Yes, Mr. Burns and I discussed it (he had no objection). Yes, publicly posted. I think I was trying to make a point here, but I guess I'm wasting my time. I seem to do a lot of that lately. Irene Wilde

I'm still waiting for the DVD to come out on this one, but I did read an article, I think in the Guardian, where the writer tried this very American diet for a week, just one week, and it began to make him ill. He even cheated one day because his stomach couldn't stand the shock. And while the...

On second thought...why bother at all? Welcome back, Mr. Burns. :) Irene Wilde

Shade, Thank you for such detailed insight. Because my reading time is so very limited, it will take me weeks to finish this book. However, when I do, I'll come back here and compare notes with you. I have my own "suspicions" about this book, and if I still have them at the end, I'll...

Very sorry, I violated the penguin-free request. :( But it's such a non-offensive and non-controversial topic, it's the only place I feel safe anymore. :) I hope you have sporks, pirates, bunnies, donkeys, monkeys, and several gift-wrapped hobnobs for your birthday! And Phil, who and...

Mr. Wabbit, there's been a mistake. You apparently have a different batch of penguins than I do. "sugared words"? Maybe, if "dammit woman get to the mini-mart and get us more Hohos" can be considered "sugared" because they refer to a chocolately snack cake. Therefore I can abidicate any...

But I want to take good care of it for you. And it is a fascinating read so far. Funny and dark and very clever. Irene Wilde

Devilishly handsome and talented too. :) But I already knew that. Still love "Crocodile Tears" and "Falling Apart" best of all. Perhaps you'll be nice and share those lyrics too? Irene Wilde

Not evil! Not evil! I never knew penguins could be so misunderstood! You people are going to force me into the archives to pull out some of the old Penguin Chronicles, and no one wants that, trust me. So Ding dong sports a studded leather collar and a Korn T-shirt. Bad taste perhaps, but...

Clever penguin cloaking device: makes them appear to be innocent squirrels. They have their eye on you, my friend. Not inherently evil, penguins, but they are not tidy and they watch too much TV. And it's probably my fault, I led them right to your door. :o Irene Wilde

Of course you were only dancing. :rolleyes: There wasn't a snog to be seen. :eek: Irene who has a lot to answer for.

Banned Books Something to think about. Irene Wilde

Thanks to my good and politically incorrect chum Mr. Enema, I am currently reading "Pale Fire." Since I do not want to ruin the spine of his book flipping back and forth between the "poem" and the "commentary" I am looking for recommended ways of reading this work. Should I read the poem first...

Having done both, I would have to agree with you. However, I know, sadly, at least one person who would disagree with you. :( The world is less perfect, indeed. Irene Wilde

My very dear Mr. Burns, How many times have I tried to explain to you the what can be said in humorous fashion and be clearly understood as humorous and what can be written in a humorous fashion are two different things? Without tone, inflection, body language, people can only read into the...

Oh how I used to believe that, Mr. Wabbit! But my experience is that distance is distance, and when it cannot be overcome the weight of it becomes unbearable. And that's as close as I come to sharing the secrets of my soul for the day. Where's my shades? :cool: Ah yes, so much better...

Crafty crustaceans, Lobsters. But I'd still keep my eye on the latest Mrs. McCartney for good measure. :) Irene Wilde

Now I prefer the company of furry animals to that of humans most of the time, but I will agree with Mr. O when it comes to animals with shells that live in the water -- prawns, scallops, lobsters, clams, crabs, oysters, mussels -- they may be living creatures with a right to their own existence...

The cozy wood-paneled walls of the Tottenham where I first had a real, luke-warm, thick as soup pint thereof. Followed by the slightly acidic, though very colorful, memory of my chum Anthony surprising me with a Guinness with a cheerful head of pink foam. He'd thought, mistakenly, that for a...

There's no need to wack Cyril with a blunt instrument, except when he keeps going on about the genius of Lawrence Lewellyn-Bowen (sp?), then smack him with my blessing. You can wack Buffin if you like, but chances are he'll just think he's having a flash-back. And if you wack Ding dong, wack...
