I wish someone would leave me an interesting nic in their will...

<quickly hangs barrels of white wine around dogs' necks, before dogs leave with Violetmoon>

<hands geg Camembert and, reluctantly, parasol>

<watches birds of ill repute>

Offers MC Lemon and Paeroa and hokeypokey in attempt to lighten the mood

Nods thanks to CR.

Mixes dash of Lemon and Paeroa ("L & P - World Famous in New Zealand") to glass of Southern Comfort, adds ice.

Sips, savors.

Recalls grumpy port-drinking relative who when asked, "Do you like L & P?" replied, "Well, I quite liked the 'L'."

Where did all these Yo-yos come from?

Edited to appease Bunyip.

thinks 'yo yo s' left over after last ethnic african american tribe passed by, sometime in 1980s.

thinks of English language and the way it should be spoken and written.

much as Churchill was a man of little to admire he could at least communicate in English

builds surrogate rag-doll of Nixon and associates and sticks crowbars, poisoned darts and anything else most painful hoping to strike all the 'new speakers' who gave us 'ongoing' to replace continuing, continuous, continual, etc.

and 'prioritise'

and rap singers and all of their ilk

all advertising and newspaper reporters and editors for not knowing the language, or worse, bastardising it for playing to the ignorant, of which they number greatly.

goes off unmollified for having ranted

gets beer, drinks same;

gets another beer, drinks same;

gets recursive

trips over parasol and wine keg dropped by perambulating canine

lies in gutter crooning softly........

Sorry Bunyip, what can I say.

It was late.
I was drunk.
I regretted it in the morning.

Besides all other morality seems to have disappeared at this pic-nic, what did you expect to happen?

How odd. I only appear to have one yo.

Yo, Bk! T-shirt of Doom. Ffestival. Thoughts?

Well that explains my yo-yo-yo. Thought I'd lost my mind.

Wait, maybe I did.

<offers dogs' white wine to whoever would like some, the dogs said they weren't much interested and are willing to share>

You see, I start a nice family-friendly picnic and what happens? Crime, sin and yo-yos!

At least the piñata is safe so far.

Admires big donkey pinata.

Brings in another batch of yo-yos and fresh lemon iced-tea

T-shirt of doom is willing and able. And this time, I'll even put the correct amount of stamps on so it can get there, instead of being embarrasingly returned a week later with 'return insuff' scrawled on the packet.

Where am I sending it to?

Can anyone lend me 50¢?
The postie just asked for the 50¢ shortpaid on a misposted T-shirt of doom package.

Also, the bouncy castle seems to have collapsed. Would anyone who is missing a child please report to the Lost and Found tent, between the Yo-Yo display and the Cello Emporium.

Also, the Pie-on-a-stick Purveyors are now offering a free sample Saffron and Sassafras with every 16 oz Scrumpy sold.

Now we have awoken Rip Van Winkle style from the effects of the 2011 picnic ccan anyone tell me why it has cropped up again, or are we organising the 2013 beginning of year picnic?

I have some snags, dubious red wine, steaks, onions, and some vegetables of the salad kind available in my stasis box ready for the big day and all those days afterwards of which are spoken in whispers and have, or will, become the stuff of legend and mythology.

Other than to repeatedly warn new fforum users never to drink the stumpy scrumpy I don't really know what else to do. Be glad we only lost two years this time.

I am at this very moment(whoops...it's gone again, like all moments) a very delicious fractally divided concoction called Lola va Voomsheeza Tart. The recipe will be available at next year's Ffiesta. Meanwhile must try to sieze a moment.

Seize the Monument?

Anything like King of the Castle?

Oops.

Or Caesers Palace?

OR THAT MONUMENT TO ENGLISH GRAMMAR "How to Spell Words Correctly, Win Friends and Influence People"

I went recently to a place of ill repute where one could , for a fee, fondle the staff. It was called 'Seizers' Palace'.


I must have been out of my mind, which is not such a long journey at the best of times.
