"Bully!"
A traveling website (whose last stop was at the art thread, but it turns out it has an image problem and didn't feel liked over there) dedicated to one I love, Eka, or Constance Frederika, which shortens to that.

She held her brother Roualeyn in high esteem. He wrote about his big-game hunting in Afica. Another brother wrote of his hunts in India. The Gordon-Cumming family was from Northumberland.

The DPS will re-convene, and when we do, we'll have this topic as our topic:
Verses vs. the Universe, with the Universe as our special guest, reading from its latest bloopers list. Bring your own booze and bring your own Clif Bars or whatever to the Camp 4 lot. The date will be posted earlier this next time.
Rinero's tossed us out last night because, like their sign reads, "When you're out of dineros, you're out of Reineros's."

"One Foggy Morning" The birds were all a-scorning
The nests that they were born in
Relying only on their down.
An they sat and watched a movie
It was old but it was groovy
And it even used a thing that men call sound.
They should have fired that director
And I'm no flaw detector
Of talent he is so bereft.
But they were only pig-birds
And you know silly pig-birds
Sh#t only on that which they have perched.
I could continue with this ditty,
But it might get a lot less pretty...
Maybe I should stop and go to church.

The fog has now become rain.
It was dry but now it's a pain.
It's too wet to go out
This can't mean that the drought
Is over and won't come again.Thank you, Care Bears!

Thank you, neebee, for posting that.
I 'set that up.' Remember Field of Dreams, the Kevin Costner movie about baseball?
He was told, "If you build it, he will come."
This old Mouse, it seems, concocted 'a better neebee trap.'
I watched part of the movie earlier, thanks to your page on FB.
I liked Ida Lupino.
She liked Howard Duff.
I'd have gone for Ida.
I just wasn't old enough.

hey there say, mouse... wow, yep--you did...
as to this--aww, fun way, to say it:
I 'set that up.' Remember Field of Dreams, the Kevin Costner movie about baseball?
He was told, "If you build it, he will come."
This old Mouse, it seems, concocted 'a better neebee trap.'
say, now if you can ever find that 'waltz' from the marx brother's movie,
i will stop by the ol' flame's mouse trap, again,
even when i am having this busy pre-holiday season, :))
otherwise, of COURSE, i alwaysssssssssss stop by, when i am on line...
sadly, though, i still load these pages far too slow... i think it is due to so many videos ALL on the same page, here, at the taco...
:)

I've never had a fish taco.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
There. I feel so much better having said that.
Thinking of leaders. (Francis Lederer)
Led naturally to motels.
I don't understand what brought on the cat deluge.
Got a great repository filled with canine shots, too.
Rin Tin Tin was a role model. So was Lassie. Mr. Ed was a jerk. Cosby was the cat's meow.
Role models come to mind. There is a fine line here--
but what a man did stays with him, no time limit (chipping holds in rock, for example);
and if he's not man enough to admit it, then he deserves what he gets when his name is dragged through his own filth, if proven guilty.
It's a nasty business, being part of the media.
"Let's jump on this, guys. It's gonna sell lotsa papers."
Tommy T. got a job cleaning out a house of some folks he knew. Stack of mags, three bottles of wine, and an old Russian 35mm film camera were part of his plunder.
The wine was from San Bernabe Vineyards. It was delicious, but it hadn't a label and I'm not sure what variety it was, but, as has been asked recently,
who cares?

Tomorrow, the DAY.
"Who's Jave Kay, Unca Mouse?"--one of the meese's nieces back when
I've looked through the Wise-Ass Joke Repository and there are NO good jokes about JFK's killing.
Even Don Rickles left it alone.
As T Hocking said, "November sucks." (Or words to that effect on a thread best left entombed.)
Jave Kay Redux
That cemetery flame still is burning
And my heart has since stopped yearning
For Camelot's new frontier.
It's best to let him lie there,
It's not as if we don't care,
Just stop and shed a tear.
They really botched this investigation, beginning to end.Mannlicher might have made a few bucks off of it.Not every picture tells the truth, but that's politics and big bucks talking.

That's a pretty unbelievable set that Sonny and Brownie were playin' on.
Make it real, but don't make it appeal.Send me to the one-holer.
Those photos were in an Ebony article, very persuasive, too, about how the New South was all a crock, or to put it politely, a myth.
I wasn't there, but it was my problem all the same, according to the Politically Correct Faction. But, like the rest of the crew, I had no solutions, not surprisingly. Personally, I simply dug the shiv out of the guitar music and the chorus and one verse in this song--guess which one.
I've never really paid much attention to rock lyrics, except for Dylan and some others. they are often just afterthoughts to make the music more salable. Instrumentals are so boring...Classical Gas comes to mind first.
I hate feeling guilty about having a good time. Funk PC when it gets all up in my face over what's being promoted by fine decent men like Lynnyrd Skynnrd: These Southern Boys just tryin' to rise again, make some bread, and entertain, it's too bad they could not have gone to the higher level.
Just my opinion, mind you.

The camera looks like a Zorky, a soviet Lieca knockoff
Should say зоркий on it somewhere

Happy Holidays, gang.
The warm stoves of memory and desire are burning sweet apple wood.
The turkeys are hung in the shop windows with NO GIBLETS, PLEASE!
And the Sweater Gal is hanging in there nobly in...
PEYTON PLACE!

So do what comes natural...kick back and refresh your soles.
I'm gonna.

Th Rad Lab is and that is the point .
the very first Rad Lab was in Tuxedo Park New York.
Alfred Lee Loomis came to prominence over and over again in
a few different fields. Most famous for not wanting to be famous!
He organized the Rad Lad as the need to achieve modern radar.
The development of the technology that was brought about by many great
minds working on the problems in a situation that latter might be like the "boiler room "
Groups and individuals given freedom to dedicate time to one pressing problem
The Tudor style Mansion was located on a bluff with a fair size cliff that was the scene of very early 1900s roped Rock climbing this runs as a blasphemy and to my sorted self Flames!!
To soon my a actual day looms with an early start and stress from stepping around swells like those from the Rad Lab, Lego robot national challenge make a robot arm out of the blocks they supply cool servos and motors.
