Lovely Camino family, but -no elephant!!

Everyone on this thread!

It would become one big slumber party, but we'd need lots of bunk beds...a real albergue in Doha, Quatar!

(tiger picture)

I had a dog that understood the command "Go to ..." and words like door, car and kitchen. One day on TV his attention was grabbed by a tiger. I mentioned "tiger" in a statement to him. He perked up and looked toward a window. For some reason I said it again. He ran to the window, didn't see anything and then to the door. Son-of-a-gun. He knew the name of the neighbor's cat, a pal. I say this because he never did catch on to the command "Go to Peg."

Edit: The dog really loved the cat. The cat, being a cat, could only tolerate the dog.

 

[Camino Chris]

Rick, So nice to see your avatar and witt on the "Not a serious thread". I know you are a busy man waiting on Peg hand and foot, but try not to stay away so long.

Dear NOT a serious thread 2019 - the return,
I'm sorry but the geek in me has had a fling with that floozy Can we please talk kilometres, litres, Celsius, right-side driving, etc.? thread. Will you take me back? It was not serious.

 

[kirkie]

Are you sure, Rick? That made me so scared. Seriously.

 

[Camino Chris]

Rick, I enjoyed that metric thread too. Some of the comments posted reminded me of THIS thread. However, you have been absent for so long that I think the board members will have to take a vote to let you back in. I really, really want you back though...your super dry humor is top notch!

I know Rick, she’s been playing one against the other...me too! Such a brazen huzzy..
It’s the wanderer in me and I feel so unfaithful! Madam metric simply didn’t understand me...(nor me her...she’s so deep sometimes) it was only a passing fancy. A fling. I feel such a fool, l’m grovelling!

 

[Camino Chris]

BB, I'm sure it's a big relief to admit your foolishness and indescretion with Madam Metric and have learned your lesson once and for all. Stay focused as you trot along on the straight and narrow path, blowing wind along the way.

Love this. I have a backpack of my father's that was state of the art back in the day that I could convert to something like this.

I've got to come back. The metric thread give me an ultimatum; to love her or liter.

Rick, I know the problem when you hear the siren call from someone seeking your attention and affections...think what Peg would say! Me, l wasn’t ready for so serious a relationship and longed for the carefree existence. It could never last..we were going in different directions and she (or l )didn’t measure up after all. Infidelity to the “not serious” is such a weight to carry but a bit of geekiness or mischief is never a bad thing!
Absolution and forgiveness from the other members will undoubtedly come your way..perhaps I am beyond redemption

You mean these are real? Are you serious, Rick?

What's the harm in trying?

 

[Marbe2]

It would depend, but we are too polite to ask how much you weigh, @Antonius Vaessen .

Just catching up with this thread in 2019!

Not enough room to walk around hammock between beds but here is an option!

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

You mean these are real? Are you serious, Rick?

It could be real if I find the time but I'm retired and can't find any.

 

[Camino Chris]

BB, no one is beyond redemption, including naughty donkeys!

Never naughty CC...just mischievous in a forum type way!

 

[Marbe2]

Hmmm, I use google now to learn more about what you peeps occasionally talk about. There apparently is a "ribbon of hiway" dance, song...and this, which is the literal version!

And that’s why it’s such thirsty work! Special backpacks required and wonder why it wasn’t levelled?

I hear ya, buddy, it's a hard life indeed. That's why I can only find time to check in on this thread once every two days...I mean minutes!

Burn camino.

slurp....my hard tongue twisted how to pronounce
goodmorning NYC!

 

[Bristle boy]

Burn camino.

Reminds me of the opening questions sent out to applicants for a job by an unnamed firm.
Question 1 was “what is your name?
Question 2 was “how do you spell it?

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Burn camino.

Brilliant.

I can't think of anything to say tonight, but saw this sign on vacation last fall and it gave me a laugh!

I’m always grateful for my bad luck....without it I wouldn’t have any luck at all! Goodmorafnight peeps!

A couple to times we walked 25+km ( for those still confused abt metrics) or 15+
Miles...and felt like this!

Hi folks. I was in a supermarket yesterday and without wifi for translation couldn’t check to find the herb i was looking for. Got the wrong one. A lively conversation ensued when i came home. Point of this: as has been noted before, and you will all, like good remember - there is always room to learn about something new. My new knowledge concerns parsley root. I had never heard of it before. I must look for it when i go home next week. Not a bit unserious, this contribution. But there are two red elephants. In the room.
And thanks to -nyc? ( I am no elephant in the remembering gang)Ozy was jealous so had to post this.

Just posted this because sometimes the “devil” comes out in me! When perusing the vegetable and fruit section of the supermarket and there is a parent with young children within earshot I say, as if talking to myself, “ I think I’ll have an ah..vah ..kah..dooo” and watch their faces discretely.

 

[yaying]

Fascinating documentary on BBC4 last night - the changing role of the guitar over the last 60 years fronted by Patti Smith's lead guitar player Lenny Kaye.

Duane Eddy is still alive! So is Roger McGuinn who explained how adding a Bach intro and clipping Dylan's Mr Tambourine Man down from 6+ minutes to less than 3 essentially launched the Byrds' career.

 

[Camino Chris]

Yaying, what is this? I love avacados, (my 2nd addiction after the camino forum), but what is all that white stuff stirred in? Is it lumpy sugar? Not sure!

 

[Camino Chris]

I loved the song "Turn, turn, turn" when I was a teen. It now always reminds me of the movie "The Graduate", which for me will always be a favorite as I loved Dustin Hoffman's role. My dad thought the theme was was too "racey" for a teenager and I wasn't allowed to see it at the theater...my how times have changed!

Edit- This post is not a not serious, nor is it serious...not sure what I'd call it!

The Spanish class was good, not that I learned so much new stuff but I had a lot of conversation practice, which was great. It was quite a jolly bunch of people and every night we went out for dinner or tapas-crawl with vino tinto and night cap(s). The weather was fine with mostly sunshine and around 20 C in the daytime, so in between had some nice walks in the mountains just behind the city. I returned home with a tanned face to snow and freezing temperatures –shock!

(Ten cuidado con los dedos! )

In answer to a @kirkie post elsewhere: Peg's own creative writing certificate was given to her by me. A sweatshirt with this on it:

Hooked on Phonetics was a reading program that didn't work for everyone. I don't know how the programme could possibly work for British English readers.

 

[Camino Chris]

I thought Peg was a lucky gal with you deadheading all the flowers in your garden...now I'm not so sure.
I think @Robo still takes 1st place as far as hubbies go since he carries around that rice cooker on the Camino...and you are a distant 2nd. Especially since I recall that time you were hiking in the White mountains after dusk, leaving poor Peg at the bottom of the mountain to think you were in serious trouble...seriously!

British English? What is this British English of which you speak?

In the land where the word ghoti is a phonetically way of spelling fish 'tis simply known as English (ie, we "invented" it, we get to set the rules)

Sorry, I thought it was the Germans and French speaking Vikings.

Sorry, I thought it was the Germans and French speaking Vikings.

Good grief no! English vocabulary is 50% Germanic, 50% French the rest is made up of Latin and whatever words we managed to steal over the past 900 or so years.
The rules are entirely home grown and hence the reason why chairs are not feminine, beds are not masculine and we never have to remember whether to use der das die die den das die die des des der der dem dem der or den* when we want to say the word "the" (unless we are learning German or re-learning in my case and it isn't any easier the second time around!)

Esperanto is much easier!

* Native German speakers should feel free to correct me if I've left any out
