Okay, now I 'm going to share a few words with the
Old Rooster. I probably should PM him, but I'm too
lazy. This is men-talk, so all you biddies just go on
by.

The Rooster needs some man to man advice. Even
the young sparklyes that drop by...they aren't ready
for this sort of knowledge.

An ostrich can fly.

But not every ostrich. For if every ostrich could fly,
what then would be special about your ostrich?

To make your ostrich soar like an eagle...all you have
to do is to convince your ostrich that she CAN fly. For
she is an ostrich so special, so beautiful, that to spread
her wings she will sweep through the heavens.

That that little secret is how you make the ostrich fly.
Just convince her that she can fly and at the same time
you have to believe she can fly.

You may never even see her fly. And you will realize that
seeing her fly doesn't matter. Because you KNOW she
can fly.

And more importantly, your ostrich knows she can fly.



Spook....and the all secrets know to man.

(and if that doesn't work, you may have to buy
her bigger wings.)

Let me take a minute to do a big Welcome
to the Alaskan I've seen posting about on the
thread. Everyone's welcome here.

But really, ...I just gotta ask...

Can you see Russia from your house?

Living in a town named "Homer"...bet you know a
lot of Simpson jokes. Your real name wouldn't be
Bart would it?

And they have chickens in Alaska? I guess I never
thought about it.

Do the hens lay frozen eggs?

Do you have to thaw the eggs out?

Do chickens live in an igloo? (Do you live in an igloo?)

Alaska...sounds like a cold place to me. Spooks don't
like cold.

Come back, and tell us about Alaska.

Spook...welcoming the new guy.

 

[Spookwriter]

By the way, I'm back from town. (I'm a very fast
Spook, Bunny)

Tomato plants were 25 cents apiece. And would
you believe they were on sale today?

Bought 16 tomato plants for $3.00
10 cucumber plants for another $2.00

I'm not sure that guy is making a profit on raising
is plants.


Spook....now to get my wife to plow the garden so
she can plant.

This is why there is a law in Alaska that says you may not ever ever push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

There were way to many special people, like spook, who thought that if they just really believed that moose could fly, then moose would be able to fly.

Poor moose, poor special people.

Gee, Alaskan, you're talking to THE Spook! Lots of people don't believe in ghosts, but they (at least one) are real here. It's all a matter of having enough faith!
And maybe pigs CAN really fly! They just do so when nobody is watching!

First, Alaskan loves feeling special. Special like Spook.

Asking me questions makes me feel special.

Let me take a minute to do a big  Welcome
to the Alaskan I've seen posting about on the
thread. Everyone's welcome here.

But really, ...I just gotta ask...

Can you see Russia from your house?

First, I can NOT see Russian from my house, but I can see a volcano, several glaciers, a bay, and lots of snow. Alaskan is very tired of snow, Snow is bad. Snow is white and cold and causes nasty breakup. Breakup is muddy and super messy and costs lots of dollars.

Living in a town named "Homer"...bet you know a
lot of Simpson jokes. Your real name wouldn't be
Bart would it?

Actually, no one ever tells Homer jokes here. But we are pretty remote, and there are many guns. Maybe Homer jokes are only told once.

And they have chickens in Alaska? I guess I never
thought about it.

Yes, there are chickens and turkey, and geese and other fowl. Silly Spook.

Do the hens lay frozen eggs?

I have never had a frozen egg during one of our six or so days of summer (when the temps hit 60).
We do get frozen eggs during the nine months of winter, if we do not gather them a few hours after they are laid.

Do you have to thaw the eggs out?

Thawing them out is bad, because then they leak. No, you wash them off, and then use them right away, or freeze them until you decided to use them. A few hours in the fridge is OK as long as the egg is sitting in a cup that will catch the ooze. If you want it to thaw more slowly than the fridge, but not keep it completely frozen, you can store it on the kitchen counter.

It is great fun to fry a frozen egg. Put ice cube egg in pan, it slowly melts from its egg shape to a proper fried egg shape, great entertainment.

Do chickens live in an igloo? (Do you live in an igloo?)

My chickens would probably prefer an igloo, since then they would have less problems with the wind.

I do not live in an igloo, but in deep winter (like March) I often live in an icy hobbit hole equivalent. You can park your car, then you slide down a snowy icy ramp, and stop sliding when you crash into my door. And yes, my door jamb is cracked, but the door has held up, though I am currently on my third door knob.

Alaska...sounds like a cold place to me. Spooks don't
like cold.

Come back, and tell us about Alaska.

Spook...welcoming the new guy.

 

[Spookwriter]

Everybody knows a moose can't fly...
They don't even have wings.

Now buffalos...they have wings. Apparently little
wings from what I see in the restaurants. But at least
they HAVE wings.

Are there many people in Alaska who take a moose
flying? Seems sort of pointless. Unless it's the moose's
airplane.

And certainly you aren't referring to the Spook as a
"special people"?

So you think if we push them out of an airplane, then close our eyes, they will be able to fly safely to the ground?

Interesting.

I have spent years believing in cleaning elves, but my house is still a pig sty. Maybe if I pushed my house out of a plane.......

 

[Spookwriter]

"pig sty" ... "lipstick on a pig"

What is it with Alaskans and their pigs?....
