There’s still a ray of hope…

Actually, Zonker, it’s frequencies like that which help make this a planet of six billion people.

I remember the same frequency in 64 when a foursome of Brits stepped off a plane.

@Susan: Why? Are you afraid Zonk is going to get pizza grease on the sheets and steal the blankets?

A note to whatever amateur did today’s coloring; “Yellow pizza? Really?” Looked much better in B & W in my daily newspaper. (Yes, some of us still read newspapers.)

Setebos … we’re at 7 billion, moving on to 8. But people are starting to think with their heads instead of with their …

and the growth rate is slowing down.

Susan, Margaret, I just now registered for this forum so I can tell you how OUTRAGEOUS your implications about Zonker and Sam in bed together are. There is nothing funny about a middle aged man and a little sharing a bed. That you would even suggest it in jest is immoral.

Don’t have to worry about Zonk messing inappropriately with a young girl. If you recall an arch from a few years back, when he went to Charles and Di’s do, he met a woman then and they started spending time together.

However she discovered that his elfen ways didn’t include any sort of drive, interest, or understanding of such direct physical intimacy.

I don’t think the pizza is yellow, WaitingMan. The crust just appears to be a light tan. Or maybe it is the corn. Yes, corn. I worked for a month in the U.K. about 20 years and grabbed a pizza at a Pizza Hut and it came with corn on it. Needless to say, I was quite surprised!

Pizza with tuna and sweetcorn is a very popular combination in the UK.

People with lives don’t care much about their wedding.

They are certainly not better than the rest of us, and the time for kings, queens and royalty has long past.

Other than being a tourist attraction for people who actually think that the “Royals” are better than themselves, the Royal family doesn’t do anything for the British People, except cost them many millions in tax dollars every year.

A British friend of mine told me that many in Britain, including a large number in Parliament, think it is time to end their “rein,” because the British economy can no longer afford the luxury of having a pretend monarchy.

We’re at 6.77 billion people now, moving to 7, not 7 billion moving to 8. We’re supposed to hit 7 billion some time this year.

Susan: If the age of consent in the UK is 13, they have nothing to worry about. Just ask Jerry Lee Lewis.

gimmickgenius-and on french baguettes.

As to the yellow on the pizza, there is such a thing as yellow cheese, e.g. some processed cheese made from cheddar.
