Thanks, Blake!

Blake may be right but very few anklebiters get past my front door.
Very few.

do any of them manage to get back out?

I should think you'd either cook or bury the evidence. I wonder how many
godies would fit on your property? Of course if you cook them, you only
have to bury the bones.

they're good for stock.

Michael, Michael. This is a food group, you should put in the obligatory
recipe for child. As in: OB: Hansel and Gretel baked child.

as i recall, that one didn't turn out too well for the cook.

and yes, I remember the old joke. :-)

I thought it was a line from a Mae West - Cary Grant movie...
“Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”

Which reminds me of a line in a Buck Owen's song called "Dang Me":
My daddy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun.

this is the second time someone has misattributed authorship of 'dang
me.' buck owens was a fine artist, but roger miller wrote the song.

He sang it. I didn't care who wrote it.

hmm. google seems to want it both ways, kinda.

hits for buck owens "dang me": 9,470

hits for buck owens "dang me" lyrics: 2,680

hits for roger miller "dang me": 45,300

hits for roger miller "dang me" lyrics: 19,600

..but it was a monster hit for miller. if you heard the song on the
radio, likely it was him and not buck.

ok

There's probably a lot of truth in your thinking. :-) His oddities lie
only in the limited range of foods he will eat.

My top two "OCDs" a my spices are in alphabetical order and my feet
barely hit the floor in the morning before the bed gets made up. The
DH swears that if he didn't move fast enough, I'd make the bed up with
him in it.

And, while not an OCD, one trait that drives both the DH and my boss
nuts is that I tend to be a "scooper" when I'm straightening things
up. God forbid you have an important paper on the bottom of a pile I
just scooped up and threw in the trash with, say, the newspaper.

As do I, on both scores.

No, I don't do that, but David is more likely to do so.

And just the ****ing audacity of anyone throwing away things that may be
important to others. Having no idea but being arrogant enough to just
"scoop." Even at work. Ugh.

I sed, "trash," but we do recycle the newspaper. And the cans and the
plastic, etc., but I have always had a sneaking hunch that it all
winds up in the same landfill.
