HOORAY! Oh, thank you, Lord! Pib is up!
Fairportfan said, 10 months ago

Oh, look - it’s up!
Lampblack said, 10 months ago

Yay! And Dru is headed straight for hell. She shall not pass “Go.” She shall not collect $200. But she SHALL pull Pib’s fanny out of the fire.

The Old Wolf said, 10 months ago

Oh! Oh! It’s up, huzzah!

And Drusilla finds a new entrance to Hell… why didn’t I think of the Shadow of Scartaris in Sneffelsjokull?
Sisyphos said, 10 months ago

Down the cone of Erebus, into the realm of the dark lord Hades!

I think it was ccdesan’s fervent prayer that did it.

Gatekeeper: “I’m afraid I cannot let you enter.”
Dru, “I don’t want to enter; I’m just here to tell you you have 2 minutes before all hell, er, heaven, breaks loose”
Chuck Clay said, 10 months ago

Perhaps I should not have brewed it before making the offer??

The Old Wolf said, 10 months ago

She’s still got her Major Mojo goin’… I wonder if that’s going to be a permanent feature? You know, kind o’ like Obélix qui est tombé dans la marmite étant petit? XD

I suppose taking the volcano would be easier than punching her own hole.
Mikkail said, 10 months ago

I love the loop before the final dive - totally unnecessary, and totally style!
ejcapulet said, 10 months ago

For those who are drinking their tea as opposed to smoking it, I got “bo ba cha” (8 treasure tea) it’s soothing and it tastes divine!

Mark and Manly? Umm………… :)
wndrwrthg said, 10 months ago

The overture to Rick Wakemans “Journey to the Center of the Earth” plays well for this.
Sisyphos said, 10 months ago

Groan! I gotta get up and go to the dentist this morning! –‘night, all!
ejcapulet said, 10 months ago

9CWL, Mark isn’t “manly”, Of course, anyone who could be compared to Figure Skating Barbie would have difficulty being macho.
Gweedo Murray said, 10 months ago

Ah ! The very prescient fairpot (:-o) knows my question before I ask.

Oh No СÖϽ !! Our ‘hot’ plate’s come unplugged

I see the server has been acting up again.
Fairportfan said, 10 months ago

As i said on yesterday’s comment, while we were thinking of all the shades of grey that we could, regarding 9CL: “to roger” is an old British term for that which is more recently inelegantly referred to with a woord beginning with “f”, and, of course, any thesaurus will tell you that “jolly” and “gay” are at least related words…
WiGuy said, 10 months ago

Interesting point, fairportfan, could there also be a veiled reference to men at sea for long periods of time without female companionship? Or, I could be way off base.
WiGuy said, 10 months ago

oops….grammar fading….eyelids drooping….must sleep now.

G’nite all.

Um - I think that’s Fujiyama, not Erebus.

For reasons of international sensibility can our US cousins please remember that certain words in the US English mean rather different things here in the UK. Fanny Pack and Bum Bag are the same thing. Fanny is NOT the same thing as in the US at all!!!!

Yours prudishly….

So is the economy.

Perhaps Dru is going to “stimulate” it!!

@GEE1A, “Nora Batty” as in the British comedy “Last of the Summer Wine”?
Moe A. said, 10 months ago

‘Morning all.
Ah, a re-descent into Heck….
Tom apparently had some plans for Pib, and Dru will attempt to Torquemada-them.
Okay, okay, I know it was a bit of a stretch.
Hey seriously: those of you in the States, particularly in the Eastern Central section, please stay safe today and tomorrow…. wicked bad icing conditions.
(“Wicked” of course being the archetype Bostonian amplifier).
Cantabrigianally yours,
MOE

Free associating after reading all of your posts from yesterday (I SO respect the Joint and Several IQ’s here):
Q: What’s transparent and dies of poison?
A: Schroedinger’s Cat-Scan
Sorry, I really MEAN it this time.

Why does Dru leave a Contrail?

Can you point us to a site with an English US to English UK translator?

Just curious is all.

stuntman200 - If Pib’s US fanny gets pulled out of the fire, doesn’t her UK fanny come along with it?
paciii said, 10 months ago

Ah. morning Pibgorn updates!!
(Yawn, stretch)
I think Dru chose that route to “warm up” before the big event…

Most of the little words I am aware of have just come out through useage and mutual incomprension. However I have just had a look on google and these have come up:

http://www.accomodata.co.uk/amlish.htm - seems ok but by no means authoritative or comprehensive. The next one seems a bit more useful and has a number links onward … http://www.bg-map.com/us-uk.html.

America and Great Britain have been described as two nations divided by their comon tongue. The first I was aware of this was a version of a the bible in which Jesus decribes a poor down and out as a “bum” something that I would say is extreemly insulting in the UK (or certainly seemed so when I was 8) and quite naughty as it refered to a rude bit of your anatomy (fanny if you like!). ANy way it all seemed rather strange and odd to me. My serious faux pas was when in Boston, asking an american pastor for a rubber when I was actualy after an eraser….!

My own experience is that the the “best” way to find out what is what is to make the mistakes, offend, appologise and sail on through!!!
r80 said, 10 months ago

Dear GARRULOUS:
We are happy to oblige. In the interest of promoting improved communication with our very special British friends please review these few:
Mooning: (This involves an automobile) Special greeting reserved for folks such as high-end politicians, Managers at CitiBank or the Archbishop of Canterbury. In California they may call this “Browning Out” despite a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Noogie: Gesture of frienship involving the 2nd knuckle of the middle finger applied to either the Noogie-ee’s skull or shoulder, depending on neighbothood standards or how high you can reach. Although this gesture is a high form of flattery it is not recommended at airports.
Wedgie: (Not to be confused with Wodewick or Weginald) An even higher form of admiration we usually reserved for outgoing Presidents, recently impeached Governors or any on-air personality of CNN or FOX
News. The women seem to be especially fond of being on the receiving end of this for unexplained reasons. May have something to do with the invention of the “thong”.
Please, would you mind sharing some similar British jargon in the interest of promoting improved communication?
T/Y and have a great day

Signing off for now, please the ginger biscuits and English breakfast tea by the confusion couch.
TiggerLeBounce said, 10 months ago

Herbal tea is good! And I brought coffee cake to go along with it!
uniquehorn said, 10 months ago

Let the fireworks begin. Tom better have his asbestos undies on because Dru’s back in town and she’s miffed!
kcboomer said, 10 months ago

The volcano could also be Vesuvius, or Etna, or New Krakatoa, etc.
Fairportfan said, 10 months ago

It’s not Etna or Vesuvius - i’ve flown over both at relatvely low altitudes, and lived on the lower slopes of Etna for a year. (During which time it was the most active in seventy-five years, though it was even more active a few years later.) And if it were either, also, there’d be a city between it and the water.

It’s also definitely not a Hawaiian volcano; the lava there is too liquid to make such a classic cinder cone, like Fuji.

I suspect it’s Mt Whatever-Brooke-Wants-To-Call_it, a previously undiscovered volcano.
