...wind and rain failed to dampen the spirits of around 30,000 people from descending on Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice...

Ah, okay. I had figured since the original IMG link to the photos was still there after mine got pulled, that there must have been something else going on. I see now that the original photo IMGs are gone too.
Cool, thanks for letting me know, and sorry about that.
Is it an FR thing or is it a nerd metal fan thing? I can actually see my DVD of Spinal Tap from where I’m sitting, I really can’t think of Stonehenge without thinking of... well Stonehenge (where the banshees live and they do live well).
Oh, the huge manatee II
Happy Birthday!
Both. One of the great joys of FR is that we have these oddball associative rules and in-jokes.
And despite the supposed stereotypical conservative who listens only to gospel and country music, there are a considerable number of metal-heads and whatnot on this forum, including Deadheads and Dylan fans, which on the surface of it would seem completely counterintuitive.
And just a LOAD of Monty Python fans (including my humble self, see tagline).
Does that charge the AP wants to levy include LINKING to an AP source, but not quoting anything from the article?
Hmmm. I thought it was ‘watery tarts’ distributing swords. ;o)
LOL! Spamhenge! We also liked Twinkiehenge, which looked especially accurate, with the bites taken out of some of them.
:)Heeheee.
Ay, 'tis a cruel world indeed. But to make you feel better here's a picture of a polar bear trying to eat a submarine.
Submariners have seen polar bears in the past, but this is one of the few
times that the bear saw the sub first, and apparently mistook it for the
world's largest chunk of bear food.
It's actually got three such parts:
Female Peasant: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?And there you have it!
Arthur: I am your king!
Female Peasant: Well I didn't vote for you.
Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Female Peasant: Well how'd you become king, then?
Arthur: The Lady of the Lake,... [Angel chorus begins singing in background] her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. [Angel chorus ends] THAT is why I am your king!Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be QUIET!
Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: If I went 'round, sayin' I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.
Arthur: Shut up, will you?! SHUT UP!
WOW, that's AMAZING... I feel much better already!!
;o))
*snicker* A friend and I took our kids into NYC to see “Spamalot” a few years ago. That was FUN!
That isn’t funny. Nothing those idiots did was funny except for that parrot and fjords bit
