Most of this lot fling insults like so much fecal matter tossed by apes, that leaves the hand that threw it as dirty as the one it landed upon. Soft, clinging, unpleasant but doing no real damage. But it's not bad if you include a lot of cheese in your diet and wear rubber gloves. You just never plan ahead. Others use insults like clubs, battering away at their opponents like angry primitives, depending on their brutishness to make an impact. It always worked for Don Rickles. Look how long he played Vegas. We're not talking chicken feed here, boyo. A few, here and there, use insults like rapiers, their wit flicking out to draw blood so surely and subtly that the victim isn't even sure they've been cut, until the loss of esteem becomes so apparent that they grow dizzy, and fall. That's not bad. Can you continue your analogy? Can you use wit like a Q-tip? How about a clarinet? A propane stove? I'd like to see you use wit like an anemometer. And I dare you to use wit like a piece of Scotch tape that's been pulled off a sheet of paper, but it still has some paper residue stuck to it. I double dog dare you.

But a rapier is not a particularly useful tool when the task at hand is breaking concrete or driving a nail. Granted, you are funnier than I, but I attribute that mostly to the pointy red hat and big floppy shoes you wear. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when work buys my grog. Crown casino security look very stern when they are escorting you outside. The work trip supervisor does not look to impressed when you rock up to breakfast with a can of Jim Beam in your hand. I think he should have been happy that we actually made it back to the hotel in time for breakfast without him having to lodge bail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I got bored with the blog and gave up after about a 3-4 weeks. As for the fading away bit that hasn't exactly worked as planned, now my footy is over again for another 7 months (lost 1st semi by 1pt grrrr) I intend to try and start fading again.

ng cavscout Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 It is so good to be back home that I can actually read the drivel you trogdolytes post without becoming nauseous. I am already back at work writing tickets and arresting wrong doers. Nothing like writing someone for a rolling stop while jamming out to the Pixie's. Makes me think of the Mannysodan's. I initially wrote the Bee Gee's, but that would make me think of the Belgians... Seanachai you turnip, too busy kayaking to get the turn back to me? Sounds like you are becoming quite the mountain man, when are you going to start carrying a flintlock rifle and wearing a coonskin cap? Here is a recent picture of that cute little girl you mentioned. And her little sister. They were going to my cousins wedding about a month before I came home.

Wine will be left up to you. Try to get something that requires a corkscrew this time. When it comes to discussing anything other than slaughtering wildlife and eating it, you show yourself to be a bumpkin. Everyone these days knows that all but the stodgiest and most backwards of vineyards are switching over, in droves, to screw-cap wines. Why? Because of a better, tighter seal, less oxidation, and greater flexibility in storage. Christ, even the FRENCH are reappraising and starting to cave. Time moves on, and needs must follow. But I'm pleased to see that, in your muddled and desperately half-witted state, you've at least arrived at the same point viniculture was at 10 years ago. How much wine do you want, Oh Half Wit Prince? And are you bringing meat for everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 A vat. With a surgical plastic cork please, you shanty town sommelier. Yes, meat for everyone. I'm feeling charitable and last time I think dalem's brisket still had a collar on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
