Die Made

Hinter eines Baumes Rinde
wohnt die Made mit dem Kinde.

Sie ist Witwe, denn der Gatte,
den sie hatte, fiel vom Blatte.
Diente so auf diese Weise
einer Ameise als Speise.

Eines Morgens sprach die Made:
"Liebes Kind, ich sehe grade,
drüben gibt es frischen Kohl,
den ich hol. So leb denn wohl!

Halt, noch eins! Denk, was geschah,
geh nicht aus, denk an Papa!"

Also sprach sie und entwich. -
Made junior aber schlich hinterdrein;
doch das war schlecht!
Denn schon kam ein bunter Specht
und verschlang die kleine fade
Made ohne Gnade. Schade!

Hinter eines Baumes Rinde
ruft die Made nach dem Kinde ....

(Heinz Erhardt)

Sony, Pansonic, and there's one I can't remember the name, I think it's Viso, or maybe Vizo?  Anyway, they're dirt cheap but pretty damn good quality.

Just commission a nice watercolor. That should serve just fine.

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

when knitting is it knit one pearl two or knit two pearl one?
How do you get the pearls to stay in place? and why two of them? or is it one of them?

What is the orgin of throwing pearls before swine? will the swine get sick if they eat the
pearls? Or is it a case of this too shall pass?

I'm still trying to figure out WHO our receptionist was talking to before she transferred the call to me, because I have a hard time believing it was the same person I spoke with. Although that happens somewhat regularly. We have different ways with people on the phone.

No more than two!

(Extra props if you can place that line. Nothing to do with ships I'm afraid.)

I'm going to go with China.  They're putting up a good team right now, so I have VERY high hopes for them (they'd BETTER win, I got money riding on it!).

We ARE talking about Beer Pong, right?

Of course we are. But if you've seen Beerfest, you'll remember the Swedish Drinking Team. They get my vote.

Sorry, I always wanted to learn how to play the piano.
My parents gave me a guitar. "The kid wants to make music? here, take this!"
I didn't get lessons though. They just thought, I'd learn that on my own. Gave up after a few weeks. I never wanted a guitar anyway.

All I really wanted was, to play the piano - and sing.
By the time I finished school, I wanted to study singing (as in opera or at least musical) at our university. Wasn't accepted. My singing was good enough for the course, but I couldn't play piano and that was mandatory.
*sigh*
