  • Obamania, For Real,

    It'll be interesting to hear what the former inmate David Hicks, now free from his protection order a month or more , says when he eventually speaks...t

    Apparently Hicks wrote poetry while in his Taliban phase. I saw a snatch somewhere, it included the line "there blows the beagle" - rhymed with eagle. He meant bugle.

    While it'd be interesting to hear his story, I fear he's no wordsmith.

    If man refers to a woman as a slut even if she is one it is justification for a slap in the face and a real man is not meant to respond.

    Please define what you mean by "slut".

    . . . I think them rather noble beasts . . .

    Know what you mean. Apparently the story that tarantulas shatter when dropped isn't a myth, urban or otherwise.

  • Up Front: The Missus,

    My claim to fame is the lbig new tetragnathoid I discovered (new to science that is.)

    Hey, respect! That puts you in a similar league to the august Tim Flannery, though with 16 new mammal species to his credit he's got a pretty impressive lead.

    Around ten years ago I heard Flannery on ABC radio, in his weekly spot with John Doyle, aka Rampaging Roy Slaven of H. G. & Roy, talking about his discovery of the New Guinean tree kangaroo Dingiso, or Bondegezou. After describing what an engagingly teddybear-like critter the animal was, Flannery casually mentioned that it also tasted pretty good. As he was staying at the time in a village where the people treated the marsupial as game, rather than a protected ancestor, it happened to be that night's stew.

    Even the amiably macho Doyle seemed a bit taken aback. How could he be such an ogre?
    "You get a bit sick of rice after three months" was Flannery's excuse.

    Trust you won't be dining on spiders.

    It had rules supposedly from the Koran or something about beastiality and so forth.

    ou do realise Dick Cheney is out of office? So's Bush.

    Gepetto shuffles off to Wyoming in a wheelchair, Pinocchio's packed off to Texas. Pity, really - I'd kind of hoped they'd end up together as an exhibit in some kind of creationist museum, next to the sodomites 'n stegosaurus.

    Polishin their guns, I'd imagine..

    If I didn't find Sacha to be such a paragon of rectitude I might've taken that as some kind of euphemism.

    Nice that you've matured beyond "Obambi", James.
