Weasel, I am shocked that you talk in such a way, demeaning our beloved wabbit and suggesting there is nothing strong about her. She may not look strong but she certainly smells it.. Is that what I meant to say?
Regardless, please show dear Kelly a little more respect. Were you never raised to respect your elders and betters?

Now I am offended.
How do you know that I didn't pause for thought before decisively choosing to make a comment about wabbits, regardless of the sensitivities of those who misspent their youth ignoring the influence of Elmer Fudd? Look at the time difference between the two posts. I spent plenty of time pausing for thought, thank you very much. Unlike some people I could mention who dash in to take random offense with no thought at all other than beating others to it.

I am muchly offended that you force me to point out the obvious, dear:
There is nothing to suggest "normal" and "we" go together in your mouth. If in doubt, please feel free to borrow my pocket mirror: You have no hair. Christian mercy (yes, tiaCw) forbids me to say more.

Cry you a river?
Don't you know there's a drought in this country?
If I could cry a river, I would - it would be my Christian Duty and a Very Good Thing. It'd mean I could stop sharing my bath water with the entire street and could use a hosepipe to wash the Smudgemobie rather than simply spitting on it and rubbing with my hanky.
So it is downright cruel and offensive of you to suggest that such a thing might be within my capabilities - with the implied insult that I am too mean with my tears to do so.

Are we supposed not to notice that crocodiles, unlike penguins, are found in North Africa, and therefore negative references to crocodiles are clearly jabs at the Arab Spring and the democracy movement there? Are we supposed to let this subtle propaganda for dictatorship pass uncommented upon?

I have never seen Dafyd's hobby horse, but apparently you have. I happen to be rather partial to them. What colour is it? Does it have a fluffy mane and sparkling glass eyes? How dare you imply he should stop riding it when some of us haven't caught a glimpse yet.

I think it is bad form for the shipmate to own a horse. They should be allowed, instead, to roam free and happy across the valleys, mountains and plains, instead of being cooped up in pens and suchlike.
How cruel.

So Hedge--while you are rambling on about dis-utopia, you should have been offended, as I was, by Rowan's poor use of the English language. It's clear from his words that he wants the shipmates to roam free, he doesn't give a damn about the horses!

Wodders, your equation of clear with correct English is offensively facile. The clearest English is not necessarily correct.
Ask any writer. For example - how would you indicate, in writing, an upward inflection at the end of a spoken statement? Most effectively, and clearly, with a grammatically-incorrect question mark or query as in: 'He was so weird?'

How I wish that hands and fingers were to cover the full extent of your shortcomings! I'll forgo the opportunity to mention the others, some for reasons of Christian mercy and the rest because of male chivalry.
I do wonder, though, seeing you have no hands what you'd do with umbrage in the unlikely event that you'd manage to grab some.

How offensive that you extend Christian mercy to only some of Smudgie's shortcomings. Christian mercy embraces all. Male chivalry, as perhaps your post concedes but if not, I have to tell you, is applied somewhat patchily. Typically to someone more alluring to the masculine eye than a penguin.
