I'm offended at the implications of your inference, and the restraint of tropical tree climbing in northern locales. To call it racist escapes the point entirely. Trees of the World Unite, you have nothing to lose but your fruit!

Why, you capitalistic little shit-stirrer, you.
From The Bible (Wikipedia):
quote:
The United Fruit Company was frequently accused of bribing government officials in exchange for preferential treatment, exploiting its workers, paying little by way of taxes to the governments of the countries in which it operated, and working ruthlessly to consolidate monopolies

Why, she merits ME of course! She merits to be treated and wooed like a lady which means first thing in the evening she needs to be rescued from the coarse company of YOU lot. I have just the now given orders to water the armour and polish the donkey. And once I have found the Ikea-manual for the 15-foot wooden spear and shield I shall immediately ride to her rescue.
That'll be a gallant night!
I am bitterly disappointed that you have not thought yourself of inflicting this insuperable chance of merriment on the poor lonely girl. Is really the tiniest wee bit of thinking too much to expect?

I am speechless. You want to report me to Social Services with a trumped-up allegation of banana-tree neglect, and now you're proposing (not a word I should use, perhaps, with the likes of you) to polish a donkey?? There are many things you could do with a donkey, and I'm sure you have, but polishing is quite definitely beyond the pale. It's the RSPCA for you, me lad.

I know of no law against polishing donkeys. It may not be usual but that doesn't make it wrong. Surely what matters is that the donkey isn't harmed in any way. Assuming the use of suitable products I can see no ill-effect from a donkey's looking spruced up and shiny. No doubt the gallant knight got his donkey polish in Ikea when he went to buy the self-assembly spear and shield. He just wants to look his best for his gallivanting. Why spoil his fun?

Her.
I am sure you meant to write "her". If you want some private tuition on the proper use of the common English pronoun, I'm your man. We could then progress to the improper use of an uncommon German pronoun. I promise it is all very instructive.
Now, THAT is a subtly innuendoed youphemism, little Bud. Your post by contrast made me shiver.

Kelly, how would you know about BL's knickers? Are you hitting on more ladies than Sylvie? This is a Classy Establishment, and none of us have to stand for your ill behavior.
Plus, we really don't need another one of you turning this into the dating thread, thank you. The Circus is not a pickup joint.

End in madness? Have you not been paying attention? This thread was conceived in madness, has steeped in madness; glories, revels and wallows in madness. Every participant is certifiably insane!*
Ariston wanders around in his clown pyjamas, thinking himself a dishwasher; Kelly types half her posts with her nose as she is restrained in a straight jacket; Syllie acts a combination of Cyrano de Bergerac and Don Quioxte. We have a nutter who thinks herself a wailing spirit or gaseous emission, another who thinks she is a penguin! She jumps in the neighbors' pool, splashing about, naked save for black and white paint, then wanders town begging for fish! Really quite embarrassing. The saddest is the geez, um, pensioner who thinks himself an ex-pat in India. Spends his days sitting atop his toy elephant, reliving the days of the Raj. Though, to be fair, he might have been there, given his age...
Anyhow, this place is a veritable asylum, and you say might end in madness.
*Excepting, of course, myself.

Before I'm sectioned under the Mental Health Act, lilB, could you resolve something? Your sig says 'formerly lilB' but on my screen, right above those extraordinary, gorgeous horns of yours, you are still 'lilBuddha'. For those of us who might still just be teetering on the edge of insanity, this is very unsettling.

Furthermore, that intentional double posting? Yeah. I don't think I need to go into further detail. You know how some people are scared of clowns, like that ghastly one IF had last H&A Day? If you were wise (which, I've noticed, you aren't), you would be one of them—because this clown is watching you in the creepiest way possible.
You've offended us for the last time. Be ready.

Not only is a sentence ended with a preposition but it is one that makes no sense!
Oh, I see - it is a typo! It should have been "buy" - what a shame you didn't spend some of that money on learning basic English - or even how to use the preview button!
Lest you be offended by what I say let me assure you that I say all this in the spirit of love.

Wrong as usual, Justlooking. Wodders was so put out that AA is a dishwasher, he decided to go one better and become a
