A "Lord, I'm Bored" Digression - or "What Animal Is .....?"

Dlowan sometimes fares like a cuckoo. Cuckoo bird that is, but of course - what with planting her digression threads here and there and then observing how others adopt thema and take care of them, meddling in and laughing. and they make a whole lot of noise, and are listened to. the cookoos have prophetic qualities - they are supposed to mean different things depending on the time and the tone. Though the wabit does not seem to be willing to ever give up her babies and is all over every nest she ever laid eggs in. am getting trapped in this, abort quickly.
littlek is a fox or a wolf to me - concerned about family when the family is in danger or in need, but otherwise rather independent and solitary, wise and quick, (albeit foxes and wolves do have a good ear, ahem). dolfin? can't see that somehow.

Ha!

Aw, hell Diane... she's a fox. I coulda told you that (if Mrs. SP wans't in earshot.)

She certainly ain't no bunny.

OY!

Ask Margo wot? I know nuffink!

I've never heard of the Waifs either - I think they're having you on! A typical example of coming the raw prawn!

They're probably another figment of the imagination of that woman, whose name I have thankfully forgotten, but starts with M, (Mills?)who wrote that book about living with the Australian aborigines. It was a hit in US, and lots of people asked me about it. Over here, no-one had heard of it, until it hit the newspapers, and then we figured it was very poor fiction. But - Yanks believed it.

Waaaahh!! My pink colour has gone

Well, i ain'ta made nuthin' up . . . i only ast ya 'cuz i thought you'd know, miss smarty pants bunny . . . an' the same fer you miss margo the possum cat . . . so i went out and found a link fer THE WAiFS:

From that site, "The Band's History":



In 1985, dad taught me how to play guitar. I was 15 years old. He's a classic campfire style guitarist who can play any song with 4 chords. He's also a fisherman. The first song I ever learnt was Dylans, The times are a changing and I was hooked.

My sister Vikki picked up the guitar in about 1988 . She was 14 and playing, House of The Rising Sun. She was hooked.

Josh lived on a farm in New South Wales and picked up his first guitar after seeing Michael J fox play Johnny be Good in Back To The Future in 1987. He was also self taught and got hooked at 15.

In 1992 Vik, and I bought a campervan and headed off from Albany W.A. to travel around Australia singing. It was just the two of us girls, singing in the front bars of pubs in resorts, gold mines, zinc mines, biker bars, beer gardens, markets and fishing towns playing our favourite songs to anyone that chose to listen. Music was only a means of making money to travel. ….and travel we did.

We met up with Josh in 1992 in Broome far up on the remote North West Coast of Western Australia. He was on tour and playing bass guitar for an all bloke Rock n Roll band. We jammed for about 10 mins and I asked him to join the band and he said "ok"….. Just like that, and we became The Waifs. We toured around Australia now 3 of us living in the Van , for the next 3 years..

In 1996 we moved across the country and recorded an album with the help of Jen Anderson and Michael Thomas from "Weddings Parties Anything". Our self titled album "The Waifs" was released in 1996 Independently. We launched it in and around Melbourne and then hit the road again for another year touring.

In 1998 we released our 2nd album "Shelter Me" recorded in Adelaide. It was another Independent release. Again we launched it in the major cities and hit the road again for another year or so touring it.

In 2000 we Independently released our 3rd album "Sink or Swim" recorded in Melbourne, and our 4th album in 2002 UP ALL NIGHT, recorded in Los Angeles and Melbourne (Aust) Again……..we launched it and hit the road again and have spent ever since touring with it.

We seem to put out an album every two years. It's not planned, It just happens that way.

Boo . . . Boo is my favorite hamster . . .

He's a miniature Giant Space Hamster, but we've been all through this before . . .

Hmmm - are you Boo?

I ain't no rodent, heaven forefend . . .

Viconia: "So tell me Minsc, do the tatoos on your face have tribal significance, or did some nursey school get ahold of you with the blue finger paint?"

Minsc: "I do not like your tone, dark elf, my face is the face the ladies love! Boo loves Minsc's face, too, don't you Boo? Yes, yes . . ."

Sound of small rodent squeaking . . .

Oh dear.....

<whispers> thats a cute animal ...

<nods>

Oh god! I am bored again. I can't find any threads here I am excited by. I oughta go out, but I am a little wasted from last night...sigh.....I wanna be amused!

I am reduced to eating yoghurt covered raspberry bullets - what kind of future is there in that?

Yep. That's pretty grim alright.

Please send some of the bullets over, and I'll prepare an answer!
