The discussion revolves around playful banter regarding national identities, particularly the confusion surrounding being British or from New Zealand. Participants humorously explore their origins, with one claiming to be a "Mountain Man" and another identifying as a "zoobie," a term that appears to be an inside joke among them. The conversation shifts to the historical context of Mountain Men as trappers and explorers in the Rocky Mountains, leading to whimsical exchanges about their characteristics and romanticized lifestyles. As the dialogue continues, the participants share lighthearted anecdotes and engage in wordplay, including a humorous take on the term "incidentally." The tone remains jovial and nonsensical, with references to various animals and cultural quirks, ultimately creating an entertaining and informal atmosphere.

Could have been a fox pretending to be a zoobie?
There are a lot of foxes in San Diego. I frequently go down to the beach to oogle them.

Alas, fox-hunting is now banned here. [sniff] Still, there are more chicks around thanks to that.

Many chicks are foxes, and that is why zoobies volunteer to guard the hen house.

Daniel Webster once said:
"Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but in the mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men."


I haven't been there sense his nose kinda fell off :rolleyes:

Actually, he said it twice. Just no-one was listening the first time. Anyway, reminds me of a fertility clinic I once saw... Hung out a huuuuge baby. Didn't work cos everyone thought it was Buddha. They spent so long throwing out dancing, singing men in orange tunics that they couldn't run the service. Eventually they just turned it into a temple. Don't know what they did with the sperm bank.

Now I know what you're talkin' about.

It was his chin, fell off, not his nose. A relative sent me a newpaper clipping with a picher. I understand his chin had been coming loose for several decades and was being held on with steel cables. Some sort of big storm was the final straw.
