Looking good, dead or alive. That would work for all of us

[144man]

I've just had my cat embalmed. Maybe I should have waited till she died first.

My new cat is called Rover. I'm just about to give her a bath. Wish I could find a way to stop the fur sticking to my tongue.

[westgrandboulevard]

Cat's Rescue would be able to help you all out......

[144man]

Felines,
Nothing more than felines.
Trying to forget
My felines of love.

[moe]

What about Cat's Claw?

[westgrandboulevard]

Could be the purrrfect remedy?

[moe]

Not for me, westgrand.........I'd rather go to the dogs!

[144man]

I'd rather go to see westgrand...he has chocolate.

[westgrandboulevard]

I do. I have a selection of both dark and milk chocolate, but not enough to feed those 143 extra mouths.....

[[y'know, in the history of SDF,there can't have been many simultaneous inter-thread conversations as with the current three, can there....)

[144man]

.

[[y'know, in the history of SDF,there can't have been many simultaneous inter-thread conversations as with the current three, can there....)

There could be a very good reason for that!

Someone will know the answer, possibly arrr&bee or juicefree.

[westgrandboulevard]

arrr&bee has probably,at some time, conducted the same conversation over three threads, but won't remember a word of it, due to you-know-what....

juicefree is far more likely to remember, with the clue being in the member name he uses...

[144man]

Ralph might know, but then again he might just cancel us.

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, he might. We'd best keep quiet. I'll turn off the light when I've finished vacuuming the carpet.

[144man]

And don't let that elephant out; we'll need it for next time Ralph's away.

[westgrandboulevard]

You mean the elephant in the room? Which elephant.......????

[144man]

The one that arrr&bee put there after the last party.

[westgrandboulevard]

Oh, that one. Well, it wasn't really a party. Arrr&bee was giving another of his 'Serengeti shall not die' lectures [[but which of course was actually pre-printed for us to read, while he laid in a dark room, as usual) and he thought the elephant would add a slight touch of authenticity.

[moe]

The elephant found R&B's hooch the last time Ralph went out of town and started doing the "elephant walk."

[144man]

That was one hell of a party...I wish I remembered it.

[westgrandboulevard]

I bet it remembers you LOL

[moe]

Don't you two remember anything? After filling your glasses with that hooch the elephant saunters across the room, sniffs the hooch and sucked it up with its trunk. The party ended quickly because no more hooch and the elephant fell on its behind..........and no one could move it!!

[144man]

Oh yes, I remember the noise as it sat down suddenly and burst all the pretty balloons. Did anyone remember to pay the piper?

[westgrandboulevard]

No need. Flattened. Very sad. And anyway, I wasn't there. I'd already gone across the street to meet the Sisters of Mercy.

[144man]

Were you suitably humiliated?

[westgrandboulevard]

Not at all. Their party was even livelier

[144man]

Mama told me not to come.

[westgrandboulevard]

Your Dad arrived, dressed appropriately - as was his habit.

[144man]

Yes, he was quite "conventional".

[westgrandboulevard]

If that was "conventional", then I'm Vivienne Westwood

[144man]

It was conventional as in CONVENTional. Hello, Vivienne!

[westgrandboulevard]

I got it the first time LOL

And Vivienne's away from her desk right now, being unconventional at a convention, in a convent.

[144man]

And I'm going back to the Monastery to collect my Pension.

[moe]

Vivian is NOT a conventional designer!
I like that...........Father 144man!

[westgrandboulevard]

Or Brother 144 - which makes him sound like a laser printer

[moe]

How bout "O Brother, where art thou?" The Coen Brothers would be impressed!

[westgrandboulevard]

Give me the Funk Brothers anytime.

On that subject....

If you possessed the talent to play any instrument [[maybe you already have!), then which one[[s) would you choose, just to be a part of that Motown Sound - ?

[moe]

The drums...............like Benny Benjamin!! Boom, Boom, Boom.........
Never played an instrument, but always wanted to play like Benny!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Me too! BB is the first one I think of, but there were others, of course.

I don't go for the LA recordings as much, simply because they don't have quite that sound, coupled of course with that marvellous bass - James Jamerson.

The other instrument I'd wish to play with the Funk Brothers [[which, when I was young,I did quite well, until I got interested in records, including Motown - so I just stopped!) is the piano. I love hearing the piano on the records, either jazz tinkling along, or being very 'grand'....[[or maybe that should read 'west grand' !)

[144man]

I thought I might have just about enough talent to play the tambourine. I was quickly disillusioned when I saw Jack Ashford.

[westgrandboulevard]

I know. I have no idea how he could play that tambourine, and also remember to breathe at the same time...

[arrr&bee]

UM EXCUSE ME,BUT YOU GUYS ARE STARTING TO ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE...[are we being audited???]AND AS FOR THAT DRUNK ELEPHANT SLIPPERY SAM ON THE CORNER WILL SELL HOOCH TO ANYBODY,WHEN I ASKED HIM HE SAID THAT ALL ELEPHANTS LOOK ALIKE WITH DARK SHADES AND A HAT!!

[westgrandboulevard]

We're more familiar with those distinctive pink elephants....

[moe]

Are we being audited?? Well, it IS close to April 15th!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Ssssh, speak softly, moe. Arrr&bee will find that sort of talk very taxing...

[moe]

A brilliant deduction, westgrand!!!!!!!!!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

There's no accounting for some folk....

[144man]

Accountancy goes back to the Garden of Eden. Adam was the first bookkeeper. He turned over a leaf and made an entry.

[moe]

Was it an entry onto Schedule A?

[westgrandboulevard]

This girl knows what she's talking about....

[144man]

Time to turn over a new leaf.
