by the seat of my pants
 

I might be able;
I might be able to please;
You should ask yourself.

I have been pleasing myself for far too long...
if you had been listening..

A slippery tongue
is better than being dumb,
so don't talk to me.

1-2-2-0=-3

However would you know if I was?

It doesn't amount
to talking, what we're doing.
Does it? Knock it off.

1+2+2+0=5

knock three times on the ceiling...

You dirty rat.

And twice on my pipe
when you wanna be alone.
(That'll be enough.)

The quality of mercy is not strained.

Warm-up exercises are fun.

They droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven.

I shall climb your stairway to heaven.

Didn't you mean "ride"?
I might be asking for it
only 'cuz I want it.

I'm at your command
hand in hand we will demand:
most satisfaction.

I cannot command:
I can request with respect.
I get it or not.

You got me babe.

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

While there is some difference of opinion depending on intepretation of where a river actually starts, I would say the Nile River is the longest river in the world at 6,650 km (4,135 miles)

Good stuff..Ella Fitzgerald..

The Longest Thread and its inhabitants, are most awesome also.

god I love Ella, I was so lucky to hear her sing live a couple times.

I have not heard him live, but I crank up my hi-fi audio to hear Paul Robeson sing his river songs, Deep River and The Four Rivers and Sleepy River and Song of the Volga Boatmen and canoe song and congo lullaby and Swanee River and River stay 'way from my door and my two favorite Shenandoah and Ol' Man River.

Life.

What's that, jewels?


The world's longest moustache? In Ahmedabad, India lives a man who has not cut his moustache for over 22 years. Badamsinh Juwansinh Gurjar had his moustache measured at 12 1/2 feet in 2004 giving him the honor of having the world's longest moustache ...unless you guys know a longer one.

His pic made me kinda queasy. I prefer this one.

you're right, kinda like those extreme-long fingernail pics ...yikes! shivers up my spine!

^ I bet that guy is Santa in disguise.

I'm sure Tophat would know this, but who else?


What was the world's longest animal? The world's longest animal ever found was a Lineus Longissimus which washed upon the shore of Scotland in the late 1800's (keep your knees together tight if you're wearing kilts!). Better known as the Ribbon Worm, it measure 180 feet in length, beating out the longest Dinosaur and the Blue Whale for the title. That worm would last me a whole fishing season.

Nice palindrome Sir Badnick...

Here's the longest dog in the world.

Hot dog, that is.

thanks, ring. I was so into longestness that I missed noticing that.

^ I hearby christen (or we can have a brit mila or bris, if we prefer) that dog "Halx" since I think he would acknowledge that connection if he was here.


Where is the world's longest boardwalk?

Not only is it the world's longest boardwalk, it's also America's first boardwalk and considered the world's most famous boardwalk. The world's longest boardwalk opened on June 26 1870 in Atlantic City, New Jersey and currently runs 4 1/2 miles in length. I have walked it many times.

I must wax nostalgic for a moment...
My dad took us to long island off the coast of Jersey every summer..

Surf City... Barnegat Bay...

I remember the old rollercoaster at Atlantic City...sheesh..
musta been 1966 and a bit later after that...

My parents lost my sister and me, in the salt-water taffy store with all the mirrors.

I dunno but the best have to be in JERSEY!

Why are men so obsessed with biggest and longest? http://www.scuba2000.com/forum/image...cratchhead.gif

Must be their competitive nature.

Testosterone is a bitch.

She may very well be, but ring used to go to the places my parents took my bro and I. I may have seen her on the boardwalk.

That would not surprise me in the least...TFP...

Is dripping with magic.

Hey, did you perchance go to Steel Pier and dance around Ed Hurst's dance show? Not to mention the diving horse! This was pre-hippie era for me back before 1965.

As if size didn't matter! What is the longest pier in the world?

In Essex, England the Southend-on-Sea pier opened in 1889, extended in 1898, 1908 and finally in 1927 bring the pier to a record length of 2,158 meters or 1.34 miles.

I have a link to the longest story..

beside my rambling...of course..

that's very long of you, ring.


Who was the world's longest woman? Trijntje Cornelisdochter Keever was born in Holland in 1616 and became the world's tallest recorded woman.

At age 9 she broke through the two meter mark and just before her death at age 17 she topped out at 2.54 meters or 8 feet 4 inches.

Okay..the longing and pining retunes...Oy Vey!

I long for some momentary relief in the form of sleep..

bye for now...

1+2+2+3 = 8

Greetings..Shiny Happy People Having Fun.

I am so relieved...
