Bobby McFerrin is awesome. He does some of classical music pieces that are just stupefying.
That guy is nuttier than a fruitcake. That was horrible! lol

I wonder if it's worse to be nuttier than a fruitcake or fruitier than a nutcake...

That probably belongs in the Hmmmm thread.
I wonder if it's worse to be nuttier than a fruitcake or fruitier than a nutcake...I'd go with the latter if it wasn't for the former. I think I've been brainwashed.

Have you been eating dishwasher tablets? :sqconfused:
No but I think someone might have slipped a few into Bobby's eggnog.

Is he frothing at the mouth? When he rubs his eyes, is there a squeaky noise? Does he smell pine fresh by any chance?
Are we talking about Bobby Ewing btw.
Pine fresh? Please tell me that you meant lemon fresh, that is all that I ask.
lol
I never did like balsamic vinegar.

Lemons are over rated, I like limes.

Can you descale taps with that?

No. And furthermore, anyone who likes pine nuts was a squirrel in their previous life.

Since you raise the subject, shouldn't those squirrelly critters be hibernating by this time of year. I have a pair that come and sit on the back fence, but 5 feet from my window. They'll sit there for half the day. I suspect it is something to do with the vent from next doors heating boiler. They may have figured out it pumps out warm air and use it to keep warm. Either that or they are trying to jump the cat when it comes out the cat flap.
They may be pining for nuts though.
Interesting.
Pining for nuts lol.
Squirrels do not hibernate that I know of, I've spent many hours in the woods at all times of the year.

Well it seems some do and some don't.
Ground dwellers live in burrows, and many become dormant in winter (hibernate) or summer (estivate). As opposed to some ground squirrels (like white-tailed prairie dog), tree squirrels do not hibernate. They however become very inactive during the winter months to preserver energy.

I'll have to ask them if they are tree squirrels. I hope they are not offended.

Most of my many hours in the woods of northern New England were spent virtually motionless, both on the ground and in tree stands.

Were you pretending to be a tree? What kind?
Were you pretending to be a tree? What kind?I was big game hunting. That is what real men do.

Yeah, oh to be a real man. Us fake men in London just go to Tescos or Sainsburys and buy humus and bread sticks. :sqwink:
lol
I don't really hate pine nuts, it's just that I ate some once and they made me puke violently for about 5 minutes.
Speaking of which, I watched that Ecclesiastical Elite vid in Ferre's sig link last night and I am still trying to digest that sucker. lol
The one's preceding that vid were quite interesting. I'll be watching the one's succeeding tonight sometime.

OK! But what about the humus?
Muddy

Things that make you go humus?
I went to watch the following two videos but they're gone, most of the videos have changed to different ones.
I vaguely remember One Step Beyond airing, I was seven or eight years old.

Nothing like main-lining straight humus.
OK! But what about the humus?Humus is just an early stage of gasoline, pay no mind to that.
lol

You can make gasoline from chick peas!?! Or are you alluding to some sort of methane production?

Humus
"the dark organic material in soils, produced by the decomposition of vegetable or animal matter and essential to the fertility of the earth."

I guess mushrooms grow well on sawdust and hay. I saw that on a PBS gardening show.

Nothing humorous about humus.

Don't mind me, I'm just rambling.
(Remove 'nothing' from my previous post.)
You can order a variety of different mushroom spores, they come in a bag of sawdust or w/e, then you just poke a few holes in the plastic.

Black eyed chick pees in lemon jelly, wonderful.
lol
I wish those vids didn't take so long to download. I'm going to jump in the shower then come back and watch it.
Ok I watched it.
It's getting awfully close to tea and biscuits, what time you got? Blasted clocks anyway. Dig in, kids.
Am I the only one that noticed a lack of power in the pentatonic scale demonstration? lol
C'mon, kids, drink up then it's off to bed with yince.
Yince is a word that was used by my mother, grandmother and great grandmother (Pennsylvania German), it's akin to y'all in the south.
Muddy

I thought that was what you meant since in Ohio they say you'ns. Pronounced more like yunce.
Yunce is actually a variation of yince or vise versa I've noticed, sometimes it sounded like they (mother/grandmother) were saying yince and sometimes it sounded like yunce. I speak in past tense because they are dead. I find it rather peculiar that you'ns would be pronounced yunce..
you sure them Ohioan Germans ain't got some Dutch in 'em or some damned thing? lol
Apparently a tree was substituted as a celebration symbol by the early Germans in opposition to the nativity at Christmas, and is where our current Christmas tree tradition arose from, oddly enough. Evidently the early Germans were the first to decorate a tree on Christmas.
Black eyed chick pees in lemon jelly, wonderful.
lol
Someone say black eyed peas? :sqbiggrin:

That is an important song.
I'm sure that it doesn't seem it to most.
I'm one that has never really been able to just let it all go. I think something of that nature would be required on the dance-floor, for example.
