The Not so Serious thread VI

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Ive usually been doing fairly well...not today. It took me six and a "phew" from Mr.Wordle.

Great, I'm learning. Now I know what gender Wordle is.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Great, I'm learning. Now I know what gender Wordle is.

It's a lot of luck as well.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

It's a lot of luck as well.

Luck doesn't fit. Do you mean lucky?

 

[Bristle Boy]

Luck doesn't fit. Do you mean lucky?

Thanks Rick...I've been spelling it Luckie for years.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Thanks Rick...I've been spelling it Luckie for years.

My dad liked Lucky Strikes...that's how my little sister was added to the family...my mom didn't feel so lucky at the time.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Thanks Rick...I've been spelling it Luckie for years.

I understand; it's that crazy British spelling.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I understand; it's that crazy British spelling.

Hilarious, Rick, and so true. The British often add at least one or two additional letters to spell a word. Here's one that tickles my funny bone...programme.

Yeah. Even abbreviations. At Oxford the departments of mathematics and economics had a competition. The econ professors won and the maths professors lost.

Make sure he's not really a frog in disguise.

Exactly. I know...Peg's there.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Now there is great new way to get your hikers wool. On this site:
https://mykiwisheep.com/
you can adopt a Merino Sheep and then when your sheep is shorn they will process the fleece in any way that you want and then send it to you.

Be cautious. Peg and I once adopted a whale. We never got any wool.

Did Jonah at least pop out?

 

[Bristle Boy]

Did Jonah at least pop out?

I think Jonah got a bit lost here.
Obviously not a Pilot Whale.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I think Jonah got a bit lost here.
Obviously not a Pilot Whale.

A good thing it wasn't a Killer Whale or no one would have ever seen or heard from Jonah again.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Did Jonah at least pop out?

Yes, and he lived to tell the tale.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I think Jonah got a bit lost here.

The whale too. I disappeared.

We may have been the ones fleeced.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

The whale too. I disappeared.

We may have been the ones fleeced.

Rick, where are you?
I have been fleeced several times by humans, but no whales took advantage of me. Maybe you should adopt a turtle next time.

Hey, you could help fund Turga's next Camino! His lodging costs are exorbitant..he a very slow walker.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

It disappeared.

I didn't correct fast enough and now everyone thinks I'm dumb.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

It disappeared.

Rick, you will never be considered dumb on this forum...your IT skills are stellar; following right behind are your PUN skills.

[Bristle Boy]

Nope it's a numbers game instead of letters.

British data scientist launches maths version of Wordle called Nerdle

The game - created by Richard Mann, from London - has a similar concept to Wordle but instead of guessing letters, players guess numbers and mathematical symbols to create an equation.

1 is the loneliest number.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

"...Two can be as bad as one,
It's the loneliest number since the number one."

 

[Bristle Boy]

I figure any number from one to nine is a bit of a lonely number...any more is a couple.

Ironic, isn't it, that the Wordle word of the day can't be Wordle.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Ironic, isn't it, that the Wordle word of the day can't be Wordle.

How about Wordl, without the E.
The game is apparently a sensation around the world...ironic it's not called Worldly.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Ironic, isn't it, that the Wordle word of the day can't be Wordle.

It's ironic that the word wasn't IRONY

 

[Camino Chrissy]

It's ironic that the word wasn't IRONY

MAYBE it will be coming soon.

 

[Bristle Boy]

MAYBE it will be coming soon.

Please do not confuse me....I still struggle with three letter anagrams.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Please do not confuse me....I still struggle with three letter anagrams.

Apparently I struggle with anagram...had to google to refresh myself. Your three letter anagram struggle is hilarious.

 

[Bristle Boy]

I may struggle with three letters but I am an expert at four letter words.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I may struggle with three letters but I am an expert at four letter words.

And what would those be? Do you refer to anagrams, or are you thinking of a few choice rude words?

 

[nycwalking]

MAYBE it will be coming soon.

To a theater near you.

 

[Bristle Boy]

To a theater near you.

Theatre doesn't fit. Only five letters required...try THETR.
If the word doesn't fit....make it fit.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

MAYBE it will be coming soon.

Hmmm.

To a theater near you.

"It" came and went.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Theatre doesn't fit. Only five letters required...try THETR.
If the word doesn't fit....make it fit.

Humour didn't fit either the other day...I made it fit.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Humour didn't fit either the other day...I made it fit.

I had noticed how they made a six letter word fit into five.
I'll be checking to see how they make a four letter word like MATH fit into five letters
Oh...I've worked out how...They will spell it MATHS

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Yes, occasionally they will make a word plural...hence Maths.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

If the word doesn't fit....

quit.

 

[Bristle Boy]

quit.

And if you are close with Wheat.

CHEAT.

There is hope for me yet. One day those wide collared shirts, flared trousers and medallions will make a comeback and I will be ahead of the game.

Chris gave me a tour of the bus she used to live on in her hippie days and said it would be okay for me to make a video showing it off. Peg and I decided to upgrade from our teardrop if we could order a 60 foot version with front and rear phasers to handle slowpokes and tailgaters.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

NYC, I'm sorry. I just discovered on the news that you just missed making the Olympic snow boarding team. We'll be watching for you though when the TV cameras scan the Superbowl stadium seats in LA. If you see them panning your way wave your board.

This "motorhome" is closer to the one I lived in 1977-1980 except ours was the "deluxe model" as it was longer. We brush painted it white with two racing stripes in brown and rust which were popular colors at the time.

One good thing though...they never found my hiding place

 

[Bristle Boy]

Sometimes there is a giggle in the most unexpected places.
This evening I was watching Channel 4 in the UK and there was a report on inflation and the subsequent rise in household shopping and food prices.
We have a supermarket chain called "Iceland" and they interviewed the Managing Director. (Iceland specialises largely in freezer products).
When questioned on what efforts the firm was doing to assist their customers the Managing Director responded by saying...and without any hint of irony or smile.
"On many products we are freezing prices".

Iceland (supermarket) - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Sure wish I could think of a good pun to keep this on topic, BB, but I got nuthin'.
I thought Iceland was only an island...I learn new things on the forum almost every day.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

You remind me what I heard about in Australia 50 years ago. Lots of cows there and happy ones too. You can expect really good butter. One firm thought they could do really well with exports to the UK. They didn't. And that's the story of Kangaroo (brand) butter.

I had to chuckle as well on reading the link and opening "controversies".
It appears Iceland (the country) took exception to the Supermarkets name.
During the spat that went through the courts they bought up the fact that the Supermarket has only existed in recent times and Iceland (the country) had existed since the 800's.
That rather shocked me....the decor of the supermarket made me think it was older than the country.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I had a cartoon incident happen to me about an hour ago. I slipped on a banana peel while carrying a six pack of expensive imported beer in bottles and two boxed wines. We are all okay as I managed not to fall and not to drop anything. I was walking between two cars in an asphalt parking lot and the peel had turned black from our sub-freezing weather so it was invisible.

Imagine the slickest ice you ever stepped on and then imagine spraying a can of WD-40 on it.

But who trademarked the name first? Come to think of it I've never seen a sentence like "Reykjavik™ is the capital of Iceland™."

 

[Bristle Boy]

Yes...and I have often been confused and muddle them both up.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Yes it is, and I've seen it before when my sister vacationed in Iceland. What is so funny? Must be "over my head"...nothing new there.

Peg watched lots of videos of that as if they were porn. I haven't been able to explain that hot has a few meanings.
