LOL warrior rabbit. I was trying to think up a witty comment, but you beat me to it.

XD but you know that a “gooseberry” is really a genetic deficiency that kills off babies before they’re born, right? Not necessarily human babies. I’m thinking in terms of Drosophila flies.

But Terry Pratchett used the word in his book “Jingo” – for a deficient organiser – so it’s not just a geeky joke for genetic researchers.

Gooseberries are also just gooseberries, Varenoea. Like sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar..?

I think the berry gooseberry got their first, varenoea.

9 starling 07.04.08 at 10:54 am

THERE first!

AAAAARGH!

*goes to iron hands*

‘Gooseberry’ can also mean an unwelcome person, like a ‘third wheel.’
But that little goose would be welcome at MY place ANY time.

NTMTOM – do you have 2 greys to trade?

12 Theresa 07.04.08 at 11:30 am

I want to know where this all happens– sugar gliders and tiny puppehs with your manicure; fluffy gosleengs in your cereal box. Phoenix Arizona? Columbus Ohio? I clearly live in thr wrong market area.

PS “A free goose in every box” — is begging for a certain, erm, interpretation. And that’s the way I like it. :P

Theresa, i’m right there with you. I often wonder why those people who look after baby pandas have a job that was clearly meant to be mine!
I have nothing witty or clever to say.
Just, this is cute! I can almost feel how soft and fluffy that little creature is. What a way to start the day!

*opens lid and shoves entire arm into box, spilling cereal all over the kitchen while digging for free goose*

Theresa, once I was in Louisville, KY visiting my aunt. I was soaking in the bathtub one morning and my mom entered the bathroom with something bundled up in her apron. She leaned over the tub and let the bundle spill into the water. 6 baby ducklings! So, maybe Louisville?

Unfortunately, the water was a bit warmer than they were accustomed to, which had a bit of a laxative effect. So maybe not Louisville, but Indianapolis?

Oh Michelle!! The visual! The visual! OMG!

18 Wbirdie 07.04.08 at 3:07 pm

Everybody sing!

~Be kind to your web-footed friends,
For a duck may be somebody’s mother!
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where it’s very cold and very damp~

:D

Man, all I got with my Apple Jacks was a crappy Indiana Jones light up spoon.

20 Martha in Washington 07.04.08 at 3:53 pm

Michelle–I grew up in Louisville and I NEVER got a single duck with my bath. I musta lived on the wrong side of town :(

21 Subhangi 07.04.08 at 3:54 pm

22 metsakins 07.04.08 at 4:22 pm

I’m thinkin’ we need a category for all these deelichous meals we’ve seen in the past few weeks.

23 Birdcage 07.04.08 at 5:12 pm

24 berthaservant 07.04.08 at 5:17 pm

28 CathyDee 07.05.08 at 3:07 am
