You guys really need to work on your cat-related poetry.

The cat sat on the mat ... oh wait, that's been done. How about:

Felines ...
Nothing more than felines ...

And apropos of nothing, another idea. Suppose you're working on a story set down on the farm(TM), and something spooks the cows, and they stampede. So two panicking cowhands go off to find the boss.

Cowhand #1: Boss! Ya gotta come quick! *gasp* It's Phil -- he's been hit by --
Cowhand #2: (horrified) -- he's been struck by --
Cowhand #1 & 2: (chorusing in an awed whisper) A moo criminal.
Boss: (tough, no-nonsense type) Prairie patties!* Will you two jokers stop goofin' off and get back to work?! 'Cos lemme tell ya, (yelling) I am not amoosed!

___________________________
* Feel free to replace "Prairie patties!" with "Prairie pancakes!" or "Thundering gherkins!" Think of Col. Potter from M*A*S*H.

;-P

'Cos lemme tell ya, (yelling) I am not amoosed!

"Amoosed" in this area would mean "set upon by an angry individual of the Alces alces persuasion."

We got a big dumping of snow today, and there's more to come. By the time all's said and done, looking like we will end up with more than a foot

What the hell is Rose sauce? Is that the Canadian equivalent of pink vodka or tomato cream?

 

[Heartlet Happer]

Rose sauce. If it is made of rose flowers, then it is edible.

At 4:00 this afternoon, the temperature was a record breaking high of 56 degrees. Six hours later, it is 20 degrees and there are two inches of snow on the ground. If we don't get today's Whiplash Weather Award, I'm going to be disappointed.

56 degrees Fahrenheit? Because I use Celsius for the temperature measurement where I'm from.

Rose sauce?

I guess it is tomato sauce (marinara) with cream in it. I think there should be an accent on the e - so it is pronounced rosay

Madone a mio...

Madone a mio...

I've never ordered it. I like my sauce tomato-ey, not creamy

They almost certainly mean pink vodka sauce.

 

[Louanne Learning]

pink vodka sauce.

I like my vodka with Bubly

Michael Bublé?

Yep. Where on the big blue marble are you located?

Tomato sauce with cream... madone a mia. The color alone would put a person right off their appetite.

 

[Naomasa298]

I hate it when people are pretentious and say "dextrosé" instead of "dextrose".
