ooh.. anagram



Carry on!

Edit: oops nvm.. someone beat me to it.

Darien Darien, as in "dumbest place in the universe to try and establish a colony"..? So, of course, that's what exactly we Scots tried to do! X_X Cue bankruptcy, shotgun wedding with our southern neighbo r, and funny red bits in our national flag. Have you tried it when no one was looking? I've ...

But motorcyclist never care if they get to their destination. My corner store is one kilometer away but it's 11 lefts and 15 rights. :-BD That is so true! I regularly take about an hour longer than necessary to get home from work because the route somehow modifies itself to include every road in ...

she's a few horses short of the full hooligan you really have to translate that one, I googled it, but I have no clue what it means Sorry, one of my "hobbies" is taking perfectly good idioms and mangling them beyond recognition.. :) Mats' explanation is pretty much spot on. AFAIK, the formula for ...

Ooh.. a "go faster toys" thread :-) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9VovHssLSuI/TziK9bftXNI/AAAAAAAABJw/kUfPSyUU8Cc/s640/IMG_0016.JPG Here's mine. At this altitude (7K+ feet), she's a few horses short of the full hooligan. But then, at my age, so am I. :- If I won the lottery (and there were any ...

My favourite word about to be consigned to the dustbin? Rewind. Hmm.. not sure about that... My bet is that "rewind", "dial" etc will be around for a long time yet. We still talk about a gun barrel, despite the fact that barrel making techniques haven't been used to make gun barrels for 500 years ...

One house, 2 hice ? Well Her Majesty QE2 (bless her) pronounces it one hice, two hices. ;-) with German I just use Dutch with umlauts stacked on :D works like a charm.

New Bike I looked at that one too. Could tell what it was in the pic by the trumpet style exhaust. :d It's ...

New clue iii) I have an LDA number.. Hmm.. had to go and look up "Moto3" (shows you how much I know :lol: ) I think if there is any connection it is mostly clever marketing rather than technical. This thing might have some "go faster" plastic bits on front & a racy model name, but it's as docile as ...

I have no idea what the fish is, but the bike looks to be a CBR125. Mats Close-ish.. it's the 250. I'm not sure if Honda sell the 125 here. I've never seen one anyway. There are no power/capacity limits for new riders, helmet laws or anything like that in this state. (Land of the free etc.) Anyway ...

Honda? :YMAPPLAUSE: Which one??? :-BD Two wheels or four? Two wheels.. A puzzle within a puzzle.. what am I? biketail.jpg Not going to break any speed records, but it's the biz' for summer commuting and 65mpg beats the heck out of the 16 my SUV thing sometimes manages (on a good day). Anyway.. New ...

I like anagrams..



P.S.
I thoroughly approve of your new wheels/avatar Mrs. Banana I came really close to getting one of those myself recently. But when I went out shopping I somehow came home with/on a Honda.

Not sure what this is..?
We've had a wee bit of weather recently, (but nothing compared to elsewhere in the US).

Nice try but.. no.

I've got a funny feeling you maybe read the clues on page 1 of this thread and are trying to guess that fish? We're on page one hundred and thirty some now ;) (But don't worry, you don't need to read the whole thread, unless you are a glutton for punishment! :) More clues ii) Theres some debate ...

i) My teeth are close together, but I still manage to be fat..

Here I just get kangaroos, wallabies, echidna, snakes,blue tongues lizards, all sorts of birds, and bloody funnel web spiders in my work boots if I leave them outside "just" ;-) Kangaroos, Echidna etc. are fairly exotic in my book. Wallabies maybe not quite so.. - we got those in the UK - I think ...

Nice photos!

It looks like you were quite close for some of the shots?
Did the mothers not get a bit twitchy about it?
I guess if they make their home on an RAF practice range they must be pretty laid back about life in general.. ;)

Is the describer Armbruster?

The picture of the bear hanging by its front paws from the line is a belter :) I saw a programme on telly about two guys (Norwegians or Danes I think) who got attacked by a polar bear, one of them had a handgun and emptied it into the bear, but only succeeded in enraging it. (it killed him). The ...

, . . . and our biggest danger is car accidents. I'm with you there.. the only time I've been truly frightened in this country was on the I-25. I think I might need some convincing to try swimming with Alligators though. :shock: (Oh, and welcome to PC!) Anyway, I opened the basement curtains this ...

Ha, it always looks a bit peeved does that cat. I bet your spooky wouldn't insult him to his face. He fancies himself as top predator in the garden. But the squirrels and rabbits see him coming a mile off. I don't think he's going to starve though. Mule Deer in the street this evening, shortly ...

:shock: Didn't know you were in the city limits! I suggested the starter pistol because I'm a wee bit squeamish about guns but I suppose an airhorn would be a good deterrent or maybe a vuvuzela like at world cup. :lol: There's probably a law against vuvuzelas within city limits as well. (If not ...

I don't know if the D.O.W is a county, state or federal agency, but the policy around here seems to be that if a bear learns how to enter houses it is "toast". I believe they destroyed at least six bears in that one week. The hillsides & open spaces round here are covered in scrub oak (= acorns) so ...

everything is bigger in the States, except the catfishes ;) The caterpillars are certainly bigger .. (than I've seen before) caterpillar.jpg I spotted this scuttling across the car park at work. The kind folks at bugguide.net identified it as a Papilio multicaudata (Two-tailed Swallowtail ...

The resident Magpies were doing more squawking than usual earlier... Guess they don't care for bears resting in the shade of their tree.
