COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

It's often remarked on how many straight lines mark the boundaries between US States, indeed only one has no straight lines at a border.
Which one ?

Hawaii!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

ha! Ha!
Ha ha!
Nuzzing in ze vorld can stop me now!!!
ha ha ha!!!

Nuzzing...except Philip of Burgundy!!!! (Points for what show, what season and what episode that was from!)

In the whole of the Second World War only six Americans were killed by enemy action on US soil, all of them at a church picnic.
The cause of death was a Japanese fugo.
What was a fugo ?

Probably would've been more successful with bullet Bill

Hawaii!!!!

Think Ed beat you to it Bea!
Can't remember if it was right or not.

 

[jaizei]

Still no.
Technically, it's 46, as four of them are not States, they are Commonwealths; Virginia, Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is

And, getting older only seldom bothers me. My children keep me so darn busy I don't have the time to dwell on this stuff, but also recall the long fun filled years before taking a leap into motherhood... I never really worried to much about the time passing... Grey hair and such... I love to see that people of all ages participate in chats here. It's wonderful!

 

[Moozillion]

Yes, it doesn't allow that or male chicken or female dog, which is interesting in the other pets and animal photos sections.

I was thinking "the censor won't allow 'rooster'??!?!"....then I remembered the other word!
Seriously!!!!!

I've taken to defining 'old' as my age + 5. Works for me, sorry to the rest of you.

An ignited fart?

I'm buying it for my daily vocabulary use. From this point forward the word "fugo" (not to confuse with "Hugo") stands for an ignited fart!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You jest?

You know me, Bea, i've no sense of humour at all.
ha de ha.
But it's another question that people think they know.
And many non Americans have no idea at all, i'd be surprised if 10% of the people I know here have a clue.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sounds like a good name for a car?

it does.
But nope.

Nah! My definition of "old" is 95+

Nope.

Wibble

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Wow! You guys do lots of quick exchanges! And I only jump in and out on my phone in between Saturday evening tasks. Just came back with our babies from their daily outing/gym in Texas evening sun. I don't take them out earlier in the day, it's to hot. This time of a day is perfect, still sunny but it's softer, breezier, nice. About the biblical Eve, I'm not that sneaky. I'm more "black and white", "what you see is what you get", "take it or leave it" kinda Eve

Hopefully, I'm not much like the biblical Adam either.
He could be a bit silly and gullible.
Oh, perhaps I am, then.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hawaii!!!!

Right, but too late!

Its a bit too obvious to be a bomb
So as it's a picnic were they poisoned?

You're setting yourself up for some ribbing Adam.
I think you should turn over a new leaf

Or stupid, or spineless??? Blame it all on a woman?! Seriously???!
