And thank y...Dear Stephanie, you are most welcome. And thank you for your kind comment!<BR/><BR/>Dearest Coxon, it's wonderful to see you back in action. And I'm heartened that you're still talking to me, despite my Dylan and Idlewild heresies. Coming on top of my past Radiohead admission, I thought you might just have disowned me...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Marcy, you are most welcome to drop by for a cuppa cocoa whenever. As for the plant, it's a fig tree. The house we live in is somewhat oddly configured - it has a small internal garden/atrium just inside the entrance. But it is lovely to have a bit of the outside inside.<BR/><BR/>Dearest Ash, the black dog is an unwelcome cur that comes over, curls up on my soul, and weighs it down, down, down. He's also rather furry and warm, which can lead me to let him stay far longer than is healthy. These days when he comes sniffing around I try to scare him away before he has a chance to work his depressive doggy voodoo. And for you, my dear, of course I'll brew a cup of freshly ground Sumatran coffee. I fear I have no peppermint schnapps, though you are most welcome to a lovely dram of whisky.<BR/><BR/>Dearest T, I did manage to beat the dog away. I stayed mindful and did not let him curl up on me.<BR/><BR/>Dearest WAF: Yes, Little Man went as that famous Scots pirate, Blackie McArrr. And your comment reminded me of that song by the Bollocks Brothers, "Count Dracula, Where's Ya Troosers?"<BR/><BR/>Dearest Rachel, so are you, my dear!<BR/><BR/>Dearest Tim, what, you too on the schanpps? I suppose I'd best get some in then. And I hope your black dog isn't the same breed as mine...<BR/><BR/>Dearest Mentok, thank you for figuring out my coded message. That scurvy dog Winston Blackmore left his Sony Vaio unattended briefly and I was able to post. However, I am now halfway across the Pacific as the Polygamists are heading for Korea in an attempt to hook up with the Moonies. Quite why they took me I'm not yet sure, but I think I overheard them saying something about needing a DJ for some mass wedding. Heck, as long as there's no bouzouki band, I'm up for it...FiLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744819120424789247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1162914622350929162006-11-07T07:50:00.000-08:002006-11-07T07:50:00.000-08:00"Black dog" isn't some sort of euphemism, like "tr..."Black dog" isn't some sort of euphemism, like "trouser schnauzer", is it?<BR/><BR/>After frequently re-reading and overanaylsing this post, I've come to the conclusion FiL was trying to send us a coded message with the names of TV shows: Dog the BOUNTY Hunter; Star Trek Voyager, where the ship is lost in the DELTA quadrant. <BR/><BR/>Bountiful and Delta are both place names in BC. Delta is a port city. Then he mentions a "Black Dog". The name of a ship, perhaps? That would fit with the Voyager reference, since it is also set on a ship. Likewise, the "pirate" clue from the picture suggests a ship of questionable registry.<BR/><BR/>So I conclude that FiL has been kidnapped by radical polygamists from Bountiful who have stowed him aboard a ship called The Black Dog that departed from Delta. <BR/><BR/>Since the rest of you so-called friends of FiL's were asleep at the switch on this one, heaven knows how far the kidnappers have gotten by now. <BR/><BR/>The Mounties will be no help on this one, since everyone knows horses are afraid of water, and the Canadian coast guard is on tour at the West Edmonton Mall, so we're out of luck there too.<BR/><BR/>We'll just have to sit back and wait until the kidnappers send us their demands. If it's cash they want, I'm in for a finn myself for starters ;-)Mentokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011803235817936664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1162910182354645192006-11-07T06:36:00.000-08:002006-11-07T06:36:00.000-08:00I'd like peppermint scnapps too.Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!...I'd like peppermint scnapps too.<BR/><BR/>Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!<BR/><BR/>My black dog says hello to yours.Tim Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231767862560830881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25690029.post-1162696586017457792006-11-04T19:16:00.000-08:002006-11-04T19:16:00.000-08:00You are something special.
