a well-proportioned female, said faldage in a time long ago and a place far away.
amusing this is,
but more amusing than a female well-proportioned is it?
subject changed wisely have we?
Edit: or concepts combining are we of females constructed outhousely and inverted yoda-esquely?

In reply to:
you could tell if it had been a very cold night because the pee would freeze.
He may not have been kidding. I remember travelling by car from Lancaster to London one very cold winter and stopping at a petrol station to fill up the petrol tank and go to the loo, and the dregs in the urinals were frozen over.

yeah, I knew it was Jackie...  so, do you think I should share who the scandalous original post to me was from? [whistling jauntily] And Yoda, I'm with you, bro - apart from some aberrent Merkin usage the BS phrase of course refers to a bruising alpha male built for battle

I don't care, DM. [blowing kiss e] Um--let's see, I have lately posted about trays, tea breaks, and purposely/purposefully; again, what sorts of word posts is it that I "owe"? I hope you don't mean information-giving,
'cause compared to most folks here, I don't know nothin'.
Oh--just got inspired to make one--let's see, we're even in the right category. Here, we use the shortened-term "demo"
primarily to refer to things. That is, if you tell me your new car was a demo, I know it was one they had let prospective buyers drive. But a Brit-speaker friend uses it to mean people demonstrating, as in, "There was a demo near downtown this afternoon". Is that common, over there?Or even elsewhere in the U.S.?

That's an interesting one Jackie. I suspect there is also an age factor at work: demo could well be 'a popular demonstration', but it is redolent of the sixties for me. Otherwise I would tend to hear it as 'a demonstration' of how something worked, an exemplar. But I'll be so glad to get the car I won't care if it's *your kind of demo  and sorry I am for the other, F!

I believe that "demo" is used to describe an audition tape made by musicians to send to prospective producers. If Musick is still around, he could advise.

yes, that's true Bob - I used to get hundreds of tapes sent to me to audition acts for a theatre, and we always referred to them on the phone as "demos".
