Smack's 50th birthday

That's about the best noun/adjective/verb transform I've seen.
Agree with the sentiment, I tried but you did it better.
Onya Betty.

 

Is there something going on here that I'm missing or are you and George
talking about me?!!?
Fire, brimstone, testosterone, hostility?!!?
What on earth have I posted that has earned that? Shit; I've hardly posted
much at all and apart for rousing on Kev for reposting hysterical crap I've
hardly said boo to a goose.
What's going on?

 

No; but your tying it to Smack's party most certainly is!

What's it matter anyway? It was a simple (and quite accurate) observation.
Why have you got your panties in a knot over it?

 

[chortle] You really are determined to look as stupid as possible over this
aren't you George?

For someone who doesn't say boo to a goose, you sure have a lot to
say.

The accuracy of your obversation is only a figment in your own imagination

 

Ah, good then. Situation normal and noone's actually cross. From here
it seemed like a few people were getting a bit hot under the collar. Phew.


relieved betty, as she was

 

The original reads as follows

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

The bit under "Nicoll events" is very funny and worth a read - He's rather
prone to accidents.

 

Good on you dickhead. You've gone and ruined the surprise for Smack's
2nd surprise 50th birthday party. What an old prick.

 

Thanks Marty. Now can we give it a rest

 

Haha - I reckon she's been writing speeches for Kevin Rudd.

 

Yeah - I know, get me a job and I won't have the time to read every
thread

I'm somewhat disappointed that a thread that was about a damn good
night has degenerated into a bitch-fight. Seems to be the nature of
the interwebs these days.

 

That's what I was blathering on about last night! (But Clem thought I
might've been having a go at him... I've finally figured out why he
might think that - I was actually having a go at ALL the people who've
been getting shitty with each other (but I suspect Clem has most of
them in his killfile, which is why he thought I was having a go at
HIM! He hasn't seen the other posts!) Clem, would I do such a thing to
you? (psssst - the answer is 'no'...)
