I've never seen such a beautiful smile, falafel. :0)
Maybe on the gal sleeping & dreaming of a lion, or the ML.
Oh, never mind, just a tear...
I'm feeling awful about "falafel" and take it back, OK? ??:0)??

hey there, say... mouse...
we got a RIDDLE FOR YOU:
*what is sometimes, though not always--nutty before fruition, while keeping its sanity by those with a good sense of mind...
*arrives by way of goats or cows, if allowed to gather...
*is black and white, or even as faceted as a rainbow, and read all over, except when when it is more
than three sheets to the winds...
*it viewed by some, as a fine line with angles, if presented proper, from point A, to B...
*is coated of many colors, yet, flat to the human eye...
*and is wet or dry, while being warm or cold...
*yet can keep many things high and dry, if used properly...
*strongly inspires the imagination, though easily falls into ruination...
*has a history all its own, and will now be a hit story and not by loud squeaky advances...
*is never irrelivant, inspite of its trunk,weight, or age...
*is useful on the run, though runs many times, not for fun...
*has trappings not of holidays, but yet inspires good cheer...
*and lastly, is known to sneak up when least expected...
AND--
and comes out of the boxing ring-of-life, with a song in its heart... ?
WELL, hopefully if you can't guess, you will know soon...
hee hee hee... ;)
hopes it's not late for ho ho ho :(

Ho ho ho
Hee hee hee
Can't neebee see
The joker laughs at the riddle
Coo coo ka-fiddle
And if that's not a good answer, try this.
My home state at it's atmospheric best.
"Aw, people suck."
Well, so does nature, my man. It can kill ya just as easy as thrill ya.
I know people who thrill this way. They are astounding.

neebee, I got this from Larry Jones in email with a link to Vimeo and it was this link that he sent:
http://vimeo.com/81616727
He used the word "amazing." He also disclosed that Vimeo loads faster than Huffington Post.
"Mama, pray, what is a 'stounding'? Is it like unto a Christmas Carol?"
"Oh, chile, the fack dat de stars exist. The fack dat y'all exist," prays God in return.

A nail in a fence post.
A rock under moss.
A leaf in the river.
A mountain of choss.
Sorry...it's a riddle, not verse.
What a riddliculous mus!
Marlow, did I see you wearing this icon of Deaf Wolfie? If you did use it at one time, for God's sake forgive me! I can switch to Bach if it's the case.

Amen, brother, sunshine.
Frosty loves him some sunshine.[Click to View YouTube Video]Dr. John sir, you look a little flushed.
Mr. Redbone, sir, it's fum goin' bumpity bump bump...all the live-long day. It ain't fum misbehavin'.
Dr., you have had no TIME for Miss B. Haven. You've been recording every night with me.
Oh, Mr. Redbone, sir, I done told you I been goin' bumpity bump bump all the live-long day. But it ain't Miss B. Haven, it's that li'l blonde who rents out the gri-gris over to the climbing gym.
Why, you mean Miss Jump Sturdy. Know her well. She climbs with GLee, like she bumps, doesn't she?
That there's the gal. She's teachin' me how to belay her. It's so much fun, I wrote a song 'bout her.

hey there, say, mouse... forgot to mention, since it is LATE now...
the box may not SEEM like it NEEDS the intructions... but:
yep, you will STILL need to USE the
"one a day" vitamin type power, of the box...
but, you CAN take care of the first
2 numbers, in one mighty SWOOP...
well, you will see why, however, for the others,
you can play by the rules, but:
the DATES will not be matching what would have been PEACHY,
otherwise... ;)
well, got to go next door and see the neighbor now...
posted this JUST in case...
however, if you GET the cookies, you CAN
use THOSE all at once, and not by numbers, :))

Dreaming of Wolfie and ScroogeWE WERE SO LIGHT & GAY
When we still lived among the land
And in the trees
And were the wind itself in the trees
We were blessed
Now we are called saints
But now is not our time
To be blissful
It can never be explained
Do the best you can
Until your times to come to join us
Have a care in what you say
Please others not yourselves
--but, O my! for goodness' sake, better you don't be PUSHY with it! :))
Walk the woods and climb the mountains
While you may
And trust to God

Oh, Mouse, it is okay. Everyone is confused by both my names, feralfae and iloilo. I am used to it. :)
No matter, no worries.
Have a wonderful Holiday season, enjoy the little mice and all the rest that is on its way to you.
Merry, merry!
Happy, happy!
Peace

It turned out he was only curious.
Back when the Flames roared, we (but I'm only really speaking for myself--who knows what lies in the hearts of men?) never thought about potential homo-erotic episodes like spooning on a bivvy, or having pissing contests off the belay stance, or pissing on each other, for that matter, though there is a picture of Larry whizzin' on the lower-down beings on this thread, in the distant past.
And there was the time Randy landed in my lap after that fall on Tweedle Dee, or was it Tweedle Dum?
And I didn't know Nietsche even died, Marlow. Did he write anything worth while? Really? Cuz I can't complain about my life, despite not having had the experience of examining his work.
Hell, I didn't even know Dennis Cardoza had resigned a year ago today! Did you see that post? Marcel came by and he laughted his butt off and we had to settle it like mice: With carving knives. It was no sweat--he threw first and I got mine to stick way out there, so he couldn't stretch that far and it turns out I was still wrong, because he then showed me the date, Dec. 17, 2012.
I'm sticking with my imagination and leaving the facts for someone else. I couldn't even give out the right times for moonrise and set yesterday.
Hey, Gene, did you see that post, bud? Where were you, WatchDawg? I won't delete it, cuz it was no troll. I am, in this respect, an idiot, much to my chagrin, as I just nailed Nemesis to the wall with such verve that it scared me.
Sorry, Nembo, I'm not hypocritical, just human. but there was food for thought in that post.
Nobody that posts on the Flames sucks. In fact...sorry, not gonna go there again without rehearsal of the ducks.

Hi Mouse,
Thank you for the link.
As I am kicked back on this, my Wednesday off from the world, I clicked and enjoyed both The Ransom of Red Chief & The Gift of the Magi today between bringing in firewood and making chicken soup.
Great stories, with hilarious irony and beautiful love. Nice gift to us all for the season.
Thank you.

hey there say, mouse... saw the pidgeon-hole of an email, ;)
such fan-fair, those ol' pidgeons...
say, forgot to get back to you--did know of the two stories, but have time now, and as feralfae did, i will go back and read them, as a 60 year old now, ;) instead of young mom, (and before that, as an unmarried school gal) :))
well, we all the cry of the day:
it's not 'off belay' it's WHERE IS BOX OF 'ON THE WAY?'
thanks for the distracting story of the quickly distracted pidgeons,
and the glass that got dis-tracked from its tact...
and the imagined-images of a box-gone-wrong...

It's just the Gift of the Magi, neebee, not the Ransom of Red Chief, on the VOA link.
I am real happy you got to see the films, Ilollo. And I am going to be doing some filming soon, of a sort. You may have a good role. I'll let you know when the ducks get here. The monkeys are due in the next two days.
"Is that cryptic, or what, Watson?"--Holmes, in the film adaptation of the Lost Jar of Jar Jar Binks, c. Joe Mumm Productions, 1967.
As I told neebee in that series of emils, she herslf (HA!) may have a LEADING role in this or maybe another of my Tripot Cinema productions, many of which are slowly simmering in the back ranges of my brian.
The best scene I have yet written involve castles and Spanish mice and in which I hope to cast Lynn Hill as HERSELF. I've been trying to decide whether to use attacking hordes of mice and defending barbarians,
or the other way around, but either way it is an excellent scenario because the mice always win, and the barbarians ALWAYS lose.
Ain't no ransoming the castle, either. It's ya either do or yer gunna die time in old the old Spanish west. Bastille in Castille is the working title. Three Blind Mousketeers is in the running. South Bay Watch Company is underwriting my efforts, BTW. Some back-channel rumors have it that there is a contest involving this production. NOT TRUE, please do not pm me over this...thx.
For zBrown, special numbers.

T Hocking, really, what do you REALLY KNOW about Etna? Dish about your experiences in the Scott if you've dipped a paddle there, por favor. Wanna know, so get thee ducks to row, and kick back with some Shasta Nasty and and and and write your story. The one of your days early on the rope was really gripping. Couldn't tell if your were gunna come through all that.
Roger's art is so effin' cool, too. Thanks a tonne, ya Giant Englishman.
That was a good read, so I know you gotta have SOMETHING for us for Christmas.
Nice nice very nice shot of you and Mo and the big birch, BTW. :0)
