in eternum+

I think I dated him once. Definitely .4 of a shag.

Trust me, trying to produce that extra .3 of a post each day is not easy. Kind of like trying to produce the .4 of 2.4 children?

Aw crap, it didn't work! I'm not very good with the whole 'font' thing. Please imagine dramatic emphasis of post above... I was questioning neither your age nor your nubility, merely using a perfectly acceptable term of endearment, which, after your use of similar seemed appropriate. Yours Sincerely, Claude Oh darling, let's not argue. As long as you die next and prove me right, you can call me whatever you like.

Don't say that. You'll only get them started. I am nubile = Bum in a lei which leads to quite a different mental picture, although; Nubile = In lube. u inert men! Touche old thing! NUBILE!!

Further to this, is there somewhere on the site a list of these rules? Or are they just arbitrarily made up? Or are they unwritten rules? In which case, who decides what these rules are (besides the adminers, of course!)? Or do these rules date back to long before any of our time, and so are sacred? And leading on from that, are there still any member from when the DL very first started? Phew... Come on lads and ladettes! Who's going to impress us with their vast knowledge and expertise of the site?

Happy Birthday! I hope raucous celebrations ensue.

Easy Old Girl! Am young an nubile dammit!

They also failed to mention handrejka and in eternum+. Yes I am a lady (soz for the delay - I was on hols when this thread started). But I am not old, I am nubile.

Well, what was their verdict? Anyone on our list?

Anybody watch the C5 programme about premature burial that was just on? Apparently, some woman who is narcoleptic cataplectic has been pronounced dead three times in her life, taken to the morgue etc., only to force herself to wake up at the last moment, before she was buried alive. As all good things come in 3s, I reckon her good fortune is up, and she may therefore not be as lucky after her next attack. (Her last serious attack, according to the programme, was in the 70s so she's probably due another one soon). Famous enough? She's now starred in her very own C5 programme, and is probably the only woman who can be known for dying at least three times. This does not contravene the DL rule about being famous exclusively for being ill; I guess she'd be famous for being dead - repeatedly! She may well be a promising candidate for next year. BTW - according to the programme, at least 4% of WWII US soldiers were buried alive; that's 6,000 minimum. Of course, there's no actual proof of this, but if it's on TV it must be true. The US really haven't been doing very well lately, have they??

I didn't get a private message. B*stard... Neither did I How on earth can he find your place of employment??? Has he psychic powers or perhaps he is the devil in disguise If you're unemployed, does he just show up at your house? No, that's the DSS's job! Hm... not sure which is worse...

Well, according to the experts, this is urban myth and does not actually happen. Much to the disappointment of the Six Feet Under writers, I'm sure. Not sure what I want to happen to my body when I'm finished with it; maybe something like this.

Claude! Claude! Claude! Claude! Claude! Claude!

Isn't that four words?

In the far western and remote land of Devon we don't have Channel 5 either. It only bothers me when there is nothing else on the other 4 channels and I can't get to watch "The World's Greatest Police Chases" At least Channel 4 can be trusted to bring you such quality programmes as "101 Things to do with a Corpse".

Well, channel 5 isn't really known for it's quality programming... Various tidbits gleaned from this programme include: "The reaction of any normal person to finding themselves in close proximity to dead bodies is to be shocked." and the alleged 'fact' that hair doesn't grow after death, the skin retracts due to loss of water content and finally there was an 'expert' who stated that proof of premature burial, such as scratch marks on the inside of the coffin, wasn't proof at all. Those scratch marks are actually caused by the gasses in the organs exploding and spewing corrosive juice everywhere. Not sure what to make of the above 'facts'. Of the experts interviewed on the programme, one was wearing a bow tie, and the other was named Dr Dribble. Still, I'm into the woman who has died three times...

Of course, having said that, I still don't think the US government's supremely shoddy reaction to the situation is excusable. But then... any excuse to critise George W is excuse-enough for me...

What a load of crap. I thought this was going to seriously get stuck in. Imagine my disappointment, after reading all the disclaimers, to find how easy (s)he took things with that laid back kind of attitude. I know it's all opinion, but come on, surely (s)he can do better than that? Typhoid, can you pass the message on to ask her/him to give it some more oomph and have another go? How about mentioning something about social fabric crumbling at the first sign of hardship? How about the role that freely available guns and their use/abuse have played in this? How about "citizens" sniping at rescue workers and hospitals, and what this says about the US psyche? Come on, there's so much more (s)he could have said after such a good start with the "Warnings." Don't let 'em go to waste! I agree with both honez and TH's anonymous friend. It's like people who live on fault lines, and then complain when there are earthquakes.

I'd like it to be Claude Levi-Strauss, predominantly because I actually thought he was already dead, until I saw his name on the DL when I first joined. This way, I might save a tiny bit of face.

It's their Forum, if they want to chuck you out there's not much you can do. Why are you so keen to rejoin these obssesives. makes you seem like an obssesive. Windsor, I don't think tha trying to battle against fascist dictators makes you an obsessive - well done! Down with opression!!

Fantastic! Looks like this year's list isn't going to end up being a complete washout as some have predicted after all. Go team!
