How about a good looking babe? One of :mummy:'s cotillion of belly dancers!

My Lord: :notworthy: Me wonders who that 'Patrician' is! Figures! Now I'll have to give consideration to buying the book! Spending money is not one of my strong points. Only consideration, mind you. Haven't forgotten about the mushroom recipe. Basil, Earl of etc.,

Click on 'Tastes of Ancient Rome'. Might be of interest. Click on 'Archives', then 'Uncovering the Truth' for 12/18/06. http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate/episodes/2006/12

WW: Aside from your own, there are two 'comments'. Which one are you referring to? Has that Brit fog taken possession of your noodle? At my earliest opportunity, I will give your blog a full edit. Lord North,

Good grief! From, from, from! Should I give up? :mummy: & , my personal solecists!

Than, than, than! What's the point of going to school?

Yo, My Lord: :notworthy: Spanish Fly? Better than *iagr*, Cialis and Levitra? I wonder if my bride knows about arsenic! :stretcher: :sneaky2: :crutch:

I don't think that we think of ourselves as an empire. We certainly don't think of ourselves as the suzerain of Havana or the world. We simply have a proto-moron running the show now; and he has failed at all his masters have him instructed on. I don't think that any American wants to run the show anywhere

Poem works for me. For the rest, "Viva la revolution'!

Your Greekship: :notworthy: What is the latest on Crazy Calvin? Send him a Christmas present - a box of cockroaches. Maybe it will scare the stuffing out of him. Don't put it in the U.S. Mail. When the bailiffs come for you, tell them you were sending the rat a meal out of your generosity. Or, blame it on me or Don Giovanni of the Herbs.

Well that just wouldn't be cricket. There you go again! 'Cricket' - a little vermin! , in deed! Well, (I say), you're from Ratae.

Welcome to the World! Take a pill; take a nap.

Lovers of the English language might enjoy this..... There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election, and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver. We warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so...... Time to shut UP.....! Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

In deed, what have we here, indeed? Indeed, speaking for all U.S. citizens, we accept yer whatever, indeed. Will Prince Charlie be the exarch, in deed? But (indeed), let us address some blunders in the whatever be4 we get on wit it. (In deed!) 1. Now (indeed), you had better take yer advice and spell 'harmonise' with that 'zed' in it. 2. U.S., not US, indeed. 3. Indeed, pop off and get a punctuation guide. Try to use it, indeed. 4. Belgium is a wide spot on the road in upstate Noo Yok, in deed. 5. Crap? Indeed, my good man! 'Bloody'? Zounds! I say, in deed! 6. "...our"? Blimey! All y'all don't pronounce it "...oor", so why waste the ink, I say.? BTW, the 'u' was done away with because the U.S. had to bail you lot out of a couple of yer World Wars. Wat about dat useless 'H' y'all have burdened US wit? 7. I say! For a herd of people who eat provender and offal, yez av a a nerve to complain about American beer! 8. Wouldn't the national anthem be God Save The Kink? Wazn't The Mad German ruining affairs back when? I say! In deed! 9. Cahs? In deed, may dear felloe! If USians didn't buy European kaz, all y'all would be peddling rickshaws. Questions: 1. I say!, wil we av to say 'oot and aboot' for 'out and about' and learn what it meanz, (indeed), as Canadians must? 2. Wil we av to suk in air at every punctuation mahk as PEIers do? Uuuuuuuuughhh! 3. I say! Wil we hav to learn wot a wily-wonk and a bily-bonk iz? 4. Oh! I do say! Wil we av to learn what bangers and mash iz? Toad-in-the-hole? Hah? Bubble-n-squeak? Hah? Spotted Dick? Ay wot? 5. I say!, why must we drive on the rong side of de road? Ay wot? Uuuuuuuuuuughhhhhh! Tempt me. Capt. Black Adder, Ret'd.

How about Judge Crater and Amelia Earhardt? 20th century was a blunder!

Are you talking about the Columbia Lions?

To late! AoS beat you with the snow. Don't you have plows out there in the provinces?

Could you tell me what imperfect, perfect and present mean? This is 'English', but it should help for definitions. http://www.englishpage.com/index.html

Richard IV! It is also the day Edmund (Edna) also became Duke of Edinburg! Capt. Black Adder, Ret'd

Nov. 17th is the birthday of Vespasian. Valentinian died on that day and Gratian became emperor. http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/x/wxk1...endar/nov16.htm It is also 11 days (Nov 6) since St. Leonard's day. The day Richard IV was crowned king of England!

Back in the good old days, :hang:
