Google Can Read My Mind

Ralphy, perhaps you need to lie down??

 

[Ralphy1]

But I just got up!

 

[Shalimar]

Ok, don't get your manties in a muddle. Lol. Mermaids need a nap. Will return to the lists shortly.

 

[Ralphy1]

What makes you think that I am wearing manties? It is very warm here...

What makes you think that I am wearing manties? It is very warm here...

Yea, and it would be warm with all that fur.

 

[Ralphy1]

Quite right...layful:

 

[SifuPhil]

Phil, what are you smoking/tokin? Will you share??

Oh, I wish I could, but Google just informed me that it is illegal in Pennsylvania. Thank goodness for Google!

I can even go on Google and get answers to questions of dramatic local importance -- like how do armadillos make love!

 

[Ralphy1]

Doubt that how an armadillo makes love could be of much interest except to another armadillo...

 

[Butterfly]

Hey, we get bored out here in the desert. There are even actual, for real armadillo races.

 

[Falcon]

Well, What about porcupines? Lemme know if you find out.

Do they rev them up like we did with those friction cars as kids?

Vroom, VROOM! (rubbing armadillo on the pavement)

 

[Butterfly]

No, you actually blow on them to get them started. An armadillo race is best undertaken after a certain quantity of beer is imbibed -- by the people, not the armadillos.

 

[Ralphy1]

Strange, very strange...

 

[Shalimar]

Blowing on armadillos? HaHaHaHaHaHa? Mercy.

Neighborsgo editor Charlie Scudder blows on an armadillo to get it moving during an armadillo race Nov. 8 at the Shawnee Trail Cowboy Day in Frisco.

 

[Shalimar]

Butterfly, that just may be the funniest thing I have ever seen!! Lollolllol.

Armadillo racing is in about the same category as "Ferret Legging", which for very, very good reasons has just about died out except for a few devoted fans. In ferret legging, the competitors put on thick canvas pants, which tie at the waist and ankles, drop a ferret down the pants and the winner is the one who can tolerate a pissed-off ferret the longest. I think we can assume it won't be an Olympic event anytime in the future, huh?

 

[Butterfly]

Maybe, but armadillo racing isn't painful or hurtful to anyone or anything involved (except maybe to the few spectators who drink too much beer and fall over). Or maybe to the uninitiated who try to handle an armadillo without gloves.

Armadillos are pretty cool little critters.
