Hmm..Sounds like a Boardwalk Play and Movie...Arsenic and Old Lace?

[ClearCase_guy]

A maze of caves, narrow passageways and underground lakes the cave through which the river Llynfell emerges at the base of the cliffs at Dan yr Ogof farm has always been known.

H.P. Lovecraft could have written that sentence.

"My family have been here for yonks and in the 1920s and '30s they found the skeletons.

Yonks?

[R. Scott]

Love Google!:
YONKS n. Quite simply, a long time. Not a specific length of time at all; it could be minutes or decades. Good examples would be "Where have you been? I've been waiting here for yonks!" or "Met a friend from school the other day who I haven't seen for yonks."

This story is a delight, and the cave exploration reads like some old Hardy Boys book. I love the eccentric nature of a family willing to store these skeletons in their closet all these years. This should be made into a movie.

Here is a link to a site about the caves:

No bones about it, send them back to the cave.

But it was bone-headed to not tell anyone after the war.

Found this, and the next five or six (I'm pinging this in reverse alphabetical order, so they stack up A-Z on your "comments" page) on nickcarraway's "in forum" page. Nick pings me and/or Blam with interesting GGG type topics every week I think, but goes a little too easy on us. Here are some he'd not sent.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

Arsenic and Old Lace?

CHARGE!

Thanks Civ.

"But it was bone-headed to not tell anyone after the war."

I agree, they had to be a bunch of numbskulls. If I were involved, I'd have a bone to pick with those people, and they'd get more than a slap on the wrist. I wonder what kind of joint keeps skeletons in the closet for so long....I really kneed that kind of information and I'm not about to knuckle under.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Joe, I think you've put your finger on the pulse of the issue. At the wrist of offending any Socialist lurkers, I say there is too much government involvement in our livers. The government should leave these South Dakota voters alone, lest it become hemorrhoidal, an absolute pelvic nuisance. Isn't there anyone with the spine to stand up to these knuckleheads? Knees Louise! Skulls should roll! Tibia or not to be, that is kneet the question....it's an adenoiding decision....noggin to sneeze at...

Val, thanks for the rib. I mean ping.

Your ability to organ-ize your thoughts chills me to the bone. I'd give my eye teeth to be able to cut to the quick with such a well fleshed out presentation.

Others may not be able to stomach these puns, but they're music to my ears. Elbow before any man so nimble with words.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

(blush) Thanks. Your kudos fall favorably upon my earie canal, inspiring me to again put my shoulder to the plow, and really osteoporosis myself into my work, the work of my hands, which I regrettably cannot palm off on anyone else's back.

I am Divinely blessed with this ability, 'skull being me.

LOL.

*sigh* every staircase is San Juan hill...

[Joe 6-pack]

Pride in a job well done is no shin, and it is always good to eyeball puns of such timeless quality in this efemural world. I've really got to give you a big hand for your truly impressive corpora of wordplay. You ought to consider writing a book, but I'll bet it would be so extensive it would cost an arm and a leg.
