Oh the Places You'll Go

[ColinEssex]

Thanks!
I could recite "The Cat in the Hat" blindfolded.

I'm unclear what effect the blindfold has on reciting a rhyme Could you not do it any other way?

I think the point was that her daughter could recite the book from memory whereas most people would have to read it.

Yes, I thought of that, but surely just closing the book would have the same effect and be a whole lot easier.

"I could do something blindfolded" is an American hyperbole.

Meaning I’m so good at something I don’t need to look.

Oh right it seems that I was confused.

Had it been an everyday US task using ones hands (like stripping a Colt 45) then I could understand the blindfold reference, it just seemed strange to mention it with a recital test thats all.

You can be quite naughty, Col.

And I just can't hold my tongue....
Tell us..... what can YOU do blindfolded?



(Okay, Selena... you can take over from here.....)

I dreamt last night that Rich moved to Chicago and we hung out. *shudder*

You could get Leroy Brown to follow you around.

Oh, please... after a couple of drinks you'd be like old friends.
Well, okay... maybe that's just what happens to ME when I drink.

 

[Kraj]

Gosh, I dunno. I can't imagine leaving the house without my AK-47, grenade launcher, and NaPalm squirt gun.

Nice!

Oh, please... after a couple of drinks you'd be like old friends.

Nah, I never get along very well with my ex's.

 

[jsanders]

Nice!

Kraj, are you old enough to remember Leroy Brown?

He was meaner than a junk yard dog.

You ain't from Chicago if you ain't heard of the baddest man in the whole damn town. Jim Croce's music is incredible.

I heard he drove a lincoln.

 

[TessB]

AND an El-dorado too!

 

[jsanders]

AND an El-dorado too!

Yeah but the Lincoln was custom.

No pump action 12 bore?

Nah, I never get along very well with my ex's
