And why was it I heard that last sentence in a Nazi accent, Wiffwaff? "Zu vill EAT from ze bowl ve haz marked fur ZU!" I don't take kindly to being ordered around, even by three-headed idols; I have no idea how Art Spiegelman would have drawn you as a polycephalic cat, but, even then, we would all recognize you for what you are.

So you mention the Nazis, but do you mention Stalin? No? Why is Stalin so often overlooked? Was he not a dictator? Did he not work hard putting in the hours sending millions to their death too? But after that selfless effort sacrificing his name for posterity does he have a bit of recognition? An equivalent of Godwin's Law? No, he doesn't. Just ignored, cast away out of the collective memory.
We demand more equal representation for Communist dictators.

Oh, so dictators are only about killing and oppression, then? Why must you enforce the negative stereotypes? What of the good dictators like Garibaldi and, um, well he's the only one at this point, but more could happen.
And what about these Dictators? or do you hate music? Well, do you punk? or, well, in this case not Punk, but you understand...

You say punk in this offhand way, like everyone on the planet won't know exactly who you are talking about.Even over the internet one begins to get a sense of the raised eyebrow and the elbow to the ribs.
1. Who you callin' a punk, punk?
2. All I have to say about that.

"... one begins to get a sense of the raised eyebrow and the elbow to the ribs ..."
Hardly surprising is it, Bugsy, when you use such appalling grammar?
"Who you callin a punk punk?" Perhaps you have some additional learning need or linguistic lacunae you wish to share with us? Loth as I am to throw my weight around (you all know me well enough by now to realise that it simply isn't in my nature), I really feel empowered, nay entitled in this case, to express the collective malaise of all contributors of taste and sense.

Do I spy some little black round things? Could they be licorice sweeties? Lavender seeds? Ah no - Flopsy's been round. Remember to sprinkle some on Ariston's breakfast cereal, won't you?
I am still offended, and, as ITTWACWS, it's outrageous that no-one has even offered to pray with me on the subject.
(mutters to self -- perhaps I should have posted in Hell - at least one is not ignored there, and the flames are warmer than the coldth on this thread.....)

Who is this Borg you speak of? Are you referring to an inferior version of Star Trek? Kindly leave this thread to the purists among us. There is but one Captain and his name is James Tiberius Kirk. All the others are but tawdry copies of his brilliance. Who else could insert... a... pause... between... each... word... in... such... a... meaningful... way...? Sheer genius!

Seeing as you've been shitting all over everyone's dinner, I hesitate to ask what you think would make one, copraphage. Also, seeing as we ran Frenchie* off a few pages back, I don't think anyone left gets to complain about misplaced Gallicisms.
Of course, I've yet to hear any real bon mots from anyone either, so we can't talk about well-placed Gallicisms.
*Well, and EtaEvo, but he always breaks the left-hand alignment, so good riddance to him.
**Oh, and BS, Syllie's still waiting. I'm having to listen to his bad love "poetry." Just take one for the team and show off the girls so I don't have to hear him keep trying to rhyme "lady" with "baby."

Pardon another comment about the standard of English used here but surely if your grandma's rather poorly I would think insensitive would be the last term to describe her - perhaps you meant insensible.
It really would make life a lot easier if people here were more precise about their meanings and didn't burden me with having to correct them all the time!

Listen here, Miss Æbleskiver, wait, Æbleskiver? That is like a second-rate doughnut, a third-rate beignet. They don't even come with chocolate! A proper beignet, hot and drizzled with chocolate, mmmmmmmm heaven. Anyhow, how did you get to be Miss Æbleskiver in the first? Enter a sexist contest, did you? Parade around in an indecent swim costume, tell the judges your favourite vegetable is the banana, and "I wish for world peas, even though I do not care for peas in general, except for grandmum's mushy peas, 'cause she put sugar on them for me, 'cause I don't like peas. But world peas is good, everyone says, so that is what I wish for." What was your talent, pray tell? Juggling Æbleskivers and playing the nose flute whilst riding a unicycle? Actually that takes a lot of coordination, but that is not the Point! The point is you are setting women back years just so you can win a few quid and a lifetime supply of Æbleskivers. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

May you be forgiven, Miss Horny, for your cultural and gastronomic ignorance. Whilst appreciating your belated recognition of my humble (note irony) existence, was it really necessary to denigrate one of the taste sensations of the western world? Has a lifetime of world weary grass so blunted your perceptions that you can only feel your taste buds tingle when the sheer vlugarity of chocolate smothered blinys are on offer? Get back to your thistle strewn paddock and eat thorns.
As for needing to compete - please don't assume that we are all like you. Brown nosing judges, or anyone else, for that matter, has never been a pastime of mine. But then, you've got the nose for it.

That was deliberate. That was unforgiveable! That was so way, waay, way over the top - drawing attention to Starbug's alleged thoughtlessness. Isn't it a central tenet of the ship that shippies are thoughtful until proved otherwise?

Hi guys! I'm back! Smarting from some of the acerbic critique aimed at me by the obviously challenged (though not auricularly) Psychobunny (NOT).
What truly astounds me is the sheer amount of free time at your disposal to contribute so much (quantitively, not qualitatively) to the thread. Are any of you making a valid contribution to society? (Note to Big Ears, coffee consumption does not count) Is this what I pay my taxes for? Has this thread now become occupational therapy for the distressed and deranged?

No, no you do not. If you knew what that foot has been... <shudder> Were it just a foul, unwashed, thoroughly stanky foot, {and it is all of that) it would be awful enough. However the things she does with it, the places she puts it, the people, nay creatures, who allow her to do so...It makes the skin crawl, the eyes cease to function, the nostrils seal themselves shut. I will no longer stomach her within a 2 miles of me. You will think I exaggerate, as indeed I did before I saw. Oh gods, what I saw. I was blind from shock for nearly a week after.
Lucky rabbits foot? Lucky to never encounter it.

Giant clown shoes and Host Fez ON, mothafuckas!
That's IT. NO MORE. Hornskull and Flopsy, just get a room and do the deed already, okay? Same goes for you, Syllie, and . . . well, everyone.
This thread has been a disgrace, a violation of every single damn commandment we could have come up with—especially, Horny One, number six. This has gone on long enough; I rather suspect I'll have to get the admins involved to clean up the mess. Even with my abuse of host powers, I can't finish this one off.
You lot are an utter disgrace. All the offensive insults, all the awful puns, all that flirting—"and then they all fucked" is probably going to be the epitaph in Limbo for this one.
Shame on all of you, and good riddance.
