 EV>You might be right about the second line ending at the word DOG.
 EV>I haven't type those lines in a long time.

 DS>   I remember "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of

Yes, I remember being told that about the THE QUICK BROWN... line.
Every Key on the Typewriter (Keyboard) is used when typing that line,
IF I don't get My fingers crossed.

 EV>I think I'm repeating Myself here but here goes -

 DS>   Like the line in the movie "What's Up, Doc??" (Ryan
O'Neil, Barbara
 DS> Streisand, and an all star cast). He said "I'm not repeating myself!!
 DS> I'm not repeating myself!! Oh, God!! I'm repeating myself!!" .

Never saw that movie. Was that one made when Movies Were Better Than Ever?

 EV>I had played with Typewriters a few times with the HAP Method -
 EV>Hunt And Peck.

 DS>   Was that discovered by HAP-enstance?? 

GOOD UN!    +1 for U!

 EV>After some time I was hearing all 26 letters, sent as some words or
 EV>as five letter code groups.

It has been some time since You took that 5 WPM CW Test, try it again to
see it You and make any sense out of what You hear.

 EV>Then the sending speed was increased.

 DS>   At a hamfest in the Little Rock area many years ago, they had "A CW
 DS> Shootout At High Noon". Two hams tied for the top at 55 WPM!!

WOW! 35 WPM sounds like a Machine Gun to Me, back when I was active on the
Air I was comfortable with sending/receiving 22 WPM.

Don't know how good I am at it now, I guess I HAVE TO add another line to
the ROUNDTUIT List to listen to a Code Practice session on the Radio.
I think [TM] I can listen to that on a web page also............

 EV>Could She feed You the Crow and Pie while You and Her did a do-si-do on the
 EV>square dance floor?

 DS>   I'd eat between the dancing "tip"...which is a
"patter call" (square
 DS> dance moves only to music), then a "singing call" (square
dance moves
 DS> done to a song).

You said, "I'd eat" - SHE didn't get to eat some of that
"four and twenty
black birds baked in a pie" with You?
Surely She licked Her fingers to get a little taste of it.

I was wondering if She Square Danced too, that's why I asked.
Maybe keeping Daryl in line was enough for Her to do and She sat on the
bench and watched You.

Back in the 1970's Me and My Wife went to a Community get together and
watched some older people Square Dancing and the young people doing a little
bit different style of dancing while the music was playing.
Everybody on the floor was having fun while We just sat and watched.

 DS>   While 3 hours of square dancing is equivalent to 6 miles of walking,
 DS> many go out afterwards to eat and chat...including having "a banana hot
 DS> fudge royale sundae"...after all, they did EARN it!! 

That is a new style of sundae to Me.

Is it served in a Sundae Cup with the Banana sliced in Round [not Square]
pieces

 or

in a Banana Split Dish with the Banana sliced lengthwise?

Sound Yummy to Me!
