They're an anagram of 'No Smel' :wah:

Also of 'Melons' (it's due to their acidic wit and inferiority complex!

Actually, the zest is on the outside.

A slice of lemon, sliced strawberries and ice with Pimms....yummy !

Lemon meringue pie ?

Use oil in polish, perfume.

Lemonade used to water plants keeps the flowers going longer

Lemon juice can be used for several medicinal purposes

Stain removal, cleaning copper

Need more Lemon info, from the Lemmon people:-6 hiding in the shadows..

Not necessarily so. There are also some negative definitions :-3

A car you buy that is no good, a piece of junk, is called a lemon.

And remember what Ron White says:

"If life gives you lemons... make lemonade. Then find somebody that

life gave vodka and have a party".

You have taters with your vodka & lemonade? :sneaky:

As lemons and butter are both yeller, does that make this the new butter thread? :wah:

A medium Vodka dry Martini - with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred.

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 8:47 pm

Oh Chonsi, you're speaking my language there!! And no way, Rapunzel !!! The buttery limerick that hovered in sparkling brilliance on the tip of my pen last night is lost forever - I'm still sulking ... grin... So fergit the butter. On the other hand... LEMON BUTTER.. called lemon curd I think in other places, is one of my absolute favourite treats... Maybe this will turn out okay after all. I'll write a new limerick.

Apparently, Six, somebody was going to leave and had a lemon as his/her av. So a bunch of fine FGers started wearing lemons in solidarity. I think that's all been resolved now, but like you I was at first clueless (hey I'm constitutionally clueless) and thought it was some kind of kinky marital aid. :-6

From there things degenerated into a lemonic free for all.. and here we are now swilling martinis - make mine with gin please - with twists of lemon, while contemplating life, the universe and other surrealities.

The lemons were for Nomad, when he was away for a few days-I didn't use a lemon, I just stole this instead.

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:57 am

You mean we had the chance of being free of Nomad and didn't take it... giggle... We actually encouraged him to return????????? And walk amongst us once again ...

DEEEEEEP THOUGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well.. I'll try and live with that. :yh_rotfl

Six - really it is a secret code. Chonsi is a dastardly member of Opus FGei and trying to prevent us unravelling the conspiracy and finding the um treasure.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:58 am

:wah: That was good, Pam.

Me, I was in it for snitching his avatar!

Just think, we had a lemonade stand in support of Nomad!

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:01 am

There must be an obelisk in here somewhere, and the lemon line will point the way to the treasure

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:11 am

A steele to Nomad!:wah:

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:26 am

I understand from Snooze that Nomad is indeed in a category of his own.

.. pam exits here to consult dictionary .. oh yeah, got it... um.. "Upright slab or pillar usually with inscription and sculpture" ... I knew that... um..

MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm

And hanging from the aforementioned Upright slab or pillar usually with inscription and sculpture, there is a painting full of deep meaning.... and mystery

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet.

The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.

Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it.

One day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny squeaky voice "I'd like to try the bet."

After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.

But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.

As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, what?"

The man replied, "I'm an IRS Agent."

You can rub lemon juice on your face to get rid of freckles. Works best if you do it and then lay in the sun for a while. But it also bleaches your face and make you look sort of pale.

Don't know why someone wants to get rid of freckles, well. . . yes I do. I did as a kid but now they aren't quite so noticible unless I am out in the sun a lot. But I never put lemon juice on my face to get rid of them.

I know the feeling - they've squeezed more money out of me that was ever right or proper
