Thanks Kitten, *smiling sweetly with head tipped to one side* do you think maybe you could rustle up a Jellyman too?

I'll just go get my lasso...

Yeehaw!

You must be a pretty talented kitten to be able to use a lasso. Does catching a Jellyman involve riding too, or is the horse part optional?

---

'Who looks after the animals?'

It involves riding, but the horse part is still optional. Most Jellyman lasso-ers prefer to use a sea-snail.

Just so long as you don't bring the peanut butter into it...

Metaphors be with you!

Then how am I supposed to lure him onto the bread?

I'll have one too please kitten - nothing fancy though, just a plain one.
Like the song goes..

...Lure a plain jelly for me

You're showing your age again, Robert.

To which the kitten says "Huh?"

How can you be an Aussie and not know the Aeroplane Jelly song, even as young as you are? I'm shocked.

It was an ad for the jelly, dating back to the 30's. The little girl sang how she 'like it for dinner, I like it for tea', so she was obviously a fairly nutritionally deficient child, aside from being unbearably Shirly Temple cute. My point in my last post was that Robert probably remembers it when it first came out.

We were all in love with that girl on the swing.

OOOOOOH!

Okay, now it's been explained, I can see it, lol.

*sings with exaggerated gusto* Wee'rreee happy little vegemites as bright as bright can be...

---

'Who looks after the animals?'

Some more nutritionally deficient children, what with their vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea. There's only so much vitamin B the body needs, you know!

I remember my nanna telling me to eat up my vegimite coz it was full of vitamins. At the time, I remember thinking that salt must be a vitamin.

Is that a cousin of Vitameatavegemin?



-------------------------
Metaphors be with you!

Vitameatavegemin? Sure, why not. (nods as if understanding the reference)

It's from an old I Love Lucy episode.



-------------------------
Metaphors be with you!

Vitameatavegemin? Is that like an omnivore on vitamin supplements?

Or a vegetarian on meat supplements. Thats what I always claim I am anyway. I'll have to use the word though....
