<Tim> Nice one. You have to think aboot that one for a minute... |

| Aug-11-18 | | Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: <Tim> Nice one. You have to think aboot that one for a minute...> My fondness of earthy humor has no stops, full or otherwise. Uncle Tompa is my spirit guide. |

http://www.eastessence.com/Full-Len...Thought you'd appreciate the chance get on board before everyone else. |

<Tim> Who is Uncle Tompa? Was he a character on <J.P. Patches> amirite. |
|
| Aug-12-18 | | JimNorCal: There are a series of Tompa stories, humorous and often ribald, associated with the Tibet of the past. I was about to post an example ... but probably better if you search it out yourself if curious. |

<JimNorCal> Was it kind of like "Tintin in Tibet," but much darker? |
|
| Aug-12-18 | | JimNorCal: Not a bad characterization, actually. |
|
| Aug-12-18 | | JimNorCal: Of course TinTin is a Euro comic from some decades back. Uncle Tompa is authentic and traditional Tibetan storytelling. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akh... |

| Aug-12-18 | | JimNorCal: Sorry to beat this into the ground ... and boomie may well be back to say "that's NOT the guy" but here's an Amazon link. This book allows you to read selected excerpts.

| Aug-12-18 | | Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: Who is Uncle Tompa? Was he a character on <J.P. Patches> amirite.> I believe that was Gertrude. Here's is a rare glimpse of the pair at the Seafair parade. Or was that the Occupy whatever fiasco? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._P.... |

Thanks for the help.
We should probably warn you that Jessie and I tease each other unmercifully and our posts to each other should not be taken literally. She is well aware of Uncle Tompa since we covered this ground less than a year ago. |
|
| Aug-12-18 | | JimNorCal: Ah!
Well, I am definitely a naïf so not unexpected LOL. |

<JimNorCal> Thanks so much for that TOMPA READING LINK. I enjoyed "Sleeps With the King's Daughter," but I was quite disappointed that "Sells Penises at the Nunnery" was not included in the preview reading. That just *has* to be the best short story title of all time. |

I'm thinking this game must have ruffled <Petrovs'> feathers: Vladimir Petrov vs Pelikan, 1936 |

| Aug-13-18 | | Boomie: <Jessie>
I understand that Uncle Tompa did a throbbing, uh, thriving business at the convent. You have to love a culture that pokes fun at their own traditions. Good natured teasing is a sign of maturity. |

A wonderful bird is the pelican;
His beak can hold more than his belican.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week,
Though I’m damned if I know how the helican! |

| Aug-13-18 | | Boomie: Here is a fun site chock full of limericks.
http://www.thehypertexts.com/The%20... Alas, it doesn't have one of my favs.
There was an old man from Yuma
Who told a Goldwater joke to a puma.
The puma began
To eat the old man.
The puma had no sense of huma. |
|
| Aug-13-18 | | thegoodanarchist: My favorite continues to be about the man from Nantucket. Although the one about a hermit named Dave is fairly crude as well. |

 | | OhioChessFan: The one about Robin Hood is in the running there. |
|
| Aug-14-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <The one about Robin Hood> Don't know it.
Do I <even> want to know it? |
