apologies for absence - I've been shooting marlin in the English channel - there are too many this year apparently, and the council is paying quite good rates for able bodied layabouts like myself to go out in rubber dingies with an air rifle. I hit quite a few (never on porpoise! haha) before the current caught me and whisked me up to Oslo, where I had to chop up coleslaw in a cold salad sweat shop for a week until I'd earned enough for my passage back. what a nightmare! never again. anyway, I've asked around and nobodyknows the origins of ragtime - I've got an idea it might be something to do with wanking, because I quite like wanking to ragtime, and I use a rag after, but I'm not really sure. perhaps Jim is right.

I'll answer that A.S.A.P.

Excuse the rather curious start to this post but that's just what the answer is.

Yes, that's right, it's an acronym! As far as I can make out, in the early colonial days in Africa there was a custom when the master of the house (a honkey) was courting a suitable person with which to breed with, he would impress the said subject by showing off his wealth and social standing. Among some of the less bizarre parts of this was the habit of saddling up his manservant (a negro) and, straddling his shoulders on a makeshift saddle, would ride to the potential wife's house. Once there he would parade up and down to show how virile his servants were until the steed buckled or threw him off. The bizzarre stature of the servant with such a dress and weight on his back lead to a similar dance in the night halls where the coloured bretheren would meet up at night sipping moonshine and singing night songs and the name was derived from an abbreviation of what the children would sing "Ride A Golly Til' I' Makes 'Em Marry You'. The 'M' and the 'Y' I think got dropped sometime later. This is why the dance involves such a curious gate and on many special occassions a saddle upon ones back.

for your own pleasure

Finally! I have found entertainers for our wedding.

(and computer)

rather brilliant

power point presentation battle!

Apologies for my absence, I am back now and ready to give you fellows my body. I am quite fond of My Potatoes at the bottom left of this page. I was in a reception today and someone, without a hint of irony, was talking about searching the internet for pictures of beavers. I nearly choked on my champagne. I wasn't going to lower the tone and put a link in, but I clearly have. I dread what I may have started.

at last!

Here you may find the Mongolian Death Worm. Here you may find Alopex Stultus. Here you may find the Monkey of the Inkpot.
