Depends on whether I get what I want, what I need, or what I deserve, my bit remaining to be seen when I visit Ogygian, if then. One thing I'm sure of: it's one bit short of two.

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way, from your first Super Bowl to your last dyin' day.....
Would you believe that I purchased a share of Deluge for two bits from the Old Augean Stables?
The owners hope to clean up big time when things are taken at the flood. He hails from Tartar Farms, better known for its Mongolian ponies, and has been trained by Jan Neruda, son of the great Pablo "Fagin" Neruda*. He's already pferd better than expected in his first outing, placing just behind Apres Moi.
It's best not to look a gif (or jpeg) horse in the mouth, but Ogygian seems to be giving the viewer what New Yorkers call a "Bronx Cheer." Ah well, gather ye raspberries while ye may.
-Sorry -a little knowledge is a stoopid thing and I hope that RB doesn't have to put up with this sort of stuff in his classes.
Memory will have to serve for some bits from a radio broadcast within a broadcast of the old National Lampoon Radio Hour. The first went something like, "The owners of the New York Jets announced that Joe Namath has been retired and put out to stud." The second was along the lines of, "Management reports that Joe Namath was put down in the early hours of the morning after he was found to be impotent."
*Please don't shout or wave it about, but see "Peru" and the limerick about the lady from Peru who found an elephant wang in her stew

Gollyoski- this thread has gone quiet. Did I just pass a raspberry? Farlex's free online dictionary confirmed raspberry = Bronx Cheer with:
"Slang A derisive or contemptuous sound made by vibrating the extended tongue and the lips while exhaling", but also surprised moi with "possibly short for raspberry tart, rhyming slang..." for the word which sounds like the German word for "travel" or "drive" or a bit in the classic, "Whoopie John Wilfahrt and his band will play."
So (once again), Sorry - I seem to have put the fahrt before the pferd - or something like that.
