More little nuggets from today's essays:* The men exchanged Frosty Stairs.
* At that time, I was a venerable sixteen year old.
* I would like to learn to surf hens this is why I want to move to Australia.
(In case you're not so battle-hardened to poor spelling as I am, the second one meant that he was "vulnerable" when he was sixteen and the last chap meant to say "- hence this is why...".)
That last one has me completely floored. Or should that be flawed?
ReplyDeleteThose poor hens!
ReplyDeleteHen Surfing is all the rage now, isn't it? Or was that last week....hmmm
ReplyDeleteSurf hens?
ReplyDeleteI never, never, would have figured out "surf hens" without your help! LOVE "Frosty Stairs." Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the translation - I'm usually pretty good at these, but I had NO idea on the hens/hence comment! I thought it was some way of describing a "rad" wave.
ReplyDeleteAustralia does have the best hen surfing in the whole world.
ReplyDeleteFrosty Stairs sounds like a stage name.
Hens on surfboards......there is a song that has the line Chicken in choppers, so surf hens works for me!
ReplyDeleteIs a venerable sixteen year old one of those people born middle-aged? Plenty of frosty stairs around Malvern town centre today, but the shoppers generally smile..
ReplyDelete(living, as we do, on a considerable slope, there are several parts of Malvern accessed by very long flights of steps from one level to another)
LOL! A few more to add to that book you are going to publish one day!
ReplyDeleteOh, these must give you smiles over and over again...
ReplyDeleteSurfing hens ... that's a brilliant one. And perhaps a new Olympic sport? Or should be 'Olympeck'?
ReplyDeleteprecious! lol
ReplyDeleteOh they are great, please keep posting them!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha-- I couldn't figure out what surf hens is -- thank you so much for the clarification. And the laugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Sad, but funny.
ReplyDeleteMy kids all spell this way. I get so frustrated.
ReplyDeleteonly had to read it twice to get the hens thing.... hahhaha..... gems and nuggets.... I'll say.....
ReplyDeleteWhatever became of some decent spelling and a bit of grammar?.... sigh.... gone the way of the dodo and dinosaur....
