May the hooks of a thousand lines pierce your tyres.

May all fifty million sheep jump once on the spot, and your islands sink into the sea.

Speaking of... Today's wwftd is "habromania". Y'all suppose tsuwm reads this thang sometimes?

Dear musick: I got a different idea of tsuwm's "habromania". I would define it as
compulsive gaiety. I don't know enough TV people to say which one of them
might be so described.

Luciferous logolepsy says "extreme euphoria".

Ta mate. Anything more gushy in the way of expressions of gratitude and a certain velocipiscine will be hoeing into the honey soy.

hoeing into the honey soy

Is this a bit like "digging up the dirt" only more gloopy?


Cycled through a teeny bit of wet tar the other day - it took more than two days to dry and left indelible stains on my high-visibility jacket. I wasn't impressed.
Still, could have been a lot worse if I'd cycled through a pile of feathers afterwards.

Ah! As in "honey soy keema lupins". One of the first ever examples of cross-cultural cuisine, I believe.
