Phred, who is green and wears a black cape and hat, is underneath the Shadow really Boots the Cat...who likes beer but not prune juice and HATES clam juice as well as creatures without feet except when they are tunaed into the radio on a beach in the South Seas which is a long way from Ohio.

What a kettle of fish this has become! And poor toughCookie is still swimming upstream -- who is this fishy Phred again???

ROTFL!!!:D You guys are hilarious!! I'm in tears from laughing so hard. Poor "toughCookie" must be totally confused.
So here, toughCookie, just for you,

I'd go easy on that stuff or it may make Boots do more than F@rtz. The floaty stuff is squished clams. I'd even be tempted to add more water or just add a spoon full to Boots water. You don't want him shootin poo everywhere!
Good luck!:D

I just came upon this thread where Phred go so does the humor. So glad to here that some of us are recycled teens. Thought for a while it was nothing but teens here. So many new ones are. I think that Cinder and Smoke have tied ole Phred up some where cuz he hasn't signed on in along time. They seem to have taken control of the ranch.
Ps did the clams work for Boots.
Sps I love the Newset Shadow movie it was terrific!!!!!!!

Sorry Phred. Guess it wasn't a success! But what a slippery bottle of calm juice!

Makes me think of a time right after I was sent on assignment to Mexico. I was invited out to dinner one night by a co-worker and her husband. We went to a very elegant restaurant. Although I spoke Spanish my knoweledge of foods was -- like my diet at the time -- limited to beef, pork, and chicken. I ordered accordingly. My friend's husband ordered a dish with which I was not familiar. Very elaborate preparation tableside -- lots of garlic and who knows what all else. Served on toast points. As a guest I had to try it. :eek: :eek: I made all the correct guestlike comments..."How interesting!" "Very different taste!" all with the correct level of enthusiasm.

Finally someone figured out how to get through my thick gringa head -- "It's fish that makes electricity!"

She became, and still is, a very good friend. They frequently entertained me in their home. And often, as a special treat just for me since I had enjoyed it soooo much, he would make eel.

Thankd goodness for certain alcoholic beverages!

Glad to hear boots is drinking again. I was getting concerned we had a cat get FUS and have to be put down . Please check magnesem
level in cat food.
I think any time Phred and the gang get a thread going it gets fun . Been missing these phunny ones, we used to have lots of them. Has anyone heard from Carrie, I haven,t seen her in a while Maybe I missed them as I didn't have much time this summer to read the board. Thank goodness for todays active threads, never could have kept up at all. Good to see so many "old timers".

LOL! - Sara, speaking of blunders when ordering food and other stuff in spanish, I had taught John a few sentences and as we were sitting in a cafe in Spain about to order coffee. As the waiter came, I said: You can do that John! :eek: This is what came out - "dos cafe con carne, por favor"! :rolleyes: The waiter was falling apart laughing, but got the meaning.
I did a similar one years ago in Spain. I wanted to buy a certain box of colourful soaps, so I went in to a country shop to try and get them there, as I was running out of time. I asked for jamon, instead of jabón. :rolleyes: The aged shopowner - and alone in the shop, came out with a huge ham for me. I kept trying to explain and his face lightened up! The next thing he presented for me was washing powder. It turned out he didn't have the soap at all.

John here... and by the way Phred, one must not generalise about clams, it's just like with people, there's always an attractive one out there somewhere!

Breaking news!

Clams Not Really Happy, Say Experts

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...7/fd20b520.jpg

OSLO, Norway (AheadOfNews.com) - Marine Biologists at the prestigious Clam Study Center have determined that the expression "happy as a clam" is apparently not based on actual clam psychology.
Dr. Lars Nilsbokken, head Marine Psychobiologist at the center, says that clams are rarely happy in most environments. "Imagine that you have no eyes," he says, "and that you have no arms and legs, and that there is a constant battering of waves that prevents you from hearing well." He hunkers down and holds his thin hands above him, wiggling his fingers. "All you've got is a big mouth, and a foot."

"Now imagine that there is a psycho after you, who is hundreds of times larger than you, and has a sturdy shovel. You can't run, so you try desperately to hide, but you have to be at the surface of the sand to eat. At any moment, you may have to dig for your life, using your one foot." Dr. Nilsbokken's Reebok wiggles frantically in sympathy.

"So the answer is 'no', clams are not happy. Clams are neurotic, fearful, desperate, and lonely." Nilsbokken adds, "If you want happy, I recommend cats. Cats don't need anyone else to be happy, and sometimes, even if you don't want them to, they'll come over and be happy with you."
