the double apostrophes maybe? :lol: I'm usually drinking a beer of an evening. I'm rarely drunk, but I can't type sober.....

Oh God, the body. It really lets you down once you get past 45. It's a challenge not letting it sink that 'young-at-heart spirit.

A few years back I got a birthday party invite using those words. It was more recently I realized they were supposed to sound the same except for the first letter! About the time I realized object in the mirror are closer than they appear was also a rhyme. :rolleyes:

Well I'm happy to report that I did not wake up this morning to find that I needed to tuck my tits into my waitband. I've done nect to no exercise this week though and my legs are itching for a bike ride or run, but it's hot and sticky today and I have other stuff i really should get done. like returning the tables to the pool for the swim meet tonight. Somehow this week blew by and all of a sudden they're panicking and looking for the tables.

I don't quite understand this Britism, using of like that. Jake Thackray uses it in "She also talks without stopping to me in our bed of a night;"

Can you 'splain me it?

monster 09-23-2010 12:15 PM

nope :) Is it a Britishism?

monster 09-23-2010 12:16 PM

maybe it means in the time belonging to the evening?

ICUB4T ... A-OK!

In our small-town paper there's always a "Lordy Lordy Look Who's 40." An old friend (may he RIP) wanted to put one in at Christmas, with a pic of Jebus, and write "Forty Forty Look Who's Lordy."

Well, you and Jake Thackray are the only people who I've heard use it.

Around here (practically New England) There are some odd regionalsims like
"He's over to so and so's house" instead of "He's over at so and so's house"

and the disturbing use of "Heighth" rather than "Height"

monster 09-23-2010 12:32 PM

that is disturbing

Shawnee123 09-23-2010 12:34 PM

Weird. The same guy I just posted about up yonder would call the house for my husband and say "Is ____ to home?" He did it as a joke, he didn't usually say that.

The forties are the best, enjoy! :thumb:

Women. Their 40s. Two words: sexual prime.
