The Peng Challenge: Thread Blunder

Its Aussie Speak for making a copy of.

Did you get paid to kill her or were you just angry?

With the noises she used to make you'd think I was killing her...

[PanzerMike]

I guess it's only natural that a place full of old farts smells like this. But I am fond of old farts, even of that venerable fartmeister Emrys. I mean, what would the world be without smelly old farts? A piss poor place I say.

Hairy old men on the other hand...

Talking of hairy old men, here is one:

You guess were all the hair grows (hint: not on the head)...

[sburke]

With the noises she used to make you'd think I was killing her...

She hated you touching her that bad eh, why am I not surprised.

[Michael Emrys]

...I was knocking off the bouncer's wife at the time.

Is that why your nose is on sideways? I've always wondered but was too polite to ask.

I never want to find out but I would vote for throwing him in a pit of quicklime.

Now we all know that's a lie.

[Boo Radley]

I am fond of old farts.

He keeps his favorites in labeled jars on a shelf. When he's feeling nostalgic, he takes one out, carefully unscrews the lid and takes a gentle whiff, then lets the pungent aroma take him back to that day he created it.

He's Dutch. They're weird.

[PanzerMike]

He's Dutch. They're wonderful.

There, fixed that for ya, you old fart you.

[Boo Radley]

Ah, Pampered Tyke (Neither spelt nor bolded), changing a post instead of the more difficult and creative way of using one's own words to mock them. How like a Dutchman, staggering through life with their silly bobbed, blonde hair and clunky wooden shoes to match their clunky wit.

There's a reason they're called the low countries, you know.

More tea, vicar?

[PanzerMike]

How like a Dutchman, strolling through life with their sassy bobbed, blonde hair and funky wooden shoes to match their superior wit.

There, fixed that for ya, you old fart.

Actually, I did look a bit like that back then, he he he.

[Nidan1]

When? About six months ago?

[ng cavscout]

Nidan1 and I just finished up a night assault battle with the glorious army of the workers and peasants assaulting a ridge, then across a river, and finally up and across another ridge mass to dislodge the fascist Hun from our sacred soil. It was quite the blood bath, but (as expected) the righteous socialist fury of the glorious Red Army was not to be denied.

The fascist scum had been pushed back and encircled when they finally threw themselves on the mercy of my brave soldiers and surrendered unconditionally. We will see how they like the mercy of the Gulag. As Stalin (or was it Lenin?) said, "There is more to do in Siberia than count trees now". *quote courtesy of Solzhenitsyn in Gulag Archipelago, great book if you haven't read it yet*

Maybe Nidan1 has an excuse for the poor performance of his lads?

[Nidan1]

We wuz robbed I tell ya!!!

[Watcher]

We wuz robbed I tell ya!!!

There’s too much emphasis put on winning in life. You should probably just be satisfied with a participation ribbon.

All Hail to the Exalted Conquering Knight of House Rune, the Slayer of Evil and Protector of Righteousness. He makes straight the paths of the pure of heart and sends vermin quivering in fear to their dark smelly holes.

Why the use of such flagrant hyperbole? Because no one ever says, “It’s only a game,” when their winning.

This kid has potential I tell you, potential!

[Watcher]

He's Dutch. They're weird.

I personally give thanks to the Dutch for their contributions to English culture.Just in the area of linguistics we have these memorable phrases that have added so much to our language.

“Dutch OVEN” is a term for when one farts in bed and pushes one’s

partner’s head under the covers to enjoy the atmosphere

DUTCH TREAT: A meal, amusement etc. at which each person pays for

himself, that is, a false treat, not a treat at all

DUTCH DEFENSE: Retreat or surrender (no defense at all). It is also a

legal defense where the defendant seeks clemency by deceitfully betraying

others.

DUTCH DUMPLINGS: Buttocks. A homosexual expression from the mid to

late 20th century.

DUTCH EXIT: To fart just before leaving a table, car, elevator, or room and

leaving the stink with others

DUTCH UNCLE To be spoken to “like a Dutch uncle” is to be scolded, to

receive a stern lecture or comments given with unsparing severity and

frankness.

DUTCH WIFE: A prostitute.

So I for one thank you PutzerMike for all the great things your little province of Germany have given to us.

[PanzerMike]

Ah, yeah, name calling. Faint echoes of the olden days when the English were time and again soundly trashed by our tiny nation. Emrys probably still remembers this vividly:

The Raid on the Medway, in June 1667, ended the war with a Dutch victory. It is considered one of the most humiliating defeats in British military history: a flotilla of ships led by Admiral de Ruyter sailed up the river Thames, broke through the defensive chains guarding the Medway, burned part of the English fleet docked at Chatham and towed away the Unity and the Royal Charles, pride and normal flagship of the English fleet. The greatly expanded Dutch navy was for numerous years after the world's strongest. The Dutch Republic was at the zenith of its power.

Over 300 years ago, and still not over it. How sad.

Lucky for us, English culture has contributed greatly to the Dutch vocabulary. Especially one particular English four letter word starting with an f comes to mind...

Ow, and thank you for the great English contribution to cuisine. You have given the world greasy fish and chips, served in a classy newspaper. And horrible, horrible beer.

The Scots on the other hand...

[Stuka]

WOW, 1667 hey?? You guys are practically on a roll! Keep up the good work dyke-boy!

[PanzerMike]

Dang, I forgot the Oddstrayliuns. Sorry bout that Stuka. Hmm, let's see:

In early 1606 Willem Janszoon encountered and then charted the shores of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. The ship made landfall at the Pennefather River in the Gulf of Carpentaria on 26 February 1606. This was the first authenticated landing of a European on Australian soil. Other Dutch explorers include Dirk Hartog, who landed on the Western Australian coast, leaving behind a pewter plate engraved with the date of his landing; and Abel Tasman, for whom Tasmania was eventually named—he originally called it Van Diemen's Land after a senior member of the Dutch East India Company. Maps from this period and the early 18th century often have Australia marked as "New Holland" on account of the voyages of these Dutch explorers

So all was well in the beginning. New Holland no less. But what went wrong I wonder? Ow wait, it was the ... English.

A Fleet of British ships arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 to establish a penal colony

What a shame, all downhill from there, I'm afraid. The English were on a roll. Oz never recovered. The Dutch (bless them) tried to reverse the fortunes of the poor Oddstrayliuns by sending boat loads of aid workers in the 1950's and 1960's. Alas, to no avail. Damn shame really.

You could try to petition us to take you back in our glorious kingdom as a slightly backward province. Who knows, maybe Oz will be a better place then after a few generations. Worth a try I guess. You would become a serf to the House of Orange. If you behave well, you may make it to squire

....."New Holland" on account of the voyages of these Dutch explorers

So all was well in the beginning. New Holland no less. But what went wrong I wonder? Ow wait, it was the ... English.

We can probably agree on the last point, but that's all. Your mob had no drive, except the drive to smash their ships on the Western Australian coast with regular monotony. Never did learn from those mistakes.

...You could try to petition us to take you back in our glorious kingdom as a slightly backward province.

I just conducted a poll, 9 out of 10 people said "No thanks, we don't like tulips".

Shouldn't you have you fingers in the dyke instead of your Nether-Regions...?

Noba.
