(7,326 posts)I googled forked tongue to get an image of one, and was surprised to see that this is a "thing". People are actually having their tongues split.

His next negative achievement could be something from which it will be very difficult to recover from.

(6,396 posts)She lived down the street when I moved in 30+ years ago. Told me stories about sledding down 8th Ave (major street even 30 year ago) and horses pulling them back up for the next run. Retired art teacher. She LOVED computers and was so excited about the possibilities they presented. She was a firecracker!!!
Anyway... the two songs I remember from her funeral were "Hello Young Lovers" from The King and I and, for the Recessional, Camp Town Races!! We all left the church singing "Doo dah, doo dah!"

(17,128 posts)Your story reminded me of it If it is offensive, I'll remove it
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husbands occupation. Hes a funeral director, she answered. Interesting, the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldnt mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.
After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40s, and a preacher when in her 60s, and now in her 80s a funeral director The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
(Wait for it
)
She smiled and explained: I married
One for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
And four to go!
I think I should have seen that coming!!
And I'm certain my neighbor would have chuckled.

"The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in any message it would transmit or convey, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.

(12,037 posts)I noticed he did it again and again during that speech. Is that just a personal tick of his, or is it meant as a signal?
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Other than his physical appearance and the sound of his voice, that hand gesture is the thing I find most annoying about him, and he does it endlessly. It's usually followed by an open palm gesture, sort of a backward wave, which seems to be body language for "Hey, take it or leave it, don't take my word for it, but I'm right."

(50,601 posts)...and the Bowie purists were all up in arms that Commander Hadfield changed the lyrics? Apparently they missed out on the part where in Bowie's version Major Tom died...and Commander Hadfield wouldn't have wanted to sing about that when he was 200 miles above the surface of the earth.
