So if an "E" doesn't for you, you can buy another vowel.

Maine turd stirring practices:-

One starts with dog turds, plentiful and easy to obtain, especially when you are the proud owner of a 90lb yellow lab. This way, if you get it wrong you aren't messing up a good'un.

Once you've got the practice you can go on to woodchuck, chipmunk or skunk. The real prize is to find the moose turds, much prized for their use in pies, second only to blueberry pie in this part of the world.

One has to be able to describe, in as few words as possible, the odour resulting from the stirring process and to grade on a scale of 1 - 10, the extent to which such movement increases the aroma.

If you come and visit we'll take you out to practice the art.

Turd analogies are just so preposterous......I love 'em!

Back in the mid 70's Ted Turner took a new 12 Meter out for testing name Mariner. This was one of the ugliest Twelves ever built and as is so often true, beauty is speed and ugly is slow and Mariner was dog slow. It had a fair bow but the stern was cutoff square with a trasom alost 90 degrees to the waterline. The designer went into long explanations about the design and how it would just take a little work to get it up to speed.

Turner put in a lot of work and the thing just got slower. Turner went off on the designer and the boat screaming at a press conference that, "Even a turd is tapered at both ends!"

Sins, don't make me go! It was YOU I was worried about! Did they make you do that when you moved there? Is it some kind of downeast initiation procedure? Stir a turd for Maine or something? Was it gruesome? Come to think of it, does Bush stir turds in Kennebunkport? Or does he just spin Junior and Jeb a few times for the same effect?

So many questions................

Geeziz Kendall......Is that something you Maine folk have experience at? I mean I've never stirred a turd myself but I'm willing to take your word for it! I suppose it has something to do with the weather. Not much to do in the cold winter so y'all stir a turd every now and again huh? Well to each his own I say!
