Righto!

 

[Bristle Boy]

You can never rely on the news for accuracy nowadays...its all fake.
I turned on the news and there was a report about a car being driven on the wrong side of the motorway (freeway). I was worried it was where my wife was travelling so I phoned her to warn her.
She told me it wasn't just one driving the wrong way....they all were.

Exaggerations are so underrated!

Never has a truer word ever been said.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Congratulations.

All words are true.

Truer words were never spoken.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I've spent my whole life trying to understand hyperbole.

I've never spent a moment trying to understand it, I just use it all the time.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

The "Not serious" thread is seriously only full of facts...nothing fake about it.

 

[nycwalking]

I've spent my whole life trying to understand hyperbole.

Hyper: energetic.

Bole: tree trunk.

Hyperbole. energetic tree trunk.

Explanation simple.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Hyper: energetic.

Bole: tree trunk.

Hyperbole. energetic tree trunk.

Explanation simple.

Got it!!!!

Under: Directly below
Stand: To have an upright position supported by ones feet.

So it's to stand directly under an energetic tree trunk.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Standing under the tree you can only hope there are no elephants hiding in it.

And to be more anal yet...standing under a tree "trunk", you would be literally underground entwined with it's root system...me thinks.
Possibly I am a pedant.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Exaggerations are so underrated!

I know! Exaggerations "make the world go round"!

 

[Turga]

I know! Exaggerations "make the world go round"!

Good thing it doesn't make the world go flat or square or hyperbolic...

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Good thing it doesn't make the world go flat or square or hyperbolic...

Good point, Turga! You are very perceptive!

 

[Bristle Boy]

Good point, Turga! You are very perceptive!

Correction...he is the most perceptive dude in the universe.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Correction...he is the most perceptive dude in the universe.

I think you have been drinking to say that...and we know Turga has been!

On to new business.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

That are your words but are they true ???

No, not really. I'm not that handy. I had a contractor put the stairs in. I finally found one that would do it but only at night when no one could see his name on the truck.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I'm spending too much time on this English language forum and not enough time in Spain. I just saw a Camino movie trailer where they showed an arrow shaped sign and on the sign was written "Camino de Santiago" and I thought "That's weird, why is it in English?".

Seriously.

I couldn't see any cats.

I think the person who decided to call the speech impediment of not being able to sound your R's as a Rhotacism was just being mean.

Speaking of the club members...where is Wick today?

He is weeding!....weeding a book.

weeding a book.

The weeding part is correct. Weeding, watering, collecting compost and moving rocks and trying to do it all in the shade.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

The weeding part is correct. Weeding, watering, collecting compost and moving rocks and trying to do it all in the shade.

It sounds like a full time job, Rick...this should help.

Wick is a shady character indeed.
As a side note, he would have some help in the garden if he let Peg out to help him...we know where he keeps her.

Its NYC'S aunt who has the chiuhuahua....I've got the mace.

Its NYC'S aunt who has the chiuhuahua....I've got the mace.

Auntie’s in rehab.

I have the chihuahua but no mace.

I bought a no escape harness.

She escaped.

Luckily, for her I was there.

This was her second attempt.

The first was successful.

Down the street she went.

I was going to leave her there because she barks too much and I have NEVER cared for an animal.

My auntie would have been crushed so I got her, brought her back, and dosing her with doggie calming cubes.

No wonder "bad dog" is a bit tetchy...he might be suffering withdrawal symptoms.

I dislike Chihuahua's, sorry to say. I don't know how BB can stand his.

Dogs are not supposed to have chocolate. I'm sure it was wrapped up in a piece of bologna and given as a dog treat...even treats alone can calm pets...treats calm me.

I found anxiety meds for dogs at Petco.

The ones I purchased come in cube form.

Dog would not eat it.

So, I crushed it over her food.

It is working.

She only barks for hours instead of hours and hours.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Barbara, you out did yourself with that reply...totally brilliant! I laughed my bum off!
My mom wasn't a dog, but she always had to crush her meds up with the back of a spoon and stir them in a spoonful of jelly or she couldn't get them down.

 

[Turga]

It is working.

She only barks for hours instead of hours and hours.

It works on me in the exact same way!

My wife gave me one and it turned out to be a stock cube for gravy.

Which flavor was it... chicken or beef? (CC)

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I see a big hint for one.

In Fiji decades past I saw something similar, a sign outside a school giving the school's name, School for Crippled Chilren.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I got carried away. I intended to stop at $17M but Peg loves this coin and wanted another for her collection.
