OK, I gotta post this!
 

(Ethnic names changed to Bill and Anne to remain PC)

It's a romantic full moon, when Bill said, "Hey, Anne, let's do Weeweechu."

"Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Anne.

" Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Bill begged.

"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Anne.

"Please, sweetheart, just once, do Weeweechu with me."

Anne looked at Bill and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."

Bill grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....

"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Oh Bill!...........

Merry Christmas to all, from the frozen north!
and;
''.....God bless us, every one!"

Richard.

Great, Bill,

I love that!

God bless us all, everybody.

Michael

All the best
from the Rhine to the world :)

I'll be damned ... are those guys on acid ? :eek:

As a random 'sniper' :D here in the European Armoury, please allow me to greet one and all from Manila a Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon! [Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!].

Plus I'd like to take this opportunity to greet our Muslim brothers in Mindanao and elsewhere a Happy Al-Hijra / Muharram [i.e., New Year]!

PS - Love the images in this thread! :)

:D :D

Kronckew,
......is it true that dogs look like their owners .... :p :D

Regards

maybe, but that's not MY dog. :)

i have a slightly more rotund look than mine.

the rest of the field with the gate, the pile of dinosaur dung on the left has been there since summer, them tyrannosaurs are messy.
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...compressed.jpg
(this is not my field either, it's a pasture across the road)

Hi Kronckew,

Nice dogs....and yeah, those Tyrannosaurs really have no shame ....now the Steggasaurus has better manners ....but the amount of used toilet paper they leave lying around 'aint pretty'... :D

Surely that snail is a Retriever.....albeit alittle slower than a Labrador :D

Happy New Year

Regards David

'Snail' is actually a member of a zulu ibutho, and is an inkwebane, on his way to a stick fight.

anyway, them stegs do use a lot of TP. after this years air tattoo campers left that field, when it flooded, was in sorry shape as most of their cars had to be towed out by draft steggies. the last few had to be persuaded by blues relative, who is a greyhound/velociraptor cross. he always wins his races as the other starters generally wind up as er, starters ;)
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...reyasaurus.jpg

:D :D ......I bet Blue's relative would be unwelcome at Cruff's .....even it was only because of his 'Jurassic Bark' :rolleyes: :D :D

they're just afraid he'd eat up all the competition.

reminds me of an old dog joke. there was a man who had a pit bull that he'd walk around the neighbourhood and he'd deliberately let it pick fights with other peoples dogs they met on the way. one man who had his dog savaged dared him to meet him again the next day when he'd bring his other dog.

sure 'nuff, the next day the pit bull owner sees him coming with the ugliest brown dog he ever saw, warty skin, short stubby legs and a stumpy tail, and patchy scraggly fur. anyhow, the pitbull attacks the other dog, which promptly grabs the pitbull and swallows him whole in one chomp. the pitbulls owner is horrified and asks him 'what kind of dawg is that anyway'. the man says

'well, before i cut off his tail, painted him brown and glued my wife's fur coat on him, he used to be an alligator.'

i know this is a true story, and there's even a photo of it. :)
