This is the one in Chicago? My sister lives and works there. Might be that I could bring some rum and cheee and venison sausage to throw his way.

Bo

Sorry... got distracted making popcorn for the kids and double posted. ;)

oh we get to throw the cheese at him! I knew there was a reason besides the lectures that I was going to this thing.

Well Jim, the evidence for pirates with crossbows is better than... but surely you "shoot" a crossbow, not "fire" it? :lol:

Bo, if you could put the rum in some sort of powerful water pistol I could endeavour to catch it, and trust me, I'd really try hard!

John, how about a point-ed stick?

Chole, I believe what is actually meant to happen is that you are to cut the cheese into small mouthfuls and gently feed it to me while I'm fanned by a small slave boy...

Eewww...Foxe wants Chole to cut the cheese...

:lol:

I'll get to finding a small slave boy then. Do you suppose one could be hired from the same place I would find some elves?

Sorry I wasn't aware of your colonial metaphors...

Let's just say, I wouldn't throw her out of bed for cutting the cheese... :lol:

And quite rightly so! It's a game of retaliation... you withstand the first volley (hers), then wait to return fire - and in doing so, you drag the covers over her head! This counter-attack is known as the "Dutch Oven". :lol:

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

:lol: Mr. Foxe, I can honestly say you have rendered me not only speechless but a particularly bright shade of red!

Aaw poor Chole, I didn't mean to embarress you :lol:

...unless you mean you're blushing with delight :lol:

Someone had to do it. :P

Rocks at Foxe

Will you join me while he talks

Will you throw some rocks at Foxe?

I will not join you Mister Vox.

I will not throw those rocks at Foxe.

If he's wearing stripe-ed sox's?

Would you then throw rocks at Foxe?

He won't be wearing stripe-ed sox's,

I will not throw a rock at Foxe.

Say he has on Bucket boots?

while through his sea chest he does root?

Edward Fox, in bucket boots?

It would not happen, the point is mute.

I will sit there while he talks

I will sit and not throw rocks

What items he has in that box

I will see and throw no rocks.

Perhaps he's up there hours on end

speaks incessantly and begins again.

He knows his subject to be sure

listenings a pleasure not a chore.

Say he takes you up on stage?

Berates your garb in an endless rage?

Would you then consider these rocks

In my haversack for Mister Foxe?

No,

I would run him through with my peace tied, un-sharpened cutlass. :lol:
