    Wee = little kiddies Wee = urine and, so often, urine = little kiddies How's THAT for philosophical syllogisms 101? Joyful, not sure if you've had a skin and/or an intestinal biopsy, but what can be said for sure is if you've had a skin biopsy done and it has confirmed DH, you have celiac. OKAY! BACK TO SILLINESS!! QUICK!!...

    I do think so. In fact, they've really stylized him to look like some cute stuffed animal--it's no longer the yeti we know and love. They've absolutely added some hair extensions and air-brushed some fat away.

    Hey, I just noticed something...Is that a tattoo on our yeti's arm?! A tatto of an inukshuk?....mygawd, what have they done to him?...

    Mornin' all! There was an unveiling of sorts up here, and I think I know where our yeti was when he went unaccounted for last week. Looks like he was out west doing some modelling.... Open Original Shared Link Gee, I guess it didn't take them much time to rip the shell bikini off him and get him into snowmobile boots and a tuque...

    Well, hey, hey, now!.....check out MY cadence, stress and metre in my chorus...I'm figgering it's not too off, considering I didn't have the sheet music in front of me (just singin' it in my head).... I KNOW TO WHOM YOU'RE REFERRING!! That's the very Bluesfest I was at, 1992, and the Tibetan diplomat that was part of our entourage kept saying, (in...

    Tom, all I can say is that your versing (n. sing.: written verse, particularly for musical scores) makes every bit as much sense as Dylan's did, or ever has. Just as nutty...more entertaining... "The one that got awa'??".......

    How does it feel? How does it feel? To be in Ottawa? A town with not a flaw, Like we're in Shangri-La, Like, it's Utopia..... LOTS of mumbling needed for this...

    Dunno, but we now have a FABULOUS pair of words to mentally file away and use in our next cocktail party that involves poetry recitation. How often are we sitting, frustrated, muttering, "Geez!! I need a word that rhymes with apostrophe?!!" Happens to me CONSTANTLY. Thank you, Tom! Is THAT what happened? Mygawd, Tom....what kind of a...

    Okay, last one... SamtsirhC eert! Brilliant work, Tom! That is NOT Seuss-ian. It's quite...Celtic, perhaps? All of those consonants clustering...perhaps Middle Eastern? Hmmmm... Plum Polenta Pie....sounds so very English! That must have been a little British kid who stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum.

    Okay...had to put these into THREE separate posts, as I keep getting this "number of quotes does not equal actual quotations" message....gah! Thought I had this multiple-post thing down. Ah, well...gets me closer to 2000...but do I want this?...

    Only Dylan would come up with a line like that...if it's a recent song (the last fifteen years or so), he could quite possibly have been writing about me. Gad, it seems so long ago.....The Blues Festival in Ottawa, I brought a group of my students for an "English in Real-life" field trip...we were right up front, and I scrambled onto a big metal tub to...

    Oh! ....a yellow yeasty yeti...the poor beast. He's got liver issues, now?
  13. elye
    Oh, GAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWD is right....TOO MUCH BODILY FLUID AROUND HERE!! Sarah's dog barf, Susie's dog diarrhea, my dog runny, yeasty earwax...Patti, Allo's remaining fluid free, isn't he? It's only the dogs. Janet, any canine puke or poop your way? Whoa! Splendid alliteration, Susie! Very Dr. Seuss-ish. That could well be a character in...

    I could take him for the week, but he may catch Gus's yeast thing. Can you IMAGINE a yeti full of yeast?!....I wonder if he'd rise?... Oh!! Minds out of respective gutters, people!!

    ...Wow... I'm actually a doyenne of something. This sounds like a mid-wife type of person. No, that doya. Dolie? DOULA!

    OMG...Someone is actually asking me about good GRAMMAR books!! Well... <clears throat>: Grammar In Use, by Raymond Murphy, Cambridge University Press, would have to be my favoUrite for survival English...well laid-out, rules and examples are straightforward. I hear you, Carla. The passive voice is heard constantly in my house, always...

    Tom, you forgot a couple of vital details: Was the pitcher on steroids? How about the batter?
  18. elye
    Yep, you're right...the verb "hit" here is in the simple past tense, and is also in the passive voice. This combination is a pain in the @ss to teach; actually, the passive voice generally is confusing when modifying. Sentences are active when the subject performs an action. They are passive when the subject receives an action or is the result if an action...

    Well? What's the scoop?

    Mornin' all, Amanda, I had a couple of quite raised bumps on my last TB shot, needing to be evaluated. The doc said it was fine...again, swelling from the actual injection. Not to worry! Keep us posted. I do three needles a day, so a TB shot was "ahhh...not ANOTHER one!"

    Hi, Tom! Speaking of avs, I like this latest one of your'n. Kind of a swirly Mondrion. Where's it from?
  23. elye
    I do too, Carla! Makes me walk into mine and want to tear down a couple of walls, paint, replace appliances...you know, just little stuff...
  24. elye
    .....Huh?...... A great, funny story, Joyful, but I had trouble processing after this sentence. Gee, where do you arrange to get parents like those? I WANT A PAIR!

    Okay...I'm excitedly trying this out. I can hardly contain myself... Nikki! This explains it! You are absolutely celiac! Got some symptoms, and you're hilariously funny! Recalling my theory about gluten trouble and wittiness being located on the same HLA gene, I think that one's sense of humour should be a recognised diagnostic tool....
