I'm not surprised. For some reason I always expected you to possess great pedagogical abilities

Needless to say he is up to genius level now.

Of course! And I assume you are up to sumo wrestler level now

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Lockdown is becoming a distant memory and I miss it a little. I developed a new vocation with home schooling and taught my new Grandson to count.
I made him count the number of "ring-pulla" and bottle tops I had and made him count by the number of chocolates he put in my mouth.

You were supposed to put the chocolate in HIS mouth.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I'm not surprised. For some reason I always expected you to possess great pedagogical abilities

I am surprised at your knowledge of vocabulary, Turga. I could only laugh after I spent time asking google.
My sister was only a tutor who taught the tutees.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Turga, you won the #800 prize and you two boys didn't seem to notice...I think the prize should go to me instead since I am so observant.

 

[Turga]

Turga, you won the #800 prize and you two boys didn't seem to notice

Oh, we noticed, it’s just that we are so modest and phlegmatic that we prefer others to announce the event.

I think the prize should go to me instead since I am so observant.

I’ll be happy to share the prize with you 99/1 % (in my favor, of course) – it could actually turn out to be to your advantage if the prize turns out to be a one year subscription to “Country Life”

 

[Bristle Boy]

Nope...how wrong can you be...one of life lessons when they are young. It teaches them numeracy, thinking of others before yourself, taking care of the elderly and....chocolate is bad for you and makes you fat.

 

[Turga]

chocolate is bad for you and makes you fat.

Don’t feel bad about it; physicians and nutrition experts actually categorize (dark) chocolate more as a vegetable than a candy. Makes sense as it is made from cocoa beans; but yes, excessive devouring of the substance does make you fat

Chocolate makes you smile, not fat.

I pretend dark chocolate is a health food...so no guilt.

Hi Rick,
Nice to see you woke up from your nap!
We have been holding down the fort in your absence. We even called in Turga to help, but it took him a long time to get here...he "s l o w".

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

When I was six I had a tennis ball hit me in the eye.
I wore an eye pad for a week

When I was six I fell off my bike going downhill and mangled the skin on my knee.
I still have the scar.

Me at six.

Peg and I spent the week near Mt. Washington out of cellular range. I don't think I'm in shape to climb it yet but I will this year.

Wrong. I enjoyed it and it wasn't because of Peg. I have seen it twice and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Ghost on the other hand was ghosted. Peg was a potter and so it would be too laughable.

I was a little disappointed though. It wasn't as dirty as I hoped.

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

That famous song from "Ghost", "Unchained Melody" always reminds me of the love theme from the movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Now serious, "Unchained Melody" is one of the few modern songs that does not have its title in its lyrics. Wikipedia explains how it got its name.

And, as for The Righteous Brothers, they got their name when a black fan exclaimed "That was righteous, brothers." [They were not brothers.]

But if you really want dirty you should be playing with mud spinning on a wheel.

Very clever, Rick! Great analogy (if that is the correct word to use).

We call them "Calypso's" this side of the Atlantic. I have a few in the freezer.
They are great teasing material for young (2 year oldl grandson who needs to be assisted. I squeeze out about an inch and offer it and just as his mouth is about to reach the frozen goodness I let it go so it disappears back in again.

Bad Grandad.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I remember that my "spit" would soften the cardboard and it would eventually start collapsing, making it harder to push up the remainder...they were called "push ups" on my side of the Atlantic, but I don't recall them retracting to tease the innocent.
@Bristle Boy, you sound like a real teaser.
Look what I found! Recycling at home is the absolute best...forget using the bin when you can create things...such as pulpo!

 

[Bristle Boy]

And I have been under the mistaken belief that the cardboard was the most nutritional part. The multi use of the toilet roll might go some way to explain the popularity of the product and shortage during the covid pandemic.
I've made your model and put it alongside some real pulpo to compare the taste.
The toilet roll tastes better.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I must retrieve my own fresh roll I'd thrown in from my bathroom waste basket earlier this morning. Little did I know it was a multi-putpose item.

Not quite..his genius was to stop it rolling. when parked on a hill.
The true genius was if he had made the wheels square he would have got four clunks per revolution...being triangular you only got three

Of course David was not being serious...my kind of guy.

It maxs out at 5 kph but only if you have even credit to fuel it.

BTW, I just learned that the Cannonball Run record was broken a number of times during the pandemic due to lighter traffic. Now 25 hours and 39 minutes. Crossing Denmark wouldn't take so long though.

At Turgamobile speed, it would still take a fair amount of time to cross Denmark, but at say 200 kph you could make it from farthest north to farthest south in less than 2 hours.

But why hurry? When the first railroad line opened in Denmark in 1847 running at max 60 kph, a group of physicians stated that “At such speed, the constant and rapid variation of visual impressions is bound to damage the brain and further, it is a well established fact that such exaggerated functional activity will inevitably cause degradation of human tissue.”
