@Torunn saidI have a satellite dish mounted to the shed roof, linked to an orbital deep-space telescope--I can see fly-specks on the second planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. On a clear night.
We start with hippos and end with fleas, how small can we get?
@moonbus saidA friend of mine, when he was much younger, used to fantasize about us and our universe(s) being a tiny part in the finger nail of something totally unimaginably big. Everything is relative.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidDon't get you snickers in a twix !
For years I refused to call a Marathon bar a Snickers.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYou Smartie you.
But I needed a Boost.
Changing the Topic, mind you don't Twirl your Curly-Wurlies too much - it's no Picnic. Caused a bit of a Ripple when I Wispa'd about my Turkish Delight.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidSir, may I ask if a river runs through it?
How would you get him out?
Asking for a friend.
That might be the source of the problem right there.
@orangutan saidSir, you are a Flake.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidWhether intended or not, the rhythm of the OP eventually reminded me of this song from a while ago (took a while to retrieve):
I tried to think of other sweets but I fudged it.
If that was "intentional" I hope you don't think of me as one of your mirrors, because I really did turn out to be a scrub (unsuccessful in so many conventional areas), and I'd wager that you keep up with grooming much better and more often than I do.
P.S. -- I also have the album on vinyl from back in the day.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
Also, in case it has been a concern, even though I do have some Irish ancestry and have see the recent "Brideshead/Ripley" mashup, I have never fantasized about dancing naked in your townhouse or boat house or festival caravan -- nor do I know specifically where you live or the names of your proximal neighbors (do you?) nor would I go so far as to share such details.
That you did not seem to understand my concern did not mean my concern was not real, or let's say "valid" or "understandable" given the circumstances.
I do appreciate that on many occasions back in the "Ghost Chamber" days you kept letting me back in despite my probably incomprehensible exits. Thank you for that. I won't bother you with a request to join your rebooted club. (One does try to be considerate.)

Fancy a game of Black Jack instead?
