OK. I keep beeing intrigued by this quiz.
Mabbogtebby's nr. 4. and 5.
I got some good help for this one and I don't know if it is completely right.
4. I would say: b is d turned backwards (but maybe MadDog was in his cups here?)Is it : b is drunken d?
5. : or should that be 'd' is 'b' backwards.
BTW I'm looking for the Gallant Ted wrap up paper everywhere , but all I can get is paper with the kidnapped and commercialized Pooh-Pooh.

Having worked with children with dyslexia, I have a different insight into the b/d p/q business. Perhaps the expression "mind your p's and q's" had something to do with typesetting, and being wary of easily comfused letters.
Oh qooq! A qox uqon it.

Mabbogtebby! I do perfectly well understand what you say and you always greatly amuse me. Honest.
I just don't understand all these WIKIPEDIAPHILES here that don't want to say "mind your pints and quarters" , which is what I perfectly understand beeing of general good breeding myself.
I can't understand how a cute Christmas doggy that stole Santa's hood can give such a cold link for an answer in stead of 4
words.
And I appreciate all the trouble you took to make those quizzy lines
+ the effort to mix up the b's and the d's.
Here's to you and your Bear friends. A Free round!
(It's that all these Wikipedestrians have gotten so lazy they can't solve all of your riddles and don't want to say so.)

Howye fokes! How is things?
Lissen, us Teds is fierce sorry about the typen error what should, a course, have been 4 legs good, 2 legs bad. Poor Albear Camoo is so ashameda himself that he's run away from home fer ta join the Legionbears. We've a long night a worry ahed a us fer sure.
Well, what can I say cept that at tragic times like this we'll be lashen out the 1 Our Father and 3 Hail Mary's fer our troubles. Ya see, as I pinted out in me intro a week or so back, some a the questions were cultural and the above remedy applies ta most woes round hear.
So I hope that puts a eclipse on the ellipse cos them dots was just a link fer ta help ya with the next question and there was nothin fancy smancy intinded.
Have ta go now and rescue me little pal before drownden in the New Year.
Be seein ya

Howye fokes! How is things? Lissen, tucks a ye have been writen in bursten ta know how MadDogTed got himself thrung back in ta Borstal fer Bold Bears fer ta avoid payen all his mounten dets. Ya see, this was a fierce tricky feet fer him ta pull off fer sure, cos if the innocint little fella was caught re-committen any a his old crimes again, the Judge swore that he’d throw away the key and me little pal would be locked away fer good.
So MadDogTed had ta come up with a new crime fer ta committ fer ta be committed, but after days and nights a sitten beyont in Slasher’s thinken and drinken he couldn’t come up with nothin. Well, on the fifth day Mr Slasher’s Aunt Maud offered fer ta wash his thinken-cap fer him, cos at this stage it was mank from the mush that me poor little pal’s brain had turned inta with alla the pointless ponderen.
Anyways, while they was waiten fer it ta dry out, Auntie Maud was tellen MadDogTed about the grate book she was readen on the Lives a the Saints and how alla the Saints are now big inta the internet and that they do be sellen miricles on ebay and everythin. Well, MadDogTed had no spare cash fer ta be buyen miricles offa the internet so he mooched dejectedly back ta the drawen board. But then, didn’t he spot this drawen pin gleemen at him.
And fokes, it was then that he mirically seen the light and came up with one a his best plans ever. He took a few photysnaps a the drawen pin and stook it on ebay fer ta sell, claimen that it was the very pin what St Bridget herself used fer ta hang up the very furst St Bridget’s Cross on the very Gates a Heaven themselves. A course, he knew well that when St Bridget was doen a spotta saintly surfen she’d spot that this was a proper scam alltagather, so me wily little pal just sat back and waited fer the consequenses.
And sure enuff, a few days later the Judge done him fer the new crime a tacks fraud.

Sorry I have to make a twin post again , but it suddenly dawns on me considering MadDogTed's lifestyle, that there could be a connection between the saviour of William the Conquerer and MDT. Don't know yet how, but sure a lot the unemployed bards and story-tellers must have crossed the Irish sea.

Howye fokes! How is things? Isn’t that global warmen lark just terrable alltagather? We’re all goen ta fry, I'll tell ya. Ya see, the temperature is risen cos a alla them greenhouse gasses, and there’s a big huge hole in the ozone layer, and soon the earth will be roasten alltagather and the seas will be risen and we’re all goen ta be drownded in our beds.
And the worst thing is that fer years everyone blamed the carbon dioxide emmissions from alla them big huge cars fer the catastrafee. But the grate news, brought ta ya exclusively by Ted, is that ya can hould onta yer SUV Missus, cos all along it was the cows what was doen the damage. Ya see, methane is one a the main greenhouse gasses, and after a good feed a the grass doesn’t the cattle beyont in the field be emmitten fierce amounts a this silent but violint gas in ta the unsuspecten atmosphere. And then, alla this wind gets trapped inta the stratasphere and it gets fierce windy alltagather and storms do be bellowen up all over the place. Or somethin like that.
Anyways, the bottom line is that as worldly citizins of Mammy Earth, we’re all goen ta have ta think offa a way ta get them cows ta change their diets. Chicken nuggets might be an option, but with the loomen threat a the bird flu and and the fact that some a them bovine types are fierce fussy eaters alltagather, this may not be the best solution. Ya could always insist that they take a couple a antiacid tablets after each grassy meal, but as the have four stomachs a piece this might prove ta be fierce costly alltagather. And besides, I know meself that some cows don’t like ta be doen the drugs.
A course, I meself think the best option is ta make good use a alla them idle bull bars on yer four wheel drives and just go in and plough the lot a them mooey windbags away. Then ya’d really be doen somethin ta help the enviromint.
Be seein ya

Gee! G-Ted That's is a serious kind of a shock you gave yesterday. Kept me real puzzling these two days. For two years I thought I'd done the right thing giving my car to my son's family and taking the bike. With good bikebags that 's easy to do on a daily basis and it's good for the environment, the fresh air and the heartbeat in general. So I thought.  But for the heavier loads and two years older I was just thinking about finding me an oxen-cart I could parc on a little piece of suburb land. Now you are condemning the cow ! The bovines ! So what do I do now? A donkey ? Goat ? Don't think so ..... if you are quite quite sure about your discovery. Rabbits? Two dozen or so? Nay, all grass eaters........  Leaves me the DOG . (big one)  But I'm not to fond of dogs as a pet and dogs are as sacred in this overpopulated country as Zeeboos in India. I would be lynched if they caught me with a dog pulling a cart. You' ve put me in a precarious position, cause there's another little problem. I love cows.

Many folks don't realize it, but in King Arthur's time quests for the holy grail were not actually the sole province of men. This is the obscure story of Lady Pamela, who grabbed sexism by the horns and cast it down.
As he got older, Arthur had realized that he was having a difficult time keeping track of which knights were out on a quest and which had signed themselves onto the waiting list. So he had a scroll created to remind him. One fine day he learned that Sir Humphrey, his most impecunious knight, was in a peck of trouble. Sir Humphrey could not afford a charger, Dodge or otherwise), and got around the country on a cart pulled by a goat, hence he was popularly known as Sir Humphrey Goatcart.
Humphrey, it seems, had been captured by a fierce and immortal dragon which had wounded him grievously and then confined him to the nether reaches of a cave. The dragon intended to slow roast Sir Humphrey the next time hunger pangs struck. So Arthur called for the keep of the scroll.
"Who is the next knight signed up for a quest?" asked the good King. Upon being told that the next name on the list was actually that of Lady Pamela, he called her into the royal presence.
"Pray explain to me," thundered Arthur, "why your name appears on this scroll."
"Because, Your Magesty, I believe that women can do everything that men can do and I seek to prove it," replied the bold Lady Pamela. After pondering, the King decided to let her go on the quest, perhaps believing that the dragon would take care of this upstart woman.
So Lady Pamela put on her fe-mail and strapped on her trusty sword and set out from Camelot. She soon found the lair of the dragon, chopped off its head, and entered the cave, where she started to bind up Sir Humprey's wounds. Sir Humphrey looked over her shoulder and saw that the dragon had regenerated its head and was ready to pounce upon the woman who was tenderly nursing his wounds. This caused Sir Humphrey to utter those immortal words, "Slay it again, Pam."

Howye fokes! How is things? Lissen, it looks as if I stepped on a few sensitive hooves last week when I wrote about how the eaten habits a them cows is responsible fer the global warmen:
Dear Mr. Ted,
Upon reading your ominous comments of last week blaming the cataclysm that is global warming on the unpresumptuous cow, the girls and I had no choice but to call an emergency meeting in the back field whence we passed a motion behooooving us to write to you forthwith, expressing our downright vexation at your uncavalier attitude towards our wholesome eating habits.
“What’s the beef?” “How cud he?” “He’s reached an all time loooow”, I’ll be in a bad moooood all week, now”, “What has he dung?” were just some of the pronouncement which bellowed from from the quivering maws of my deeply wounded companions.
Mr. Ted, although against my cultivated principles, it behooooves me looower myself and remind you of the numerous times we girls had to hastily hoof it up the hills, lest we prematurely expired from the stiffling after-effects of those curried-beans and porter suppers that you and your ursine cohorts seem so fond of. What can I say, Mr. Ted, save that you are an indubitable and unequivocal farce.
Yours sincerely
Miss Harriet Heffer
Dear Miss Heffer
And what can I say, cept that there’s enuff hot air and gas in that most long-windedness a letters fer ta melt at least haff a dozen ice caps and still have enuff steem left over fer ta blow a other hole in the ozone layer. As fer yer passen motions in the back field – too much infermation, Missus, too much infermation.

Dear GallantTed Now that Valentine's Day is over I pronounce the 15 th of Frebruari to be the Day Of The Sacred Cow from now on.This in honor of the domesticated and peaceful ones. Everyone who wants to interprete the meaning of this Day as a celebration of His Four-Wheeled Holiness is totally free to do so and standing in his own rights. BTW, Gallant Ted, the artistic quality of your last somewhat provocative column was as good as ever and of course I laughed. Then I remembered my duty to be thruthful to the Two- Wheeler's Society and my love for cows, specially the Irish free walking ones that so recklessly challenge unsuspicious four-wheelers on country roads. So I had to make the objection. I guess most of this must have come out of MadDogTed's foggy head, preferring barking over booing. I know , he can't help it. Something to do with this little shard of iron in his head (did he run into a car?) Shoot , the other way around. With respect, as ever BranShea

This could have gone to Favorite Phrases as it is from an interesting author, but the subject of it makes it fit in better into this Bear world.
This is one for Mabbogtebby, to upgrade his lightly handicapped bit of self esteem: a little bit of bear lore. Hope he likes it.
And then there was Snuffles .
Snuffles was a bear - possibly - and of sorts. The bear is himself a caricature of animalkind, somehow a giant dog, somehow a shaggy man, an ogre, and also a toy. And Snuffles was a caricature of a bear. Billy Cross tried to explain to them about bears. Billy was an old bear man.
" It is the only animal that children dream of without having seen or been told about. Moncrief by his recall methods had studied thousands of early childhood dreams. Children universally dream of bears, Thahithian children subject to no ursine influence in themselves or their ancestry, Australian
children, town tikes before they ever saw a bear toy. They dream of bears. The bear is the boogerman. Bears live in attics of old childhood houses. Their existance there is not of adult suggestion, but of innate Childhood knowledge.
But here is duality about this boogerman. He is friendly and fascinating as well as frightening. The boogerman is not a story that adults tell to children.
It is the only story that children tell to adults who have forgotten it.
Now the boogerman is also philologically interesting, being actually one of the less than a hundred Indo-European root words. Though Bog has come to mean
God in the Slavic, yet the booger was earlier an animal-man demiurge, and the Sanscrit bhaga is not without this meaning. In the sense of a breaker, a smasher,
it is in the Old Irish bong , and in Lithuanian banga . In the sense of a devourer in the Greek phag , and as one who puts to flight it is in Latin fug.
We have, of course, the Welsh bwg , a ghost, and bogey has been used in the meaning of the devil. And we have bugbear , which rounds out the circuit.
"In many mythologies it was the bear who made the world. After that he did nothing distinguished. It was felt by his devotees that he had done enough."
From : R.A Laffery- "Snuffles" fragment. 1960, from Galaxy. dec. 1960

Anyways, I’m not too busy fer ta go back on me promises and I told ye last week that I’d tell ye all the craic what Peig SoothSayers, the Gaelgoric misfortune teller from them bygone days of yore, and MadDogTed was haven duren the official launch a our new product - Albear Camoo’s “The Insider” – The smokeless tabacco what lets ya smoke inside. Peig was tellen MadDogTed a load a true stories about what life was like back when she was a little girl in the olden days.
One a MadDogTed’s favourites was the story about the little old widda woman what used ta live near Peig and what had ta call out the AI man fer ta service her cow. When he arrived she brung him inta the barn and told him that there was a bucket a water, soap and a towel in the corner fer him ta wash his hands. And then, as she turned ta go she sed “And there’s a hook on the back a door fer ta hang yer trousers.” No codden! And I bet that afterwards himself and the cow would a smoked Albear Camoo’s “The Insider” – The smokeless tabacco what lets ya smoke inside, if only it had been invented back then. Don’t ferget ta order yers taday.
Be seein ya

Howye fokes! How is things? I’m not codden ya, but after 40 days and 40 nights a total abstinince it’s just grate ta be back on the carbon again – us Teds gave it up fer the Lent, ya know. We’re fierce delighted with ourselves fer sure and just can’t wait fer ta get our carbon footprints re-measured so that we can see how much carbon credits we’ve saved up. Not ta mention the amount a sin and guilt we’ve saved ourselves, and we’ve no dout that after this mighty feet a self-denial and sufferen, we’ll be goen straight in ta heaven fer sure when it’s our turn fer ta kick the bucket.
Anyways, we was all beyont in Slasher’s jint celebraten our immaculate virtousness and talken religiously about all things holy when Mr Slasher began tellen us about the sale of indulginces what used ta happen back in the olden days. Ya see, the rich peeple didn’t have ta make any sacrifices or do any penince fer their sins or nothin cos all they had ta do was ta pay a few bob ta Them-What-Were-In-Charge, and then get a receipt fer ta take with them ta heaven when they passed over. I’m not sure meself weather ya was supposed ta write the cheque out ta St Peter or ta God Himself, but suffice ta say it sounded a bit of a ominous system alltagather and after a moments silence we decided ta reflect on this pint fer a while.
Then, after given thanks and praise that the likes a that doesn’t be happenen in this day and age, we settled down ta discuss the main business a the night – weather we’d sell off our saved up carbon credits ta the highest bidder or weather we’d put them towards a long haul flight ta Vegas or somewhere. A course, if we chose the second option then we’d probably have ta pay a big huge pile a carbon tax fer our sins – and whereas we’re all in favour a throwen money at problems fer ta make them go away, we wasn’t sure weather ta write the cheque out ta Mammy Nature or Mammy Earth. Either way, I’m sure both a them could use the money fer ta get a new frock or a new hair-do or somethin, but in the end we decided on the furst option. Apply within if yer interested.
Be seein ya

Ted! Good to see you again.
I made a New Year's resolution to quit giving up things for Lent back in 1962. That was the same year I gave up New Year's resolutions for Lent. I've stuck with both of them for all these years and I don't intend to quit now.

Howye fokes! How is things!
Me pal, Albear Camoo, decided ta take a new direction in his writen and taught he'd try his paw at a bitta the Chick Lit what's all the rage at the minute. His furst novel in this genere called, "A Bad Hare Day", has just been published and is a right hart-renchen rollercoaster ride a emotions alltagather. It's all about a fierce vane Rooster called Roberto what falls in love with Martha, a fierce glamerous Hare what comes from the other side a the chicken wire. Romeo and Juliet was never in it with this pair, I'll tell ya, and things do be goen grand with them alltagather until the fatefull day when Roberto discovers a gray hare in his comb.
The poor fella didn't know what ta do and at furst kep the problem well hidden under his hat. Then after many sleepless nights a dispair he valiantally decided ta get some professional help. It was here that our intrepid hero was intraduced ta the murky world a hair colouren and after a soul destroyen journey through the ups and downs a highlights and lowlights, Roberto soon found himself choosen the harder option a all-out streeken.
Meanwhile, a distraught Martha didn't know what exactly was goen on with her once ardent beau and was haven her own sleepless nights a dispair wonderen if there was somethin the matter with her cos her Roberto seemed ta have a problem goen all the way. It was then that she made the daren decision ta change the colour a her own beautiful tresses. So our intrepid heroine was
also intarduced ta the murky world a hare colouren and it weren't long before she too had reached the all-out streeken phase. But was it enuff fer ta save the tainted passion a our two tint-crossed lovers?
Well, fokes after more hart-renchen sleepless nights a dispair and all that sorta stuff, I've no dout in me furry little mind that ya'll be bursten ta know the final outcome. Now, I don't want ta give too much away at this pint, but suffice ta say that, yes! yes! yes! - they eventually did go all the way and tragically they both dyed in the end.
Be seein ya

And 'twas Paddy the Irish pig who got to the root o' the matter, much to the hare's dis-tress. This led Roberto to suggest that his darlin' hare put on some infusing oil, leading to the rapeseeding of the lock. Paddy thought that was a bangs-on idea, but had trouble getting the other two to beehive themselves long enough to dance the French twist. And he certainly upbraded them about it, the snip.
I hope everyone can follicle this.

After the grate success a MadDogTed’s furst Sick Lit novel, John with the Wind, there was no way that me other literary pal, Albear Camoo, was goen ta be out done and a right battle a lits enscewed as Albear rushed ta get his second novel in the Chick Lit genre published.
His new novel, Ta Fleece a Sheep, is full a passion, intrigue, betrayal and all that sorta stuff and is all about a fierce rich but socially inept Farmer what longs ta be runnen with the In Crowd, but is cursed by the mark a the agricultural wellinton. He desperately tries ta hide his brutally boorish beginnens and bumptiousally makes several attimpts ta launch himself inta high society, but constantly gives his poor breeden away - like the time he bought his way inta a reel fancy card game only ta make a holy show outta himself by spitten on his hands every time a spade was delt.
Anyways, one fatefull night, a fierce mysterious and glamerous woman enters his life and he’s fierce delighted with himself alltagather. But tragically, what our mutton-heded frend doesn’t realize is that she’s really only a washed-out, mutton-dressed-as lamb, gallopen trollop offa gold digger what’s only after his money.
Now, I can’t be given too much more away at this pint, but I’m not codden ya, yer eyes will be glued ta the pages as ya enter this exciten world a thrills, spills, treachery, glitz, glamour, fizzy sheep dip on ice and all that sorta stuff. It promises ta be a grate read alltagather and one ya should definitely pack inta yer suit case when yer goen on yer hollimadays. Which reminds me, if ya have any exter room in yer case fer a few very wordy Teds badly in need offa a brake, please apply within.
Be seein ya

This robin passes by for a good story,GTed.  [like the time he bought his way inta a reel fancy card game only ta make a holy show outta himself by spitten on his hands every time a spade was delt.]  For the Teds: A jar of very exclusive Mimosa Hair Honey. Not sure if they should eat it or put it on their hair/fur. Maybe both, read the label carefully.
