I am now torn as to what to do with the Trail as it may just be so bad it's good. While it's giving pleasure in some form, is it right to take a flamethrower to it?Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073772085574986623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36034944.post-3959310207990008912007-06-28T15:35:00.000+01:002007-06-28T15:35:00.000+01:00I was reading the comments at the end, still gobsm...I was reading the comments at the end, still gobsmacked, when the observation about the goat and the cow finished me off.

I'd hoped he'd met with some terrible accident, though it transpired he had gone away for a fresh coat of paint. Damn it. Little Miss Muffet is actually a new "design". In the original she had her mouth open in an "O" of surprise and her hands up each side of her face. No fingers though, they were like pink mittens. As she weathered she looked like nothing so much as an inflatable sex doll. After several comments this new, seated, on the lav style pose appeared. As for your final question, I try not to get involved in nob talk with the youngsters.<BR/><BR/>Stitchwort - that's the best idea, ever. I can see it now. We'd probably do quite well until they discovered we didn't have special needs after all.<BR/><BR/>Boz - I know, but even *I* have trouble appreciating it, so what chance the rest of the art world?Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073772085574986623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36034944.post-8379357569815199502007-06-01T11:52:00.000+01:002007-06-01T11:52:00.000+01:00AMAZING.

Quite the funniest thing I have read in a while.<BR/> Might I just add one or two other observations, from the non-parent end of the ground?<BR/> Firstly, there only appear to be six giant dwarfs (or is it a midget Snow White?). I don't recall Agorophobic being one of the girl's seven pals.<BR/> Secondly, Little Miss Muffet appears to have been disturbed while having a shit!<BR/> Thirdly, I think it should be pointed out to the children that Moley, as well as being a loyal pal to Ratty, does an excellent impression of Max Wall.<BR/> Finally, what, exactly, do you say to your little visitors when they say "Ooh, look mummy! Tigger's got his knob out"?Barry Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000494244277958295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36034944.post-58692454116963153922007-05-31T20:29:00.000+01:002007-05-31T20:29:00.000+01:00Cogidubnus - yes, I concur.
