Received a note from Mike's son and he is a little under the weather. He'll catch up in a couple of days.

So, are you intimating that he has a bit of an overhang?
That is even worse! Call out the militia, call out the Coast Guard! Call out the Marines! We have to pour some holy water down his throat!
Steve, just call Fred. :lol:

Steve,
I try to avoid the repartee with the “Sage” from Uxbridge whenever possible, but I hope the old cuss gets well enough soon, or should that be soon enough well?
On that “Sage” bit, kind of seasoning that goes nicely with poultry. Nah, I’m not all that keen on poultry and “Sage” has a bit of a peculiar taste. But sage brush makes very nice deciduous tree armatures!
BTW … Probably the first major rant will be regarding the crumbling numbers in “the willing” coalition in Iraq. Looks like they were willing, but not completely daft!

Indeed today is/was Ash Wednesday, in German there is a neat phrase that builds on Ash Wednesday:
“Du kannst mich mal am Aschermittwoch besuchen”
which is a variant on “kiss my ass” without actually saying that. Very tricky to get upset when someone tells you to visit him on Ash Wednesday. 
That sounds like it should reside with “when hell freezes over”…
Thanks , chaps .
You may wish to know what happened . Or not .
Because of my existing disability , I fell heavily . Being fat I cannot fall lightly .
Add to that , I made the same error as I did when I had the disabling accident . I did not let my head take the brunt of the fall , which would then have been more a damage limitation exercise to the concrete wot I hit .
Consequently , I landed on my right wrist and elbow , twisting my already damaged back in the process .
I said " Oh , dear , I have fallen over , tsk , tsk , what a silly old man you are . " This of course after I had finished chewing the walking sticks .
Thus I have spent a couple of weeks horizontal , designing layouts on the ceiling , biting my tear stained pillows in frustration at not being able to respond to my favourite comics’ utterances ( actually , I haven’t read them ) and generally being a nuisance to my very patient Son .
This excursion to the computer has undone about two days’ worth of Theraputicum Horizontalis Idlebuggeritis , to which I must now retreat .
You will all , naturally , come to regret this . Someone has to pay for the torture of mandatory TV for the incapable , brain dead , and allied sorts .
I leave you with this thought .
Why is the TV news called “News” ? The same “new” story is repeated about once every 15 minutes , ad nauseum . For 24 hours . Believe it ,
Mike . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The lady who is in charge of the our ski school on the hill quite frequently wears a jacket with the slogan.
“When hell freezes over, I’ll ski there too”
I told you all he would be back. Thank God, he didn’t damage the concrete. I hope he didn’t get hooked on soap operas.

If this
“You will all , naturally , come to regret this . Someone has to pay for the torture of mandatory TV for the incapable , brain dead , and allied sorts .

is any indication, he probably got hooked on something.
The mandatory TV sounds downright scary! Whenever I have to stay in bed (as in “I’m too sick to get up”), I listen to the radio and sleep a lot. Accelerates the healing!
Ric said:Since he enjoys our "Off Topic" and "General" forums quite a lot, I'd say he is hooked on soap operas...but it has nothing to do with TV...:/
I hope he didn't get hooked on soap operas.
Quote from Hans-Joerg Mueller - ‘TV for the incapable , brain dead , and allied sorts.’
There ARE other forms of entertainment for the brain dead, and at the Ending Of All Things, the GFO will line up four people for eternal damnation and oblivion.
There are, in no particular order, the inventors of -
a. the banjo - an instrument, but certainly not a MUSICAL one.
b. the kazoo - see above.
c. elevator muzak.
d. the battery-driven, illuminated pepper mill - for use at candlelit dinners.
There are many others, but right now I’m watching ‘Desperate Housewives’ for the third time today, and I’m a mite busy…
