That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. The chap at the bottom looks as if Lord Ickenham is going to knock his topper off with a catapult and a Brazil nut from the window of the smoking lounge at the Drones Club.
The first three pictures got me all into the Easter spirit, then the dude at the end jumped my mind to Saint Patrick’s day, and now I don’t know what month it is.
OMG there is NO creation of bodily waste mentioned in ANY work of Jane Austin Nor aucun des soeurs Bronte !!!!
Thus, one infers that there IS NO bodily waste, by humans NOR by bats.
EsPESH during the Victorian years. Harrumph!!!
Firdie, honey, not to be all pedantic, but there’s a common misconception about Ms. Austin. She’s NOT a Victorian author. Ms Austin died in 1817; Victoria didn’t ascend the thrown until 1837. Austin’s entire life was lived in the period of the reign of George III, and the Regency (during his periods of insanity), of his son (who became George IV). So historically, Austin is categorized as a Georgian or Regency writer.
And the Georgian and Regency periods were rather less prissy than the Victorian age.
@ skippymom: I burst out laughing, MOST
inappropriately, upon reading your item
@ Theresa: so noted, Ma’am.
As it WAS, I took the time to go to some reference source, and be certain of which
BOOK I had in mind. I shall take my correction standing in the corner.
I cannot in 200 % honesty, predict that I will manage to squelch all future faux pas de la litterature ….. however, I do promise to make at least a Noble College Effort at SEMI-accuracy.
Does that work for you???
and thanks for the elucidation.
Peace, fluffy (or alternatively, reptilian) animals, and really good books to all.
Wend, is there *ANY* chance that you MEANT to type “genTEEL” but your fingers or the keyboard of the Ebil Compooter sabotaged your intent and caused your fingers to hit the “ile” keys (“gentile”/ Jewish) instead of the “eel” keys (socially refined word) ??????
Signed,
It’s ALWAYS, the fault of the Ebil Compooter….
Awwww! I’m waiting for my first (squeeeee!) batch of chicks to hatch! I’m so excited, I can barely stand it!!!! I have a momma hen setting on them, and on around Valentine’s day they should be ariivving! “sing song voice”!
Now, since hats have been done, what should I do? Hmmm…gotta think.
old goatlady, do you have goats too??? Raising goats and chickens are def on my bucket list now.
(I think we need pictures of bebeh goats in hats since we’re on the subject.)
Why yes, in fact I DO have goats! Thanks for asking, since that now gives me permission to brag!!
I have Nigerian Dwarfs (sooooo cute!), four of them in fact, at least for now…. I have 2 mamas that are in the *family way*, Cinder who is due the 1st of May and Buttercup who is due the middle of May. The first time for them AND the first time for me. Again, I am SUPER excited, but trying to be patient, since May is still so FAR AWAY! The other 2 are Cookiedough who is the daddy and Dutch who is everyone’s favorite uncle.
Hey O.G.L.
Get those cute little bundles you’re waiting for a little piano , some drums maybe a xylophone & start a band ! One suggestion for a band name is “Chicken Little”
(snerk)
I have that little lace kerchief! It’s a sarong from a Barbie doll I used to play with in a swimsuit. I used to do the same thing, and make it a head wrap for my doll. This little chick is rockin’ the look.
As the owner and photographer of chicks in hats, I have to tell you that finding them here and reading your comments has made my DAY! You guys are a HOOT.
Lovin’ the lace kerchief!
Yes, more Grace Kelly than babushka.
Nope. I’m afraid my first thought – goodness knows why – was of Fiddler on the Roof.
“A blessing on your head, mazel tov, mazel tov….”
*snerk* You win the internets for today!
I was thinking more along the lines of “Get me to the church on time!” from My Fair Lady. A classic musical, one way or the other!
That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. The chap at the bottom looks as if Lord Ickenham is going to knock his topper off with a catapult and a Brazil nut from the window of the smoking lounge at the Drones Club.
The young jackanapes!
Lovely chicks with im-peckable taste in hats. Of course, all chickens are born with a feather in their caps.
I really thought these guys were little turkeys !!!
That last hat reminds me that St. patrick’s Day is not too far off .
CUSH-LA MOCKERY and Begorrah !!
The first three pictures got me all into the Easter spirit, then the dude at the end jumped my mind to Saint Patrick’s day, and now I don’t know what month it is.
It’s Monday.
Ah, everything is so much clearer now.]
What an absolute waste of time. We need more pic’s.
Madness! Madness! Love it!
Cute little cheeper deals !! The last one made me think of “Puttin’ On The Ritz.”
It’s a Chickago production of Fiddler on the Roof!

Meee too-who !!!
meee tooo!
I see them as Jane, Mrs. Bennet, Lizzie, and Mr. Darcy, but then again, I do love chick-lit
*gee, I wonder whether tracylee reads British women’s lit, much …….*
nah…
it’s not like my Kindle is named Jane or anything like that.
oh… um.. *ahem*
*snicker*
And they all live happily ever after at Henberley on his fortune of 10,000 pounds of guano.

Skippymom, that was when everything started to go to hell in a handbasket.

dang! I knew there was a Pemberly pun in there somewhere!
you’re too good, Oak. I guess all the Pun Gods allotted me today was just the one.
Oak is El Supremo. None of us is worthy.
Baron von Chickenpants is here for the rent.
Baron von Chickenpants… heehee… I called someone here at work Ms. Perkypants (not to their face, of course) and people just looked at me funny.
I call Francesco Frannypants, and I frequently ask him, “Are you wearing your Franny pants?”
IS HE???
Most of the time.
omg you guys are crackin me up today…
one of Miss Schnozz’s nommes de guerre is Senorita Fuzzybritches…
Sounds soooo much more gentile than “Fuzzbutt”, which is what my son calls our dog.
*whistles Innocence Tune*

OK now I gotta chicken bone to pick, here.
The title promised *CHICKS* “in hats”.
Baron von Chickenpants might be a chick, but is he a CHICK chick ?????
Hey, Firdie, he’s a chick! Who are you to judge whether he’s ENOUGH of a chick?
Maybe he’s a really butch chick…..
@ Theresa: yew ain’t nevvah met mah mudder.
Git me riled-up enough and Ah kin out-judge, Judge Judy !!!
(Although I might mind my wording/ language a bit more cautiously, than she does when laying/ lying (?) into the perpetrator(s) …)
@ v: now THAT’s kinda the Logique, for which I was GOING
*winks mischeviously in v’s direction*
I love the Margaret Thatcher/Queen Elizabeth II number in picture 2!
comme c’est juste, ca
I think she looks more like the late Queen Mother. More her colors.
*licks pencil tip to add to bucket list*….
Raise chickens so I can dress the bebehs in hats and take redonkulous peectures of them.
My bucket list has only three things on it, and having a few chickens some day is one of them. (but not so that I can dress them up)
Awwww! I’m waiting for my first (squeeeee!) batch of chicks to hatch! I’m so excited, I can barely stand it!!!! I have a momma hen setting on them, and on around Valentine’s day they should be ariivving! “sing song voice”!
Now, since hats have been done, what should I do? Hmmm…gotta think.
pictures! we want pictures!
Teach them a dance routine!!
I suppose that would have to be the “chicken dance” right?
old goatlady, do you have goats too??? Raising goats and chickens are def on my bucket list now.
(I think we need pictures of bebeh goats in hats since we’re on the subject.)
YAY bebbeh goats, under nearly ANY circumstances
Why yes, in fact I DO have goats! Thanks for asking, since that now gives me permission to brag!!
I have Nigerian Dwarfs (sooooo cute!), four of them in fact, at least for now….

(snerk)
Or the Dixie Chicks, if they decide to go country.

Or, another career choice could be a writer of contemporary women’s fiction, or in other words, *chick lit*
Cheep thrills?
naw.
Cheep “trills” !!!!
Baron von Chickenpants oh lord *tears of laughter* that’s beautiful!
