Marlenny, I'm 27. Maybe the fact that I'm perpetually in school keeps me youthful. :D

And yes, Detta, I did attend UK for grad school. I also was raised in Louisville.

EDIT: Also, no worries, Aran! I can't grow a beard to save my life either. :)

That's a fine looking mess of firewood Detta. I wish we had oak in my neck of the woods, I'm stuck with fir and maple.

I'm still a little worried by the idea that you think I look like a distorted version of Sun Myung Moon, though.
:P Ah, the mystery is solved! In the larger version it is very obvious that you are not this Moon person.
You also don't look like Thuryl from the very first picture though ... Maybe it's the new haircut ^_^

edit: Hi Detta! Nice to see you again. How is your cat?

Well, I've aged two years since the first picture was taken. Also, the second picture was obviously taken under different lighting conditions, using flash photography.

Heh, might as well add a link to my little ol' myspace profile... www.myspace.com/can it's terrible but it's one of the only places I actually have a pic of myself on...so yeah, check if you wanna'a. But I've gotta say, the image I had of spidwebbers has gotten rather a sharp kink in it now with the intwoduction of Marlenny and what not:D thought you guys were all old and balding:D not rather cute...who'd've thought:D btw, I seem to remember one of these the last time I was on...does this also call for another hello thread? any of those recently? I mean, I could start one again:)

The subject was trees, and salmon said, 'I wish we had oak in my neck of the woods...'

It's an idiom that means "where I live". As Drakey said, it's unlikely that a pun was intended.

Native speakers of what? :confused:

Yes, Thuryl looks like he's grown a bit. Still too cute and too young for me though.

Salmon, we've got a lot of Oak trees in Richmond. All that wood came from trees that fell down all over the city. We split it up and deliver it to elderly and handicapped people who can't afford to heat their homes.

Thanks spy.there. It's good to see you too. Bill's doing great. He's still a cranky cat, but he's MY cranky cat!

One last thing. If you have to explain it, it becomes way less punny.

It seems like it was more double entendre than pun.

It's not a pun! It's a common expression.

It was a clever play on words...which according to dictionary.com, is the definition of "pun".

I think people are trying to suggest that the expression ("my neck of the woods") was well-chosen for a discussion of trees, since, after all, the expression can be used with regard to anything ("I wish we had more cars in my neck of the woods"). This doesn't make it a pun or a double entendre; it's just a relevant figure of speech.

Not to break up the surely very fascinating conversation going on in here, but how about some more pictures? I'd gladly put up some of me, if they weren't so heinous compared to all the other lovelies. Mind you, that's just when considering your tastes, which I don't hold very high. ^^

Aran, ich schimpfte dich nich, weil mein Deutsch nicht besser ist.

(Und, erklich zu sein, muss ich sagen, dass sein Englisch ziemlich besser ist.)

Ich sagte nur, dass die Leute, die den Phrase nicht gekannt haben, kaum sagen können, dass sie gebürtige Sprechere sind.

(Und, naja, ich weiß, dass ich eine Menge Vehler gemacht habe. -_-)
