Surely someone could expand their expertise from moats to canals and work on mouths, not just eyes.
It's just lovely that boats is spelled like moats. I never thought about that before.
If it's big enough for a motorboat, it's a boater moat. If it's smaller, it's a moatette and you can sing it as part of the liturgy.

Oh, it's a musical and I can't sing or dance. The song and dance number about dialectical materialism is spectacular in all the worst ways.
Nope. I'm pretty sure you will have some music that I don't agree with and besides that, don't you know that most conservative Mennonites churches, along with many other things, would never allow attendance at a Communist themed show?
Lucky for you. I am preparing a one-man musical on Anabaptist martyr Anneken de Vlaster where I play both Anneken AND the fire. And it will be in Dutch. Which I don't speak. I'm using Google translate.

A boat will float on a moat.
A mote, take note, won't flote.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

I have a dentist appointment that day.
I'd be happy to come to the dentist's office and tap dance while singing about autonomous workers collectives as you're sitting in the dentist chair.
Now you have me looking forward to the root canal
Y'all quit talking about the dentist's office! I was just there and had my tooth pulled. The paper I had to sign describing all that could go wrong was so terrifying that I told the dentist I should have waited until after she pulled the tooth to read it (and sign it). :o

American dentistry is much better than Brit dentistry. At least the Americans do not use Roto Rooter at the dentist. :lol:

That's probably because you're not welcome here.

At the top of the page, next to the Post Reply button, there's a wrench icon with a drop-down menu; one of the choices is Subscribe topic. If it says Unsubscribe, you have (perhaps unintentionally) signed up for notifications from the thread, and clicking on Unsubscribe should stop them.

If that's not the cause, I have no idea. But it does give me an idea if I actually do want to be hostile sometime. :twisted:
