My son sometimes dresses up as a bear and tap dance on the tiles in the kitchen while growling and holding his stuffed "baby" bear! Thanks for reminding me!
Lately, in preparation for the upcoming recital, he has been an elephant instead, but it is still cute.

I love how people post on Hatrack 24 hours a day so that I always have something to read besides my homework.

So, how's the weather in Sweeden? Israel's shifting from mid-winter to mid-summer and vice-versa every 10 hours.

I admire the skillful and persistent derailment perpetrated on this thread by the last several posters. Well done!

Well, the weather in Sweden.. For the moment it is warm and sunny, not a cloud in sight ( And here I am inside by the computer). It's still the beginning of the spring, though, so during the night it can be a couple of degrees below zero (celsius).

What a marvelous knack you have for finding a way to make your comments about Swedish weather a compliment to the person who digressed so fully from the purpose of this site. For you showed him by your actions that his digression was, in fact, a good thing to do and well worth answering. No doubt you acquired this astonishing ability by sweating in a hot little room, then running out into the snow and beating yourself with sticks. Nothing would better demonstrate the worthiness of your words on this thread than for you to do it once more for us.

I like how you wrote out "way to go!" instead of abbreviating it "wtg!" People like you show me that laziness can indeed be overcome.

I must say, I was quite pleasantly surprised to note that your post referred in no way whatsoever to aquatic mammals!

My compliments on posting a completely random compliment! Really, bringing aquatic mammals into the conversation was a stroke of genius.

How perceptive you are, how in tune with the thoughts that float in currents through the aether of the collective mind of mankind.
For behold, this very night, while searching for a metaphor, I thought first upon walruses, and then upon the killer whale; yea, even Orca, the devouring mammal of the sea, who doth tear and rend even the mighty walrus, he who is great of tusk and thick with blubber, and quick to bark upon the ice and upon the rock.
And you have brought aquatic mammals before the eyes and minds of those who visit in the place of racking hats, at least insofar as their eyes and minds are connected.
And so to you, I give all praise that is in me to give, at 6:35 on a Friday morning, being the day after the day when garbage is collected in the place wherein I dwell, with a great roaring of truck engines and clattering of cans at an ungodly hour of the day.

Wow! That last post could win 1st prize in a Hemingway satire contest anyday! And who knows, if you win, you mght get hooked on the idea of being paid for writing things, and who knows where that could lead?

I am impressed by the chain of possibilities you have suggested. You must have a very good imagination to be able to think of all that.

I love the phrase "chain of possibilities"--it's evocative, poetic yet mathematical and lawyerly as well. Posts: 6316 | Registered: Jun 2003

Oh Napolean, Napolean! How you have superceded your prior brilliance in a little-known part of a beautiful rendition of a non-traditional love story Just Like Heaven.

I find it quite amazing that you were able to compare heaven to a short French dictator. I applaud you.

I love the way that your last post made me think of a perfect 4-fold universe, where each post would consist of 4 words each of 4 letters. You have 4 words and 16 letters in total, yet a little imballance reminded me that perfection is just an untouchable ideal.
Live long this time!

That's so clever! You illustrated your point about the impossibility of perfection with one -- and just one -- spelling error: like the American Indian tradition of making one intentional error in beadwork, to show humility before the Creator, who is the only one that can do something truly perfect. (It was also very generous that you gave me a hook. I only hope I can follow your example.)

I love that you complimented suminonA's provision of a hook, which gave me the opportunity to reflect upon the image of Dustin Hoffman in feathers, curls, and frilly lace.

Tante, O Queen of illustrious illustrations, where is your link? (perhaps the one with the 2 magnificent, yellow chicken...breasts?)

kq, it was awfully big of you not to point out Reticulum's spelling error. You always take the high road. (And that's why I'm always in Scotland before ye.)

Tante, I'm happy you shortened ketchupqueen to kq, as it benefitted us, by taking less time to read. Posts: 2121 | Registered: Oct 2005

Reticulum, I am very much interested in the idea of taking less time to read people's posts. Why, it is in that very spirit that I completely ignored your post and just looked at the magnificiently colorful smiley at the very end.
Thank you so much, you're such a time saver!

Rico, I am so inspired by your time saving that I am going to apply it to my grading, and only read the titles. Just think of the time saved!

I am so glad that someone still actually grades papers instead of just giving credit for work turned in. Thank you for putting in that effort!

I am impressed at kq's compliment, because it shows her respect for the teaching profession. KQ, this really shows your depth of caring for your fellow posters. I applaud you.

Belle, I love that you used the word "applaud" instead of the asterick-framed *claps*. It portrays a sense of refinement.

CRash, I love your use of the word "portrays", a lesser poster would have said shows you obviously have a firm grip on the English language.

Stone_Wolf_, I much enjoy your innovative sentence structure. It clearly demonstrates that you not only have a firm grip on the English language but that you hold it in a death clutch.

Tristan, I think it's awesome that you included not only one but both of the underscores in Stone_Wolf_'s screenname. You obviously pay attention to the little details.

I appreciate the way you used one of your very few posts to compliment a fellow Hatracker, and I love the way your screen name evokes both the challenge of mountain-climbing and other symbolic interpretations.
