We also caught a tiger by it's tail, and made him pay $50. (I'd never heard the other version.) It seems to be my nephew's favorite car game. And he's turned it into a drinking game. Whoever is chosen has to take a drink of water. I'm not sure where he got the "you have to drink" thing.
How did the whole poem go, with the making him pay, bit? Where's the rhyme? We always said
tiger.
I don't know how old I was when I heard the racist version, but I didn't believe the person who told me that that's how it used to go, until
tiger
was made as a substitute. I figured some sicko had taken the
tiger
version, and made it racist. I think I came home to my mother, ranting about it, and she set me straight.
billytea, I am never going to forgive you for that Dr. Seuss bit. Tsk. I had forgotten all about the tea thing, over night. Now it will never go away, and you've tainted Dr. Seuss for me, too.
Theo, have a great time.
VM,
yeah, the listening in was skeeving me, too, even if it didn't surprise me that much, and I was just "huh?" with the karaoke.
It was really, Really, a lousy episode. I tried to switch over to House, but it wasn't there.

I have accomplished what Mike Myers could not! Huzzah!
Well, I knew better than to watch too much Mike Meyers. One Austin Powers was, indeed, more than enough.

It's always the ones you don't expect. I assume you didn't expect me to taint Dr Seuss?
I did not expect you to short-sheet my bed,
I did not expect you to do it, I said.
I did not expect you to daub me with paint,
I did not expect you to give me the taint.
I do not like it, billytea
It's bad! It's bad, as you can see!
I do not like it here, or there.
I do not like taint, anywhere!
I wish this argument would cease,
I wish you two would make some peace,
Please stop these silly little scuffles,
For I do not like Suess-ish kerfuffles.
Silly bothered DXMachina
You're joining in, you should be keener.
It's WAY too early for taint poetry.
From last night:
Kat, born and raised in Indiana, so I'm not sure about where I got "Shambo". Weird thing is, DH and I are both native Hoosiers (grew up 50 miles apart) and we both knew the term. Regional things like this fascinate me.
Also, I want to take my twin sister to that winery. She loves wine and this would make a good vacation for us. Their label slays me.
