Rise and shine! Time for class, we are starting late for those with hangovers or those who shopped the after Christmas sales early this morning.
Home work on the blackboard, apples and Christmas cookies on my desk.
As well dressed as he may appear on the outside, Obama is simply a moral and ethical tatterdemalion.
That he is. A++
Tatterdemalion and a junketer
There’s a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter
(He’s my hero)
-Queen, from A Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke
Fabulous frenetic song based on an equally fabulous painting of the same name. If you’re a Queen fan and don’t know this piece from Queen II, shame on you. If you’re only a casual Queen fan, check it out (with lyrics at the ready) and then dig deeper into such class as “My Fairy King” and “Great King Rat”, not to mention “March of the Black Queen”.
Good morning - I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
In the George Bernard Shaw play- Pygmalion,
This man took a tatterdemalion;
A Cockney once shady
Became ‘My Fair Lady’
With diction & manners quite alien...
You metion “March of the Black Queen” and a photo of Michele Obama is posted. LOL
One of our favorite bands! They really were rocket scientists, too.
Did you see Doctor Who last night? I think it was a good story.
I loved it. Those elves cracked me. How do you fit all those toys in the sleigh? Yes, I’ll be watching it again later if it’s on In Demand. My kids were rolling their eyes and saying Inception, here we go...
A+++ Interesting trivia.
Elves cracked me UP! Sheesh, learn to proof your own writing, will you?
Christmas was peaceful.
LMAO A+++
Awesome. A++
Don’t really like being jerked around with Clara being gone and now not, but that’s another issue entirely.
Yes, the episode was good. I, too, loved the crack about Santa’s sleigh being bigger on the inside.
Well that is a good thing! We you on call?
