Reminded me of an abridged version of the 'Mariner' - tried to find it - no luck yet. It was only three or four verses long. Can remember a few lines in case it inspires someone to comeup with the rest:


I tweaked a bleeding albatross
And shot him through the head
And when I saw what I had done
I wished that I was dead

What with that bird about me neck
And spirits in the water
I knew that thing that I had done
I really hadn't oughta

I ate my humble, wouldn't you

and so on...

:eyebrow: do you have anything to back this claim up? My dad has taken to blaming the dogs fleas and I would like some proof before I confront him about it :D

Blaming the dog's fleas? That's silly, the real culprit is the Buck Mice.:D

Puleeze Bruce, youre talking about a man who still tries to get me to fall for 'pull my finger, pull my finger!!'..Dad's, they never grow up. :D

A few intersting diagrams - note UK gasoline is now 97p/litre

Oops! - meant to post this one....

I am. :rolleyes:

And don't you EVER, not EVER ask me for help with your English homework again, Bri.:mad:

No, I hold on to MY binky. Lost yours? :p

And mice can't burp - at least so I've heard.

Gotta' lanyard. Keep it handy. :cool:

Meh. You weren't much help anyway.

Aesop, "The fox and the grapes"

Mari, that analogy just doesn't work. I'm not 'sour grapes' because I asked you to help and you didn't. You DID help me, so, I did, metaphorically, 'eat the grapes'. I just found your help to be...well, not very helpful. It's not a matter of 'oh, I WANTED those grapes and couldn't get them; I'll bet they are sour anyway'--it's a matter of, "I ate those grapes. They weren't all that great."

See how that works?
