Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Bonus pic!

The prototype and the protege, the originator and the imitator, the alpha and the omega, The Stagnator and The Stagnator 2: The Second Term, The A. Wright Senator (left) and the Rosecraft Sweetwater Creek Senator (right)...

Whatever you call them, if I could only keep one - I'm leaning heavily toward the Rosecraft. Blasphemy, I know, but there it is. I can't find anything wrong with it.🤷 Half-stop on a lamb is kinda weird, I guess - but I also kinda like it. 🥸 It's most excellent that I can have more than one. I do like them both in their own ways.

Nothing weird about halfstops on Lambs, a lot of the old ones have them.

Bone Jigging is wonderful, I wonder: is he himself doing his jigging work?



And again: the Guardians are about to have some of these amazing actors in action. It's great to see them!



I love Steve! Horn really comes to life and shows all his brilliance in his translucence in natural sunlight!





I'm still trying to figure it out, Jack. 🤣 😂 I know I probably wouldn't understand if I said it in that accent. In New Zealand terms, get away with it!:D

Belissimo! 😎 Tutto benne Cosimo? Buona giornata amico mio :) :thumbdsup:

Good morning Guardians, it's good to know that my time drinking coffee in Charlie's hasn't been entirely wasted! :D My phone has never stopped pinging since I got up, couple of people asking 'favours', which actually involve quite a bit of work :rolleyes: Hoping to meet up with Matt later, and a few other friends, for a pint or two. Taking Wee Staggy out with me :) Hope you all have a great weekend Guardians :thumbsup:

My old lamb has half stops, the old late 19th century catalogues I gave show half stops too.

Good morning, Guardians! From banana flowers to mango - I must be on some kind of crazy fruit kick!! I'm definitely on a crazy Rosecraft kick, as I can't seem to put this one down!

g0kZ2dt.jpeg


It isn't mango season in Miami (at least I don't think it is... when driving around, I see people selling avocados by the side of the road and I believe it's one of the other. 🤔) and this example came from the grocery store.

Miami is ripe with Spanish slang, the majority of it lost on me - as I've cast my entire linguistic lot with English, beautifully diverse cesspool that it is! Occasionally though, some kind soul will show up that, probably assuming I need a chuckle, will explain the finer (or at least funnier) points of the conversations going on all around me that I'm missing entirely. And that is how I know that amongst Venezuelans, the term "concha de mango" (concha - "shell," like a conch, but in this case "skin" would be a closer translation) or "mango skin" means a trick question or something easy to slip on - kinda how the rest of the world thinks about slipping on the proverbial banana peel. I can testify that mango skins are indeed much more slippery than banana skins.

Amongst the Cuban population, the term "arroz con mango" implies a situation that is chaotic and complicated. Upon seeing a train derailment resulting in a twenty-car pileup in the middle of a Thanksgiving day parade during an ongoing blizzard in which a few buildings have caught fire - a Cuban person might be likely to exclaim "¡arroz con mango! or "mango with rice!" - just imagine what that would look like: a mess!! I say "likely," because the Cuban people have an incredible number of colorful expressions to describe such an event - most of them inappropriate to utter in polite society (not much of that here...)!

Less specific to any particular group of South-American Spanish speakers (but I believe it originated in Mexico), the term "mango" used on its own, as an exclamation, is used to signify that the person you are saying it to looks good - could be sharp, could be sexy, it's versatile but generally positive. For example, if Jack were to meet Wolfie at the cafe, and Wolfie showed up sporting some slick new duds and a fresh haircut - it would be entirely appropriate for Jack to exclaim "mango!" following which, Wolfie would spin around so that he could admire the whole ensemble.

I think that's all I know about the various uses of "mango" as a Spanish slang term, so it'll have to do. Have a great day Guardians!
