indeed................and if you don't, it's time to get the septic tank pumped... makes one wonder how close we are to the arrival of that particular cosmic tanker, no?

Right, well my head goes blank when someone says 'mumble something million years ago' 'cos I've got nothing to hang that on. But the other day I was listening to an interview of Louise Leekie (grand-daughter of Louis Leekie and also an anthropologist) and she had a neat analogy: Take a 400 sheet roll of toilet paper and roll it out flat. If the other end is when the Big Bang was, and this end is 2017, then the dinosaurs got started about 7 sheets back, and ended about 2 sheets back. And homo sapiens? We're the very last 0.6mm of the roll. But with the first signs of what we call 'civilisation' emerging just 0.017mm ago. Well, I liked it...not that I have the faintest clue what to 'do' with it..........(the analogy, that is, I've worked the paper out)........

ooo......I once had a milker on the bonnet like that....although unfortunately for her I was travelling at 100km/hr when we met....while fortunately for me it was a Holden and the bonnet folded upwards across the middle, preventing her from joining me in the front. For weeks after I wondered how the heck it could have happened...until the next time I was out on a dark rainy night and I realised it could happen exactly the same, any time daisy's mates decided to wander into the road...

Nah...it's actually one of those training exercises...like they make loud noises and wave umbrellas in front of police horses: they make 'em keep cycling past...erm...various diversions.... to harden 'em to the realities of active duty...so to speak.....

Yep, 40yrs ago I was fined as a passenger in NSW for having my elbow out the window of a moving vehicle...bizarre....

While it was clear that some cruel prankster had, once again, adjusted Alberto's saddle beyond the reach of his little legs, the enquiry was unable to establish the reason for his sudden uncontrolled u-turn, or just how the green paint from the lamp-post came to be imprinted on the back of his helmet....

There's definitely a risk of that if you do u-turns.........fortunately, i always as a little backwards..........)

Hm....at this point I am determinedly travelling back in time, so I might even run into him.

Nono I wasn't criticising the spelling...I was just recycling an old pun. Do we even have avant garde any more???

I remember reading that the problem with the avant garde is that, too often, they avant garde no talent....

Because I was trying to highlight that a lively tune had been turned into a dirge. If you really wish, I will go looking for older recordings...it's not difficult.

And for what it's worth, it alludes to the American Civil war...hence the blue and the grey in the lyrics....not WW1.

"Vlad, always looking for the next photo opportunity, had promised Don the best ride he'd ever have...and choice of months in next year's calendar. Don had been thinking how generous his new friend was...but now he wasn't quite so sure......" Vladimir Putin's inspirational 2017 calendar - CNN.com

Pft! He took an old bluegrass standard, and turned it into the most pedestrian, plodding, painful, maudlin grunge. Once it sounded more like this: which many people won't like either...but at least it tries to pick up it's feet???

"Yes, well, if you'd have kept up with the laundry, we could catch the bus like everyone else....."

That's just part of the front....along with the Dusty Springfield eye makeup...(

Pandas make really serious Drop Bears...she carry her pitchfork?

That's "stick it where the sun doesn't shine"....mebbe Phil lost 'is stick???

....and was the nation then divided as to whether this was an act of potentially homicidal madness???

But was he going for a sausage at Bunnings????

And here is the man in action: Anti-Aircraft Dumpling Cannon

It gets better. According to the only reference I can find, see here 'Dumpling War Disk Issued': Billboard he won. And someone wrote a song about it.............

There was a gentleman in Germany, unappreciative of the jets coming and going over his back garden. So he had built a large crossbow like device in his back garden. And was firing..... dumplings. It's true!!! There was a pic, at the time, in the press of him. In the back garden, an F4 phantom passing low over, and a dumpling rising towards it. If only I could find the pic here now..............
