Dlowan may be thinking of other vessels. Vessel? I refuse to look it up.
Rockhead tends to be straightforward, re transparency. (uh, that is not a dig).

Hoses are transparent - if you cut them short and look from one end to the other.

I have just the right contribution for this thread. Last weekend, me and friends went camping to NH. Dolly Copp campground. There is a "legend" surrounding Dolly Copp and her husband Hayes. It's the dullest, blandest legend ever.

"The Legend." Hayes Copp is said to have hewed a home for himself out of the "forest primeval." That done, he tidied up and went to Jackson NH to find himself a wife - Dolly. After 50 years, Dolly declared that "Hayes is well enough" and left him. Of this the placard says, "The tale entertained us for years." Who "us" was, and how long "years" lasted is not known.

"The facts tell another story." Yes, and one almost as boring as the legend to which it gives the lie. Turns out Hayes did not hack a homestead out of the forest by himself but rather settled the glen with a handful of other families. Census data blah blah. The placard ends with this: "Early restoration efforts include this reproduction cellar hole marked by granite slabs. The actual house site was located to the west."

"Mischievous" rock formation known as "Dolly's Imp".... According to the legend of Dolly Copp, she used to point it out to all sorts of travelers that stopped at her homestead and that's how it got its name. Did I say the legend of Dolly Copp is a bit of a disappointment?

Stop trying to be interesting. We see right through that facade.

I'd like to tell you 100 words about each of the people at my latest family reunion, but I honestly didn't recognize any of them except my brother. And we barely speak. These relatives don't live in the same places, we've forgotten how we're related, and we wouldn't recognize each other if we passed on the street. I didn't talk to a single person there who I'd care to spend another 10 minutes with.

I could tell you about the food, though.

Apparently there was a big e-mail discussion beforehand, and it was finally decided to serve KFC. They ordered fried chicken (regular, of course), mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, baked beans and cole slaw.

Some of the older ladies brought desserts. Sheet cakes, cupcakes, and fruit salad with Cool Whip.

I wasn't sure what was more forgettable...the food or the company.

Dolly Copp announced at her 50th wedding anniversary: "Hayes Copp is well enough, but 50 years is too much with any man," and she moved in with her daughter where she lived the rest of her life.

That's an incredible story Dags. Do you think Dolly could have stood fifty years with Eva's brother?

Dag has a great thing going with that Dolly Copp thing. That stuff is actually painful. That first post was so excruciatingly boring that from that point on my eyes involuntarily move on to the next post as soon as I see the words, "Dolly Copp." A great example of the marketing process known as branding, as it is called in the advertising world, only with the reverse desired effect being achieved. Excellent strategy.

Here is a chart that shows exactly what I mean.

Dolly Copp is an anagram for cold loppy, a Slovakian delicacy. Dagmaraka fabricated the entire story.

But, wait, I'm emphasizing with Eva. I suppose that is too energetic.
