CUNNING LINGUISTS

If you sock a smiling Gypsy in the kisser, are you striking a happy medium ?

Gypsy Boots liked roots and shoots, but gypsum flutes make terrible toots.

My niece came up with a good one: "No trust passing!"

There is a street here called North West South Dakota. It's an ugly street but I always wanted to live there and change my name to East.

Little kids come up with great words and phrases. One of mine used to call the ceiling the "skyling."

My aunt was 13 when is was born, so i was just a little kid when she went away to college. About the same time, i discovered that wonderful food, cottage cheese. Only, i called it "college cheese." Finally, one of the grown ups got exasperated, and told me it was cottage cheese. So i asked what a cottage is. She told me it means a little house, like the cottage my grandfather had in the woods that we went to in the summer. I had never really understood what college meant, but now i was really confused. I didn't understand why my aunt had gone off to live in a little house in the woods. I mean, why? Nobody was mad at her, or anything like that.

In the East Bay, California, there's a stretch of highway where 580E and 80W run parallel to each other. At one point, they even merge, which means one can find oneself in the unlikely situation of travelling east on one highway and west on another at the same time. Geographically, both highways are actually pointing north.

Oh, sure, Shapeless, that's plain enough to me....

Yeah, they got a stretch like that when you're on 480 west and 271 south at the same time outside Cleveland. You gotta watch out, though, if you screw up, you could be headed for Toledo long before you wake up to the fact.

And that's a really ugly thought . . .

I wish I had something to say, but I don't.

I find it hilarious that the advertising program is highlighting "dsl" in your post--assuming that it was just random crap . . .

Oh, I disabled all that stuff...so annoying!

stuh, how? for god's sake, man, tell me how!!!!!!

It's either AdBlock or NoScript extensions for Firefox

I was subletting an apartment in Greewich Village. I was casually walking to the subway. I made the mistake of looking up at the street sign. I was at the corner of Waverly Place and Waverly Place. I got so confused that I had to backtrack to the apartment and start over.

Sorry I couldn't come up with what this thread is asking for, Set. I'm too tired to be clever. Maybe later. Of course maybe fatigue has nothing to do with it. Could be I wouldn't be clever even after 8 hours of sound sleep. But I'm willing to give it a try.

Later, kid.

I know exactly what you mean, Raboida . . . the same thing happened to me when i thought i was at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk, but when i looked up a second time, i was horrified to find myself at the corner of Don't Walk and Don't Walk. Like you, i gave it up, 'though i just went home and stayed there.

How can I get it straight, without losing the north?

I 95. How old Eubie, Blake?
