HAPPY AS A CLAM

Water devoid of things upon which a clam may browse. As in that definition of arid which states it means: "2: lacking vitality or spirit; lifeless"

I admit it is a metaphorical stretch - but I think you might have got there, with a little effort - :wink:

Next time I shall say desiccated water.in hopes of creating further confusion amongst my friends....

Is arid water fine as frogs hair?

From what, exactly, are you asserting it has degenerated?

Goodnight Rog

But, Roger, tell me - have I adequately delineated the circumstances which might render a clam less than gruntled for you?

I do not know, Dark Bunny, for I have never clapped eyes upon the famed Hairy Frog.

All frogs have hair--which is why it is the very acme, the very archetype of fineness . . . i grow less and less convinced of the erudition of mere wabbits . . .

Oh, yah boo woof to you...and just who are you calling mere, dogbreath?

I'd watch my tone, if i were you, lettuce brains . . .

I fart in the general direction of your grandmother, English peeeeg!

(stocking up on barnyard animal ammunition)

English ? English ! ! !

Of course you know, this means war.

If you see Irish Wolfhounds converging on your flat, start sayin' yer prayers, lapine blackguard . . .

I charm wolfhounds on a daily basis, ball-licker.

Now this is degeneration!

Ellen Degeneration?

There ain't no ell in degeneration...

'ell is other people--not Ellen.

Grampa always said that the difference between an 'almond' and an 'ammond' was that the former was on the tree whereas the latter had fallen to the ground and got the 'ell knocked out of it. He took me to the almond tree in the backyard and showed me the ammonds on the ground to illustrate this.

He also said the distinction between 'naked' and 'nekkid' was in intentions, but never demonstrated the difference in my presence, though he did usually offer visitors who didn't drink with him a slap in the belly with a wet fish.
