G’day Jason, Dry, Joe, Barb, Lonewolf, Bjorn and all Meggsie fans.
Looks like the N2O has given Ginger a flight of fancy. Soon he will be more interested in the pretty nurse than tooth fairies. Inflation has probably hit the tooth fairy these days, all he/she had to bring me was a threepenny piece which was the smallest and lightest coin.
Graffiti: Must remember never to get a passport, don’t like flying anyway. A while ago I flew to Hobart, Tasmania for a few days. On the first night I trod on my shoe lace, fell over, cut my right hand open and broke my thumb. Didn’t enjoy the trip.
Must go dish up the osso buco for dinner. See ya’ later on.
Have you extended your overseas trip because of the volcano problems? You were due home tomorrow. Meggsie fans are eager for news, especially for updates on your trip, that tour of Paris was fascinating.
Joe: The song was titled ‘How Ya Gonna Keep ‘Em Down On The Farm”. The words ‘.. after they’ve seen Paree’ (phonetically) followed in the lyric. Paris was, indeed, referred to as ‘gay’ in the vernacular many years ago but in an entirely different sense to what the word implies today. No problems there of course but the evolution of language should be recognised as giving different meanings to words as time passes.

Yes. The word “man” (originally monn) once meant a person of undefined gender and only acquired the sense of being “male” much later. “woman” is derived from wif-monn or “wife-person”. In German, man still means “person of undefined gender”.

I still remember the auditory hallucinations I had from nitrous oxide at the dentist about 60 years ago.

I was only knocked out with that gas when about to have my wisdom teeth taken out back in 2003… a few months before high school graduation.
