Not quite -- would it be easier if I removed the dash? It's only there to show that the two parts (the check and the BFF) are connected.
And my last post was a big clue -- you're so close, Pendragon!

Check as in check mate ? That's the only thing I can think of, but it's probably something else eh?
OK. Then how 'bout "Check you later. Best friends forever." :D
Sorry, Pen, but Aimus got it -- "Checkmate" (a "best friend forever" being a "mate" in certain parts of the world...cough, cough...) As you said to inspire it, "Your move," and so the chess-based conversation began...
Cor blimey, me China, but you're righto, guv! :D Well, Aimus, your move. :nod:
A word problem:
If Farmer Brown's dog eats his entire rhubarb patch when it is full grown, how long will it take that patch to come back up?
http://1000smilies.com/caterpillar.gif
Well, we guess that since rhubarb is pretty sour, then the dog will retch it out quite soon. Since "Come back up" should be a synonym for retch, then the answer is: soon.
?
You are so correct! You noted that I did not say "grow back". Yeah that rhubarb isn't going to stay in the dog's stomach long! :lol: Great catch, Tal!Quote:

Accidentally buying the wife?
He bought the greedy dog?
I think though Tal got it.
Right. Mrs. Brown did NOT have a pink curly tail!Quote:

err no time since one is just as good as many??
:confused:
Is it about the semantics of "cattle"?
Or 'cows'? They need to buy bulls as well?
Are pigs cattle??
I was at a safari park yesterday and my mum said that deers were cattle, that most cattle have squat legs, pigs have short stubby legs so are they cattle??
or is it one cattle 2 cattle ??
Pen!!!
Ah! A true Scherlock! Farmer Brown will NEVER become a cattle baron as long as he only purchases cows. He needs a lesson in basic Biology, to wise up, and buy a BULL!Quote:

Deer are not cattle, nor are pigs, in the true sense, but they are hoofed mammals. Cattle are Bovine. Pigs are Swine. Deer are Cervine. (Divide the hoof, and chew the cud. Remember?) ;)Quote:

Giving out a puzzle of our own:
Legend speaks that Furtševa, cultural minister of Soviet Union, once went to the UNESCO building, but, alas, had forgotten her documents home. You needed documents to prove who you are, so that you could enter.
The person whose job was to sit near the door comforted her. He said: "You know, once Picasso also forgot his documents, when he came here. But then he drew a doveof peace and there was no doubt about who he was and so he was let in. Perhaps you can do something similar?"
Then Furtševa asked something back from the doorkeeper and she was let in.
What did she ask?
Ah, there's the word I was looking for! Thank you! I was getting mixed up, since the pigs are Suidae, and I was thinking the name had something to do with that, as most do. Glad you got my back, Robin! :nod:Quote:

A good guess, but no. :lol: It has to do with a process concerning milk and movement, though! ;)Quote:

Close -- pork chops.
Incidentally, you churn cream, not milk, to make butter.
