Thank you.

And Lisa:
Does "lost puppy"-look mean anything to you?

No :confused:

That's good; I don't look like that at all when I cry, since I don't cry.
 
  • #39
Oh, Patty, we need to know your show size.
 
  • #40
LOL.

My show size? I've been in the cast of several community productions. The smallest had seven of us; the largest, fifty. So on average my show size is about 29.

And to my friendly Canadian neighbors, I'm really, really, *really* sorry we've been such bad neighbors lately.

And thank you for Colin Machrie. He's such a sweetie.

What's that, you're typing with mittens on? :smile:

Oh dear. We aren't approaching the shoe event horizon, are we? (takes several hesitating steps away from the keyboard...)

Yes,you don't cry and that's why I said you'd look better!
 
  • #46
Just to clear up, Lisa:
I thought you originally said something like "You'd better look better when you cry", and that's what I tried to form some response to.

I wish they were mittens. :frown:

So, who wants kittens?

Yeah, good point. Welcome!



Evo said:

Wait, you want to turn your pets into gloves? There's something very, urm, Cruella D'Evil going on here. I don't like you any more!

Evo said:

Oh, I get it. You want to remove the fur for your own dastardly plot, and sell the corpses on as meat!

A POEM:
A kitten in a mitten
Nicy and comfy, but rather pomfy.

Wow, and the thread started out so well. Who'da thunk it would turn out like this?

Oh, right. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

It did stay on topic longer than usual. :redface:

Pattylou...still waiting for that shoe size.

No no no no, there's a very good reason for her question. *Whispers to PattyLou* Just say size 8.[/size]

Relative to the length of its creative germination period, it was a damn GOOD poem!
 
  • #54
LOL.

You can call me Patty, everyone, though I don't mind Pattylou. If I had thought to call myself "The Patty" (or even "The Party," as that is an easy typo from The Patty and goofy enough to be fun if not accurate) I would have.

Hmmm... I am guessing my shoe size depends on what country I'm from. I'll have to google to find a suitably obscure response. Though I've alreay amply demostrated my Yankihood.

While I'm googling, Evo, I have a question for you and anyone else here. Would you drink a beverage made primarily from squeezed lemons?

My shoe size is between 5 and 248. For the present I'll go with 36, but I won't tell you which country that is.

It has to do with an odd fact that surfaced in another thread a while back. You must answer honestly.

Not primarily as in volume but as one of a few ingredients, yes.

Oh dear. Now I need to find a search engine on this forum.

Ooh, creative germination period. You should put that in a poem. :approve: Try a limerick.
There once was a creative germination period... Or maybe an ode to the creative germination period.
 
  • #59
Well, they were the first words that came to my head?

I'll work on that limerick, though..

It's in the top menu. I'm curious about this too.
