Tools

[Mancklin]

It has begun to dawn on me that a lot of you gals out there are using tools. Like, dictionaries and stuff. Whereas I have been doing it out of my head. So to speak.

I believe the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons had tools. Chimps too. So maybe I should go carve me a piece of antler.

Hi Mancklin! These new-fangled dictionaries and things they call thesauri aren't so bad. If y'all happen to come across one while huntin' down that moose, you could maybe take a look! Don't know that it'll help ya git all them words, though....lots of them ya kinda havta find in yer own brain, if'n ya got one!

Yup, I do believe they are sold in those bitty little kountry mini-marts out yonder in the boonies. Make good reading by the campfire. Just don't let the hounds git a-holt 'a one. Theyre mighty tasty eatin' with a little BBQ sauce!

You think???
You may be right...i hold up my hands and confess...  ..i use a pen and paper [or maybe a pencil when i can't find a pen]  and once revealed, i do write down in a notebook all the words that i hadn't found...then i look em up and try to use them.. does that make me a Neanderthal...
As yet i have never used the online dictionaries...i only discovered where they were the other day.. DAAAAAh!!
And i am far to lazy to go through a dictionary...and the ones i have got certainly don't have the really weird words in...cos i struggle to find them anywhere...
But it comes down to whether you can be bothered or not really....i can't be, nor am i...bovvered...
But that is why i can't really be bovvered with the standard game...apart from the fact that it takes me so long to do the challenge game and i don't have time...it seems that there may be folks who get the word list on another comp and enter them...
We have posted about this before i believe....
Just do what suits you Mancks...but you sound very cross about it...life's too short mate...

Were you guys in 'Deliverence'
This is all a bit too scary.....
I'm going to watch the Waltons now..or Little House on the Prairie...to get back to 'NICE & NORMAL'
 

[Binkie]

Mancks, my esteemed and erudite acqaintance.....not for a moment did I mean to question your undoubted intelligence. I abase myself before you...I beg you to forgive my momentary lapse of manners....perhaps you may find it in your heart, in the fullness of time, to overlook such impertinance.
I remain your devoted and humbled servant

And I just spelled "impertinence" wrong, didn't I ? How clever is that?

Hi Ms Binkington - i thought you were getting kind of tetchy with the constant abbreviation of your elegant monniker, so i thought i would de abbreviate it (what is the opposite of abbreviate- anyway - whatever it is i've just done it)

More poems please! how is the magnum opus on BBB going - i'm looking forward to reading it, so chop chop!

[Binkie]

How kind you are Viz.......perhaps I should be double-barrelled....Binkington-ffortescue, maybe!
As for the aforementioned magnus opium......give me time........us poets have to have inspiration, you know.....or at least enough of the bubbly stuff

[biggerbirdbrain]

Here, your ladyship, have another! I'll be in the corner waiting to pour ANYTIME, so that the Muse flows through amply and often.

your devoted butlerette,
3-B

hi ms Binkington-ffortescue - i like that new name -  quite regal - or Oscar Wildish (might end up as BF though knowing these  forumites.)  Have a glass of bubbles for me - actually - i might go and have one for myself - even better

ciao

[Viz]

hi again ms Binkington-ffortescue - i see you have the coveted rosette in the challange - what a star !

[Binkie]

Too, too kind................thanks most awfully. Fraightfully sorry, but the new name has had a strange effect.....must be orff now....toodlepip!
