Oh, really? I can see the headlines now. He Was A Quiet Man. Gave His Guests Grits. But He Was Such A Nice Neighbor.

We want scary stories, right now. The really scary story will be The Grits Experience. If we don't hear from Alex within 24 hours we'll know that something terrible has happened to him and it will have had something to do with grits. We'll send a posse. We are kidding. Sort of. Listen...

I could give you great gobs of lists here but - for quick and easy one-stop information, may I direct you to www.puppeteers.org. The Puppeteers of America, Inc. 26 Howard Avenue New Haven CT 06519-2809 USA They can provide and/or direct you to anything and everything, resources, etc...

You're welcome. The primary ingredient in maple syrup is water, so just cook it way way down first over very low slow heat. By the way, I enjoyed your Sinter Klass story. Hope I spelled that correctly. :attitude:

Can you tell us the story? I've not heard of this, it sounds good. And, did you survive the grits? Inquiring minds want to KNOW. :attitude: Are you guys getting any snowflakes? I know Tennesse did, and N.C., with more to come. We're due for 1-2 feet, excellent.

Sounds like a Charlie Brown Christmas. That counts as a Yay, trees that hold themselves together. :sympathy:

Oh, lest we forget - you could and can also be imprisoned and/or bumped off for criticizing your government. Just one of the nifty little extras of Communism. :attitude: Let's go shopping now.

Isn't it though? :concern: Communism was a half-baked theory that fell into the Looks good on paper, seemed like a good idea at the time category. In practice, most everybody other than government members was poor and you had to ask your government, take a number, and wait...

What ??? Wow, I'm glad we don't have these in Connecticut or Massachusetts. That's positively frightening. Or, more accurately, negatively frightening. We do have lots of traditional triangular Yield signs in all the right places. In Massachusetts everyone honors them. In Connecticut no...

I think I know what you mean. Corn is both singular and plural, deer, etc. Yet when someone is dear to you, and many are dear, they are dears. I love the English language. It's so flexible. It's better for you that you don't have corn syrup in Europe. Maple syrup if cooked down will...

My son has been named Kevin all of his life but people continually call him Brian. I have no explanation for this. Your childrens' names are just beautiful. :cool:

Central air ??? Wow, that threw me for a second. It's 22 degrees here. Lots of snow coming tomorrow, can't wait. Ask Alex, please, how much snow they get in Scotland? I'm going there someday, to soak it up, and to look up my ancestors in the boneyards. Actually, I think I still have...

People who do not gratuitously put down my country and we in it. That's a Yay. (I'm a little testy right now due to another thread elsewhere on this forum, what can I say.) Back to cheerful stuff. Dr Seuss books are a major yay for me. :attitude: :cool:

It will behoove one to note that the first jibe sank in and registered immediately, as evidenced by our instantaneous response, and did not necessitate a week's worth of thought. Additional jibes are duly noted within moments and deemed unseemly at best. They are also quite a downer...

Drops, at least here on East Coast, U.S.A., are small hard candies (choking hazards) such as lemon drops, etc. Also cough drops. In colonial U.S., licorice was your dentifrice. The dried twigs of it, not the candy, you fanned out the ends and brushed your teeth with it. Use dark corn...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christm . . . Pick on America Week. :attitude: :attitude: :attitude: :attitude: :attitude:

Cool, take us with you. Send good stuff. To us at MC. :cool:

We have eight Berlins, in: Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota and Pennsylvania. There is also a Berlin Heights in Ohio, a Bagdad (without the h) in Arizona, and did you know that Belgium is not in Europe but Wisconsin. Good luck with...

Snow.

For a real reading challenge, go over to Henson Headlines, the Oxford Dictionary thread. Which is worth reading anyway.
