En Passant

Zorders goes awol for a few days and people who appreciate a good slanging match grow restless. There's a natural order to it.

This is not as wacky as at first it might appear, Dickinson is a polymath and amonst other talents is a qualified commercial pilot and even had a job as one concurrently with his "daytime" occupation. He is also an accomplished fencer (the sport with pointy swords, not building barriers round gardens, though he could probably do that better than me...). Speaking as someone who has no talent for even one thing, this guy is actually quite annoying.

It's all in the Michael Jackson thread, which has hitherto proved adequate for discussing members and associates of the Jackson family. I saw it, but thought it was irrelevant, she just changed the dates, like Rihanna from Feb to March Toast...who cares? Why are people in here always so sarcastic? I don't get it.... Honest answer? Because you are a classic example of the pushy newbie who thinks they are the first person to come up with topics and ideas that have already been covered. Have some respect for the forum. Do some in-depth browsing and actually bother to read what has already been said on these topics. If you can't manage that, fuck off. I won't go anywhere and I'll behave how I want to behave and read what I want to read, no one's forcing you to read my topicstoast just got toasted lol rekt lolololololo lmfao lololo wwjd. YCFOAWYLW Normally I have trouble with acronyms i've not seen before, in this case however, it just leapt right out at me

You've missed out... I probably would enjoy them but we all have our prejudices and for me it's militant vegetarions/vegans and I just can't get past that enough to actually listen to the Smiths. A militant non-meat eating variation of Captain Scarlets nemesis? Sorry, sometimes I just cannot help myself.

just imagine the meal hes going to get as his last one? going to cost a fortune! everythings bigger in texas right? even the steak The steak size in Texas I can confirm as being lunatic compared at least with the UK. There was a 'cowgirl' steak of 20oz, and a 'cowboy' steak of 28oz on a menu in one establishment. Who needs the death penalty when you can be served a cholesterol heart attack in one sitting?

What kind of sick fucks would do that? I masterbates in locations where famous people died. If you can't spell it you probably shouldn't be doing it. Be reasonable. Consider:- Breathe, drink, eat.... Even if the latter two are achievable the first is bound to kill him.

Oh I have Prefer this slightly er, snappier(?) version. Sends shivers down my spine so it does.

Well in this case it was more of him taking out his grievances on his ex-wife as she was able to get over their relationship and he obviously wasn't. So while she was holding a party (and jumping the bones of her new beau), he decided he'd kill them. Would he be a threat to anyone else? Probably not as he had killed the target of his rage. Would he have the need for anger therapy? The answer would probably be yes. There's always somebody pissed off about something in these occurences. Ex partners, the school system, the neighbours barking dog, parking in my space, you name it.... Exactly what grievance and with whom is largely immaterial, it's the statistics of it. Enough people with enough grievances and access to firearms and guess what happens? Oh ya, exactly what does happen.

Alcohol and guns, what could possibly go wrong? ATF isn't supposed to be a mission statement afaik....

If you are so concerned about your 'goddamn' tax dollars, spend a few of them fighting the NRA and trying to change your daft 2nd amendment such that drunken bums at parties can't go on shooting sprees in the first place (or disaffected students can't or.... etc etc). I can very well imagine it's not impossible to kill a bunch of people whilst stumbling around with a machete if one were determined enough and of a certain persuasion in the first place, but I'm willing to wager theres a lot less people with the cohones for that after one beer too many than with a gun.

Neither particularly original nor my own work. However a repeat airing seems appropriate. A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: ----------------------- 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ------------------- 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). --------------------- 12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. -------------------- 13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. ----------------- 14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). --------------- 15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God Save the Queen!

In poor taste? Probably. Couldn't suppress a sN-word though, and that's despite the fact i know so little about football I don't know who any of these players actually are.

Mitch Clifflemouse, just to be left field and flying solo. So far.....

He doesn't look ill, he just looks like his face is melting, and he's had that terrible affliction since he was born. Quite, gives us non Clooney (insert choice of whoever) lookalikes the pleasure of saying to ourselves - "Well, at least I don't look like Andrew Lloyd Webber".

Biggest miss? The point.

$he mu$t be deeply and madly in love with him to marry in flat shoes http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/rupert-murdoch-marries-jerry-hall-7494425 $$$ Whatever the other selection of reasons may be, I somewhat doubt that deep, mad, abiding, requited, unrequited, or any other kind of love is anywhere near the top of the list for either party.

To be fair, some of SC's stuff is informative, even on occasion amusing (I'm aware that this is often 'in the eye of the beholder') the problem for me is wading through the rest of it, the man has single-handedly got me to reach for the 'mark all as read' button for the first time on this forum .

Same as soy sauce. Learn something every day.

Ok, shopping note fine then, but wtf is soya sauce?

He can't possibly carrion, he's dead. Too much time on my hands today it seems, sorry about that.

I don't care how high you are, this is still stupid. Everyone knows Morgoth drives an Audi. I tried something along those lines, but I couldn't make it work with a Mercedes. BTW, Dutch men who drive BMW invariably behave like orcs. Anyone who drives a BMW behaves like an orc, it's been scientifically proven so it must be true. I should know, I've had 2 of the things, I drove like an orc. QED.

Batandball Adultdeity.

Love how that link thoughtfully supplies a list of rhymes for 'boner'. And good to see that 'moaner' is one of them. heh, if i hadn't already used up my poetic licence for probably the next 2 months, I'd have a play with that .....

Aye, disclosed or datclosed? It's a dilemma and no mistake. probably a good time for me to watch some tv and quit posting shyte....

I don't think it was meant that way either when written. In fact I think the crude reference was american in origin but came into usage somewhat later than that publication. But hey, there's no fun in that. Checked, apparently both are North American in origin, with "stupid mistake" coming some while before "erection". This is one definition.
