I give my thougts a free reign at this time, and I try not to waste my, uh..."energy" at this time of the day

That photo reminds me of the book The 1001 Arabian Nights...

I collect illustrated versions of 1001 Nights, LOL. (And the Rubaiyatt of Omar Khayyam )

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
TO-DAY of past Regrets and future Fears -
To-morrow ? - Why, To-morrow I may be
Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n Thousand Years.

Horny dude approaching her from her 6...

Oh, no. My mistake. It's a horny toad. (Which is actually a lizard.)

 

[Handley_Page]

Oh, no. My mistake. It's a horny toad. (Which is actually a lizard.)

Yea. With horns!

I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop

I love that song.

I know some hearty folk whose party joke's
Pretending to hunt with the Quorn,
Gone away! Gone away! Was it one of them took it away?

and that classic line ... I found my horn ... gorn.

It reminded me of a lovely Bertie Wooster book, in which he visits a chap who has even more aunts than he does. One of the aunts has written the chap a song to sing at the village concert all about going off hunting on a May morning, but Bertie points out some lyrics are simply asking for someone in the hall to make a chi-yiking and tearing noise. He suggests they forestall this by adding the line:

Over brake and over thorn,
Although our bags get torn.

Hello, Honey

I find it heart-warming the way in which Flanders & Swann's humour has survived.

And then there's 'bags'. There's a word I haven't used in ... umm ... well, a very long time. But, then again, it's still possible to find oneself 'de-bagged'. Oops!

As did some of us, back in the day.

I like the 'spider in the bath' song "Half and inch or so at least". . .
