WOT!?

A lot of the messages on this site are ungrammatical! Apparently they are default messages - which means they aren't de fault of any of our fearless leaders, which is a great relief, frankly.

Had my family over for lunch yesterday. The first time since I moved in to the house that I've had everyone there. Of course the whole day was spent with 5 adults catering to every whim of one little bundle of joy.

Haha - Just saw the ending line of the poll. But I voted for #4 at the beginning. Gleeful and frolicsome, that's I. (or me, if you'd rather)

who said we aren't grammatical???

But Deb, isn't it impolite not to remove one's hat in the presence of a lady? Manners are sooo important, don't you think? :wink:

LOL!!!!! Perhaps we ought to think of them as more like yarmulkas (spelling?)!

I was wondering, as I pattered about preparing my home for the cleaner tomorrow - which somehow included taking the rubbish out, watering the plants on the balcony and a number of other seemingly unrelated activities - and occasionally popping in to see what was happening in here - I wondered, as I said, about how frequently there are large numbers of people on line here - but very few posts.

We really are, I guess, a forum of some mighty long posts, which, the evidence suggests, are actually read and thoughtfully considered by people.

So it goes.....

Hats!!! Love hats!! I've got dozens of them. I hardly ever wear them here, (on A2K) though. They just don't go with the rest of what I'm wearing!

A friend rang last night and asked if I thought he was running a millinery exchange. I left my black cap in his car last time I was there - it's my hooning cap, for when we drive with the roof down (which we only do in his car - my car doesn't have such niceties!). A special purpose cap! But then, I left my ripper new straw sunhat there instead - very wide brim and a blue spotted bow. He assures me it's just not his style.

In all the organising for Christmas, I forgot to take along any of my 6 or so Christmas hats! Sad

Pueo - you can leave your hat on! But, did you go to the inauguration?

Even though I didn't mark it on the poll, I did do silly hats this year... silly enough that it was truly embarassing once I went to the mirror to freshen up and saw just HOW SILLY it looked on me.

Next year, I'm bringing my OWN silly hat!

Margo -- What is this hooning activity?

In our language, hooning is carrying on like a galah!

This can be done in various ways, and I'm not sure what is the US equivalent - we need Merry Andrew to provide a translation.

Specifically, we apply it to us middle aged types driving down the highway in the convertible, with the roof down, and our hooning caps on! All very respectable and discreet really - a very low key hoon! You need a hat to provide some sun protection, but can't weat a big brim! I've never known anyone who had a convertible before, so this is a fun experience for us.

Another example would be Wilso, racing around the Minnamurra bends on his motorbike.

Oboy. Hooning sounds as though it would fulfill my New Year's Resolutions... (1) Have More Fun and (2) Dress More Flamboyantly.

Can hardly wait to try hooning. Too bad I sold my convertible, but both my cars have sunroofs... that's almost as good. OK. about 1/4 as good, but... much more practical.

It seems it is also illegal:

and,

but I still can't find a definition! You Aussies are certainly "Wild Ones".

Hooning is naughty, Margo - it is doing doughnuts at 3.00am - it is mooning like a veritable De Kere - it is yelling at peaceful folk from the car - it is getting drunk and throwing up - you are certainly doing something in your convertible, but, unless it involves laying rubber and annoying the locals, it is not hooning!

A VALENTINE'S Digression? Pulleeeeeeeeeeeze - I don't DO saints! Even demoted ones!
