    and is it a fully laden swallow?

    Is this some sort of inside joke or is this topic way above my head?
    Are you familiar with Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

    How’d I miss this?? 🤔

    Do you know I'm estimating
    you can probably read all 4,978 previous pages in about a week? Won't you then be all caught up?

    How did you come to this determination? 🧐
    Didn't I explain my methodology already? 🤔

    Did I miss it after a second pages-back review? Or did you explain your methodology several thousands of pages ago? 🤪

    Could someone finally mention that "fully laden swallow" is a Monty Python reference?

    Can you please pop in to explain to me each time a movie reference goes over my head, @EllenJill ?
    Did you also miss my movie reference explanation? (Do you wish you could've seen me almost spit out my coffee when my phone's auto correct function wanted to change 'explanation' to 'exoskeleton'?) 🤣

    Wouldn’t that have just made me think it was some kind of movie-quote-knowing lingo instead of a hilarious auto correct accident?

    Wasn't it in fact "unladen swallow" rather than "fully laden swallow"? Wasn't I thinking about a swallow "fully laden" with a coconut? But would that have been a European Swallow or a (nonmigratory) African Swallow? 😂

    Are you though??

    Is it just me or does @frankwbrown seem to be well-versed on movie mentions of birds?

    Didn't @paperpudding start the whole thing with her European/African swallow question?

    Speaking of quotes and this movie topic, who said "Run away, run away!", and why? 🤣

    Isn't that when the Holy hand grenade comes into play?

    Is my inability to answer this question correctly the reason you wouldn’t want me as your partner for movie trivia?

    Although it's correct to say the "Run Away, Run Away!" line occurs with the Holy Hand Grenade scene, is it not MORE accurate to say it occurs multiple times throughout the movie? Do you perhaps also recall running from the cow catapulted over the wall, or the multi-eyed monster on the loose (until the writer had a heart-attack)?

    Shall I also mention the Black Knight saying "Oh I see, running away, eh?"

    I wonder, should there be a Monty Python thread?

    Is anybody else sitting down to a freshly brewed cup of coffee while they wait for the blueberry Dutch baby pancake they just put in the oven? ☕🥞😋

    (gone already?) 😋😢

    Aren't I only halfway there because, while I am drinking freshly brewed coffee, I, alas, have no blueberry Dutch baby pancake in the oven?

    Would you believe the Dutch baby was worth waiting 15 minutes for?
    (Who would think 1 egg, ~¼ cup of milk, ~¼ cup of flour, 2 tbl butter, ~1.5 oz blueberries could be so satisfying?)

    🙋‍♀️ Is that all there is to the recipe? No sugar?

    Wasn’t it easier for me to plunk my blueberries on yogurt instead? 😅

    Isn't that even easier than throwing them in oatmeal, like I did?

    Aren't these berries one last wild raspberry from a patch along the driveway in the front yard, probably the last strawberry I'll get from my garden this year and several wild black raspberries from a different patch along the driveway? Does anyone hate to see the end of berry season as much as I do?

    Does that surprise you? Although I didn't, don't some people sprinkle powdered sugar on top?

    Don't I normally plunk my blueberries in granola or oatmeal or some other cereal, and less frequently regular buttermilk pancakes?

    Doesn't "blueberry plunk" sound like some old-fashioned dessert?
