  • bilby I oops we are all in favours. Apr 1, 2008

  • reesetee Thats sounds likes a greats ideas! Mar 31, 2008

  • chained_bear We should have Plural Day. (Like Ernie on Sesame Street once declared it to be Opposite Day.) Just make everything plural. Sorry, everythings. Mar 31, 2008

  • bilby I think I saw a circus act once with someone riding a pair of horses, ie. standing up and with one foot on each horse. I suppose it might be possible to do it with bicycles. Which still leaves hands free for holding the binoculars :-) Mar 31, 2008

  • chained_bear Bilby: I hope you didn't ride your bicycles before putting on your pants. If they're too long you'll need scissors to fix them so they don't get caught in the brakes. (OK, that last one was weak.) Mar 31, 2008

  • Prolagus reesetee,
    It was the nightingale, and not the lark. Mar 31, 2008

  • reesetee You mean my mania, of course. ;-) Mar 31, 2008

  • chained_bear It's OK, reesetee. I think your record of bird-love is well proven and has stood the test of time. :) Mar 31, 2008

  • reesetee I always thought that too, bilby. I imagine it just morphed into plural form with long usage. Mar 31, 2008

  • bilby Isn't the plural superfluous, given that the bi- already indicates that?
    eg.I packed by my binoculars in my bag and went for a ride on my bicycles.
    See what I mean? Usual the numerical prefixes don't demand a plural: tripod, quadrilateral, pentagon, etc. Mar 31, 2008

  • reesetee Saaay...I resent that! Why, I've had many an exciting night with my binoc--er...while keeping my binoculars at hand! Er, I mean....

    Oh hell, there's just no good way to save that remark. Mar 31, 2008

  • Prolagus But again, bilby,
    if you lend someone your binoculars don't expect to have an exciting night.
    Binoculars + oligosexuality = eternal not-tonight-sweetie headache. Mar 31, 2008

  • sonofgroucho My wife got me a pair of these recently: very handy! Mar 29, 2008

  • bilby Whenever I turn up anywhere with binoculars - football, theatre, nature walk, etc. - somebody wants to borrow them. Wanna meet people? Stuff MySpace, try binoculars. Mar 29, 2008

  • reesetee Wow. I don't think I can ever look at my binoculars the same way again. Mar 29, 2008

  • Prolagus I put them slightly before diarrhea in my pain-charts. They give me eternal not-tonight-sweetie headache. Mar 28, 2008

  • reesetee What? How can binoculars be pains in the butt, Prolagus? They're splendid! (Well, my pair is.) Mar 28, 2008
