Well?

The answer to that is so obvious it hardly deserves consideration.

Podicipediae are above vulgar discussion.

Let ye among you... without lobed, fleshy membranes along each toe and a pointed bill... cast the first stone.

it all depends on how you prepare them, same as pocket lint, nephews, or snippy salesclerks. yes, peppered and panseared they are classic. but whip them into a merengue or a la tartare, they are decidedly dud. smoked splits the difference, assuming that is even possible. the most embarrassing thing of course is how salty their eyes get. yum, nasty, yum!!

He's not wrong you know.

I have a grebe perched upon my bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door. I THINK it's Pallas. It's so covered with grebe shit, it could be Plato.

I confess I misread this as classic or dude- thought you were talking about the esteemed Rex

Too kind, my dear Weeble.

And here are just some of the people who esteem me…

I feel it's time for other fish to inspire hairstyles, the mullet has had it it's own way for far too long now. Anyone for the hake? I myself sport a luxuriant Tench whilst Lynskey has recently unwound the bandages to reveal a startling Halibut in electric blue.

It can see through walls.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Monday, 17 March 2003 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

But sadly not into mirrors.

― Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

...never trusted mirrors. I know, they APPEAR to be a true reflection but I wonder...

― Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I AM EXTREMELY DISTURBED BY THE CURRENT TV ADVERTS FOR THE MOVIE "THE CORE".

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Solution, go outside.

Says the man who didn't even leave his house after being offered the sharings of a when offered a whole roast chicken nice bread and salad.

― celeste (Celeste), Saturday, 22 March 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I was busy watching adverts for "The Core."

"I have a grebe perched upon my bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door. I THINK it's Pallas. It's so covered with grebe shit, it could be Plato."

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

But, Zen, as a colonial, don't you think that the LOON, the LOON, yes, the LOON, should be the star of the show here, not its hairdo'd cousin the grebe???!!! The Loon is the pinnacle of Nature ... for its call, its beauty ... and the fact that it is so heavy-boned and so badly put together that it takes half an hour to get airborne... makes it just so ... magical. It's nature's version of the Sinclair ZX81.

Mmmm ... loon

― Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 23 March 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Loons scare me.

They ain't fit ta eat, neither.
They taste like bald eagles.

― Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Monday, 24 March 2003 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

And they taste like Quorn.

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 27 March 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

And Quorn tastes like egg

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 27 March 2003 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

No wonder they taste funny ... the SOUND funny! That's part of their charm! I have always loved them ... ever since that once-cool track by 808 State.

― Pooster (pooster), Friday, 28 March 2003 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Pacific State?

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 28 March 2003 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

There are no Pacific States. The most pacific state is perhaps Minnesota, and that has an ex-WWF wrestler for a governor. Sorry!

― Pooster (pooster), Saturday, 29 March 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

But they do a damn fine LOON.

― Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm more of a Widgeon kinda guy.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 30 March 2003 22:13 (twenty-two years ago)

GREBES RULE !!!!!

― Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Monday, 31 March 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Steamed Surf Scoter for me. Mmm beaky.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Monday, 31 March 2003 07:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Wasn't that a single by Hanson?

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Monday, 31 March 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

"Single" being the operative word. I used to fancy them rotten ... specially the 9-yr-old. But where the hell did they go to? I suppose it might be more than tricky to find out ... because if you went: "Are you Hanson?", they'd probably say: "Are you askin'?"

AR(dry retching)GGGH! Can't get it out of my head now! Doo-wap, doobedee-do-wap (doo-eey-oo-wap), doo-wap, doobedee-do-wap (doo-eey-oo-wap). You are all sods. Why can't the whole world just go back to the Bonzos and have done with it?

ten years pass...

These pertinacious folk knew what's what

i'm not sure if the homophony with "greeb" as short-form for "grebo" is a positive or not tbh

"greeb" mutated into "greb" eventually tho
