Gâday all Megsie fans. What a surprise for Hookey!! - pronounced âHook - keyâ. Donât think he knew about the party until Ginger told him he was coming.
I think the cost of candles equals the cost of the cake at my age. Cheers all.
Gâday Jason, Joe, Dry, Barb, Lonewolf,Bjorn and all Meggsie fans
Jason Many thanks for that link to your Facebook entry yesterday and sharing your trip with us.
Whatever course Gingerâs life takes, let us sincerely trust he does not become a diplomat stationed in an unfriendly country.
As far as getting old is concerned, getting is better than got. Sometimes it seems gradual and unnoticed, but when I went to join a website a few days ago I found, to my horror, that the drop-down list for year of birth did not go as far down as the year of mine. Forget the cost of candles, this was a real shocker. Suddenly, got had replaced getting.
Right at that moment I gave thanks for having Meggsie around. He is considerably older than me, as well as being 12 years of age when he burst upon the scene in 1921. But just look at him; he thinks young and now so do I. I picked a much more recent year and felt fit to take on the world once again.
In a lot of older strips Kemsley had Ginge calling different characters Hookey - heâd have him call Benny, Hooks, Fitzzy and Cuthy âhookeyâ - Sometimes heâd call benny âHooperâ
I think it was a slang term, making fun of the fact that they wouldnât wag school with Ginge. (ie; the way that they call fat people âskinnyâ or redheads âblueyâ in Australia)
Believe it or believe it not, until now I had never associated the name of Hookey in Meggsie with âplaying hookeyâ - obvious now. We do indeed live and learn.
Gotcha Joe. Those who whinged about everything in general here were called âHappyâ. The significance often escaped them so to their peers the joke simply got better and better.
