    It is IMPOSSIBLE to understand the numerous “bizarre decisions”

    What to understand, remember W Clinton’s meeting with L lynch on the runway of the Phoenix Airport.

  2. @ honeybee:
    It is IMPOSSIBLE to understand the numerous “bizarre decisions” taken by the FBI and Comey in particular in Clintongate! Is he perhaps protecting the country against a major scandal concerning the Pr.?

  6. @ honeybee:
    I am a vegetarian although I eat fish and eggs. My teeth are all there, even the wisdom teeth, even at my age. Old fashioned dentists didn’t believe of pulling good teeth if unnecessary. I use them well. You’re not suggesting that I eat a hunk of Longhorn steer whilst it’s still alive are you.Or does the steak just jump off the plate….. I know I’m tough, and can weave blankets from the hair on my chest (although so can a gorilla) but I prefer my (symbolic) meat well cooked.

    Just a vignette I’ve read that some Tartar tribes used to cut a slice from their live horses, which would heal and they’d be as good as new, ready for another slice. Their wealth was in horses…

    Many years ago I was in Japan on business. My Trading Company official took me ou to dinner, and suggested a steak. He went into panegyrics about steak, and I found out that there were almost no cattle in Japan, and what there were, were looked after better than family members. A single cow was often the family’s only valuable possession. They were massaged 3 times a day, rubbed with oils and etc. Better than a beauty parlour. Now this was in the 1960s, and the offered steak cost $110 dollars. I was dumbfounded, as a similar steak in Canada was about 90 cents.

    I know about the Brahma breed from India, they’re the ones with the hump at the neck. I always thought that buffalo were placid which was the reason they were wiped out so easily, and only became ferocious when defending a calf. At least that’s what Buffalo Bill Cody’s memoirs said. I read it a long time ago, and thank you for the correction.

    I’ll keep away from buffaloes if I happen to meet any whilst walking down the street.

    You see, I can sling a little Texan myself sometimes…

  10. More scandalous actions at FBI!
    Cover-up for illegal BHO-H connections?????
    For the left it is common practice to give immunity to witnesses!!!! How common is for a Sec of St, trying to become Pr of the US, been caught red-hand while committing malfeasance against her own country? The KGB & Allinsky would be proud!
    Women democrat must be proud to support a woman outsmarting men’s malfeasance! BRAVO!
    FBI chutzpah!!

    You need a treatment in MIss Pinkerton’s Academy

    I don’t think Miss Pinkerton would survive. Those school must have been horrible places.

    Austin Said:

    no fat, and much healthier to eat than any other similar animal. A hardy breed indeed

    I am not familiar with the condition of your teeth, but if intend on consuming range beef they had best be well anchored. Longhorns a very dangerous animals, rugged and aggressive.
    I would recommend prime “fed out” fat beef. I have friends who raise grass fed Angus, but they ship to solely to ” high end” restaurants in the East and Japan.
    Buffalo have little fat, but again dangerous. They don’t fair well south of Big Springs, Texas. The best breeds for South Texas have some Brahma.

  14. @ honeybee:
    Can’t type or spell…..(You need a treatment in MIss Pinkerton’s Academy) Is this typically a Texan trait…. I don’t think that GWB can either, and you and he are the only Texans I know about these days.

    By the way, I see that there is a reviving of the Texas Longhorn. It is regarded as having almost no fat, and much healthier to eat than any other similar animal. A hardy breed indeed. Would feel right at home with cactus and hollyhock. Luckily it has no taste for roses. I’ve read that they were so far ranging in their grazing, that they would routinely walk back 2 days to get to water. That’s my style, vegetarian though I am.

    NTC

    NYC I can’t type or spell!!!!!

    Austin Said:

    different colours of Texas Beauty in my garden. My favourites from about 60 rosebushes.

    I tow rose bushes, caged to protect them from the Deer. I raise cactus and hollyhock . They grow without to much care.

    Range war, ya betcha Sugar, and I won.

  17. @ honeybee:
    Dark curly hair or not, (wasn’t a Temple movie called “Curly Top”- or am I in error) I have had several different colours of Texas Beauty in my garden. My favourites from about 60 rosebushes.
    Actually they were all my favourites….. I wouldn’t have a rose which wasn’t beautifully perfumed. Even a matter-of-fact logical type like me would go into the garden just to inhale…..exhale too.of course.

    Has it occurred to you that if I post to you on “Chit-Chat” and you don’t bother looking at it, it will effectively rein in our now rare “titillating” exchanges.. Other readers must be very well fed up with our long-distance postal exchanges, and I wouldn’t blame them.

  18. Austin Said:

    curly headed blond girl

    Austin Said:
    I have curly dark hair. No self respecting Texas would move to Canada. Unless it’s for oil.

    for Chit-Chat,

    Austin Said:

    Tracked down Chit-chat and am now posting on it.

    As for TB,

    The reason my family came West from NTC when they arrived on the shores of USA.

  19. @ honeybee:
    ALL the girls were Texas beauties, even the “dawgs”. It meant blazing guns to suggest otherwise. Even the nicest rose was a “Texas Beauty”…

    Seriously, on one of my trips across the Atlantic, I think on the Mauritania,(?) I met a few girls, all attractive but the real beauty was a healthy looking, curly headed blond girl, authentically from Texas, resembling both Shirley Temple and Rita Hayworth….. I could even understand her speech because of my familiarity with the movies…… Was even thinking of moving to Dallas……. Oh those happy days. She gave me her address, but since I was going to Western Canada, I didn’t write……. It may even have been you-hoo….?

    As for Chit-Chat, you obviously don’t want to use it…what’s the Texas expression for a balky steer, I’m afraid to say it…. because it’s as easy to find as I’ve described. It has over 2500 comments in it.

    Did you know that the Israeli Embassy in London, is the original house built by Thackeray where he lived, and died from stroke. As for TB, I could tell you some horror stories about that, from close experience. Lost me friends, and a few relatives, one VERY close.

  22. @ honeybee:
    Oh yes, I know all about the lack of heeding ther law in Texas..from the cowboy movies my latr father and I were always fond of watching. He, after a hard business day, said the simplicity rested his brain, and I….. well…I thought they were pretty simple too…. never hid their tracks well enough to evade retribution, which always arrived, in the last 10 minutes.

    Including the hero getting the girl…which was another form of punishment…

    By the way, you made no mention of my post about the “Chit-Chat”.

  28. HONEYBEE CAN YOU HEAR ME…….. I’ve discovered where the Chit-Chat is. I just saw it in the column on the left hand side of the page. I could have sworn it wasn’t there when I looked yesterday. But it is, but on the first page. a little way down and rather slim, just about an inch or so deep.

    So, When you tell me you’ve discovered it, we can correspond on items other than what are on the page, as we are supposed to. I don’t know why Ted didn’t transfer them. I recall that several times a month or two ago he wrote that items not about the subject of the column would be removed and, as he called it, “trashed”. I don’t think he meant “beat with a stick”, or “punched on the jaw”.

  30. Ted, please step in to the rescue. A particular post , an answer to Honeybee’s # 9 on this page has been refused by Word Press-I think- at least 6 times. Each time I rephrased the post so I had to write out 6 slightly different posts.

    I consider that it included interesting information not only to Honeybee, but also to others who are interested in things Israeli, even if peripheral.

    I’m sure this will go through because everything I posted did, except those particular 6 items on the same subject.

  32. There’s a particular item, a reply to Honeybee’s #9 (109) which I have printed 4 times in the past 45 minutes, pressed the “send” and it then disappears into oblivion. Wherefore….??

    Maybe this will follow…..but if this is printed why the disappearance of the others.

    Who cared-nobody. After all, George Bush, got degrees from both Yale and Harvard, and couldn’t pronounce n-u-c-l-e-a-r…… !!

    Sugar pie Darlin don’t yawl be trashing the language spoken in the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!
    It is a credit to Mr. Bush that he retained his linguistic identity whilst attending those bastions of Yankee culture.

  40. @ honeybee:
    I always had enormous sympathy for Becky, a very dysfunctional family, yet at a good school where the owners, THE Miss Pinkerton gave her a tough time and used her. A very poor, clever girl with a strong heart in a solidly man’s world, with no way out but to scheme and plan. Which she did.

    The opening chapter where they are leaving school together, and Amelia is being given a bouquet and Becky nothing is sad, sad. Although the usual “dixionary” was sneaked to her by the softy Miss Jemima.

    I am very fond of Thackeray, who himself had a very sad life and died far too young. Almost forgotten today unfortunately. Such beautifully phrased language, for 6-7-800 pages….. Just think; no typewriters then, and iron nibs were just coming on the market.

  41. @ honeybee:
    I promise I won’t mention Mason again, except one little thing. In a long a very funny monologue (my opinion only) I have on an LP somewhere, it seems the Fire Brigade came around collecting funds for fire control. Mason continued…”MONEY they wanted, what use is money, I’ll send them 50 gallons of water, that’s what they need.”.

  43. @ honeybee:
    No, Florian was actually a detective character, although he wasn’t very good. But his character was though to be very funny and used to be on the Saturday Evening Post for I think over 10 years. But all that stuff, harmless and funny as it was, became doomed when political correctness crashed in on us. I don’t mind saying that I thought they were funny, not so much because of the dialogue in the vernacular, but because of the situations that arose. They are very rare today because of the afformentioned condemnation of even breathing the words “cullid”. My former wife, who was a South African “non-white” lady, thought they were very funny. The humour of course, the dialect was passed over. In my youth, I actually knew black people who spoke exactly as portrayed, and was friendly at College with 3-4, who stuck together most of the time. I also knew a couple of black musicians who spoke in southern dialect..

    Who cared-nobody. After all, George Bush, got degrees from both Yale and Harvard, and couldn’t pronounce n-u-c-l-e-a-r…… !!
