I'm stuck, trying to figure out what it is...a sailor, maybe? 🤔
To me it doesn't even matter, he stuck in an appearance. 😉

Less is more

- First appeared in "Andrea del Sarto", a poem by Robert Browning (1855).
- A mate in four is so much more elegant than a plodding error-ridden resignation at move 67.

I found this sitting on page 3, so thought I'd stick it back here.

It did appear to have been mired/stuck in the hinterlands of this thread.

I would have bumped it up sooner but was in a bantering session with 5 or 6 people as you may have noticed, you know the usual stuff....LOL.... I then thought about not having seen the Sticky Thread Game so went hunting for it and found it on page 3!

Being stuck so low in the GF makes me sad so I'll try and make sure that it stays, at least, on page 1.

I concur, feel it my responsibility even though I know it isn't, I know what you mean.

Here we are stuck on top until next post all of a few seconds maybe?....LOL...

During the day, bats stick to dark places.

At night they usually stick to eating flying bugs, like mosquitoes.

Well I wish they would get more mosquitoes than they do as they seem to swarm me in places where they gather. Some say if you eat bananas or wear dark clothing they will swarm you. Happened back several years ago at a funeral and I eat a banana every day, and happened to be wearing a navy blue suit one of the rare occasions I wear one anymore. People around me were beating them off me, but a few of them managed to stick me several times.

Perhaps you should stick with light coloured clothing and, oh I don't know, maybe a chili pepper? 🤔

Perhaps next funeral will be a light blue suit, not giving up my banana a day sticking to that one. The chili pepper is out too!
