>I wonder why Basques came to Australia and the US...

Originally they were only exporting them to Canada, but they didn't want to put all their Basques in one exit.

Thanks, Ted. I was tempted to indulge in a little punning in this thread, but your masterful efforts deserve pride of place. I had to mull it over, but in the end I was too coy to flounder around trying to usurp your rightful position as sole punster.

Oh, come on, Max, toss out a few puns, just for the halibut! And don't forget about those city-dwelling Basque sheep dogs, the hounds of the Basque villes.

Did you get that from a Salmon Rushdie novel, or am I fishing for sources? BTW, I used to think I was fish poop, because people used to call me a bass turd.

Welcome back Max. Alluding to your post, does this mean that you don't consider yourself to be a cod-piece?

In reply to:

Was it a Dalmatian?

of Faust


TEd, trying to save our soles, preaches hellfire and dalmatians.

And he said unto them, "Bad dogs, NO! NO!

And they looked at him with wide, innocent gazes and thereby telepathed the thoughts : "Who? Us? What? Why we aren't doing anything! Are you feeling bad? Don't be mad. You know we love you. Let us give you kisses."

Thanks for the welcome, CapK, my absence was forced upon me by a combination of technical woes and a welcome return to gainful employment. I am no codpiece, but I might be the hero of Cross's novel, The Cod Boy. The way this thread is going to the dogs smells distinctly fishy, so much so that I see lycanthropy as a real possibility. Having finally worked that pun into a post, I'm done.
