It's how the main character (teenager) attempts to overturn a ban on dancing that were enforced by the local minister. He uses some of those verses.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba",
which ironically means absolutely nothing.

1. They invented spray deodorant because they have so many armpits. laugh

Rog,
When I clicked on 12, I got a popup porno ad and a warning about it on my iMac.

Hi Rog.


Why must the phrase, "It is none of my business", always be followed by, but?

Lady K, SQF, Remi, Jimbo - great answers! smile

Lady K - odd. I use postimages.org and have done so for a long time (at least as long as Pub Quiz night has been going)> I checked the url with Norton Safe Web and it came up as "safe". Do you get the same problem with previous Pub Quiz Night pictures?

Marian, Sue - thanks for the input. What does everybody else get?

Also, does anybody else use postimaages.org? If not, what would you recommend?

12. I'll go with the Grand Palace in Thailand, most likely in Bangkok smile

I've used postimages for years and the only problem is an occasional shutdown of the site.
