They are fascinating; I think I shall be returning often to read what you have written, but so many others leave comments that mine would be superfluous.<br /><br />Putz is often incomprehensible but I have developed an affection for him that cannot be explained. His family does not like him to blog, so he has pretty much stopped posting altogether. Sometimes he drops by here and leaves a comment.<br /><br />If (as you state in your profile) you enjoy fictional autobiography, you might like <a href="http://billyraybarnwellhere.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">this</a>.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-57258045201698013722012-05-02T01:11:08.870-04:002012-05-02T01:11:08.870-04:00Putz led me here.

We don't celebrate it in Australia as far as I know, but it seems others throughout the world do. <br /><br />It's good to meet you and your blog.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-30286427020839420492012-05-01T12:05:10.773-04:002012-05-01T12:05:10.773-04:00Actually, I never found the Marx Brothers particul...Actually, I never found the Marx Brothers particularly amusing.

May Day" and to yell "M'aidez! M'aidez!" instead. But thank you for the lovely mental image I now have of you running naked into the sea, elatedly celebrating. <br /><br /><b>Yorkshire Pudding,</b> methinks you are a Socialist, perhaps with Marxist leanings. No wonder you like our President Obama so much.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-18564445709897317562012-05-01T06:48:59.093-04:002012-05-01T06:48:59.093-04:00Workers of the world, unite and fight!

This is accompanied by torchlit processions and much elated celebration."<br /><br />Is this the bit I'm supposed to be able to relate to? <br /><br />Sounds like an everyday on my island, sans torches and processions.
