Can someone help?
Robert, if you're going to try to make nonsense out of our nonsense, you're going to get hopelessly confused.
(P.S. Space-X just had a successful launch!)
Oh boy. Sounds like I may have to pull out the book on heraldry -- there's a standard language for describing such things: "On a field azure..."
My bed calls. It’s a field of azure with lions rampant.
;oþ
Goodnight, bonne nuit and azure.
If I must explain “it”, I will admit what I said I didn’t make sense.
Rampant kitties -- sounds almost Scottish. *\;-)
The UT is all about nonsense...
A thread that will live in infamy.
Hardly. When the Undead Thread departs in a couple of days, this thread will finally die a natural death and be forgot, except to those of us of the UT.
A heartfelt salute to our hostess, who hopefully by now knows how to change her tagline -- and a special salute to her husband for his service!

Couldn’t agree more! I kinda feel sorry for those who post such innocent questions in good faith.
Well, we all were once newbies. But the UT crowd on this thread is friendly to her, and I hope she’ll at least say “hi” before we depart a couple of days hence.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Mr. Carroll is not well looked on by spellcheck. But spellcheck isn’t happy with spellcheck.

Thank you for making me a FReeper immortal. Not quit as high as the infamous “UNNNNGH” thread but I’m feeling a little worthy.
Before we part ways, as my famous question has been answered nearly 1,870 times, I am obliged to say....I learned how to change my tag line within the first 1,869 posts. Replies after that were just entertainment.
I am not a newbie but a blond. Learning how to eat a banana was very embarrassing but made me the most popular girl in 5th grade.
And thank you for appreciating what my Darlin’ Husband does as his first love- a steely eyed killer of the deep. I thank God for him every minute of every hour of every day.
P.S. I kept the same tagline, changing my mind about changing it after I learned how to change it.
Yes, you did. And you picked a really good one!
But don't be a stranger. We may not be the best source of information about changing taglines, but we can be entertaining in our own way.
Good morning. That was opaque.
Good morning everyone. Too bad I don't have any of these in the house.
Looks good! I’ve been sorting the children’s clothes and didn’t get around to breakfast yet. Maybe I’ll just wait until lunch.
There are, uhm, er, (Robt is not sure how to delicately phrase this) red and blue thongs in your serial.
Are you sure it is still safe to eat?
