Sorry, I sometimes have difficulty picking up the SofF tone and comprehending the SofF culture. What I WANTED to say was:

You had me going for a minute, Below the Lansker. I actually imagined, when you showed up univited at my front door, flashing your indecipherable I.D., that you might be an agent of the Higher Ups (the ones who know the Unwritten Laws around here, which have precious little to do with the Ten Commandments that they keep telling us to read).

That bedraggled trench coat and battered trilby should have warned me. Now I see you for what you are, a pretentious thug trying to intimidate me while pretending to be my friend. Good Cop/ Bad Cop all in one.

I strain for invective susfficient to put you in your place.

Here goes: I am ... VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!

roybart, you really must learn to trust your gut instincts - if an agent of the Higher-ups is what you think I am, then an agent of the Higher-ups is what I am. Indeed, I do not know the Unwritten laws, I am the Unwritten Law - that of good breeding, impeccable taste, correct grammar and perfect typing (unlike Cuddle-Bunny - 'you can borrow my axe is you wish' - I mean, come on). You see those grey letters under her name - ADMIN? They were paid for - it's the elephant in the room - no-one talks about it, but we all know it's there all the same.

Isn't that just negativist. Why should the negative particles get all the attention. Here are the protons sending out positive vibes to us all, and do they get any love and attention for it? Any respect? Not at all. As usual the grease is applied to the squeaky wheel not to the most deserving.

BtheL, I'm getting concerned. You don't think that that old Messiah complex might be coming back, do you? Have you stopped taking your meds? All this harping about being "good," I mean. We've been there before. Next thing you know you'll be back to referring to yourself as "Above the Lansker" and even (I remember THAT sad day quite well) "W-A-Y above the Lansker." BtL, no one knows what the blazes a Lansker is. We don't even care. We just want you to return to being your sweet old humble self.

I'm fed up with this ignorance posing as reverse snobbery. So you think you object to Baroque music? I doubt you know enough about it to object to it. The Messiah isn't Bach (note spelled correctly with an h, not a k). And is it too complex for you? Just because you can't handel counterpoint doesn't give you the right to tell other people they may not either.

Dear Dafyd,
I must tell you that it offends me to see your reverse snobbery posing as ignorance. Your musical allusions are meant to create the illusion of culture, while you sit up there in Scotland with your haggis and scotch, taking potshots at the rest of us, who struggle to make sense of BtL, Ariston, and even that bloody bunny and the pingu.

I don't know what-the-heck any of you (supposedly high-class) drones are talking about. A BtL (BLT) is a bacon/lettuce/tomato sandwich. Bagpipery, don't forget, was originally intended to frighten the enemy into either running away, or surrendering with their thumbs in their ears, saying "Please God, make it stop"

The whole lot of you just make up The Truth as you go along. Pitiful.

I really couldn't have expressed it better myself, although I doubt the originator of this particular pearl of wisdom was aware of just how supremely apt these words are, coming as they do at the end of a very turgid and rambling post. Do we really need to be reminded of bacon sarnies and bagpipes, and are we of such low intellectual calibre that we need their full meaning to be explained as if to babes in arms? Well, a few of the less gifted amongst us may need it all to be spelled out (with pictures too for Bun-Buns and Tweetie), but speaking for myself, I can do without the condescension, Pearlie.

Mmmm, good thick slices of back bacon with butter on a nice crusty baguette and maybe a bit of brown sauce...I MEAN, um, how dare you distract me with visions of sandwiches at dinnertime, especially since they don't have back bacon here! Have you no shame? Do you rejoice in the misfortune of others? Have you never heard of empathy, and that it's best shared by mailing board moderators bottles of HP Sauce and IRN-BRU?

I protest at you stigmatising non-human animals by using the word 'brute' as an insult. Do non-human animals become investment bankers? No, they do not. And yet you're concerned that babies don't have arms. Why shouldn't the non-human animals have arms? You heard the slogan here first - Guns for sheep! Guns for gnus!

There you go again, Sir Kevin. Blathering on and on and on about killing animals and eating their flesh. Is there nothing on God's good earth that will not make you obsess about biting into rank, blood-soaked meat? I agree with Dafyd, who rightly protests the homo sapiens and carnivore biases on this thread. (And don't think I didn't notice your fawning reference to Tesco. Are you on their payroll, or what?)

roybart, I hope you haven't tired yourself out by jumping to conclusions the way you do. It was clear from Sir Kevin's post that he was lopping off branches of the Tesco tree (thereby dis-arming them), I suppose in an attempt to add fiber to his diet. I know it sounds strange, but Sir Kevin lives in a place where strange things happen every day.

There are some that I dare not contemplate much less type. Some that would shock even the libidinous, hedonistic, maniacal, deviant, fog soaked kharagōśa.

This part, I can describe. But as to why the elephant was terrified....... shudder

" fog-soaked kharagōśa." How poetic.

Once again, the thread is sidetracked with your your lurid lucid dreaming-- apparently peyote-fueled, from the look of things.

Look, I told you before-- that summer in Belize will always be enshrined in my memory, but a couple of margaritas and a coconut oil rubdown is nothing on which to base a lingering infatuation. It's time to move on, sweetheart.

I had heard* the code of the asylum was to look after each other! Yet you permit sandwich boy to wander unsupervised. Come get your cell, erm, roommate.


*at least this is what Ariston says. I tell him to keep his "poetry" in his head, but noOOooo, he thinks the world needs to hear it. Then he is hauled to the psychiatrist for evaluation, hooked up for shock therapy and, oh wait, he does it a purpose,** doesn't he? He likes the shock therapy.

** to clarify, his ramblings are insane. However, it seems his forebrain is developed just enough to connect the public recitation with the electrodes.

[Projectile] Do we really need this sort of talk on a Christian messageboard? And on a Sunday? I know Buddsy has a penchant for what is known as "dirty talk", but dear Wodders, you do lil Horny no favours by pandering to the lower nature. Remember that some of us have higher standards and strive to keep our minds out of the gutter.

Oh. My. God.

The lazy, half-hearted, half-assed attempts at offense on this thread are killing me. We have standards to uphold. We have rhetorical magic to conjure. People are waiting anxiously for their bosses to leave the cubicle so they can click on this thread and see what genius we have produced.
CRICKETS???!!! Jesus H. Pedro in a hopped up Chrysler.

I mean it's not like you're the worst offender, LilBrat, but man, that was the last straw. Amp it up, people! If I wanted to piss around with one word sentences, I would be on the Mornington Crescent thread right now.

Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

You dare compare that random word generation thread with this one!
Even the most low of us, pardon BtL, can muster better than that Alzheimer's delight of a thread.
You want creation, give me better materials to work with.

Only God creates. To claim the word 'creation' for the pitiful artistic attempts of mortals is blasphemous idolatry. And even worse, you use the word for Michelangelo the apotheosis of decadent Western Roman Catholic painting. The only true art is when a holy Orthodox monk dedicates himself to icon painting only picking up his pen to make each separate brush stroke after a year of prayer and fasting.

Dafyd, I respectfully suggest that you emulate that excellent Orthodox monk you refer to -- moving slowly, thoughtfully, with extreme care, and with a concern for truth. In other words, don't jump so impulsively into topics you know nothing about. "Only God creates," indeed! This is confuted definitively in Jer 18:3. But perhaps you are one of those who doesn't "like" Jeremiah. Or, worse, has never heard of him.

That's right - import that facebook* rubbish onto this high quality website and lower the tone!

*I have heard rumours that "like" is a facebook "thing" - not that I ever frequent social networking sites like that. The Ship is the only one for me.

Lower the tone!

Of all people who might talk about lowering the tone I never, ever thought that you would have the nerve!

I won that once and I used three-word sentences!

Kev, mate, a word to the wise. Boasting of your purported success on other less worthy threads in the Circus will not cut the mustard here. You are now among the creme de la creme. I acknowledge that it is highly tempting to take up the cudgels (or even the baseball bat) where Psycho-bunny is concerned, but let's face it, if we all spent our time pointing out her mistakes and gently putting her right, we would have precious little time to spend on more important matters. Admittedly, correcting her egregious errors whilst simultaneously pointing out your own superiority is, in a sense, quite smart, but I think you'll find that the more seasoned participants in this thread are on to your shabby stratagems.

Look, Bunnymocking isn't fair. It isn't witty. It's not even hard. It's like kicking cute little puppies or setting fire to busloads of nuns—you know they're not going to fight back, so after a while, it just becomes dull, something you do out of habit more than because you still enjoy it. So let those of us whose appointed cross it is continue to bear it and drain our ink pointing out her faults (tsk tsk, you've let your axe go dull again), but only because Somebody's Got To Do It.

Our job. Not yours. Got it, delidweller?
