Anachronistic phrases still stubbornly used by yours truly:

"I haven't seen him in a coon's age."

"Knew him back when Jesus was still a carpenter."

Try:

'That went out with button down shoes.'

'I haven't seen that since Custer was a corporal.'

If you ride a bike around there (motion triggers attacks) wear a football helmet and have a Bowie knife on you. They usually kill by biting the neck but if they get your skull in their mouth they will crush it.

Pounce attack then the head/neck - 1st turn Surprise. I worry about my redbone hound more than myself, she has no fear. Might have to get her a spike collar. She has different baying depending on critter and threat level. Iam sure she has sensed the cat before judging by the way she has acted a few times.

In a separate note : A large migration occurred out of Toronto Canada area this week.

These birds migrated on mass and "destroyed" a significant area of Arlington Texas [8D]


Image

Word has it that discarded beer cans marked their swath of destruction.


Errmmm yes.. [8D]

However that was subsequently proven not to be "these birds specifically" but rather a rare and strange lone creature known the "rabid wild eyed fan" native to Hamilton Ontario Canada.

Hamilton is famous for its smoke stacks, industrial harbour (yes Canadian Harbour), defunct steel mills, and lone brewery that produces an extremely marginal beverage. It is strongly believed that environmental factors have some sort of impact upon the creatures of that vicinity.

Watch out Cleveland; I understand these birds are now headed for you [8D]

What a strange world we live in where wild rabid wild-eyed Canadian fans seek to pillage the sweet, unsuspecting rubes of Cleveland. [:D]

Cute, using a long word meaning, 'given to or characterized by the use of long words', to describe long words. Are we being pedantic?[:D]

That would be Welsh rarebit - it's just pronounced like "rabbit".

Here's someone who is not Welsh trying to pronounce those really long Welsh place names - c'mon man, spit it out!

And by looking up a certain word I fount this sentence...

The most common use of "antidisestablishmentarianism" is as an example of a sesquipedalian word.

A reseacher was in the local library researching the American Civil War. Reading Northern reports taken from Rebel POWs, he was trying to locate Aug Creek.
Finally he asked a local, who told him how to get to Hog Creek.
