We have a sufficiency, certainly - but you have a few more words to describe rain, and many more to describe the relative beauty of sheep.

the relative beauty of sheep.
Whoa--incest and bestiality, at one and the same sheep--
I mean, time. Aunt mav, I must say I'm shocked!

Hence the traditional Welsh songs 'Maaaah! He's making eyes at me!' and 'Ewe'll Never Walk Alone'

And if the good lord had not intended farmers to love their livestock, he'd have never invented wellies!

As bestiality has been mentioned, I'm tempted to bring in flagellation and necrophilia, but I'm afriad I might be accused of flogging a dead horse.

>flogging a dead horse

somewhere in the long distant past I saw a movie (I swear), a western, wherein a Mexican lad walks up to a collapsed, exhausted animal and speaks this one line: "Are you dead, horse?" I cannot place this movie, nor do I ever hope to (although it may have had Marlon Brando it it :).

Welcome, Frex!
b96 was looking for a similar thread... well, I hunted down the anti-thread: http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=13548&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5
As for me, I derive untold enjoyment from triptych. Don't get nearly enough opportunity to use that one in conversation.
My small attempt at bringing us back out of the gutter... Shhh, y'all! You'll scare her away!

Nah. Check the website

BTW, are you playing in the Worldwide Sim Pairs competition today, Bex (and Sparteye and tsuwm and other bridge players)?

I realized I was the proud owner of a freckled snout!!!

I immediately thought of the character in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and began to wonder if you also have a freckled Flute, or a freckled Bottom? Gutter police, don't blame me, Shakespeare wrote it!

Boy howdy, wow. I had trouble spelling it that way. It's Ithaca, where the odyssey ends.
