I have always felt a little sorry for the letter X.
X rated of course is probably its worst job and then there is X and XX and even 2XX clothing.
Most unfair. 
And the X is not even the beginning of anything. It is not the beginning of a word. Except maybe for the clothing as in Extra Large. Why then does the label not read EL. E is a much nicer letter? Don’t you think? Why do the Larger amongst us (my husband being one of those) have to wear X rated clothing?
Why can’t they be J sized?
Then there is Xmas. Xmas? This makes no sense either. How can Xmas be short for Christmas. It is not a cross like Cross your legs – (I mean: T’s) and Dot your eyes? It is an X for goodness sake.
You don’t see anyone hanging a sign saying X-IT. No, they write Exit. Because it is a Safety Issue. Now how safe is Christmas? With an X.
So, We of the Fellowship are now officially W Rated. For no apparent reason! W for the World. We love the world and are of the World. And we are World Famous in our Own little minds. WorX for me!
W Rated.
What is in my coffee this morning. I sound Drunk!
Carlos IV can give the best bad faces. Hey Jean! Does this remind you of anyone? Your daughter maybe?

Nice rating…ha..ha. 🙂
Xylophone to you and Xenon and kisses! So it’s not all bad. How are Carlos and Alex settling in? I hope you can get Alex into a Farmy state of friendliness.
love,
ViV

… and definitely no Xenophobia in this Fellowship of All Nations!

Lots of love to all x’s or w’s
Maybe we should name Alexs’ calf Xavier to correct this situation 🙂 Imagine if large sized clothes were marked H and 2H or 2HH 🙂 🙂 Laura
Aww, little Carlos and his Grumpy Moo face… And don’t forget that X marks the spot where treasure is buried. I booked my February flight and hotel in Melbourne today, hurray hurray, gloat gloat! It’s going to be Xtremely good fun to meet you, Miss C!
and an accepted signature alongside a thumb print if you are illiterate in a 3rd world country. Laura
And an X for “forbidden”…
And XXXXs for kisses at the lend of a letter!
and XXXX beer here in Australia 🙂
Ha! Love it! She does that face.
I have always sized hats in “pin,” “normal” and “pumpkin.” I have always hated “X is for Xylophone” in children’s books. They do it to paint a color of the rainbow on each key. Xenophobia didn’t make it through the edit.
XOXO!
I look a little drunk in this character picture.
ha ha! don’t know Jean (not yet, anyway…Hi Jean!) but I have been teasing my daughter for years for making “bull” faces…or toro faces as we say over here. When she was very small, she would lower her brow and positively glower at you like a bull. Still does it. Fantastic!! I love being W rated. I feel reborn. Thanks for the rethinking.
HI!
It seems to me that Queenies Booby’s eyes are looking sad now. So sad.
XXXXL symbolizes the greedy, never ever being content people and world, we are living in. – There’s a shop here called XXL, selling furniture and life style products. Ha!
No, X is not even the beginning of anything (so right, Celi), but more – X used in that way IS the very end. Hm, you said it too: X-IT. – X often means “cancelled, erased, extinguished”, too… isn’t that – oh no! What a thing! Whew!
And yes, X-mas. What is that?! But here the X stands for “Ch” what is written with an X in Greek writing (pronounced like “ch” – Xristos). OK, so far. But it sounds so weird in my ears, that X-mas…
Ok, in my language there are few words, beginning with an X. No really bad words. And X is not the very last letter in our alphabets. – How interesting though: It’s followed by “W” (why?) and “Z” (sad?) – oh my, my phantasy goes through with me……… Haha…
Oh, what a philosophical post you brought up today…
It was nice to follow your thoughts! And I do agree with “W” for World. The Farmy World 🙂
Ha ha – I’m off to a cheap Catalan lunch which will end with a carajillo – strong black coffee mixed half and half with Carlos brandy. Bon dia 😉
“W” for well worn wellies walking in weather and wind. Wishing you a wonderful winter.
Love your “drunken” post today. Always love your photos and The Fellowship.
I like that all the pictures of the cattle catch them contemplating your post today. Well done!
I loved this post! I hate it when they write Xmas…horrible. I was so happy this week as I needed a new waterproof/windproof warm winter jacket (that’s a lot of W’s!) but objected to paying £150 or more which is what they charge here for a decent one. I found the perfect jacket for dog walking, perfect fit, super warm and only £4 – less than 10 USD! And the best bit that (because it was a man’s jacket – I don’t mind at all) I didn’t need a ladies XL, it was M!!! Happy days 🙂
Wowee!!! Excellent! Have a Wonderful day!
