Thank you. I guess I sort of danced around it, but that is exactly what I meant. Please don't title threads this way.

Only if you haven't had a job where you had to wash BILLIONS of them!

Actually, it is quite pretty. Just brings back memories of the kind I'd like to forget .

Have a good time! Be sure to take a picture of that giant fish you're going to catch!

there was a conspiracy among the Jewish bankers of the world If this were true everybody would be lining up at the nearest synagogue to convert and get in on the money. :wink: Hmm .... maybe that's not such a bad idea ..... :boggle: djm That would have been another good argument to present to Nikol...

I have never heard that theory before. When I saw the title of this thread I actually gasped and my heart started beating hard. I guess, having been a Beatle-maniac, I've just got some remains of those feelings yet inside without me even knowing it. The same sort of title is used here for people who...

It's already widespread. I'm afraid I've never encountered this (not from anyone who was serious, anyway). djm I worked for a short time with someone from Russia who was taught in his home to be anti-Semitic. He had been taught that there was a conspiracy among the Jewish bankers of the world. I qu...

the conspirators will turn out to be wearing yamulkas. That is a surprisingly bigoted statement about the Jews. Would you please elaborate? Yeah, I read it wrong the first time, too. I was just going to say the same thing---it took me a few times---nothing against jim's writing, just took me a whil...

I'm not a squeezeboxer myself :lol: but it is indeed a very nice image for a number of reasons. I've been up to Nova Scotia, including Cape Breton Island, a few times and to Vancouver Island and I'm really hoping to visit Newfoundland one of these summers. Good accordion music gives me one more reas...

Oh, I bet you thought you were being so subtle too. Your fetish is NOT a secret, dude. Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute. Nurse one vice in your bosom. Give it the attention it deserves and let your virt...

The other fives on the $5 bill are larger than the other numbers on the other bills. I don't know about the purple. Perhaps some powerful politician(s) has a purple ink plant in their district. Yeah, okay, I could see that :lol: . The new $5 note is being introduced as an afterthought, and thus con...

This is truly trivial so you may want to just move on! Okay, here are the redesigned fronts and backs of the $10, $20, and $50 bills: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney/images/features/thumbnails/ink_10_sm_new.jpg http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney/images/features/thumbnails/low_vision_10_sm_new...

I love to watch tap dancing. I took a couple of classes in it as an adult just for the exercise. I'm not a dancer, that's for sure---maybe that explains all my problems :lol: , using the old noggin too much. I also love people who do basketball dancing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ls3_i2VrFU&...

What about calling an Irishman a Paddy or a mick!!! RORY Where I have lived (US), "mick" would be considered a very derogatory term. I have not heard the phrase "a Paddy" used that same way (I'm not saying it isn't), but I sure wouldn't use it because common sense would just tel...

Arrrr! Thought ye'd say "hi", did ye? Sink me! What sort o lingo be that? Say, matey, I've got a letter o marque from the king himself---and it's real. If yer lookin' to avoid dancing the Jack Ketch waltz, we could use a little sprog like you right now. It's a sweet trade if yer willin' a...
