Now I understand why so many things are "lost in the translation"....


" Bunden hund bykser ikkje lenger enn bandet rekk "

A tied dog does not jump farther than his cord.*

Yep, that one was really lost!. But, you need to be careful of that statement. Oroblanco told about one of his dogs that lured someone into the range of his cord. Not all dogs will let you know the length of the cord......

So true, gentlemen. But in the aforementioned instance, the dog I was referring to was Me.

I will try to be more careful with my metaphors.

As to those other mutts....why do you think I carry the cattle prod??

1. I, for one, would never think of you as a dog.
2. If you were, you would be one of the dogs that would keep the length of cord a secret.
3. I thought that the cattle prod was only for encouraging a certain person to work on his book. I guess I better be a little more careful in the future......

No thanks. You may need it with some of the other mutts....

Yes I did and further more -----oh well join me ?

 

[Ditlihi]

Aww...you're too sweet, JB. And a lady has to have some secrets ya know.

Truth is, Don Jose de Procrastinator has us all on a short leash till he decides to cease and desist his perpetual siesta and get busy. I'm thinking a good ankle biting campaign is in order. I'd be happy to chair the committee ....

Scary when you can tell some of the dogs breed from the back. I did notice that there were no Roadies on the leash there. The rope tail and hair ridge is easy to notice.

SWEET?? Are you trying to ruin my reputation? Just ask Don Jose how sweet I am!

I would be glad to join you, Don Jose. Either in our current virtual mode, or in person.

I will ask Dit after she bite you

 

[Shortfinger]

Thanks, Marius. As if i can't get myself in enough trouble, now you are asking Dit to bite me!

Fortunately, with her sunny disposition, i won't have to worry about that.

Gracias, Jefe, and I will forgive your " Lardy " description ....IF you will be so gracious as to share another story with us.

Boy, you really do have a sunny disposition! But i second the call for another story.

As a side note, I recently heard from Crow, and he asked me to pass on a hello and best regards to all. He (and the others) are still constrained from communicating, so we won't be hearing from them in the near future anyway.
