It’s Palm Sunday later this week, so we talk about that until it stops being interesting (90 seconds or so.) James then segues into talking about palm trees, despite Paul thinking that this is also too dull a subject to merit attention. So we talk instead about the various poisonous creatures inhabiting these United States, and whether Wikipedia or the Brady Bunch is the more reliable source of information. Later, Rhiannon calls in to take the quiz and tries to figure out what a “Hoosier” is, while Paul contemplates “fly-tipping.”
Ref “to shuck” – I can remember my grandmother (Grace Jones – yes, both she AND my mother were named Grace Jones….) getting me to shuck peas… I.e. split the pods and slide the peas out. She came from Irish stock, so maybe that is where it originated. The Irish, of course, would then have made peapod wine from those shucks…..when not making poteen from potatoes! X
I did SO want a “Hoosier” to be a question, as in “Who’s yer friend?”.
if you think my stab at “Hoosiers” is bizarre, go to The Quiz in “The Marmite Virgin”, where I was thrown “druthers”…. turned out to be “if I had my druthers” … still not got it? …. Neither did I …. So go listen for enlightenment! Great show…. Looking forward to No 18! Xx
I have NEVER ‘come on’ to another man. But, he is gorgeous and, as Rhiannon said, I was drunk on pie.
She’s not bad either.
Which one didn’t you come on to, Cocker? They are BOTH gorgeous, as are you of course! Damn it – I’m just going to have to listen to the last two blogs again. Xx
OK – got it now……. Cocker came on to [sorry, didn’t come on to] Rhiannon’s boyfriend! I thought you were talking about either James or Johnson, both gorgeous, of course…. but, whoever it wasn’t, blame the pie!! xx
