Alas and alack.
I miss my Froopert :(
I'm getting like the Count!
I wonder how her fisherman training is going?
Anyhow, on to more serious matters.
Look at this picture. Did the ancient Egyptians really have snakes with ears? Bunny ears at that? Wow. They must be extinct, surely. Or National Geographic - a favorite of Ratnesh's mother, would surely have had a documentary on it.
I went to the British Museum last autumn and viewed a few artifacts... This caught my eye, being a lover of nature and animals and all that good stuff. I wonder what happened to the bunny eared snakes...
In this picture, you can see under the real rabbit's paws, an ancient Egyptian tv antenna. Very interesting indeed.
We are always being fooled by our own feelings of superiority to the ancient civilisations and then end up realising we are not all that great.
This is another example - These people had TVs so many thousands of years ago.
I dearly love museums and as you can see - I always come out smarter than when I went in!
:D

Oh my soon to be sister-in-law! You feel my pain as I do! Let us support each other in this barren time. We both need our Froopert in our lives, in order to survive.
Let us plead with her to give up her schemes of becoming a fisherman and return to her home. From there, as soon as I get my pills, I shall lead her in state to the marriage altar.
Let us console each other and endeavor to retrieve our lost sheep!
Yours in brotherly love and affection,
Count Ruprecht.
Count,
Your sentiments are truly touching...
(wth?)
I will endeavour to console u from a distance, but I strongly believe Froopert is suited to be a fisherman - it suits her personality...
I will not in any way, try to stop her from trying to fulfill her life's ambition.
Please try to bear up Count, she'll be back in a few short days - or nights, in your case...
with the greatest sympathy and confusion,
Froopert

Cousin Buck,
I'm sure Earl can whittle the hieroglyphics onto a nice piece of mahogany. I would love to see the finished product. Ratnesh's mother's wooden teeth are really taking up his time! I hope they turn out ok.
Nice to see you are enjoying the blog.

Thank you Ratnesh,
Your comments are so indicative of your level of erudition. I genuinely feel for you my boy.
I do hope you find a way to augment your meagre education and perhaps learn some manners.
Dare to dream.

You went to the British Museum?
I've been to London a few times but never had the chance to visit the BM.
I did go to the V&A a few times!
I LOVE museums too - we should meet up and go together :)

Nice photos Frooples,
they really do look like snakes with ears! I wonder what they mean...
Very nice Frooples.
Yeah Froops very nice! Glad you come out smarter than when you went in.
