Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - 27

What did female viking wear? Hey - were there even female vikings?

One can dream...

Dress her up as a deer.

If she were a Celtic warrior you could paint her blue and be done with it.
But not mauve.

Remember the cartoon, Hagar the Horrible? She, Helga, wore a vest and a long skirt - they're in short supply at the local thrift shop. Most vests are either down filled or denim, neither of which would be accurate. Here's a photo of the helmet. Maybe it has another name but I don't know it.

She'd be a legless deer, Victor, and that's what you might enjoy but it won't work for her.

Sharon - she's wearing purple and blue right now regardless of the temperature that would render her blue today anyhow.

Cool! Use the face too. Is her head screwed on right?

That head has never been on her "body" but this may be the year it gets screwed on right...or left.

Rightie tightie...

Lucy leftie.

very Wagnerian!

Yes, ala Brunhilde!

Was Wagnerian a vegetarian?

Not sure and don't know if he liked winegar or not.

more of an aryan, i think...

And a hairy 'un at that.

Hairy Aryan?
Looked rather like a(n) ald erson to me. (Thanks to irl.)

So funny, _haron! We "eople" have to stick together.

Best fun I have had all day, my dear.

It's good to have fun on a cold winter day, like today has been.

It's good to stay inSIDE. x, C

I remember that episode, Al.

and the one where hawkeye says all the things he will carry - carry on, cary grant, etc - but he WON'T carry a gun.

I guess Frank Burns was no relation to George?

Yes - carry over, etc. That was a great show - especially the first five years, and the first three (with Wayne Rogers and McLean) were the best. After Frank left, it went downhill, though there were some funny ones with Charles.

Every one with Col. Flagg is a classic.

I guess I had a soft spot for Harry Morgan from Dragnet - I didn't like the other guy too much.

Here's a funny MASH story: in 7th or 8th grade (when did the movie come out) some cooler kids than I were singing the theme song with their guitars. Well, I heard a lovely harmony so I offered to sing it (I guess I played guitar too in those days) and so these way cool girls taught me the words because the harmony was nice and we sang it an assembly one morning. The words, to which i hadn't given an iota of thought, "And suicide is painless" apparently were quite alarming to members of the guidance department!!!

Carrie, that's a great story!

Yeah, I think so too! x, C

Loved MASH! Love taupe..........ochre and diapers go hand in hand.......You know you are enjoying retirement when it's/its don't/doesn't bother you.......Life's too short! I'm with Dave on this one! If everyone gets too paranoid and self-conscious about being grammatically precise in every post, we'll lose a lot of the spontaneous fun, and that's far more important to me! As with most things, it's a question of degree and balance.....

Or durgree an balins.

Where's the link to old how old is old or whatever? I lost the thread,,,,,, you know, elderly gardeners in their 40's. xx, C

On the west coast we stay 29 for years...I figured the east coast would beat us on that one.

Katye is right...but we start to develop a sort of "pucey" coloration at that point.

Is that opaque or transparent, JasperDale?

ummm, haven't gotten there quite yet. Or maybe I passed it already? Did i go to the - hey, is it "peuce" or "puce" or let's try "pewce" - Pewce it is.
JD - up here (Seattle), we either go with the flow & turn green,
(no rain deficit = moss)
OR - stay inside & acquire that pale/palid/ashen hue with a coffee overlay.

Louise, ochre is breast milk... xx, Carrie

The intensity of Pewse (or puce, peuce, whatever) can vary dramatically depending on the smog level, humidity, and temperature here. If you have copper pipes in some sections of this city, you get nice green highlights in your hair !

When we repiped our house, my mom's hair turned Emerald Green the next day.

Have you been tested to see if you inherited that phenomonal genetic predisposition, JD??

Gary Pucey?

I'm pretty sure I didn't. My hair has never been green. My teeth, yes...but never the hair.

from all the green eggs and ham....
