Oh mendacious, putative possessor of a burgundy fez!
Never more, never more, shall we swallow what you sez!
Yeah, what the wabbit said . . .
goes double fer me ! ! !
Hmmmmm - I think 'tis time for a new digression - i shall hope for inspiration as I work today.....
Huh??? ANd here I was all thrilled and everything... sure that I'd found a... whachacallit... kindred spirit.
Man. You canNOT trust anyone.
Especially someone in a fez. Or not.
sigh
Jes, we shall march forth on March 4th to the sound of a different drummer, or maybe ride in a Hummer 'cause walkin's such a bummer. And we'll march right into Summer. (Summer loves and some are not.)
Well, hell, this IS a digression thread, ain't it?
Piffka, tell the truth. Does that avatar look like me or not? 'Cause if you say it doesn't, I'll change it.
It's not nearly as handsome as you are, MA ( I have seen the pix and I can sing out about yer beautiosity ) - i think you're best off sticking with Richard Farnsworth, or you could run into some trouble on the homefront, what with all the groupie-wanna-be's attending at the door.
Have a Milano. Or a clementine.
Good night, Mrs. Calabash.
Oh, I just noticed that you were speaking to me! Hello. Wake up!!! OK, I'm here!!!
What Beth said... well, I don't get the reference to Farnsworth, Sigh. Is that who the avatar is??
Andy, I think you've found a very similar image to what you look like. Your face is not quite so broad and it looks like the avatar has glasses on, which I don't remember you having. Of course, I never saw you with a cowboy hat on, either.
Remember, I described you as tall, gray and handsome! I think that the avatar picks that up and also because of the hat... showing good ol' 'merican spirit and the half-turned pose... showing action... it is prolly 'bout the best avatar you can get. Plus I like it.
Please keep it!!!
Yr fren, Piff
Tall, grey and handsome??? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Pix?????
Well can´t we PRETEND that I have a fez?I do so wish that I had one..Wasn´t trying to pull wool over anyones eyes-honestly.
Of course we can...Actually I sort of thought that deep brow on your avatar WAS a fez! Burgundy? We're going for a burgundy fez???
OK, I had an URL, I had an image... why.... why.... why???
I'll go read up on this!
PIFFKA DAHHHHHLING!!!
A FEZ for ME????How delightful!!!You have made my day!!Burgundy too..I can see myself under it.
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
Just checked a v. interesting website:
http://www.arraatib.com/tarbooshstory.htm
Anyway, here's the kind of fez (not a taraba) that we had... straight from Maroc
Rats. well, it was there. Possibly a gif file won't work.
And, yes, a lovely, lovely fez for you. You look Mahvelous. Brilliant.
(must admit, they did describe it as maroon, but what did they know?)
Ahh, now all is right with the world.
Well, nearly.
Thankee fer them kind words, Piffka. And you, too, ehBeth who comments on my manly charms sight unseen. To all those of you who have never met me, however, let me assure you that I AM NOT GREY! (Well, my hair and mustache are but I, myself, am well-tanned.)
True, and I vouch for that. I did not mean to imply a gray or grey-ness of spirit or skin! Simply a dignified & manly graying of hair.
That WAS a very interesting site.I loved the "Never ever never.." section.These people take their headware very seriously.Must remember never to tilt my fez.
