I am offended on behalf of the poor, defenceless blankets. They didn't ask to be made, folded up and stuffed in a cupboard or under the divan. They should be flapping about freely on a clothes line somewhere, not cooped up in mothballs. Free the blankets!

Free the blankets?! Kangaroos first. Then blankets.
Obviously, when we support kangaroos we also express solidarity with all oppressed Australian marsupials.

Oppressed kangaroos? You shouldn't oppress kangaroo, makes it all thin, tough and stringy-like. Just cook it on the grill, like rabbit.

"Shame on you" ?
I would have said it was more a case of "More fool you" if you're suggesting or even considering violence against RooK. Though why I'm offended is anyone's guess, since he's more than capable of defending himself. Guess I just don't like bloodshed.

Well, if you know you don't like bloodshed, why get involved in the discussion in the first place? Why don't you keep your lily-livered, namby-pamby thoughts to yourself, instead of coming over all self-righteous about it?

Your inability to address a (admittedly long deceased) British Monarch by a respectful and fitting title can only mean that you are one of the worst kind of British republicans who cannot bring themselves to rise even to the level of common politeness when it comes to the Royal family.

Thing we need to know, lilB, is just how offensive are you? Can you blow our socks/knickers/whatever you like off? The clock is ticking.

Stripping now? I don't know whether to be more offended because stripping demeans women or because if God had wanted us to be naked he wouldn't have made us wear clothes.

You know, just set your own rules for yourself, hon. Not everyone is as repressed about physical affection as you. Knee-pressing is a time-honored mammalian kinship display, right up there with lice- grooming and nose- bumping. I know because I read it in one of Dian Fossey's lesser known field journals. Argue with THAT.

I am confused as to by what laws we are supposed to be governed here (I know we are all governed by fear of the killer rabbit; she's the ruler, but what are the rules?). Are we supposed to be offended by the post before last like lilBud? Or the post fourth from bottom as Rowen thinks? Or by ourselves like no_prophet (frankly, my friend, I do NOT think this is the place to play with yourself, especially as I so devotedly offer to lend a hand). Or are we just supposed to moan at being ignored like our ruler?
It is also unacceptably confusing that on this thread people (if that's the word I want) undergo sex changes and others leave us in doubt as to whether they are male, female or Angela Merkel. Take an example from Starbutt who within three posts of arriving made a statement of exemplary clarity and concision which left nothing to be desired. Or rather: a lot.
And here's to the rule nazis: Confusion counts as offence. Mine does anyway.

I simply cannot believe you dare to accuse me of la dee dah innuendo! Bluntness, fine. Grossness, ok. But innuendo, possibly even subtle? That's offensive. Next you'll start accusing me of being a gentleman.
I did not no_prophet was a man (how did you find out?), and you may think I am not known for being particular (beggars can't be choosers, what?). But what on earth made you fantasize about gay activities and people fondling themselves? no_prophet was playing with himself, laying patiences I guess. And I was suggesting chess or draughts with me instead.
You seem to have a smutty mind.
Any plans for tonight yet?

With all due respect, Ruth-- and you must know it is considerable-- throwing out "ITTWACW" is just as pathetic, pitiful, and uninspired as using "How very dare you!" as if nobody's heard that one hundred and forty thousand times.
Oh, and as a reminder, anyone who uses the latter is on my personal axe list, unless they actually are Catherine Tate, in which case-- be my best friend?

You'll notice that whenever someone says 'with all due respect', the words that follow usually contain no respect at all. A crime far worse than quoting the great St Catherine of Tate.
