I don’t think there was ever actually an Indigo in the colonies, although there were certainly Algonquian people who believed in that malevolent cannibalistic spirit.
Well, maybe not in the colonies - I think the Wendigo tribe lived in what is now Minnesota.
Ah yes, Lake Winnebago*, the fictional town where Garrison Keilor was said to have grown up.
*It is a real lake, in Wisconsin. The largest in the state and the source of the Fox river.
Minnie bagel? As long as there’s cream cheese, I don’t care what size it is.
I think you’ve missed a step somewhere, 6ImpossibleThingsB4Breakfast, but I’m willing to let wobegons be wobegons.
It’s nice that you’re able to let bygones alone, Gyrate - I almost ran over one of the blasted things driving to work yesterday. Damn DOT!
You almost ran over a pylon? that doesn’t sound like it would hurt your car but how did a pair of lady’s stockings get on the highway anyway?
Lady’s stockings on a highway? Sounds like something from Monty Nylon’s Flying Circus!
Granted, I’ve only ever seen a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica, but I’m sure I would have noticed John Cleese, Michael Palin et al., playing Pythons!
I’m not sure how you made the leap from science fiction to pro wrestling, but it was Ric Flair who was always saying that he was Cylon’ and profilin.’
Ric Flair was a Sumerian scribe? Somehow I can’t see him hunched over a clay tablet with a stylin’ in his hand…
Actually, George Eliot was the scribe responsible for Stylus Marner, that bane of high school literature students for over a century now.
Oh, God was that a boring book - I live in a city, not a farm; why would I want to read about Silas and hay? About as exciting as watching grass grow.
City, suburbs, farms, whatever. Anytime you get a bunch of middle-aged guys together they start talking about what kind of gas silage they get in their cars and trucks.
And guns! Always talking about how they need to form a citizen’s mileage to protect themselves from the evil gummint. (Or maybe that’s because I live in a flamingly red state…)
People like that are scary - like Militia Addams, who I guess was kinda lovable deep down but looked really creepy.
She may just have been foreign - I hear she was from the island of Morticia, off the coast of Madagascar.
Oh, yes - in the 17th century, that island was notorious for its roving bands of pirates and Mauritius.
In the novel David Copperfield, the Marauders weren’t exactly pirates. Mr. Wilkins Marauder was incarcerated in debtors’ prison, but he wasn’t truly dishonest, and he eventually exposed his boss, Uriah Heep, as a crook. Eventually, Wilkins and his family emigrate to Australia, and Mr. Marauder becomes a successful banker and government official.
Australia - isn’t that the home to the colorful and cheery Micawber? [Monty Python voice] Lovely bird - beautiful plumage… [/Monty Python voice]
