COLD DARK ROOM

[johnsonnboswell]

My mother out-law lived near the Canadian border. There were wolf prints in the snow near the river & near the outhouse. Cold & windy... seriously cold. The proffered chamber pot for the middle of the night was a very welcome bit of civilization.

Their dogs slept with us, too.

As Groucho said: outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

HELLO!

It's a bit Dark in here, too.
But reading lights are available, couldn't do without a book.
Nice story.

[Tidgy's Dad]

We are French.
Why do you think we have this outrageous accent?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I have to leave The Cold Dark Room for a bit.
Tidgy needs some sunshine.
Help yourselves to coffee and please use the hole in the Corner.
There's some tea about somewhere too.
Follow your noses.
It's Dark in here.

I love the Marx Brothers! Such silly but clever stuff.

Knock knock just popping in to say a quick hello, but I'll play it at 35 rpm so it's not too garbled.
How are you today in your cold dark room?

 

[Lyn W]

Anyway anyone, does anybody know what the Victorians used badger willies for?

Tie clips - though how they thought of that goodness knows and think they used the fur for shaving brushes.

Missed a page and didn't see you'd already given answer, never mind I added the bit about the fur,
Got to go and buy some night vision goggles will pop back and hopefully see you later but please make sure you are wearing clothes!

It's nice in here.
But Cold and Dark.
And a Room.
How are you?

You can still get top quality shaving brushes made from badger hair.
I have one.
But don't shave.

Actually, in my house I wear only boxers in the summer, but in the Cold Dark Room I wear a long black Arab djellaba with gold trim, yellow babouche (slippers) and my fes.

Wifey has gone behind my back and bought some sort of air-condiionery cooling-tower gizmo.
It's only 110°F today for heavens sake.
And now i've got to assemble it.
This should be funny.

Yeah.... Don't forget the torrential rain. It's doing that now as well

 

[mike taylor]

Well Adam just found your room . And I must say you really need some air freshener in here .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Actually the winds picking up here.
We may have a thunderstorm tonight.
I Like those.
And I like 110°F plus as well.
But wifey moans.
