artdutra, i bow down to you because you make sence (not saying these other people dont)
but it makes sence...jut flat out to me. i honesly thing that you are on to something.
and like a prior post mentioned..pasta comes in many shapes...not just long noodles...so "pasta" is versitle
also, i found this:
http://www.davefurlong.com/POETRY/song_of_panama.htm
a song of panama...where the first line says:
"Chuff! chuff! chuff!" An' a mountain-bluff
"Is moved to the shovel's song;
"Chuff! chuff! chuff!" Oh, the grade is rough,
A liftin' the landscape along!"
i thought it mighty interesting. i hold true to the "mound" in the middle idea..
but i am brain dead just from READING all these posts!
lets see how close (or far) our guesses were on the 7th!
Merry christmas to you all, and happy new years too!
