COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Have fun and catch only fish and nothing bad.

I caught a seagull once.
Put me off fishing forever.

10 points for Tidgy. I was curious if wifey runs around looking for high ground as well. It shows common sense and intelligence.

wifey is not that smart.

Again, need I remind you that the word cheese had been banished by none other than yourself. I would not want for you to be thought of as a hypocrite my dear cold dark Lord. Although I am known for some hypocrisy myself.

The word cheese, or indeed cheese itself will never be banished.
Just no points this month.

Well, I've read every post and i have no clue at all as to what is going on.
Pray enlighten me.
In a dark sort of enlightening way.

@Tidgy's Dad What makes you think I know what's going on? ?
I'm just along for the ride on this crazy little roller coaster like everyone else!

And some have no tactical abilities whatsoever. And no, I wasn’t talking about myself.

Ha. I hope you weren't referring to me. As I have loads of tactics.

Adam was tossed out of the garden of Eden if you recall.

And landed in Morocco?

Of course you know what’s going on. It’s a roller coaster of your design. And extremely fiendish at that. And with occasional crossovers which caused people to collide. I know I’m plastered at the bottom of the roller coaster having been smashed by several people. I was called argumentative and cantankerous and my feelings are hurt. And my phone doesn’t work right and I keep having to correct everything and even when I correct everything I don’t catch it all so I need a new phone.

I tried calling things and I tried scoring negative points and I tried to win my wooden Spork back but I failed because it’s not fair. I’m not calling anybody for anything anymore because I’m not getting the points I deserve anyway. I should be deeply in the negatives, solidly in the lead to retain my glorious wooden Spork and instead I’m sitting alone in a cold dark corner licking my wounds and about to have to work on charts so I can’t even try to redeem my negative qualities and I’m tired of correcting the stupid phone. I’m tired of trying to be negative to get my spork back. And I’m tired of my phone. Alas, poor Sporky! Fortinbras has come.

Oooohhh. Wait oh darn it. Now I have another theory. Dammit this game SUCKS!!!

Tidgy however is that smart.
I’m surprised we didn’t see her at the World Chess Championship in London a couple of years ago

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

So cute. My daughter used to raise silkies. Nothing cuter than mama silkie and her brood.

Bleuch!

 

[CarolM]

Now THAT's really showing your age!

Does that mean I am still a spring chicken? As I have no clue what that means.

 

[CarolM]

Gods not you too.. I feel like I have fallen into alliteration HELL.
SOO here.. Retaliation... My top ten.

1.) Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
2.) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood, as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
3.) Round the rough and rugged rock, the ragged rascal rudely ran.
4.) Nine nimble noblemen nibbling nuts.
5.) Quizzical quiz, kiss me quick.
6.) Betty bought a bit of butter. But, the butter Betty bought was bitter. So, Betty bought better butter, and it was better than the butter Betty bought before.
7.) Ingenious iguanas improvising an intricate impromptu on impossibly-impractical instruments.
8.) Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. (And) Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?
9.) Nine nimble noblemen nibbling nuts.
10.) A proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot.

No. 9 is a repeat of no. 4

Yes. Spring chicken. Age brings wisdom and Calgon.

 

[CarolM]

That is a delightful quote and I’m sure it will be very helpful for the next person who wins the coveted wooden Spork. Thank you for sharing.

Are you sick? Do we need to call the doctor?

Understandable

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I came back and have 20 pages to read so that should safely add another.......30 pages for all of you to get through all my responses. ?

Dippers (the UK’s only aquatic song bird which catches creatures in the bottom of rivers and streams to eat)

we found trees that had been chewed by the beavers! We were all very excited!

I have always wanted to go to Canada to see Beavers... this was the first picture of a Beaver Lodge I found online

@JoesMum You're making me homesick for that side of the pond again...

 

[Lokkje]

My dear I am the doctor. If there’s anything you need I would be more than happy to help. I swore an oath to do no harm and to help all and I am rather appalled and dismayed by the fact that you would think that I was anything but kind and sweet and gentle. So I will make every endeavor to be kindly and sweet and gentle to all of my friends here at the CDR as I was getting a little too enthusiastic about retaining my coveted wooden Spork. I just never won anything before and I got a little overly excited but I apologize.

 

[CarolM]

Oh yeah I kidnapped @Chubbs the tegu and had him locked up I forgot to say sorry ?

So.... it wasn't Maggie?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

yes. I will say yes my good sir....am I onto something or should I keep looking

I forget.
Please tell me what you are calling.
