I have offered the requisite sacrifice of rouge, mismatched clothing and over-large shoes to our dear hosts and received permission to revive this monster. At least, I think it was permission. I did address the request to Ariston and, well, the reply was as coherent as he was able to manage. So I shall interpret it as permission.
The rules, hmmm.
  • take offence at something the previous poster wrote
  • add some meat for the next poster
  • keep the offence within the thread
  • be creative (at least occasionally and to the best of your, cough, ability)
  • Don't actually be mean, keep to within the tolerance of the target as best you can*
Punishment for failing to adhere to the rules will result in the perpetrator being required to listen to our resident clown/philosopher give his dissertation on the meaning of life. Bless his heart.


*And the targets abilities to respond. For example, when addressing Ariston, use small words and easy refrences.

Really now, I don't think I even have time to deal with that train wreck of an opening post. This is a thread much beloved of our community, one that has given us endless hours of polishing our abilities to give fraternal correction in Christian Love,™ and you sully it with a feeble and febrile attempt at "writing" like that? For Shame! I really see that it falls to me to maintain some semblance of decency and standards around this place.

And seriously, what's with that half-page long title? You do realize we're all going to have to look at it on the front page every time somebody visits these boards, right? I think it'll take the creaking UBB software and extra 13 processing cycles it doesn't have to spare just to figure out how to spell that monstrosity. Come now. Have some consideration for others.

You keep your crumbs under the carpet? Not on top, where they can occasionally be vacuumed up, but beneath, where they solidify into a layer of mould whose spores are even now seeding allergies across entire counties.

You really are quite heartless.
Now I am going to have to get out of bed and go in the kitchen.
I was sitting here quite nicely, keeping my poor duvet company (it has a tendency to get very lonely when I'm out at w*rk), and managing to forego my morning cup of coffee until the Smudgelet gets up, and you have to mention hot buttered toast.
Malicious, that was.

And as for using the v***um word on a Sunday, (or any day at all, for that matter) well, the less said about that the better. [Disappointed]

Firenze, shame on you! To pick on the poor, hapless pingu! She does not have poor housekeeping skills as much as she has none at all. Not her fault, still hasn't adjusted from life on the ice floes to a proper* home. As a bird, she has other challenges. Most are not known for their cerebral prowess.**
And it is a lesser-known fact that penguins not only eat fish, but drink like them. The detritus you found was not mould from bread or biscuit, but, well, you may fill in the blank here.


*For certain values of proper.
**And here I have a dilemma; by using large words, we can avoid generating recognition of disparagement. However, this is the Circus and we do not wish it's "Hosts"*** to be out of the loop, comprehension-wise.
***Though this may be akin to calling residents of Bethlem "doctors"

And I think you could at least learn to type in proper sentences, you dim bird. Surely even hunt and peck shouldn't be beyond the ability of a beast with a beak? Are nouns in the accusitive case cold-sensitive? Does international law prohibit the use of direct objects south of Van Diemen's Land? Would it really be too much trouble to add in an additional noun?

No, no it wouldn't. Do try to keep up, please.

There's an ongoing thread in purgatory debating the very existence of Moses, with multiple participants and lengthy, well-reasoned posts on both sides of the issue. And yet, you, Woderick, just come into the Circus and with one sweeping allusion claim to have solved the whole riddle?

Any other long-standing, complex debates you wish to settle with a snap of your proverbial fingers?

Beyond reproach, huh? Really? You think of all the people who frequent this site, none of them is capable of finding a single thing to reproach you for? (I don't mean myself, of course. I'm beyond reproaching others. But I will gladly take offense on their behalf.)

And the Penguin isn't entirely beyond approach; some brave souls do make excursions to the South Pole.

The designation of Antarctica as the South Pole and its consequent positioning at the bottom of the map is a well-known neo-colonialist tool of oppression. Why shouldn't the Arctic be considered the South Pole, so that the oppressed nations, ground below the heel of the US military-industrial capitalist hegemony, of Australia and New Zealand are represented at the top of the map as is their right?

Speaking as someone who is completely sound in the Canticles, may I express outrage on behalf of the silent MORAL majority of users of this board? The vile innuendi and dubious double-entendres perpetrated by someone who describes herself as 'completely frocked' leave me almost (but not quite) speechless.

What we owe to the Older generations? We should be thanking them for inspiring adverts to stiffen the drooping parts, loosening up the stiff parts, unstopping the stopped up parts or stemming the flow?
Are we to thank them for constantly reminding us of what we ought be thanking them?
Or for being an ever-present reminder of how soon we must ready our coin for Charon's river crossing?

Thank you ever so much.

Looking at your drooping, stiff, stopped up and free-flowing parts, LB, I would be grateful if you stopped being quite so proud and started showing sufficient gratitude to those who advertise cures for these unslightly and, to be honest, somewhat unsavoury traits and actually get yourself out there and buy some.

Listen Smudgie, if we didn't have LAWYERS, would anyone be there to defend the innocent British badgers from their impending gassing and shootings, would there have been Nelson Mandela and, dare I say, even Mother Theresa, without the services of a good honest plucky attorney? I don't think so! So when people start talk about NOT being lawyers, just thank your lucky stars you're never on Columbo or one of those American court-room dramas, or you'd become a sold-out Robin Reliant-style three-wheeled conveyance with wigs and gowns, hammering a gavel in your sleep against a writ...

(aside to Gwai) I guess we just don't rate. I guess yummypuk feels like he can just pick or choose who he responds to on this thread, rules be damned. I guess noticing the presence of such pariah as us would fatally cripple his prestige. Seriously, someone needs to get off his high horse.

(aside to Kelly) Look, if my stupid computer had actually bothered to respond and the delete facility had worked when I'd have gladly deleted the deletable <expletive deleted> [Biased]

Addendum to the rules: When a post is so utterly devoid of any redeeming quality, one may ignore the post and focus on a previous post.
On further review, this would disallow most of you, so I suppose we must respond.
Yam-pk, A computer cannot be smart. They are not (yet) truly thinking beings. A computer cannot, therefore, be dumb. The second statement leads me to conclude, despite the gibberish you post, you are indeed human. Or some semblance thereof.

Translation of addendum: I am too lazy/ inept to come up with a viable response to Kelly's perfectly adequate, if not brilliant one-liner, therefore I will find an easier target.

Pitiable, really. If it weren't so offensive.

So Buddsy gets to add to the rules on a whim? Is this prerogative reserved exclusively to the horny originator of the thread or is this a democracy? Do we or do we not have equal rights in this game?

But at least I think I'm getting the hang of the hidden rules now ... like how we all ignore PsychoBunny's posts.

See, you think you are insulting me, but if you ignore my posts, I get to say stuff like "Below the Lansker is a sock-sniffing suppository-eater with an IQ hovering below room temperature" and get away with it.

But I wouldn't say anything like that, because I am a decent human being, which makes me an anomaly on this thread.

How can you joke about ignoring posts when the Royal Mail is about to be privatised? When posties are worrying about their jobs and the future of daily universal delivery in this country are hanging in the wind, I find your talk of ignoring them quite tasteless.

Sandwich Boy, you* are sooo adorable when you are being so naive!

This site is an organic democracy which is ruled to benefit the rabble as the rabble are not qualified to rule itself. Well, this is the sub-basement of the ship's insane asylum. (AKA, The Circus) As it is run by those voted Most Likely To Need Restraints, I am not sure the word rules fits vary well. Hmmmm, when the PTB make Bunny Foo Foo an ADMIN, perhaps the sanity is not a strong point of any of the lot.


*"you" being a general term for people, not you in specific, because, well, ewww!


Apologies, Dafyd, for inadvertently ignoring your post.

I am totally offended by the suggestion that I am likely to need restraint.

I already have plenty of restraint.

Though the straps do allow me just enough range of movement to see the screen and move my fingers on the keyboard so thoughtfully positioned just within my reach.
