    Zuzu, I don't think hiring a badger was a good idea. He will be adding all sort of structural weaknesses and after a few weeks the whole shoddy lot will eventually crumble and all that will be left is a very embarrassed gnome in the nip :oops: (I will be in the shower when it crumbles, naturally).

    Did you know that gnomes have an intense fear of Barbara Streisand? It's true.

    And I suspect Barbra is terrified of gnomes as well. She loves "People, people who love people!" Nowhere are gnomes mentioned. She does love badgers and even weasels, I hear.

    Barbra

    :mrgreen :D :D

    maybe if she tried singing a song to them, there would be no fear....
    :oops:
    Would you say knomes and badgers have a secret orgainization.....Unknown to mankind? or womenkind?

    The Badgers and knomes have added giraffes to their ranks and call themselves the KGB. Capt Kirk, call your troops. Frank may be in danger again and from Barbra Streisand, of all people.

    Don't feel like the lone stranger, Frank, we're all afraid of Barbara,
    she's a really scary chick. [​IMG]
    And I, for one, never bought that she "loves people who . . ." business, either.
    Not for one minute. No sirrie!!

    As to the badger, I'm in a bit of a pickle on that score.
    I can't discharge him until such time as I might see him again, if ever.

    If you recall, he was to personally dig the rather extensive foundation, quite a complicated
    excavation, due to the many requirements listed by a certain un-named Gnome.[​IMG]
    The giant media room, 12 lane bowling alley, grand ballroom and olympic sized pool
    must all be situated on the lowest subterranean level
    to minimize the very sort of collapse you've described, Frank.

    The last I saw of the badger was a wisp of tail fur disappearing down the diggings
    some 3 weeks ago after the two of us spent several hours consulting the plans.

    I was beginning to think that perhaps he had fallen into a state of hibernation somewhere,
    until one of my neighbors recently told me of being awakened one morning
    to the sounds of scratching and muffled cursing beneath their bedroom floor.

    At this point, I don't know if he's still on the job or just hopelessly lost down there.
    Aside from the guilt I feel at having to feign innocence to my neighbors,
    I am now a tad concerned that the entire island might be undermined
    and slowly sink into the sea.[​IMG]

    hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    zuzu

    Your braver than the average bear.

    maybe tonite while your sleeping. You may get a knock knock on your door.
    Maybe the badger went to the Super Bowl game?

    Taa daaaaaa.

    Don't blame gnomes at all for Babophobia. She gives me the creeps too.

    It is only a problem if it interferes with your normal life style. If insanity is your normal life style, no problem.

    Can you get a webcam on that little house thing? I'm quite sure I saw Arthur Dent in the window a moment ago.
    D R, I keep meaning to ask. is that adorable jerboa-mouse a drawing done by you?
    Pete, don't know anything about scotch, but Captain Morgan spiced Rum makes awesome cookies. The alcohol cooks out, tsk. My sis-in-law accidentaly got looped once eating licorice Knox Blox that my brother made with Ouzo, and the alcohol Didn't get cooked out. Ooops! Hm, I bet my resident gnomes would appreciate a plate of those in this rainy weather.
