Beard
BEARD, n. The hair that is commonly cut off by those who justly execrate the Chinese custom of shaving the head.
2010 Update: Facial hair cultivated by cultured men to distinguish themselves from lunatics and visa-versa.
Ariel -- Your English is not too good. It's natural feed reader
..
Jim -- Don't forget to tell Mrs Jim that Walmart's real good sale started yesterday. Summer pygamas are no longer on sale for $1 each. Flannel shirts are $2.34 each.
I left a comment here about Amoeba's beard being a dandy handle when I want his undivided attention. Apparently blogger didn't care for it. Funny, Amoeba doesn't, either.
This day desperately needed a laugh-out-loud moment to save the week from being a complete craphole.
ReplyDeleteThe update nailed it.
Brilliant!
Hope your weekend's fabulous!
Beard, n, natural bird feeder.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Doug, you must have looked in my mirror. I've had my scrawny beard for quite a few years. Most of the time I can keep the lice out.

Susan -- definitely a L-O-L moment!

ReplyDeleteOh, and Jim, I assume you'll be around for Susan at Stony River's Microfiction Monday, right?

Beard: Chin hair.
ReplyDelete(Except On a woman, it's stray eyebrows.)
BEARD, n. - Take it off. Take it all off.....(Sexy music now playing :)
ReplyDeletePerfect update.
ReplyDelete"It's Wednesday and Doug appears tired
ReplyDeleteIn work and in life he is mired
He writes about change
Which is well in his range
Perhaps it's from Nash he was sired"
Looking for a Saturday miracle.
ReplyDelete"Wow -- I like a limerick in italics!"
ReplyDelete"It's much much better than a green [sic] limerick with birthday wishes for Actonbell whom I don't really know but wish her Happy Birthday anyway."
Thanks, Susan. I wish you a whole good week.
ReplyDeleteAnd a nest for feher golyak, Ariel.
Jim, my own mirror bores me after a while.
Karen, from curator to campmother?
TLP, that's funny.
Actonbell, the font should be the same size as ever. Maybe it's moving a little faster today?
Thanks, Cooper.
OK, back to curator, Karen?
Sorry TLP, I had high hopes, too.

ReplyDeleteMatthew, Mark, Luke,and John.
ReplyDeleteBury the pig and lets get on.

He's glad Susan's youngest made it!
And says "Best of wishes in the job hunt."

Jim's on the road to Iowa.
