Just don't get the berries mixed up with the twigs.

True...I did that once and I found them to be a little too hard and pointy for my liking... and a little small
I picked up a copy of Reading Lolita in Tehran and a Powell's bookmark fell out. That convinced me to buy it, $2. I haven't read it yet, I'll let you know if they wrote in it when I get to it.
Mark, you're going to fit in JUST FINE around here!

I keep trying Barb, but it comes out Australian.
Sorry to shatter the illusion... but does a dublin accent that isn't really a Dublin accent count as an Irish accent...
No... it is... it's just not an irish accent that is particularly suited to the irishness of some of my comments.

Hi Louise... the last few of my comments don't make much sense now, do they?
I see I missed a bunch of posts whilst doing legal research--welcome, Mark.
Doesn't matter Mark, I'm a foreigner anyway ;-)

the nice thing about libraries is that I don't have to store all those books. The bad thing is that sometimes they do not have the books I want to read. If I bought all the books I read I would need a building the size of the San Francisco main library to store them all in. Question: can I download a book and then transfer it to CD or to a flash drive? remember, I am computer illiterate.

You've seen a crooked twig?

Sorry, LG. I should have prepared you before hitting you with something like that!

Only once. ;)"
I've have had that unfortunate experience at least twice... needless to say I made it quick and then left for home...
Barb wrote: "LOL. Seems there's only one way to deal with a crooked twig, cuz that's what I did."It certainly seems that way although I would be interested in seeing what other options people could come up with... like... straightening it... but how does one do that?
You don't know how to straighten a twig either Larry?
Jammies wrote: "I see I missed a bunch of posts whilst doing legal research--welcome, Mark."Thank you Jammies... I actually missed your post telling me that you'd missed a few posts until just now.
Larry wrote: "Wow I'm really confused."Do you really want to use those exact words in this context, Jim?
Whoops! I obviously meant to say Larry at the end of that last one... I guess I'm the one that's confused?
Barb wrote: "Apparently, Larry's never seen a crooked twig.I have no idea how to straighten them. Yanking on them doesn't seem to help."
That's true enough... but once you've done that you wait a few minutes and try again from the beginning...
Larry wrote: "It's worth a try, though."Indeed it is!
Barb wrote: "Larry wrote: "It's worth a try, though."Ya, that's what the guy with the twig said."
What happened to those delicious wilted berries, I'm hungry.
As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. Or the bush with the berries. Or something. I'm losing it here.
Larry wrote: "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. Or the bush with the berries. Or something. I'm losing it here."Not necessarily... I know a few trees with bent twigs that have grown perfectly straight.
It seems that we are to, now, try and salvage something of metaphorical significance from this savage sea of innuendo.
For Larry's sake, at least... I am perfectly fine with letting the depravity continue.
Barb wrote: "Apparently, Larry's never seen a crooked twig.I have no idea how to straighten them. Yanking on them doesn't seem to help."
Well you don't want to yank hard enough to pull it off, it really wouldn't need to be straightened if that happened.

Well you don't want to yank hard enough to pull it off, i..."
Yes, that would be a problem... although... never mind that's too naughty even for me...
Me too, Larry.
I don't even understand it. I didn't know it could do that, I mean...it's not like there is an actual BONE to grow crooked. How does it get crooked and can't you get that fixed???

It's not serious.... although I do see your point... I think it has gone on long enough now anyway...?
Barb wrote: "Maybe something silly like scar tissue pulling it in one direction ... how one would end up with scar tissue there ... I'd rather not think about."Me too... although there was that guy on Scrubs who broke his penis twice... he said the second time was fun.
Well riding on them and yanking them anyway... but yeah I think this one is over.
I can't believe somebody actually thought that our perfectly innocent talk of twigs and berries was about Penises... I'm quite upset! lol
Why is it that when I clicked on that link, it was blocked and the screen flashed RESTRICTED? Damn sonic wall.
