Baldur

Baldur appreciated the trend that started a few years back of designing entertainment centers that appeared to be armoires. One can conceal the television behind doors. Sadly no one ever seems to close those doors.

When Robert went away to nudist camp last month Chez Baldur went for 5 whole days without the television ever being turned on, that was quite marvelous.
The only use I really have for the darn thing is to watch DVDs of old movies, and to watch football in season, Baldur truly misses Monday Night Football, it saddens me that network political games took it away.

The other night we watched 'High Society' starring Bing, Grace & Frank. It was rather enjoyable.

I love old movies...this morning I watched The Roaring Twenties with Cagney and Bogart...it was on TCM. I have a TV in the living room but it's never on
when we have guest. I always have music on though. Can't live without that!

indigo, I watched Yankee Doodle Dandy the other night, and to see Cagney so talented, with his singing and dancing, it's hard to believe he would do gangster parts!! Loved him in both styles.

Baldur

I think he's incredible too but Baldur was never able to take him seriously as a gangster

In response to your comment, on another post, about . . .

Baldur, you remind me of a kid I once knew. He was highly intelligent, keenly perceptive and charmingly manipulative. In short, he was a bad, wicked, little boy and EVERYONE loved him! Did I get it right? Were you the kid that when the teacher yelled at the class you said something so funny that even the teacher was rolling on the floor with tears of laughter? Yep, think that was you. Your real name isn't by any chance S. Vannoy??? (much laughter here in Missouri at 5:20 p.m.)

Baldur

What comment triggered this one?

Anyway, no I'm not S. Vannoy, I was born and raised in Rhode Island, never went to school out of state.

Baldur always thought himself rather clever, but frequently my jokes floated right over everyone else's heads.

Baldur likes to think that many years later when people ponder over their childhood they will remember my witticisms (+ at least 10 points) and suddenly understand them.

Baldur's musings are erudite (+ at least 5) and entertaining for so many of us. I, for one, am a devoted "listener." It certainly seems to me that Baldur finds joy in living each and every day--there's much to like about that.

Heavens, Baldur hopes he did that as precisely as he thinks he did.

Sheftali thinks Baldur must've imbibed a tad too much wine and is now speaking in tongues (which only matthew can decipher, I suppose).

Baldur

Baldur has not touched a drop of wine today.
Single malt Scotch yes, wine no.

I just hope that there are no transcription (+10 points) errors in my little cryptogram.

Well - you have me laughing out loud again - sheftali and Baldur. Thanks! And the comment Baldur left was on my post, which was *originally* about the size of the drawing box for TD. (+10 because why not)

Please now translate the speaking in tongues. Have always been interested in that.

Baldur

No no no, it's a game.
Each letter in the code stands for a different letter, it translates into a message in English.

Baldur

It must have been my 'size does matter' comment you refer to.
My drawing window is 3.75" high by approximately 3.25" wide making it rather endowed compared to what the others are saying.

But, I have dyslexia. Sometimes, when printing, I write letters backwards! This problem will not away go so impossible to decipher your code. (have problems getting my mixes worded up too.) PLEASE translate - otherwise I shall be deprived of latest witticism!

Baldur

If Baldur were attempting to crack the code he would copy and paste the puzzle onto a page and then add extra spacing between the words and lines.
He would them print it out and write on the printout as the actual letters resolved themselves in his mind.

Baldur

There will be no deprivation, if no one solves it in the next day or so Baldur will post the solution.
Or if you wish you can contact me through my MySpace account and I will tell you the solution.
On MySpace I am Baldurbear

Baldur really does this to amuse himself, if innocent bystanders get accidentally entertained I do not begrudge (+2 points) them their prize.

marius

Hmmm- have never been to myspace. Do I have to make my own page or can I simply visit yours and enjoy? May try to decipher cause it could be fun, but when stressed, more letters turn backwards.
