G'day Chezzie. Missed that one, but looks like he/she/it has now been relieved of his/her/its pain, and hopefully also his/her/its wings and wallet. I've always found that a hammer makes such a neat mess when artistically applied. How the heck are you??



A great way to silence a spammer

Is to clobber his ass with a hammer

Then spray him with mace

And dance on his face

That should put an end to his yammer

:sneaky:

I'm really a pussycat

I'm really a pussycat

I'm really a pussycat

Wouldn't hurt a fly..... Truly....

So sorry you've been sick, Chezzie. You poor thing (by the way, my comments in another place are absolutely not directed at you... you do fantastically, and with all your other responsibilities, even more so!! I agree with everything you said there). Hope you feel fully better soon.

Yes, I've been reading about Cumbria. Awful!!

I liked the look of Kathy's dish too - might fix that here one day.

The poems were fun.. grin. The limerick form is perfect for the elevated nature of these little requiems!!

Take care!!!

What a silly name has jdasiaujsa !

He tries his best to mess, but hey!

There's Mustang prancing into view

You're gone, jda, bye bye, toodloo !

Pam, could I please use the devil as my avatar?

Pretty please?

He is rather cute, Abbey - cute but lethal... A nice combo. He's yours!!!

Cheers me dear, I'm going to print that onto a T-shirt. :-6

The mere thought Is enough to keep one awake at night. :(:(

I'm sorry the link doesn't work for you, Odie. Amazon.com advertises a CD of Anne Boyd's work and you can listen to extracts - all are Asian inspired and totally beautiful. The Goldfish in Summer Rain is my absolute favourite.

There are only two pieces by Anne Boyd (that I can find) on YouTube.

YouTube - Bali Moods by Anne Boyd

Based on Balinese gamelan modes

and a very beautiful choral piece - Song of Rain

YouTube - A Song of Rain (Anne Boyd) SSAA Choir

I have sheet music of the Goldfish, somewhere.... maybe I can feel a flute session coming on - but first

------

A small fish the colour of gold

Found Canadian rain much too cold

So sought summer. This means

It got canned like sardines

For being too warm and too bold

I'm trying to excise from the single blonde neuron the thought of any kind of pollination/ fertilisation, cross or amicable, between the suggested contenders.

In fact I think I shall banish myself forthwith out of here entirely for a while. Do some work, then bake some Thanksgiving fare. I'm not even American and yet the expectations round here are that turkey will somehow appear on the table on Thursday followed by a home made pumpkin pie AND a home made pecan pie.

thanks Pam.:-4

I could have rhymed it with 'old'. 'Bold' is better.

I remember wearing a red dress to an Irish ceilí, a few years ago in Canberra - and realising that while I was fluting with the other musos, who all happened to be blokes, the ladies were talking about me in the kitchen. I was a bad/bold girl, because of the red, and because of playing with the men... grin..

Is cailín dána mise ar fad - I'm entirely bold and bad, to be sure I am, and proud of it!!!

Which meant she's here no more

Somehow she cheated

On her bike she had a view

And travelled on it to pastures new

I didn't think that she was banned

But rather, on the other hand

Decided on a different pew.

Oscar's Happy Anniversary thread

But Peter knew he was a sinner

And cooked his giblets up for dinner

Then served him with some crusty bread.

Well, the thread started with Pammie, so I guess, like TLW, it wants to end up with Pammie!

I really have very seriously tried to steer this thread away from where it keeps trying to go. The deserving and undeserving heroic banned have lots of other places to pop up in - and it rarely ends well.

I intended the thread to be light and bright, creatively unforgiving and full of gratuitous violence, murder and mayhem. I wanted it to deal with the faceless small trolls we never knew, couldn't know - rather than people some of us are fond of, or friends with or arch enemies of.

Now I'm sitting here looking at the screen wondering whether to pen a Requiem for a Requiem limerick, a defiant in your face bring it all on I'm bad and don't give a toss limerick, or go and have my lunch. We were recently told that starting a thread conveys no special privileges anyway. Lunch sounds good...

Bugger seriousness. And bugger trying too. Too much effort sux. It's amazing how laid back eating a cheese and tomato sandwich on rather stale but nicely chewy bread makes a girl feel. The fig that followed (just coming into season here) was also yummy... I do like figs. Maybe it's the voluptuous shape of them... um...

So another poor clueless loser has been mashed... LOVELY !! I missed that entirely.. But I have a visual of Mustang nobly rising to the occasion and delivering a well aimed swipe with what I hope was a very blunt, knobbly instrument. More trauma that way, more interesting blood spatter... :sneaky:

This Requiem thread for the Banned

Sometimes flows through my fingers like sand

But thankfully, Gill

It's all grist to the mill

Only boring things go as we planned

(Pam enters stage left)

Friends, Animals of the Land, Fish of the Sea, I come to bury this thread not to praise it.

(Pam strides to centre stage, and the single dimmed spotlight catches her pale, tortured face, wracked with cosmic angst and existential artfulness)

This thread was elegiac, an elevated and elevating paean to the not so dearly departed, an immoral offering to Calliope, Muse of High Poetry.

(Stage sigh)

I gave it my all, my life blood, every last drop of creative juice, the sweat of my keyboard, my wine stained tears (sad smile).



(Dramatic pause - a hint of blues music can be heard, and the melancholy skyirl o bagpipes)

Anyone can of course hang out here, and if they misunderstand the intent, don't get the humour, wring their hands, that is their right. Odie who is sweet and pleasant of course is entitled to her opinions, and as far as I can see in FG, expresses them freely and frequently.

I too have some needs. (Pause for effect) And if I want to throw a wobbly in the thread I started, I shall do so. So there!!! We arteestes are soooo misunderstood.... (the spotlight illumines a single tear which flows sadly southwards).

(With yet another mournful sigh.... Pam, lowers her face, and exits stage right,... the spotlight dims to darkness)

Lol! It was indeed a wonderful perfomance Pam although I missed some of the finer points of dramatic melancholia as I had dripped my icecream down my dress.

Seriously, It's a wonderful fun thread, I don't know why you aren't proud of it.

Unless you were aiming for Shakespearian delights whilst we all prefer farce and comedy. You're too high-brow for us sweetie. You drink champers, we drink coke. You ride in a chauffeur-driven stretch limo, we ride in old jalopies. You ski in mountain resorts, we slide down snowy hills on tea trays. We just aint in your class, me dear, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate your brilliant wit and wisdom, it just means we aint smart enuff to come up wiv all the high-fallutin' stuff that you come up with so easily.

Thanks Pam :-4

Um... er.. thankyou Rapunzel, Bryn, Gill.

And I'd like to thank everyone who came in here. I honestly haven't had a good verbal wank in ages - and had almost forgotten how much I'd missed it. For a few mad moments it put a spark in my eye and hairs on my chest. I'm sorry it didn't work out for everyone. The middle of the thread now appears to have been excised and has landed elsewhere - passworded so I apparently can't access it, even though it appears in my list of subscribed threads - so presumably contains stuff I've written.

Anyway, if anyone feels like pm-ing me the password, I may briefly go where angels would fear to tread. I'll probably regret it... grin.

In the meantime, we're getting close to the evening of Thanksgiving Day here Down Under - I know it seems odd we get there before American Forum Gardeners - but Aussies are a speedy lot (and we celebrate EVERYTHING). I've got family coming - and turkey in the oven... and home baked pumpkin pie and pecan pie in the fridge, so I'll be off. Take care, All !!! xxx

Pam, it's tells you at the top of the forum. :-6

It's not my usual thing to quote anything biblical - but there's a verse I particularly like in Ecclesiastes: "God made man simple; man's complex problems are of his own devising [Ecc 7:29]



This thread is past its use by date. It got a bit off track and we've run out of trolls.

BUT - perhaps, down the track a bit, a new thread will be born, naked and unashamed, wacky and wicked - arising like a phoenix from the ashes, bursting like a ripe pustule upon the fruitful face of Forum Garden, spreading jolliness and germs.

Stay tuned for the next exciting.....

Oh, we're out of time... G'night.

Floppy - I'm so full, I think I'm going to burst. The turkey was awesome, and so were the pies... I have sent care packages of pie to my sister, and my younger daughter has taken some to give to American colleagues at work tomorrow...
