Onion Rings with P-Babes Satdy

Who decided we should be smellin of jasmine or melon?
Will the scent of flowers & fruit up your snoot smooth our relations & soothe the inner brute?
I spose we decided by buyin the damn shampoo, but where's the choice? I don't see Pantene Sheer Volume with Pure Coffee Essence, or Garnier Scent of Summer (10% Aerogard) for Oily Hair.
And.
AND.
What's the etymology of "shampoo"? Do we regularly smear our heads with stuff named for it's being "a spurious imitation of, or counterfeit, crap"?

Revitalizing the Central Nervy System, the Prayerbabian way:

A week into two, of tropical nights, ceiling fan loping lazily round, shooing the warm breath of evening over skin still glowing from the broad, slow day; listening blissfully, distractedly, to the chorus of enlarged nature found in these restorative climes – mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-mm… & that funny little crickety sound amidst the calming insectrenade – mmm – y-e-eerdit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit–yeerdit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit – sounds like the first few bars of Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, heheheh.

Exactly like it. Ye-e-eerdit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit–yeerdit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit! & now I can’t stop hearing it -damn! Or completing the phrase -dittilit-dittilit-dittilit-dittilit-dehhh… damn!! Damn you, frenetic circus music-making bug! Alternate image, quick. Also sounds like… a… geiger counter, quietly crackling away, counting harmless background rads, & my mind floats on soporific humidity to… Swiss surrealist H.R.Giger, who drew the “Alien” Aarrgh! Now I’ve got a radio-active Alien, jogging frantically to the Sabre Dance whilst throwing extendable, biting tongues with alarming inaccuracy at Sigourney Weaver on a rotating target! Duck Riplee-e-y!

The Band that Time Forgot – PBs Lomond Fri!

…fortunately, Time had it written down on a piece of paper, paps an envelope – about yea big – “I kno, I kno,” sez Time to Space, who is constantly, grudingly clearing up after Time, ” it may seem messy to you, but I kno where everything is!” “Oh, yeah?” sez Space – ‘”So you know where your rego papers are, & how it was due last week?” “… I…erm…’ parries Time, with a practiced eloquence.

& all the while a torn cream envelope peers from it’s orderly position on a shelf far, far away, unaware of it’s blue tattoos that say ‘ yer Dad rang” & “PRAYERBABIES THIS FRI 9 30 @ THE LOMOND”

Many layers of the Onion

At a multi-generational bbq, controversy arises when an unrelated child is admonished by the matriarch for pointing, laughing & imitating her breaking wind, emitting a sound akin to a hybrid of a duck’s quack & hitting a ripe, wet melon with an open hand. The issues raised & unforeseeable consequences throw modern parenting, corporal punishment, the hound’s-tooth fabric of our society & flatulence into, & latterly with, sharp relief.

The Plap.

Why the what? P-babesWreckSat 9til11

“The recession is perhaps not as bad as WHAT we expected”; oo, love that totally superfluous WHAT which is used with such abandon – DO hope we can hang on to it as the lingo continues to evolve… & has anyone else noticed the ‘sh’ {or even ‘sch’} which has crept into virtually any word with an ‘s’? – including the re-naming of our great nation, ‘Auschtralia’ – I can’t pick a hard-n-fast rule for it’s usage; any suggestions? Whilst we’re in the shade of the pedantree – do you really think omega-3 fatty acids like being called ‘fatty’? …bit of ‘do as what you’d be done by’ wouldn’t go aschtray…

Rumour is, you’re wearing purple elastic-less “Mr. Forgetful” underpants – I’ve got to tell the Press SOMEthing, the jackals! “Improvised Helmet for Home Safety Week” covered last months saucepan-stuck-on-your-head debacle, but this calls for drastic measures – commando will save us – be prepared to drop ’em, comprehensive, for the paparazzi when I give the nod.
