Queen Elizabeth I. What a remarkable woman!! (That is, if people count.)
Hebba, the Jaguar is right up there with the very best.
People always count!
I've had to do a bit of driving today and recognized that Eric Clapton may be the single most important contribution. Good grief! Does anybody else have the Cream of Clapton CD? My, everything good on there except for that stupid song, Blues Power.
okay, i get it, you're putting clapton over the beatles. okay. go ahead. no problems with that. and how 'bout chas chandler? hendrix may have been born in tacoma, but chas made him british.
what's going on, anyway? page after page of the same thing? had i a mind, i'd have half of one to digress.
("all right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the romans ever done for us?"
"brought peace?"
"peace!?!? shut up!")
Clapton? Beatles? What about Eric Burdon and the Animals, or the Stones???
Elgar? The Proms? Alfred Brendel?
And the cuckoo clock.
No, no,that was the Swiss. What was I thinking?
Hebba be a cuckold?
Where be the horns!!!???
Somer be icumin in,
Lud sing cuckold!
Why do you think I cropped my avatar D?
Hey, Joanne, I like hubba hubba hebba--has a nice rhythm to it.
Hubba, hubba.
Ok Deb, go on about summer as I sit here looking out at barren trees and blowing leaves.
heehee!
The north wind is tossing the leaves,
The red dust is over the town,
The sparrows are under the eaves,
And the grass in the meadow is brown -
As we lift up our voices and sing,
To the christ child the heavenly king!
Tree ferns in green gullies sway,
The cool stream flows silently by,
The joy-bells are tossing their heads,
And the chimes are adrift in the sky,
As we lift up our voices and sing,
To the christ child, the heavenly king!
An Australian christmas carol!!!!
Cuckolds have horns? Because that's what they call cuckolds in Potuguese: "horned".
yep, cuckolds are hornéd. many sly references re such in, you know, old literature and stuff.
Deb, that's lovely. The treeferns and the Christ, together at last. Are joybells something other than... well bells joyfully pealing?
Craven, young thing, yes. Cuckolds are given horns, but I don't know the reason. How would you look THAT up on Google???
And to get back to Mr. Clapton... who having heard the aforementioned CD can say they've not been unmoved??? It is (despite the obvious flaw of Blues Power) the single best collection of English rock and roll... available in one neat package.
To wear the horns. To be a cuckold. In the rutting season, the stags associate with the fawns: one stag selects several females, who constitute his harem, till another stag comes who contests the prize with him. If beaten in the combat, he yields up his barem to the victor, and is without associates till he finds a stag feebler than himself, who is made to submit to similar terms. As stags are horned, and made cuckolds of by their fellows, the application is palpable. (See CORNETTE.)
