[lace-chat] blonde on a plane
i can't remember whether i read it on chat or not so here goes dominique from paris, France cold and windy today The plane is on its way to Houston when a blonde in Economy Class gets up and moves to the First Class section and sits down. The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for Economy and that she will have to sit in the back. The blonde replies: I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston, and I'm staying right here! The flight attendant goes to the cockpit and tells the Captain and Copilot that there is a blonde bimbo sitting in First Class that belongs in Economy and that she will not move back to her seat. The Copilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for Economy she will have to leave First Class and return to her seat. The blonde replies, I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston, and I am going to sit right here. The Copilot returns to the cockpit and tells the Captain that he should have the police waiting when they land to arrest the blonde woman as she won't listen to reason.The Captain says, You say she's blonde? I will handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde. He goes back to the blonde, whispers in her ear, and she says, Oh, I'm sorry, and she gets up and moves back to her seat in the Economy section. The flight attendant and copilot are amazed and ask him what he said to make her move without any fuss. I told her, First Class isn't going to Houston Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. hemingway To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] :-) New wine

Le Puy is a rural area in the center of France . * un tabouret pour reposer ses pieds : petit banc en bois rustique remplacé lÕhiver par une chaufferette garnie de cendres chaudes. a stool to put one's feet on : little rustic wooden bench replaced in the winter by a foot-warmer * un guéridon à 3 pieds sur lequel était posé la boule de verre remplie dÕeau qui diffusait et amplifiait la lumière de la lampe à huile sur le carreau. a three legged table on which stood a glass bowl filled with water which diffused and amplified the light from an oil lamp onto the pillow * une boîte à fuseaux : en bois souvent sculptée au couteau a bobbin box often sculpted with a knife . * une petite corbeille ronde pour contenir fils et ciseaux a little round basket to put threads and scissors. * une demi-aune : règle pour mesurer le travail en dentelle a ruler to measure the length of the lace . the measure was not a meter but an aune or a demi aune (half aune). some of the old ones as beautifully sculpted ... and horribly expensive ... * un plioir à dentelle en bois autour duquel on met la dentelle pour quÕelle ne se froisse pas. a lace folder : piece of wood , often beautifully sculpted, around which you wound the finished lace to prevent it from getting soiled ... http://www.ladentelledupuy.com/i_accueil.html and click on la dentelle du Puy at the top right hand corner . dominique from Paris where it's getting really cold . i had to take some of my plants indoors and my back is still resenting it but as i love low temps now (where is the time i could spend hours on a beach in the summer without flinching?! ) i am absolutely delighted .

Tamara P. Duvall a décidé d' écrire à Ò[lace] Bailleul photos/patron saints of lacemakersÓ. [2004/07/31 02:47] I was amused by the display of the lacy undies, mostly thong-type (page 3 of the first website). Remember the flap when the crocheters from Koniakow first started making them a couple of years back? well, we had to match the the thongs (called strings in french ... VBG) with their names and it wasn't that easy but it was great fun !! you can be sure some of them were uncomfortable : the one called black magic had a wire surround! ! .. the one called the kiss of the spider woman would have been superb for arachne ... it was a marvel of craftsmanship .. It was also interesting to observe the cultural difference between the English and the French; in England, it's St Catherine who's the patron saint of lacemakers, in France, it seems to be St Anne (mother of Mary?) Who are patron saints of lacemakers in other countries? there are differences in France even: St Anne is the patron saint of Bailleul lace makers . St Regis is the patron saint of Le Puy Lacemakers . St Catherine is the patron saint of seamstresses .. and unmarried girls who reach 25 wear a huge yellow and green hat made by their work pals ... and some time ago , the phrase to don St Catherine meant you were officially a spinster ... nice dominique from paris , cool for the time being (9am-) but it should be around 30C (and around 45C in the sun by midday .. argh! .. much too hot for me .. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The stewardess looks at them and says, I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger. 2. Did you hear that NASA recently put a bunch of Holsteins into low earth orbit? They called it the herd shot 'round the world. 3. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils. 4. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too. 5. A three legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: I'm looking for the man who shot my paw. 6. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication. 7. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. But why? they asked, as they moved off. Because, he said, I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer. 8. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named Amal. The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal. 9. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to persuade them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars. 10. And finally, There was a man who sent ten different puns to friends, in the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Ou bien 9 vies car au moyen age on prétendait que les sorcières pouvaient se transformer 9 fois en chat noir.

The nursery rhyme Ring Around the Rosey is a rhyme about the plague.

Further- more, people who died from the plague would be burned so as to reduce the possible spread of the disease (ashes, ashes, we all fall down). got this from Trivia Today . dominique from paris ..

[lace-chat] funny
enjoy ! dominique from paris ... Patrick O'Reilly was lucky. Since the day he had found that four leaf clover, everything good seemed to come his way. He had met the wonderful Rosie, and after a whirlwind romance, they were married. And now, a year later, he was the proud father of beautiful twins, a boy and a girl. At work, the story was the same. He had been promoted and had received a substantial raise, and now the firm had come up with a profit sharing plan. Patty was certain his good fortune was due to his 4-leaf clover. Everywhere he went, he was certain to be carrying the talisman in his suit pocket. One morning, Patty could not find the clover. He searched the house, but it was not there. In panic, he tried to recall when he had last seen it. He finally recalled it was in his gray suit that he had dropped off at the dry cleaners. He rushed to the cleaners only to find that the work had been completed and his suit was ready to be picked up. He searched the suit and found the 4-leaf clover, still in one piece but now flattened from the dry cleaning. From that day on, Patty's fortunes changed. Life was good but was no longer perfect. The little inconveniences were always there. He had a flat tire as he was driving to an important meeting. The twins developed measles when his boss and his wife were over for dinner. No, Patty's life had changed. He still carried the amulet, but he was certainly not living under the silver lining he was used to and had come to expect. Finally, he had had enough. He visited the parish priest to see if he could help him understand what had happened. This certainly was to be expected, he was told. You should have known ... One should never press one's luck.

Re: [lace] A T-shirt for the in crowd?
Weeell it all depends on the thread you've been using for the samples and the size of the pattern .. lol .. three huge tallies with a bad one in the middle should do the trick nicely . dominique from Paris Clay Blackwell a fait jouer ses doigts de fée pour écrire à ÒRe: [lace] A T-shirt for the in crowd?Ó. [2003/12/13 13:17] I think it's a clever idea - but wonder if the medium is going to do it justice? If you look at your other lacey t-shirts, you'll see that there isn't much detail to be seen... the individual threads just aren't there. So the oops samples may not look much different from the correct version... Hate to be a wet blanket, but I'm a skeptic... (in regards to this idea...) Clay - Original Message - From: Tamara P. Duvall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace Arachne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 11:45 PM Subject: [lace] A T-shirt for the in crowd? Gentle Spiders, The last week or so, I've been corresponding with several BL novices on the finer points of Torchon bookmarks (I have the book in which the bookmarks were published, so could check what they were talking about). Three of them (the novices) mentioned -- as if it were a dirty secret -- a *general* problem or two they were having (not the same ones). I couldn't begin to understand why they thought those problems were something to be ashamed of; when I was starting, the overload of info was overwhelming -- *everything* was new, and everything had to be memorised before the fingers (skills) took over... Up a creek without a paddle is where I felt I was (of course, that was '89, I had only one book, with outdated info re: suppliers, and no Arachne in sight g). So, as I was writing back, I kept thinking: been there, done that... And then realised that, no, I did *not* have a T-shirt to prove it; I have several lacemaking T-shirts, but not *that* one. I'd love to have a T-shirt (either short or long-sleeved) which said been there, done that... Ooops and then showed some lace (Torchon?) with common oopsies... My personal favourite would be the messed-up footside -- pin under 2 instead of under 4 for just one pin -- that's one that still happens to me sometimes (in Milanese). But I'm sure there are other lovely ones worth commemorating... :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the bottom optional... Non-BL-ers wouldn't understand it, but then they don't understand the straight ones, either. For *us*, however... On the one hand, it's a statement of improvement (been there, done that, but am not doing it anymore). On the other hand, it'd be reassuring (I should think) to novices to know that *everyone* had, at some point, worn the lace diapers but did manage to get toilet trained in the end... If y'all think the idea is worth pursuing, and if there's someone among us who'd be willing to get such a T-shirt organised, I'd volunteer to make the oops-y lace for it *After* New Year's g) Provided, of course, other people on the list were willing to share their particular bugaboos (a pine-cone tally among a cluster of perfect ones?) overcome or not... - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
