You should reread Moby Dick, David Copperfield, 1984, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. You won't be disappointed then! (My favourite novels, by the way, if Homer, Dante, & Shakespeare don't count as novelists. Oh, and whoever wrote Beowulf!)I've been sat outside in my front garden, finishing the novel I took to Bulgaria, and hoping there might be something of worth in the final few chaptersI was disappointed, but enjoying sitting out in the sunshine
They are the best! And yes I welcome the Choleric Waiter!
I was a waiter, and also a room service waiter at the Hilton. But my best job was dishwasher at an old diner in the summer of 1977.They are the best! And yes I welcome the Choleric Waiter!
My handle came from being a food service waiter while also playing online games where I liked to wait for my quarry…
Ah the good old times…
I washed dishes at a Red Lobster in the mid nineties. Had a blast. Bartender brought me a cup of Tanqueray each shift at around 9pm.
Was a waiter at a seafood restaurant in 1985, and tried a martini for the first time there after work. Did not like it. But now it's my favorite cocktail--with Tanqueray, of course! Would have gone into the restaurant business, but didn't want to work nights and weekends.I washed dishes at a Red Lobster in the mid nineties. Had a blast.

Yes sir. That is the rub of such a fun industry. Basically you are working when everyone else is relaxing.
Was a cook too, by the way. (And lambsfoot pics coming, Jack, before I hit the sack!)Yes sir. That is the rub of such a fun industry. Basically you are working when everyone else is relaxing.
You are spot on Vince.
I've read 1984 about a dozen times Vince, and re-read Moby Dick and Tom Sawyer, (I much prefer Huckleberry Finn), a few years back. I've read a lot of fiction in my life, but these days I regard it as a treat, and most of the books I read are non-fiction. As I was going to Bulgaria, the Bulgarian novel was recommended (online) as essential reading. I found it very mediocre

My current flock. The two middle are rosewood, courtesy oftmd_87 and
Modoc ED . The other two I bought (had another which I gifted). Awesome knives, every one.
I read Tom Sawyer when I was 9 or 10 and really loved it. Maybe identified with Tom somewhat. But Huck was a nicer guy, for sure. A noble character. Jim too. Maybe especially Jim.
I agree with Bob Pete. I believe that bone is developing a richer character as time passes.
A handsome quartet of lambdom Vince. With regard to dishwashing... I do all the dishwashing here at home. No dishwasher (other than myself). Got in the habit from the fire department. If you cook then you don't have to do the dishes.View attachment 2215509

Cool pics Pete, looks like fun I've never had a martini!
I agree Vince
Huckleberry Finn was the first novel I read as a child, and re-reading it a few years ago, I wondered how I could have understood it, though I remembered most of it perfectly well. It struck me as adult fiction, compared to Tom Sawyer. I'm afraid that, as an adult, I found Tom rather irritating! Glad you and your Lambs made it safe and sound Paul
That one is a beauty I used to have one of those little toys sitting on top of my PC, had it for years, but it got broken a few years ago 
Same here Dwight, I have turned them down several times. By and large though, I have been the cook. Now, I get to to do the cooking, and the dishes!A handsome quartet of lambdom Vince.

Have a great week all.
LOL!
Welcome home! Another great Lambsfoot pic Paul We have a week of sunshine forecast here, and it looks pretty nice outside. I have a few things to do this morning, and then, ankle permitting, I'll be heading down to Charlie's cafe, and then into town. Carrying my Charlie Lamb in jigged bone Have a good day Guardian, and an excellent week 
Thank you David

When this book first came out, it had a different title, and 'Ray' was 'Raymond', which is what he was known as then. I once read him described as looking like "a plump village butcher"!

Thank you Bob, I hope these fine examples will be seen as the start of an international Lambsfoot Renaissance, with many, many more exceptional Lambsfoot patterns
