The "gum drops" that the kookaburra eats in the song are beads of sap that form on the gum tree (also called a Eucalyptus tree). >[link]
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Huh. I'd never even thought about the gum tree in the song...
Also, thank you all for teh flirt-ma. It worked quite well. :) (Though note that it's 4AM and I'm home alone posting, so it didn't work *that* well, but I supose I only asked for "flirt"-ma, so I'm not sure I can blame that on the -ma!)

Timelies!
I had to skip several hundred posts.
I'm in Deleware with my cousin, her kids, and my aunt and uncle. We're having a fabulous time. Can't wait to show pictures of the kids. They are so cute! And so well behaved...
Happy Father's Day to all our Buffista dads!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Happy Birthday to Plei and Beathen!
We made it home late last night, and are getting ready to celebrate Father's Day at the ballpark. It's supposed to be 72 and sunny. Happiness.
Is it terrible if, though I'm glad we went to Alabama when we did, I feel a certain amount of chagrin that the two games we had tix to last week included Ichiro's 1000th major league hit and the M's first-ever victory over Pedro Martinez? The former we traded for our tix today; the latter went to our neighbors, who arrived home from the game just as we got home from the airport. A certain amount of gloating may have taken place.
