hmmm would didymium lenses work for  (Dante Gabriel) Rossetti coloured glasses?

In response to JHCC's request or challenge...

 

Hol' (on) man (I'll) Hunt some up for you. Or go back and dig some up as DG Rossetti did afterwards.

Alan

Or we can borrow these from Frosty:

Looking back, I think that was lost in translation...or were you stoned at the time? Or suffering from some other Millais?

That's a bit near the knucklehead...luckily his bark is worse than his bite.

This may be too odd for some of our more shalott members even if it's beguiling for us.

Yes I agree, maybe we should show Morris-pect, and begin the beguine-agin...or would that be a Cole starter?

Alan

ps actually I take that back...it would be a crime not to have the opportunity to point out that Fools Ruskin where Engles fear to tread in this thread. Or would I get black Marx for that?

Now you're just Stalin for time.

The masterfully played loose track pun actually had me wishing I'd actually read or even listened to lectures in those classes but shortly after I realized how lucky I was I didn't. I only recognize a few of the names and almost none of the references.

I'm just going to sit in my corner and watch you kids play now.

Frosty the semi-literate.

Naw he's just hot to Trotsky 

Frosty you are well read in JB Hunt, Old Dominion, England, ...????

He'll have no truck with those.

At least I road my own boat.

Same part of the world as my Rosetta, but I am not harbouring any grudge. As Pharos I can see, all's fair in love and fora.

It won't let me comment on the quotes.gggrrrrr. What I wished to say was what a wonderful thing is google I managed to get back to the gist if you had said artic-literate it would not have gone right over my head! We don't refer to them as a Semi.

What did Michael Corleone say when his brother was nearly run over by an ice cream truck?

"Look out for the semi, Fredo!"

Ah I see...I always thought it was a garbage truck, and he made him an offer he could not Refuse.

But maybe I am con-fusing it with James Wood's end in Once Upon a Time in America...but that was Sergio Leone not Cor Leone.

Sorry getting a bit si-silly and corny now,

Alan
