Silly boy, [most canucks] are not allowed to play with dangerous explosives
such as firecrackers, since we've proven to be irresponsible in that regard
....;). So, although most of us live near the border, y'all are safe.

PS: btw, are Merks still suing McDonald's for making them fat? :) :)
Jane Margaret Laight
occasionally--ever since McDonald's quit settling out of court, they
have been finding other ways to make easy money...

next stop, Nunavut

They're about to sue *Tim Hortons* I believe. The concept of the suite
being, if *Timmy's* can put an outlet in Afghanistan for the Canadiqan
troops, then surely *Timmy's* can put one in Canada's far north, for
Canadian citizens. Sounds fair to me.
cheers......Jeff

By all means do! It's quite true for the most part. "Stingy" on the
other hand ;-)
S Viemeister
Indeed. Thrifty and stingy are not at all the same.

I have noticed that people of a certain age who have lived through and
remember the Depression years are among the thriftiest of all people,
despite all the money they may have banked. This isn't a judgment,
btw, just an interesting phenomenon WRT to people who recall the
trauma of "losing it all".

Their thriftiness may well be the _reason_ they have money in the bank...
La N.
But, many of them are afraid to spend it, to spend money on
themselves. Money sitting in the bank accumulating until they die
does them no good. I actually had a banker friend comment on this.
He said that elderly little ladies, especially, would come to the
teller, withdraw 20 or 30 dollars from an otherwise abundant account
feeling guilty about not leaving enough for the kids when they are
gone. He's the one that told me that this was Depression-era
mentality.

I think he meant "dinghies."

I'm certain that must make some sort of sense within the
mothed-out hollow corridors of your brain, but for those of
us who are _not_ dwelling in a Permanent Acid Flashback,
it merely seems obtuse.
(I do enjoy your Olde-Timey spelling of the word "ass," though...)

Short for Dingleberries; bend over - no, further...
...further still - now, look *Up*. You see them?
Yes, there - that's what Dingies are.

And finally, for your gustatorial delectation:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dingleberry
I quote:
"Vaccinium Erythrocarpum, the dingleberry,
sometimes produces berries of excellent flavour,
which are used locally for jellies."

No.
It derives from "Dangies" which derives from "Durn" which derives from
"Damn".

Yes, I see them.
They bear a strong resemblence to you.

Apparently there are "jurisdictional differences" in the meaning of
the words such that a dingleberry is often close to a dangleberry but
not necessarily in the same sense IYSWIM. ;-)
