What Lovely Locks You Have

[rikibeth]

In the course of discussing our beloved navyboys, donnaimmaculata and I were deriving amusement from how... well-groomed the lads appeared, despite long months on a ship without apparent access to grooming products. Here's the relevant bit of the conversation:

rikibeth Horatio? Hair care? Horatio's hair gets all stiff with salt and Archie is the only one gentle enough

I shouldn't think buying bone marrow at a butcher's will be too difficult - depending where you live, of course. It's not terribly exotic, there are foods made from/with bone marrow, after all.

I think I'm going to ask the butcher at the specialty market to scoop it out FOR me, as the things at the regular grocery store were not cut in such a way as to be really useful. I've had roasted marrow bones as a delicacy (last year, anniversary dinner with boyfriend, oh my goodness they were amazing, an off-menu treat) but the grocery store was not offering nice split long bones.

And you cannot get the marrow out with a fpatula!

*giggles* I always want to read that family of typefaces in a Daffy Duck voice, don't you?

Are you a fan of Good Omens? Do you remember the Buggre All This Bible?

(Ezekiel 48:5)
Buggre Alle this for a Larke. I amme sick to mye Hart of typefettinge. Master Biltonn if no Gentlemann, and Master Scagges noe more than a tighte fisted Southwarke Knobbefticke. I telle you, onne a daye laike thif Ennyone with half an oz. of Sense shoulde bee oute in the Sunneshain, ane nott Stucke here alle the livelong daie inn thif mowldey olde By-Our-Lady Workefhoppe. @*Ǣ@;!*

Daffy Duck, I'm telling you.

Yes. I don't know why they wrote that way. Having a big S little s and an s that looks like f sometimes never made any sense to me. Also the random capitalizing of nouns... I never got it. But it does make me laugh.

[eglantine_br]

I tried it, you are right.
