That's one of the most annoying things about visiting Scotland. Every time you go to take a photograph of the beautiful scenery some American gets in the way.
Sorry, MP! I had to guess who was taller, you+ or ++him... I'd really have preferred photoshopping Duncan into this pic, but I'm on a roll with the photo you supplied!

Mimo says she always wants to look her personal best, and she does not think looking fat is her personal best, even from a distance.
Cathy, you taking a picture of MP taking a picture of Mimo is into Bizarro World. And Mimo standing there letting the two of you do it, even at the cost of looking fat is...I'm without words.
Mimo and I had to keep an eye out for each other going through that field, I remember. We were knee-deep in cowpats and it was full of treacherous bogs. I won't mention whose idea it was to go there.
Excuse me - it was yours truly who led us all out of the treacherous quicksands to safety, thus foiling your plot to dispose of Mimo's body in the marshes, and foiling her plot to kill both of us using the same method. If that's not Australian pluck I don't know what is.
My goodness! I see that the situation deteriorated since I left.
I choose to take up the conversation where JCF left off and assume that he meant his comment as a compliment.
Thank you, JCF!
Although what Cathy says is true, I would not have missed the Circle of Stones, which I plan to write about. I'm quite proud of myself, because I didn't once say, "How much farther are the damn stones?"
Give up half way? I did not! And I have pictures to prove that I didn't give up. Through the sheep shit and the bog, I plodded on, with a little help from my friend, Cathy, who did, too, save the day.
Replying on here is like like praying with an icon... you don't pray to the icon, you pray through the icon. Likewise, we talk through Madpriest, not to him!
I seem to remember that if an email is sent with a question, it is eventually answered by the dear leader. Also, if a comment is clever enough, an answer is forthcoming. If i happen to double post, I will eliminate one of them myself. It's not that hard to do!
Actually, I assume that if two comments come in, the second might be a correction of the first. I don't check whether or not it is because life is too short.
That Mimo! She told me that she doesn't like the picture, because it makes her look fat.
ReplyDeleteNah. It's just the hands in the pockets that does that.
ReplyDeleteIt's so far away, how could you tell, Mimi?
ReplyDeleteoh that Mimo -- she is a caution (as my mother in law used to say)
ReplyDeleteSorry, MP! I had to guess who was taller, you+ or ++him... I'd really have preferred photoshopping Duncan into this pic, but I'm on a roll with the photo you supplied!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the most annoying things about visiting Scotland. Every time you go to take a photograph of the beautiful scenery some English bloke and some American get in the way.
ReplyDeletePS It's a part of Scotland where they practice human sacrifice. I think that may be what Mimo had in mind. She has that look in her eye.
ReplyDeleteNow, see, on the Great Frontier, we can simply pull out a gun and problem solved.
ReplyDeleteMimo says she always wants to look her personal best, and she does not think looking fat is her personal best, even from a distance.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you taking a picture of MP taking a picture of Mimo is into Bizarro World. And Mimo standing there letting the two of you do it, even at the cost of looking fat is...I'm without words.
Maybe Mimo isn't fat. Perhaps she's just a little short for her weight.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there was someone taking a picture of me taking a picture of Mad Priest taking a picture of Mimi. Who can say?
ReplyDeleteAh, maybe that's it! How tall are *you* MadPriest?
ReplyDeletePerhaps she's just a little short for her weight.
ReplyDelete...as a good many of us could say about ourselves.
Cathy, indeed, who can say? We may show up on Google Earth.
Susan, MP is average in height, in his own words, but perhaps he has the weight of a tall man.
Well, I like that. You say something nice and it's just thrown back in your face.
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase Alice Walker, "Mimo makes a landscape look more beautiful."
ReplyDeleteMimo and I had to keep an eye out for each other going through that field, I remember. We were knee-deep in cowpats and it was full of treacherous bogs. I won't mention whose idea it was to go there.
ReplyDeleteMimo makes a landscape look more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere are two ways in which that remark can be understood.
There are about 22 million Australians in the world and we got the wimp.

ReplyDeleteYou can't pluck and whinge. You have to choose one or the other.
ReplyDeleteMost singer-songwriters have been plucking and whinging at the same time for years. I don't see why I can't.
ReplyDeleteI was the hero of the day. I know that much.
My goodness! I see that the situation deteriorated since I left.

Neither did you give up half way and pretend that a couple of pebbles under some trees was the stone circle.
ReplyDeleteGive up half way? I did not! And I have pictures to prove that I didn't give up. Through the sheep shit and the bog, I plodded on, with a little help from my friend, Cathy, who did, too, save the day.
ReplyDeleteNo, that was definitely a stone circle under the trees, Mad Priest, there was just an even bigger stone circle a bit further on.
ReplyDeleteThey like their stone circles in Scotland.

ReplyDeleteI shan't comment on this any further. I was obviously with a different Australian and a different American at a different stone circle at the time.

ReplyDeleteIn one of that infinite number of parallel universes you keep writing about, Mad Priest.
Is Blogger crazy today, or is it my computer? I'm afraid my computer is dying.
ReplyDeleteWhy moderate through the comments that are double posts, Jonathan?

ReplyDeleteOr some crap like that.
+Clumber, you old dog, that's fecking brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI expect most men feel like icons when women are talking.
ReplyDelete"Or some crap like that." Yes, I see.

Well, you don't look like icons, that's for sure.

ReplyDeleteYou used to think we did up until you were turned.
ReplyDeleteEnough! I give up.
ReplyDeleteHOOOO!
ReplyDeleteand my word verification is:
veewee.
Make of it what you will...
I have plenty of stones in my yard. I will just make my own circle.
You used to think we did up until you were turned.
ReplyDeleteTurned?
