- When my father got angry, he'd swear "Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle". This was quite confusing. Harry? Herbert? Now, in the crypt of the Templars, the fresco clearly showed
- a Jesus Hamford Christ on what looked like a Penny Farthing. Probably, this piece was made by Victorian Templars as a way to express their faith in such sinful and filthy times
- new roman fonts. What an evil font it is. Its violent and narcissistic. Anyone who uses the font is likely guilty of racketeering or general beef-wittedness which
- is hardly a crime. Times New Roman is undeniably evil, but it's all about how you use it. Simon switched to Calibri, loving the soft lines and curves of each unimposing letter.
- Simon used Calibri everywhere.Inspired by its simple sans-serif typeface, he lived sans anything that complicated his life.That is, until the mix up with the #l and lower case "l".
- Calibri flew into a rage. "Who is this Ca1ibri slut? How could you sneak around on me? You're breaking my <3." Simon tried to explain the mistake, but Calibri was done listening.
- she flitted about wings beating 80 times per second and pecked at his eyes with her sharp beak. Fortunately his shades protected him. He filled his saxophone with honey
- and the little bird drank from it while he played it 'Favorite Things' by John Coltraine, gloopily. Once finished, the hummingbird built a nest of cobwebs inside the sax and laid a
- couple eggs in the horn which hatched into jellybean-sized hummingbirds that sort of adopted the man as their daddy. They buzzed around him while he played his sax and followed him
- wherever he went, something like the Pied Piper only way, waaaaaay cooler. Somewhere in heaven, Coltrane was smiling.

Wait, how did you know about Coltraine? Is there something I don't know about connecting saxophones to hummingbirds that let you to know that the person above you mentioned Coltraine? I'm dumbfounded!

I was online about the same time you were and was reading the folds. I was thinking about LucieLucie's fold and asking myself if Coltrane had really done "My Favorite Things" and had to stop to look it up. Then when I came back, you had already posted your fold...so I just fnished it up! :) Wish I could say I that I have some kind of magical insight, but it's as simple as that. Loved your fold, by the way!

Wikipedia says: John William Coltrane, also known as "Trane"; (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967[1]) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. I think he is one of the most famous Jazz saxophonists. Maybe for that reason. Really enjoyed the images on this one.

Agree, SlimWhitman...and it was your fold that opened the door for the hummingbirds to fly into this story!

I was thinking about a certain kind of nectar decanter I saw at a humming bird feeding station in the Rockies. The shape reminded me of saxophones... Colorful notes flitting out of the bell.
