A common myth in rural areas is the story of the farmer who is killed and eaten by a renegade haybale. These stories are simply an urban legend. The rise of these tales probably originates from the occasional sight of a pair of boots sticking out of the end of a haybale. Not to worry - the farmer inside is most likely alive and well. This haybaleian defensive behaviour, called "rolling", usually occurs when a haybale feels threatened and envelops a farmer in a show of superiority. Although frightening to the farmer, this defensive action is rarely fatal. The farmer simply waits until the haybale has calmed down, and then is free to wriggle backwards out of the haybale's embrace.

I thought it might look more like  ... but that's just me. I've been astonished by the price of food recently. What it must be like for people on small incomes, I dread to think. |

"The Administration asserts the right to fill the ranks of the regular army by compulsion...Is this, sir, consistent with the character of a free government? Is this civil liberty? Is this the real character of our Constitution? No sire, indeed it is not....Where is it written in the Constitution, in what article or section is it contained, that you may take children from their parents, and compel them to fight the battles of any war in which the folly or the wickedness of government may engage it? Under what concealment has this power lain hidden which now for the first time comes forth, with a tremendous and bailful aspect, to trample down and destroy the dearest rights of personal liberty? The plot muddles... |

It is clearly time to adopt a baleful expression, admit that someone has bowled off one's bails, stop using bayleaves in cooking and be prepared to be arrested and tried at the Old Bailey for crimes that one has not committed, being as they are outside one's bailiwick - and return once again to the topic of HOW THE OTHER HALF CRUNCHES (assuming that there is indeed any such thing as an other half in such a context and that, if so, it actually does or can crunch if called upon to do so). Can credit crunch? - yes, if corn flakes; in fact, one could almost bank on it, interestratingly enough...

Oh and by the way - the Feds misheard and thought that they were being persuaded to "bail" Ali G; whether or not they should have acceeded to this request I cannot say, since I am a mere Lehman...
