I recall a pleasant enough painting by Jean-Frederic Schall of "Louis XIV of France declaring his Love for Louise de la Vallière". Other than that Louis seemed like a big jerk.

Jetman, I believe you are correct, it is a post '07 Vette.

IMO chicken butts are just about the tastiest part of that bird. Fried skins might be second.

By butts, you mean tails?
One of my grandmas loved them.
I thought that was gross.

when many things seemed icky
but now craveable.

plus we're making this a bit longer

yes on the chicken butts aka "tails" though the chicken does poop next to it so I'd call it a butt. Juicy, tender, moist, just the right amount of fat and only one little line of backbone down the center so easy to eat....a bbq'd variety:

Words are not enough.

(my thoughts fail)

I wish there to be more personalities present here, for while we 3 (5) amigos seem to have gotten by pretty well and made history together, I wish to make new friends. (and slosh with a few absentee familiars.)

It's not good to have others fall into the abyss.

Recruitment party? What does the phrase 'snuffalopogus' (sp?) mean to you? Has the ambient air turned to crystal where you are yet?

words are not enough

I'm glad you posted that posting, Jetee. Please pardon me while I vent, a bit:

You know mercury -
It's shiny & weighty & it flows,
but it's still poison.

I don't know how to spell the Snuffle-thing, either, but to me it's just the big Sesame Street creature. We're headed to the single digits F tonight in Minneapolis, with considerable crystalline snow in the forecast for tomorrow.

hi Otto! So you made up that tilted little story just for this thread? Nice!

I believe tonight will be the first dip below freezing around here in the S.E. corner of PA, and going down to just barely below at 31F (-0.5C). If I go 1+ hr north that changes rapidly. We had a few flakes a week or so ago but it barely even hit the ground.

Seems like maybe the fall-off of participation here happened because we got to be longest on this site. Even I like rooting for an underdog sometimes and before we got ahead we were the hot prospect.

I can't bring myself to worry about it. I still have fun and if others don't come here we can venture to where they are. In fact, Jet, you seem to be pretty good at pointing us toward interesting things going on elsewhere, so thanks.

I am petty, though.

I originally meant to state (yesterday) that I have real ire (maybe just discontent-ment) towards the association threads. I like thought, and even if its nonsense, this thread ("sanctuary") requires thought in order to proceed, and so, I just really don't like the simple premise of posting a singular word. I didn't say anything, though, because I do realize I bring enough sadness and vent-age here, and I fell alseep early anywayss yesterday, and now I've caught up and eaten my dinner & breakfast this morning.

Why are the simplest things always so popular?
Footy (soccer), NASCAR, cats, vanilla, Camry, Snuggies (or... the "backwards robe") ... I don't want to get it.

I lost my cotton-weave glove today. I'm distressed.

Our constant struggle
against the monster word thread

Association,
on the other hand, to thought,
is necessary.

I have plenty of unmatched single gloves, though not as many as socks. Next time I see you we can match one up with yours.

Later I will look online for more information about it, but I'll give you friends a preview now so you don't have to wait the longest time to hear about this unique business plan:

A clever person has associated the tendency of crows to collect miscellaneous objects with a get rich scheme. He trained crows to come to his "crow collection boxes". He gives the crows a treat whenever they bring back something to the box. Over time, he makes coins available and gives special treats when the crows deposit coins into his collection boxes. Very soon, the crows are bringing back coins they find all over the city to his collection boxes. He hires more crows, young crows quickly learn from older crows, he puts out more collection boxes....getting rich faster than he can count the change. As you might know, crows are very intelligent and this guy appears to be almost as smart.

I know of the same scheme as once perpetrated through a capuchin, but this was on an entirely different continent (might have been an alternate reality as well).


Please continue the tale...

fyi: I still wince whenever I see WA on top billing again - I want to know what I was (un-)thinking when I bumped the ABC-version out of its dormant state. It's moderately more refined than Original WA, but not by much.

I did listen and it had an interesting beat. Trying to emulate the smart crows, I changed the translation to Hungarian and got a laugh....it sounds sort of like a Hungarian rapper..maybe with a German accent:

Back-tracking abit, and recalling that baseball intrumental piece I was searching for, as well as the song that Zooks was having trouble locating, I have come with two (possibly new) resources...

* Welcome to Shazam
* SoundHound Inc.

(now, to see if these work internally within my browser, or if one or the other needs a microphone connection to work properly.)

You could play the game,

or quit complaining.

There are some few who
enjoy ABC's presence;
I think that's enough.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Also, I bring your attention to the "views" statistics, currently 217,407 for us vs. 163,116 for them.

That gives you a better picture of how much more popular "we" are than those other unnamed entities of whom we shall not speak too often lest they believe themselves to be more important than us...I shall now stop posting for the moment lest I become overly longest. Say no more.

I'm saving it for later... unless I'm feinting my true interest towards a retort.
I like to provoke thought, and I also like gaining insight into the interests of others, so perhaps it shall not go away just because you wish it to:

In the mean, I'm not sure if I've exposed you pals to this site.
