Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Vocabuary aside, I sound like a redneck more than half the time.
Messed me up good, it did!
Heh.
Dang. Got the same thing. :-)
Which brings me back to why I took the picture. Because I know all that, and yet I saw these birds that look like gulls flying in formation.
Except the Midwest, it seems.

Well the socks are more useful than a losing lottery ticket!

Yeeeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaah!
They're pretty snazzy, actually. ;-)
Well... I read it a little different. I've ~heard~ some of those expressions before, like 'cruller' and 'rotary', but I don't use them. And they're not really used where I live.
Like the "pop" question, I know they're called "sodas" and "cokes" (even when not coca-cola, that's the ringer...) elsewhere. But it was "pop" when I was a kid. Though... the term "soda" seems to be generally taking over now, though the homogenization of all things.

But those birds aren't carrying any coconuts.
Local talk radio guy was talking about it. ACLU says it's his "right" to do that.
Of course the problem is that he has video of his um technique on YouTube.
And apparently it shows all of his...um...painting utensils.
You gotta unnerstand we're a pretty conservative county. Luke's school is celebrating Christmas and periodically invites the children's pastors to come for breakfast.
I'd grown up saying "You wanna go get a coke?, or even more humorous, "What kind of coke you want?" But nowadays, I'm more likely to ask someone if they want a soda, only so I don't confuse the heck out of them.
*snort* Izzat why he's on 'administrative leave'?
Except for the art teacher ;~)
