The bird sat on top of the lamp, I looked up at the bird and the bird looked down at me, I kept looking at the bird and he kept on looking at me, we both looked at each other, both unblinking in our stare, both daring the other to look away and be the first to break our eye contact. A bead of sweat ran down my forehead as I refused to blink in case the bird thought I was weak. An hour or maybe two went by, my neck was stiff and I could no longer feel my legs but I refused to look away from the bird. I looked up at the bird and the bird looked down at me. After a while I noticed the made in China label underneath the bird, the bird was a toy, stupid toy! I looked up at the toy and the toy looked down at me, well if you just read that crap sorry to waste a few minutes of you day, I am so so sorry.

You are a corker alright. By the way, you don't have to worry about Abe putting on any GI boots, and kicking anyone's butt, he doesn't have the energy, he would have to stop to breath. Hope you had a good Sunday with the family.
If you think that's funny, Martin, just wait until you buy your next cute car. Some of them have "Made in China" labels.
Just read this morning that those will be next to place their cars in showrooms across this country.
During the WWII, Japanese cars and anything else that was junk, were said to be, "No worth a tinker's damn!" And then things made in Japan got better and people took a chance and Toyota was a runaway best seller.
And the Mitsubishi company turned away from making Zero fighter plans to automobiles and while it is bigger than when first introduced it is still not as famous as their Zero.
I don't know much about Kia except it is owned by Huyandi.
Your made in China bird might be a sign of things to come. Pillows, mattresses and sexy lubricants all comes from there already. I just didn't know lamp posts already were here.
I knew it!! The attention span of a real bird is way too long for that! :)
Very moving account.
Thanks for the message Martin, her name is Phyllis Ackland, (she was the first Strawberry Queen in Combe Martin) I think you should know that, just in case somebody else asks you, and i know how you hate to look stupid when you don't know anything, but of course you can always make up one of your silly stories to hide the fact that you haven't got a clue.
I just love how the lamp's light, the glow on the horizon and Shammickite's hair all share a similar hue. It must be a sign that I should go out right now and purchase a six-pack of amber ale.
Hmmm... the word verification is "bless."
Martin, you are a nutter!
Hey Craver, I'm not sure if your comment is a compliment or not!!!!
It's definitely a compliment!! My first daughter has red hair, and it is positively mesmerizing, especially when caught in a certain light. I have never understood the foolishness of making fun of red hair. That's like making fun of a peacock for it's feathers, or a new car because it's too shiny.
The synchronicity of these hues flatters you. :-)
All I can say is.... thank you!!
You guys! I love each and every one of you! I hope you all have a great week!
