You're our kind of girl, all right. Though, I think having that bloke doing ironing is just a waste; and the wind up in the back might interfer with his best position...I think I'd add alittle hair on the head and take off about 5 years; but that's just personal taste..Quote:

Hmmm, that's rather....interesting. If you post to forums and tweet while still drunk the good thing is that you can remember it better the following morning. The bad thing is that you can remember it better the following morning and that apparently, others can too.

Here are the vacuum tubes I promised you…

Remember these glowing beacons of radiation humming in unison drawing us toward the idiot box through hypnotic effect?
Claude Frollo boldly proclaimed it was the book that killed the edifice. And while the book brought peril to 15th century gothic architecture, it is Gilliatt’s contention that the vacuum tube killed the intellect!
An entire generation allowed Hugo, Plato, Seuss and Cervantes to fall from their laps. Eyes shunned the printed word, now transfixed on the glow emanating from vacuum tubes and CRT’s. Enough heat was generated to keep a roast warm! And remember the radiation threats?
I still recall mother shouting: Gilliatt and Deruchette how many times have I told you not to sit too close to the Zenith, or you’ll get radiation. Now get back to your TV trays where you will find a piping hot Swanson’s.
See, it’s your favorite, the three course turkey dinner! Yummy yum yum…

Tell me children, what are the magical tubes bringing us tonight…?
Ahh yes… a couple of classics:

Poetry recital (Allen Ginsberg - eat your heart out)
If you look carefully, you’ll see Paulclem and family:

Those are some great tv moments: I didn't realize they had swanson with soup. I used to think tv dinners were a real treat along with a coke from a glass bottle and a hershey bar. Do you remember "pee wee" drinks ; they were in flavors like cherry and grape. Oh, and 7-up bars, a candy with 7 fillings in one bar...
I loved Mr Ed and the Munsters...

Boy, does that bring memories as well.
Bastardising French and English was an immediate caning 40 years ago.
Ah, what a thread. Nostalgia, bad French and cold ale. Can't be many better combos than that!
It is amusing to see what types of advertisments will appear. As of this moment I am getting "American Public University" adds. How do you suppose the powers that be working behind the curtains associated higher education with this thread?Quote:

I would feel a bit more at ease with a .22 at 3,000 meters.
Ok...maybe 30 meters.

As well as the taste of duck a l'orange!
I shall be taking down my Webley and Scott to have a rabbit lessening session very soon.
That's a strange thing - when I'm drunk I'm convinced that my English, German, French, Esperanto, Russian, Finnish, Italian, Spanish, Latin and Icelandic are all perfect, despite the fact that I've never studied some of them more than a few hours, but then again...Quote:

Now rabbit shooting is a great sport, and one which I insist on still doing - rabbits are noxious pests.Quote:

I came back early from work and now I'm drunk. Blame it on Pessoa and his depressing book. Je suis fou! Who's talking about guns here? Please no .22! Let's go to the range with 30-06, alright? No bunnies, no bunnies! Inanimate targets are more than enough, though I have killed some vermin in my darker years.
@Tal, a woman awoke from coma and started talking in Chinese. I think you're onto something.
@everyone: appreciate the Greek riot-dog: http://www.thisblogrules.com/2010/03...or-years.html/
He's a darling!
Hell, this could get to be a tradition - the last bastion of the internet; somewhere to post while drunk!Quote:
