hey there say, brandon_ this might help with the decipher:
i reckon it like this:
that is mouse's way of saying:
thank you.. welcome to thread and sit down and have a beer...
:)
he speaks in 'mouse code'... sometimes hard to understand,
unless you study the pictures and look for word tricks, :)
*did i reckon, right? mouse, ?
after all, i hang out with a dog and five cats and a bird and two rats, and a rabbit all day, so sometimes i miss out on 'mouse lingo'...
different from rat lingo, too, fourlegged or--two legged (which,as to two legged is good to be different from) :)

Simon says, do what I do. He's the one in orange.
Dans Ma Chambre
There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room
Songwriters E.W. Martin, G.L. Usher, B. Wilson, M. Gayle
Aussi, mes souris,
I have your picture in my room
I have your picture in my room
I put it in a frame
And every day of sadness
when I need affection
I often talk to him as if you were there
I have your picture in my room
I asked in a frame
She gives me confidence
And every night I think
that you'll be there tomorrow with me
When you're angry soon I'll talk to you
You do not answer,
but I understand in your eyes
That you're not angry
That you have forgiven me
for it is your picture that unites us
This is why
{Verse 1}
{instrumental} La la la ..... etc.
{3rd verse}
{2nd verse} And every night I think
That you 'll be there tomorrow with me

"In My Room" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Gary Usher for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1963 album Surfer Girl. It was also released as the B-side of the "Be True to Your School" single. The single peaked at number 23 in the U.S. and was eventually inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. "In My Room" was ranked number 212 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.--Wiki thanks you
Johnny Farago
Jean-Yves Béland (15 June 1944--31 July 1997), better known under the pseudonym of Johnny Farago (Béland is the name of his mother and Farago name of his father), is a singer from Quebec who was a member of the group The Mercedes until 1964, after which he made a solo career and became quite popular in the second half of 1960, primarily due to French versions of American hits. An admirer of Elvis Presley, he spent much of his career in emulation and paying homage. He died July 31, 1997, as a result of a stroke.
Was 1968 all that far ago? It doesn't feel like it.

It's no use. I woke in pain with a cramp in my foot. Can't get comfy so I sit in my room. Hello again, walls.
My bookshelves are regularly dusted. My hands are clean.
The roaches hate me. I hope. I hate them. They sh#t everywhere.
They have a saying in the Buddhist sects about killing insetcs. I can't recall it. It's not germane.
There're no commandments against killing bugs here.Hey, bugs are everywhere.
Some bugs hide well. Some are blindingly fast.
It's, like, the government's invaluable research never ceases to better our lives, man, they keep things real by being mysterious and aboveboard at the same time. Politicians are still like bugs, they're flashy and good to look at in the photographs, but they are eating you out of existence.
Yep. I'm channeling Pop Laval, whose mojo is powerful.

All this maundering got me thinking of that Bukowski.
I tried the moonshot again from my unique perspective, the lowest stair in the second flight of eight steps leading from Middle Earth to the fourth floor. The one with the foot print on the wall below the window through which I finally shot the moon.
It's not Ansel, it's not a weasel.
It's a moonstruck mouse.
Amy's trying again, too.
I love you, kiddo, and if you're out there watching the moon tonight somewhere in Red Rocks, LV, wear a smile and dance.
And watch out for parrots.

Herr Mouse:
The Bull is a bit wobbly afoot and his back hurts alot. I guess it comes with the two purple heart territory.
He's going strong though, has been for ninety years.
You can see why I paid heed when he said "you better leave my daughter alone", when she was a Jung blood. All is forgiven now and he (actually all three of them) really like me a lot.
Thanks for askin'

One Chapter from this old WWII book.This was not printed on "wartime stock." And it's a second printing, too.
KIRKUS REVIEW
This parallels, to some extent, for aviation training in the Army what Love At First Flight by Spaulding and Carney (Houghton, Mifflin) did for the Navy. Ryan and his chum, Sod, brush rejection aside and manage to get in; they report at Thunderbird Field, Phoenix. They despair over preliminary conditioning, over the boners they pull; Ryan makes his instructors grow old before their time, and Sod stays in his own brand of hot water. Eventually, they solo, and go on up the ladder but it takes Pearl Harbor to sober them. Bakersfield -- Stockton and graduation, supply further background. Pleasant reading, light amusing, basically serious.
like endless rain into a paper cup
My dad flew trainers at Tulare during '43. He had his cadet training at Des Moines, IA, where this book by Mr. Ryan begins! The only other book I've read like this is Old Man In a Baseball Cap.
Really?

The above is brought to you by the makers of Brawny Bonnie Butt Bags.
This ad is approved by Bilbo Baggins, his new GF--the Author Styled Miss Howdee, and the Two Nuns Modeling Agency, Fresno, who supplied the cheerleaders.
Butt shots rock.
And racquetball needs to be played indoors. Climbing, anyplace, really.
Killshots rock, too.
W.O.R. = intense warlike outdoor racquetball

I spent many many hours on the indoor courts while the Sierra Nevada waited "out there," beyond Yosemite Avenue, on the horizon, for me to come to my senses.
It was a good reason for hitting the bar after a match--like horseshoes, the drinking guy's perfect sport.
On the other hand, the cardio workout was beneficial, as all I did at work was lots of standing around on hard concrete watching the machines that I kept fed.
Had I the partner, back then in the eighties, or the true calling, really, ultimately, I'd have been climbing instead. Or I wish it had been so. If this is regret, so be it.
This sound familiar to some of you?
