No, I didn't ask you to tell me that, I asked whether anyone wants to hear the story about the capon!

FFS!

This could be a running gag if it were funny.

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:32

It isn't a joke. I'm asking you whether you want to hear the story about the capon.

Furriner, I'm disappointed that you don't get the reference.

by lardbucket Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:41

You do get full marques for being an annoying prat.

Could you leae it alone for a hundred years or so?

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:42

Well googled.

by lardbucket Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:43

Only LLL reads.

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:46

Well you didn't say anything until I mentioned there was a reference to 'get'.

Which part of the book does it happen in then? No googling. Answer now, now, now!

by lardbucket Tue 11 Dec 2007, 20:51

a reference to 'get'??

what does that mean?

I hated the book. I remembered where I'd read it when you brought furriner into the discussion.

I think it's time you stopped playing with your little cock, LLL.

by mynah Tue 11 Dec 2007, 21:10

Al Capon?

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 11 Dec 2007, 21:11

That's quite a large cock actually. Some even say it's too big.

Not only did I not get the reference, I had to twice read wot lardbucket wrote (marque/hundred etc) to get it. cyclops

Don't worry, furry, you can always re-read the purple patches in Hopkins . . .

I eventually got it up and working shortly before midnight. (The tree, that is.) Needed something for the tip, though, so I added the cock this morning. Here it is:

They look better lop-sided. Distracts one from the usual shambles of the surroundings.

This is what quoting out of context can get you. Work hard enough and you can do it too.

No Chrimbo decor up at mine yet, which is a bit strange considering I live with a couple of gaylords and a boring gummer who has nothing better to do than put the decorations up. Maybe we should all revise that whole 'festive' santa

thing...

Here you go tac:

AS kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves—goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I like the 2rd stanza better:

The line with " the just man justices" is particularly good.

Jeez you must be an unforgiving character. Very Happy

Me, I really like the line 'crying what I do is me, for that I came'.

Funny, furry, but someone else made just that point about me yesterday . . . .
