and the funnies posts always involve animals
(CK is one reason for that-- he seems to have been born with an urban heart deep in the county-- how else could you explain his adventures with sheep!)

Oh, yeah, and an interest in the specific vocabularies used by all these topics!

Kulcha--ah, yes. I have learned so very much here that I had never known or dreamed of, from all you fine people--the most recent undreamed-of one was jibbing a dong--or something like that. (HI, F-babe! Good to see you back--and you, too, ladymoon! ) I have learned that there is just something about New Zealanders...and Aussies, too, but in a different way. I have learned some of the weird names that Brit-speakers have for things...
Just an amazing experience, all the way around. Thank you all!

Dear lady, that has got to be one of the most enigmatic and potentially inflammatory statements ever posted on this Board. Would you care to explain, just a teensy-weensy little bit about what you mean?

I knew you'd like that, CK! I see that you perceived my intent perfectly. (Sorry, musick, for trespassing on your "Enigmatic and potentially inflammatory" gig. I'll back out of it now.) My Dear CK, I only meant that you-all have that...je ne sais quoi... <EG>
