Have you met Ruby, Gordon?
I'm thinking of sending her to you.

Especially since she will be in NY anyway - kicken dem legs -

What legs?

You mean flippin' dat skateboard?

MMMMMM well she can surely go along with me on my inline skates through the city... if she was able to come with her skates.. it's not so much the excercise that tones one using them... it's the butt clinching fear you'll die at any moment ... that has it so toneing.. I haven't had a skate board since the one in high scchool... we only had steel wheels on them back then..

I sweah, Gordon, you just made me smile right out loud.
'butt clinching fear....'

Oh how funny.

I grew up on steel wheels too, on roller skates.

With a key.

Robin.

I still have a skate key around here somewhere

You got a brand new key. ♪ ♬

I know, I know, somebuddy might bring up the old controversy about innuendos and such, but only ugly minds will do that with such a cute bouncy song. And Vic's words reminded me of it.

Cute, Vic.

Psst, I gotta key

Whooooo hooooooo!!!
Bubbles, you're the best!

OH..I was scrolling down to post the lyrics when I saw your post of them... after thinking of the innuendos..don't guess my reputation can stand too many more.. so I was happy ypu posted the words... which got me to thinking of innuendos in very popular songs... which brought to mind...
yes.. I remember the dance craze song of a few years ago... Macarena.. the references here... innuendos if you will.. were never revealed or spoken/written of through out the craze... which had millions if not billions of yound ladies [ and everyone ] doing this everywhere...... it was all just a popular song to me when on one of the plant forums I was writting with a person from Porto Rico.. and heard him refer to the preying mantis with it's spanish name... you guessed it ..Macarena... a lovely insect where after/during mating the female will cut off the head of the male ... move with me... come dance with me... right ...
in the song... " He was no good so I … " well the missing words were I cut off his head because he was no good... [ that got him going ]
"There is a decided advantage for the female, however, if she does decide to behead her lover. The praying mantis brain, located in his head, controls inhibition, while a ganglion in the abdomen controls the motions of copulation. Absent his head, a male praying mantis will lose all his inhibitions and consummate his relationship with wild abandon. " [ he was better then ]

"And what if she's hungry? For certain, a slow moving and deliberate predator like the praying mantis is not going to pass up an easy meal. If a male makes the unfortunate choice of a hungry female for a mate, he's probably going to be toast once they've mated."

hince the holding onto the head in one of the dance movments...
so.. these millions of kids dancing to the old story of copulation and death ...
innuendos... that no one ever knew of... and I've never heard this refered to in any way ...anywhere..
but I'm somewhat a student of why .. among other equally useless endeavors..

". . . a student of why . . ."
Actually, you are a fount of knowledge is what you are.

I never knew that, none of it, and I for sure didn't know macarena meant praying mantis.

But I like your phrasing: "a student of why"

That could be said about a lot of us, you know.

Huh. I knew none of that, Gordon! Thanks!

Gordon, I didn't know that either and good for you for being a student of why. I have tons of questions always. Google is my friend

Sandi on the key

Watch out, Gordon, Ruby has an accomplice, er friend, in that clear backpack. I know nothing about her and don't want to,
