    Morning wonderful. It's a treat to create the first post on this new forum
    honoring the author of A Fish Called Wanda and the seventh funniest member of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Most every Fifth of October I'll be posting my anniversary message as usual. O mighty admins, can we include links and avatars and other cheeky stuff 'round here? cheers, Sir Michael

    But I see that in my usual technologically-declined way I misread the topic list and thought Gungas was the first to post. Sorry. Good to hear from you, Sir Michael.

    Seventh funniest? :confused:

    See now,… I’ve posted in other places before I even knew this topic was here. So, Let’s all get into the time machine my Great, Great, Great Grandson invented and read this in it’s proper place as my first post and welcoming message. We can stop in and see Attila the Hun snuff it on the way back just for fun.

    Funny that the most ridiculous place names are in the USA (Meteetsee) and in Australia (Wooloomolloo).

    There are funnier place names than Meteetsee in the US! How about Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania? Or Hell, Michigan? Or Bangor, Maine? (Non-New Englanders pronounce it like "banger", but it's supposed to be BANG-gore. Either way, interesting mental picture.) How about Hoboken or Weehawken, New Jersey? Kalamazoo, Wisconsin? Menominee? (Reminds me of that song from the 70s.) Wyoming, Rhode Island--how's THAT for confusing? Or Intercourse, Pennsylvania? I had a boyfriend who wanted to go there after we got married so he could say we spent our entire honeymoon in intercourse...Funny idea, but I'm glad I didn't marry that two-timing (more like 5-timing) bastard.</p>

    <p>But I think Wooloomoloo has them all beat. And it's fun to say.</p>

    In Massachusetts there is a town called Westport. North of that is, of course, North Westport. The far east side of North Westport juts out on top of Dartmouth. So there is a spot in Dartmouth Massachusetts where you can stand "just south of east North Westport.

    What a coincidence, my back hurts too! It's the first gorgeous day we've had since I can't remember when, so I've been outside overdoing it. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to "overdo" it. But I repotted a bunch of plants (did that in bright sunshine on my front deck), got the composter started composting (with some organic "starter" that's supposed to make it heat up and break down faster), fixed the squirrel baffle so that the one squirrel who can jump more than 4 feet vertically couldn't get to the feeders, ran a few errands, and now I'm making soup: "Gypsy Soup" from the Moosewood Cookbook. Yum, can't wait till it's done!:hungry: Meanwhile, as many windows as possible are open, it's 62 degrees F (about 16 C) outside, and it's SUNNY! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :crazy::jumping::cheer::cheer::clap:

    Hooray for sunny days in spring. Hooray for moosewood cookbooks. Hooray for composting. Hooray for Olympic long jumping squirrels.
    Boo, Hissssssss for backaches.
    By the way, it's been MY experience that there are very few Daughters of the American Revolution who want to be left alone. :smoking:

    It's not the olympic long jump--it's the high jump. I told the guy at my local Audubon shop about the squirrel, and he didn't believe me. But I saw the little bugger do it! There are four squirrels in my back yard now, chasing the birds away and copulating shamelessly in full view. 'Course, it doesn't take too long for squirrels....</p>
    <p>My soup came out really good, but my daughter couldn't adjust her mind to accept sweet soup, so I popped a can of Progresso chicken soup for her.<p>

    Ever been to an authentic Polish restaurant? You can get Ducks Blood Soup. It comes to the table cold and sweet. It’s actually quite good. Someone (I suspect raccoon) stole the suit feeder. They usually just open the thing and take the suit. Last night they made off with the whole feeder. Plus the thistle feeder was on the ground as well.

    I found a huge Red-Shouldered Hawk wrestling with my suet feeder on the ground some years back. How the bird got it down is anyone's guess; it hangs on a hooked pole. Deer will also go for suet in winter if food is scarce. I just put a squirrel baffle on my suet feeder pole (one of those cone-shaped affairs; the squirrels figured out how to get around the tube-shaped ones). Feeding the birds is an expensive hobby!

    What isn't?

    Masturbating. Playing golf and strangling small animals are expensive because you need to buy new clubs and animals on a regular basis.

    Ah Maroochydore, the jewel of the sunshine coast. However this thread had moved on from silly names to masturbating. Although I understand it is the favorite pass time in Indooroopilly.

    "Indooroopilly" sounds like the name of one of the new Monopoly variations. Instead of streets and properties, you have homes and rooms. Once you own a home, you can start charging other players who land on it to "visit". Once you own at least three homes in the same color block, you can start furnishing the rooms. Instead of little houses and hotels, there are little tiny pieces of furniture: sofa, chair, home theatre in the living room; refigerator, range, and breakfast nook in the kitchen, etc. Then you can charge even more. The properties start out with efficiency studio aparments and go all the way up to luxury homes like JC's former ranch.
  11.  
    Well, what about masturbationopoly? That's bound to be the favorite game in Indooroophilly.

    • CommentAuthormrsthing
    • CommentTimeApr 10th 2008 edited
     
    Is Spanking anywhere near Peking? :wink: </p>

    <p>Cleesopoly...So instead of properties and utilities, you have characters he's played in Python shows, movies, and in his other works? Nah.... I know, you DO have properties, and it's all the places he lived in in Weston Super Mare. There's probably 28 of those. But that's boring. Shoot, I'm usually better at this.</p>

    <p>"Masturbationopoly"--the person who gets off the most times wins? And instead of an "Advance to Go" card, there's a "Premature Ejaculation" card. And instead of "Go To Jail", there's a "Community Service" square where you miss three turns because you were caught jerking off in public. The tokens could all be tiny sex toys and tiny pewter tubes of KY jelly! :shamed: :rolling: I guess Mrs. Thing isn't so boring after all! </p>

    Thanks, Doc! It's good to have you back. </p>
    <p>Cleesopoly: you collect cheeses? The cheap "rents" are Cheez-Whiz and those nasty WisPride cheese logs, then you graduate to aged cheddar and swiss, on up to feta and goat cheese, and then brie and Boursin. Your playing pieces would be a cheese board, a cheese slicer, a tiny cheese round, a cheese knife, a cracker, a cow, a goat, a bazouki, and a bowler hat...and a cat to eat the runny camembert. And tiny pewter likenesses of John Cleese, Michael Palin, the two dancers (as one piece) and the bazouki player from the Cheese Shop sketch. Instead of "Go To Jail", you have a "You Cut The Cheese!" card, and you have to sit in the fondue pot for three turns. Instead of railroads and utilities, you have cheese factories and cheese gift shops.</p>

    Oh man I'm on the floor with that Cleesopoly! I love the bit about having to spend three turns in front of the fondue pot. It's a natural with the cheese board as a playing surface.

    BTW, Possum, you should know that Mr. Cleese actually visits from time to time (he was here yesterday, in fact) and comments on the threads. We finally get our wish! And now I'm afraid to be Mrs. Thing, which was really quite liberating. When we knew he wasn't involved, we had a lot of fun, so we should just pretend that this "jackcheese" person is another looney like us and not the founder of the virtual feast. Or at least, I should.

    I had Mexican food the other night, and every item on the menu listed Jack Cheese as one of the ingredients! And that was the best thing about it, because the food was almost completely flavor-free. Not sure how that happened--it's hard to make Mexican food with no flavor, but they did it.

    He? Is here? HH himself? Mr. Cleese? We used to dream of this

    I used to dream of being chased by a giant pillow.

    Oh, and that dream with the fudge factory.

    Or the recurring one where I wake up with an elephant trunk instead of a belly button, that was a fun week!
