I renamed Coors Boulevard 'Weavers' Way' today. Speed limit is 45 mph. There are always these zits springers doing 65-70 braiding the lanes.

Reminds me of an article I saw today about an australian ad, which shows speeding 'boys' in cars being given the wiggly little finger.

wiggly little finger? In my family that translates "When you don't care to send the very best" (play on hallmark ads).

wiggly little finger is meant to indicate male limpness - all show and no performance - except in cars?

Well - we've all known it - big showy, powerful car - small brain!

edgar, yitwail, and I played a song for George on the radio thread, but If one of you Bostonites want to start a thread for him, please do.

To read in another thread that Richard Burton, the Welsh actor, ex-husband of Elizabeth Taylor, openly admitted in his biography to fooling around with men.

Gosh, he was attractive to all & sundry then, eoe?
Come to think of it, that's not so surprising. He was a splendid looking specimen in his prime! Beautiful, seductive accent, too. Very Happy

Today I'm absolutely astonished about how many tissues I've been through in the past 24 hours. <honk!> I'm wondering how many trees died for this. <achooooooooooo!>
And how one small person can produce so much (pardon me) ... snot! It's a mystery. Confused

I think you'll have to wait for Steve to do that, eoe. I looked, but couldn't find one. (Wrong country, I guess.) I thought she just looked a "no frills"/un-fancy sort of person. (If that's who he was actually talking about.)

I was watching television as I ate breakfast this morning.

The (giggly) roving reporter was in some place just inland of Townsville, in Queensland. She was talking to some sheep dog owner, with the oddest trick.

3 black ducks, dais to be all females, came out, all dressed in shocking pink evening-type gowns and strutted around. Then the sheep dog rounded them up and moved them around, just like sheep.

Then, they went away and 3 other black ducks, said the be the males, came out, dressed as cowboys in drizabones, etc., with wings out, and they wandered about and were moved around by the sheep dog.

It was just the most bizarre thing I've seen on television. I was rivetted.

Apparently, he takes this little circus to nursing and convalescent homes to fascinate the patients.

I wonder what on earth prompted him to (1) dress ducks as human and strut them around, and (2) teach his sheep dog to round them up?

I have no answer for you, margo, but it looks like this fellow has a helluva lotta time on his hands! But so long as all of them are happy! That's the main thing .....
