TEST!! Had this been an actual post, you'd have been instructed to...

[westgrandboulevard]

It sounds like the sort of place where you're not afraid to breathe in.

[moe]

Decent! Nice small area!

[westgrandboulevard]

Like 'Green Acres' - ?

[moe]

Small area, people support high school football [[American) team. No rubber hotcakes or the Monroe brothers!

[westgrandboulevard]

Keeping it real, then...

[moe]

As real as we can get here.

[westgrandboulevard]

An alternative reality in our mind is often more attractive.....

[moe]

Sometimes.............but "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing."

[westgrandboulevard]

I'm partial to 'real enhanced', as in looking on the bright side, etc. 'Real' can sometimes be plain dreary...!

[144man]

Oh really?

[westgrandboulevard]

Oh yes. As in 'grim reality'.....

[moe]

I thought it was "grim reaper".

[westgrandboulevard]

'Reality' first, while you're repeatedly breathing, then 'Reaper', when you're not....

[144man]

I thought it was a grim fairy tale.

[westgrandboulevard]

Oh, Brother.....

[144man]

You've got to reap what you sew.

[westgrandboulevard]

I may, but not just because you told me sew....

[144man]

Here's another grim fairy tale.

[westgrandboulevard]

Far from grim. Actually, one of my favourites by The Pointers.....

[moe]

OK............sew what?

[westgrandboulevard]

Sew be it.....

[moe]

Stop needling me!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Now don't go ripping your stitches....

[moe]

And you stop hemming around what you're really trying to say!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I'd better keep it zipped.....

[moe]

You're very biased, westgrand........

[westgrandboulevard]

I can tell your verdict is final and binding, Moe...

[moe]

As long as there is no inner lining to your opinion!

[westgrandboulevard]

Or an ulterior motif....

[144man]

It's all coming apart at the seams.

[westgrandboulevard]

But, as a read, it's a ripping yarn!

[144man]

I see it looming ahead. It might be silk; it might be satin. Is that material?

[westgrandboulevard]

Yesterday, in Dorset, you would have found me in Wool. Today, I'm in polyester and cotton.

[144man]

I'd rather have been swimming in Poole.

[westgrandboulevard]

Especially in the sea, at the bottom of your garden in the Sandbanks peninsula, no doubt....

[moe]

And I am up in the hills of Tennessee!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Whatever are you doing up there?

[moe]

A much needed vacation for the past week..........and with a large telescope trying to spy on you two!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I thought you would have that telescope exclusively trained on another person altogether, who shall remain nameless....

Be vigilant for approaching menace. Forewarned, is forearmed....

[moe]

Yeah, no kidding!

[westgrandboulevard]

On a more sombre note, the terrorist threat level over here has just been raised from 'substantial' to 'severe'.... same with you all, over there?

[moe]

I believe so..........you just take care of yourself!!

[westgrandboulevard]

You, too. There was a time when we would look into the distance for our enemies, but now they seem to be among us.

[144man]

The Forum has been quite peaceful lately.

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, so let's hope you keep it that way.....

[144man]

Are you looking for an argument?

[westgrandboulevard]

No, but Ralph might be....

[144man]

...with Russ

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, wouldn't that be interesting. They'd have to delete themselves. I suppose that would be termed as 'taking one's own thread'.....

[moe]

Unless the three of us missed something the banning/deleting button has been idle as of late.
