I see that the ayleur with one of the most interesting handle(bar?)s is back - FishonaBike, a.k.a. Shona. His is an interesting tail, and I hope that he will tell it again reel soon. In fact, one could (and TEd probably would) say that I am waiting for it with baited breath.

His is an interesting tailNah, it won't tip the scales, Max. Practically without weight, and certainly not worth putting in the ledger. My advice is to spare the rod, as you'd be flogging a dead seahorse on this one. Egad, back on AWAD 5 minutes and I'm already a basket case.   [belated realisation of location] Hi ABC, nice to meet you. You'll get to my story, and a few other secret origins, if you click on this: http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Board=miscellany&Number=7567Feel free to throw in a post of your own, which will serve the purpose of resurrecting the thread...

For the Newcomers who may not be savvy about archives  and how to search them (I still have trouble  Welcome to you all to the more civilized Board on the WWW in my not-so-humble opinion of which I have many! My moniker has two meanings ... pals and acquaintances of all ages call me Wise Old Woman, somtimes meaning it sometimes as a means of bringing me back to my senses! For the second meaning just turn wow upside down.  wow

re Fishonabike
I had been wondering about your handle and am somewhat relieved to know the reason (visited your site for further info - thanks for the effort).
Why was I a bit funny over it? Well, being the good little "PC" person I am, thought it best not to say anything.............coz round these parts "A fish on a bike" has strong lesbian connotations!! Gloria Steinern's quote "Women need men like fish need bicycles" was EVERYWHERE in the mid to late 70's in Sydney - on bumper stickers, protest placards (eg at pro-abortion rallies) and screamed by those of the burnt bra set.
(BTW - If you wanted to set up a commercial website for the Australian lesbian community I doubt there'd be a better name for it!!)

Yet Another Rehashed Topic .. it does happen, and it is sometimes to the good when new "talkers" join the conversation.

stales remembers: Women need men like fish need bicycles
The way I remember it is: A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
My rework was: A man without a bicycle is like a woman without a fish.
Seems logical to me.
I'm still trying to complete the line: Invert the subdominant _________.
Taradiddle doesn't quite hack it but that's the best I've gotten so far.
