in the 1400's a law was set forth in england that a man was allowed to beat
his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. hence we have "the rule of thumb..." |
The use of "Raspberry" for the bilabial fricative (or Bronx Cheer, if you prefer) comes from Cockney rhyming slang, in which the first word of a two word phrase stands in for a word that rhymes with the second word of the phrase. In this case, Rasberry Tarts rhymes with Farts.

many years ago in scotland , a new game was invented. it was ruled
"gentlemen only...ladies forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the english language.... |
Golf is for unlawful carnal knowledge.

So am I. So are you. Why do you think, the dalai lama, laughs so much? We are all the genius of ourselves. Then it's scarf three hot-dogs..two beers..and skinny dip, and dive through the inner-tube. (watchout for that pokey valve thingie) then as we lay in bed after a full day, the thoughts and impressions play most perfectly disjointed. I tried to talk to my third grade teacher about these thought patterns. I could sense her skin quivering. She yearned to connect with me wholly. I understand the constrictures she was bound by..in 1966. When she looked into my eyes, and I looked into hers, the understanding bound us forever. We smiled a knowing guileless rapture. FUCKING....umm also. oh.. junk food too, ..actually my favorite is to eat a tablespoon of butter, S L O W L Y... ya still readin' this? hey..that's tepid shit. |

This life is not for complaining, but for satisfaction. (can a truth be pulled from a fortune cookie? methinks yes)

Life is waaaaaaay too friggin short, every moment should be savored. You learn this when you learn that your grandmother died from throat and mouth cancer at 41, grandfather died from a heart attack at 56, four aunts died from breast or ovarian cancer, uncle died from liver cancer at 58, and mother is in her third year of ovarian cancer, and is predicted to have maybe another two years. Oh, and all this is on your mother's side of the family, whom you take after so much, it's uncanny.

tru dat uncle phil
First time I ever ate, or even heard of, S.O.S. was when I was 11yo in the Boy Scouts and we had a "camping trip" to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, we slept in a barracks and had our own personal Marine Corp. drill instructor sergeant take care of us, we ate in the mess hall and that's where I tasted S.O.S. and almost gaged ....though now I love it. And that's the truth. |

If you rub pennies on your head, you'll have zinc and copper in your hair and according to uncle phil, that will make you intelligent. When I was born, my parents said "Oh, oh, trouble. Get some nickels." so they called me Nickeless but to fool the public I use Nicholas.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. --'Tis true; you must have felt it, too 'Twas none other than Lord Tennyson Who uttered such words, so true. |

My dog's organic biscuit treats taste pretty good,
think I'll have another one. |
?...
On the other hand, I also recently discovered a new treat that I'm loving much. These are little olive tortas with a light sprinkling of sugar on top, also includes anise, a touch of roasted sesame seeds, not sure what else I can't read Spanish. They are very good with a cup of nice strong coffee. I bet a dog would like them, too, as well as ring. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...olivetorta.jpg |

it was the accepted practice in babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month
