Off to pace, which sounds like off the pace, which is me with my steam-powered computer. A wise man knows his own father, what the hell does that mean?
uh oh. I'm really confused now. Who's next?
Mean saying, implying something rather shameful about man's mother I suppose. Did you know both your grandfathers?
next means Clary and McTag have cable connections. Raggedy and Letty have dial-up.
(wise is the man who knows his own father is a West Virginny saying.
)
Grandfathers remind me of clocks. And Letty's correct, it's cable vs. dial-up and the USA vs. England today.
Today is almost over. Only just more than 3 hours here.
Here is the place to be. "and leaves the world in darkness and to me...."
Me and my shadow have not a soul to tell our troubles to today. But this evening, I'll unload them on my daughter.
Here you see the unusual phenomenon of an Englishwoman who chooses quite voluntarily to play wordgames on the internet rather than to watch Tim Henman at Wimbledon. Henmania, another manifestation of English eccentricity.
Daughters and sons are repositories of their parents' woes. Eccentricity in the British shows itself in wearing huge dark coats and hats on sunny days, and wanting to watch Him Tenman play tennis.
Whoops missed by 2. The Henman homeward plods his weary way.
Daughters of the American Revolution, what's that all about?
About uppity folks who show they go way back. The FFV's are easier to please.
Please explain what FFVs are! Acronyms can fool us all.
Please tell me what an FFV is, Letty. Let's see, furry featured vultures?
Vultures are more like acronyms. FFV's(initials) are first families of Virginia, while Daughters of the American Revolution, are wimmins whose folks go back to The Declaration of Independence(sorta)
Sorta similar, wouldn't ya say? I wonder if my forebear would count as an FFV, he was George Yeardley or Eardley, first governor.
Governor? Impressive. DAR's are from all over. FFV's are strictly from the land of the UVA Cavaliers.
Volunteers in the Union of Virginia Army? Lord, it's one acronym after another - you'll explain SUV next.
Next up, a ban on SUVs in Paris, and penal taxation on them in Britain. But the Land of the Free loves its SUVs; freeze would have fitted better.
Better the penalty taxation, at least someone else benefits. In Hong Kong, more powerful cars were taxed hugely but people still wanted them; which is just one reason why income tax was always 15%.
