An Ullage Dozen (22): Kerfs and Scuffs

I once had a group of French citizens in my apartment.  They were showering Americans with invective, so I replied by mocking the French.  They all told me, with genuine indignation, how rude I was to so insult my guests.

Must I buy another bugle?
I should try to be more frugal.

There’s a thin line between a thin line and a thick line.

No matter how we squint and peer,
We cannot see the centrosphere.

There are no atheists in foxholes; they prefer fox-trots.

Many writers left no portraits; how satisfying to have no image of Marlowe, Lautréamont, or de Sade.

High above us floats a cloud;
We can’t float: we’re not allowed.

    Nice. Of course, I say buy the bugle…and the sneezing powder for the Bible sounds like fun….oooh and the flip book flip book …nice.

    I recently went a little crazy at shopgoodwill and bought over $200 worth of dolls…I posted some pics on my blog. I have about 150 now but I think I have some good ideas on how to transform them into something wonderful. Click over when you get a chance.
