A scotto-canado-yorkie hybrid, eh? No wonder you're so confused!
Fox paws are 'mistakes of a social gaffe sort of nature' from the french 'faux
pas, which translates as 'false step'. (As opposed to No Step which is
what they print on the wings of aeroplanes for some unfathomable reason. I
mean, anyone dumb enough to walk off the wing of an aeroplane is hardly likely
to be intelligent enough to read!).
PS. Acshually, seagulls are quite popular ornamental items down here. I think
the visitors buy them because they don't realise what the seagulls do to the
emmets and the locals buy them because they do realise what the
seagulls do to the emmets.
PPS. Saw a classic seagull strike yesterday. Female emmet sitting on the Wharf
with big tray of chips in open view. The decoy seagull distracted her while
its wingman nailed the tray sending chips flying. Woman promptly engulfed in a
mini-tornado of seagulls. Poor dear seemed quite perturbed by the experience
although given the number of 'Beware of the Seagulls' messages plastered all
over the place she could hardly claim she wasn't warned. Her
boyfriend/husband/escort just laughed evilly. I fear for their relationship!
Maeve Russet Hawthorne 07 May 2003 19:30 buggerfatty off... sounds like bug spray for some reason a bunch of kittiwakes and a few black backs or herrings (don't know witch) show up here in Whitehorse about now... for the MacDonalds and THE COLONEL... dumpsters I guess..... anyhoo.. I had a lot of bbq chicken stuff to get rid of and tossed it up on my roof...and the next thing was a load of fab white birds came and flew around singing their songs... and keeping the ravens away too...well the next day and yesterday ... they sent a caller to sit on a nearby lightpost and scream for more so I naturally obeyed and threw up a couple of yogurt containers of dogs fud and they really like that... so now I have had to tell them to buggerfatty off and get back to the river and see if they can find some fishes or... maybe the dump and they call them birdbrains!! yes, enjoyed your picture of the gal with the fries...do they sell those T shirts with fake eagle crap on the shoulder in St. Ives.....? Pauls, bye for noo thats scottish for bye for now ... M Vile Jelly 08 May 2003 08:07
No, I don't think you can get the t-shirts (mind you, I am not in the habit of
frequenting the sort of tourist tat shops that sell things of that ilk). I
have seen the odd person wearing a baseball cap covered in fake seagull poo,
though.
Mind you, what's the point when you can have the real stuff. There is a reason
why the locals mostly go round in scruffy stuff. The seagull poo round here
will dissolve cars given time so you can imagine what it does to posh clothes.
That's why we always snigger when some emmet poseur/poseuse rolls into the
Sloop in their designer gear. For what they are about to receive we are truly
grateful!
