Well there I was...

Post by dubhlinn »

..going along on my bike and I saw this.

I was lucky not to fall off the thing and get mangled by the bus that was behind me.

Funny old world :-?

Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Well, it kind of reminds me of this little thing in which God molests David. At first I was horrified because God molesting David seems like a very upsetting thing, but as a friend pointed out to me, "If God made it, he can touch it." :o :lol:

I remember my first mannequin, her name was mistress green. I'll try to post a picture of her later.

Perhaps they represent some variant of the preying mantis, where the female, rather than the male, loses her head.
Or maybe they were reenacting the Black Knight scene from Monty Python.
Regardless, it undoubtedly adds a quaint artistic aura to the neighborhood.
I'm wondering what else they have in there. It looks a little cluttered behind the curtains in those upstairs window.
