just hurl a rubber boot as far as you can - it can keep a largish group of farmers amused for hours

.......     ........God, I lead a sheltered life.

I have to say those carrots are almost as scary to me as that... that... succulent. ::shivers at both::

The Ostrich Farm is very cool, though. And the tank. (If only it would be used to enforce fairness in that cake-judging. It's absolutely criminal that a hedgehog won over your sister's Dali cake! But yay, her wine!)

Thanks for posting these ::smooches you:: -- I gather that's 'shamelessly' though, right? We're not supposed to ::smooch:: and all, haven't I been reading something about that -- we're supposed to be dignified and merely pleasantly, yet unenthusiastically, civil? With which there is nothing *wrong*, of course, but it just isn't nearly as much fun...)
