The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIII
Soaring Feather and Poets of The Lair | June 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me



If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Great for the Cubs. The weather here is around 80 as well and the good thing is that the humidity is bearable.

Look on the lower left of the picture and you will see the face of a panter in the dark area, move your eyes left and you will see the outline of a horse running, look up anf to the right a little you will see the face of a grey wolf and look up and to the right you should see a bear growling.

Okay. Maybe my old eyes are seeing things. I just expanded the section of the picture of what I thought was a cougar and it looks like it could be the face of a gorilla.

OVER 60 POINTS : Others see you as someone they should ‘handle with care.’ You’re seen as vain, self- centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don’t always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS : Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who’s quick to mak e decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS : Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of at tention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them u p and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS : Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as cleve r, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who’s extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn’t want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don’t exist. Some people think you’ re boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren’t.

Now forward this to others, and put your score in the subject box of your e-mail.

Oh, BTY my score was 30

Now a word to the wise.

PAINTING THE PORCH
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. “Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”

The blonde said, “How about 50 dollars?”

The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?”

The man replied, “She should. She was standing on the porch.”

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

“You’re finished already?” he asked.

“Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.”

Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.

“And by the way,” the blonde added, “That’s not a Porsche, it’s a Ferrari.”

Chili Cook Off

If you can read this whole story without laughing, then there’s no hope for
you.

Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the

first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better.

For those of you who have lived in Texas , you know how true this is.

They actually have a Chili Cook Off about the time Halloween comes around.

It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park.

Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili Taster named Frank, who was visiting
from Springfield , IL.
Frank: “Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili
cook-off.
The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be
standing there at the judge’s table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck,
when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans)
that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.”

Here are the scorecard notes from the event:

*****************************************************
CHILI # 1 - Mikes MANIAC MONSTER CHILI...

Judge # 1 — A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 - Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) — Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You could
remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the
flames out. I hope that’s the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN ‘S AFTERBURNER CHILI..

Judge # 1 — Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge #2 — Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken
seriously.
Judge # 3 — Keep this out of the reach of children. I’m not sure what
I’m supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who
wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer
when they saw the look on my face.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 3 - FRED’S BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...
Judge # 1 — Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.

Judge # 2 — A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 — Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill.
My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the
routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on
the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting
drunk from all of the beer.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 4 - BUBBA’S BLACK MAGIC...

Judge # 1 — Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 — Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish
or other mild foods not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable
to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-LB woman is starting to
look HOT. Just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?

*****************************************************

CHILI # 5 LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER...

Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 — Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must
admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 — My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and
I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed
paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that
her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from
bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I’m
burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop
screaming.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 6 - VERA’S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY...

Judge # 1 — Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of
spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 — The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and
garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous,
sulfuric flames. I pooped on myself when I farted and I’m worried it
will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me
except that Sally. Can’t feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my rear-end with a snow cone.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 7 - SUSAN’S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI...

Judge # 1 — A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. < BR>
Judge # 2 — Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of
chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am
worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is
cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 — You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I
wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds
like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which
slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my
shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve
decided to stop breathing its too painful. I’m not getting any oxygen
anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in
my stomach.

*****************************************************

CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM’S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI...

Judge # 1 — The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too
bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 — This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild
nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted,
passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself.
Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he’d have reacted to really hot chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report
