Hmmm! I’d think, “New addition to the Meggs household!,” except that he’s far too large to be smuggled back to town in a backpack. Guess I’ll have to wait like everyone else.
Please permit a small digression from the subject, just have to tell someone about this:
In doing some work around the place yesterday it seems I got a blob of paint on the end of my nose. Later, at the supermarket, the checkout lass said, “Do you know you have a spot of paint on your nose?”
I replied that I didn’t but if she whistled the tune I might pick up the melody.
She said, “I can’t whistle but why do you want me to whistle anyway?”
“It’s just a joke.”
“What’s funny about asking checkout staff to whistle?”
Perhaps it’s time to consider whether the constant beep beep beep to indicate barcodes are read successfully is ruining young lives.
Ok, ok, back to monsters, maybe this one could whistle a paint blob song as well as talk.
Frank: Yep, so do I. I just said a mental, “Duhhhh!”
If I had texted her she would have called the manager. I tell ya mate, the world’s gone balmy.
DryCula: We have a hackneyed joke here in Australia about whoever our Prime Minister is at the time, walking down the street with a monster on their head. We stop them and say,”Hey, that looks nasty”.
The monster replies, “Yes, I’ll say it is and it just started out as a wart on my behind.”
She’s probably never seen a Rat Pack movie.
It was an old joke with jazz musicains;
“Do you know…?”
“Hum a few bars & I’ll fake it.”
Also;
“How do I get to Carnegie Hall?”
“Practice, man, practice.”
ChukLitl: Yes, I know, it’s the oldest gag in the world. First heard it from a retired jazz musician who was a master at what he called ‘The Snappy Catch Answer’. Couldn’t have a serious conversation with him, he had a way of misunderstanding almost every word.
Ok, ok, we know jazz musicians never retire but this one had ceased playing full time with a very well-known band and taken other employment.

yup “bear” looks a bit like Magilla Gorilla but also a bit like “Bigfoot” to me
usfellers over 13 years ago
DryCula: Yes, just vaguely remember Magilla Gorilla, he was sort of benevolent too, wasn’t he. A bit like ‘Tough But Tender Tex”.
Meggsiefan: Ahah, so you have seen Bigfoot!

You have it right about ol’ Magilla Gorilla, Usfellers.
Starlillies, but that is a good age to be showing when you can remember stuff like that! :^)
