Boo Radley Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I never begged outside a 7-11. The Co-op was always much more lucrative. Michael Did you do a little dance for them? I'm always tempted to give a little money if I'm entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Did you do a little dance for them? I'm always tempted to give a little money if I'm entertained. No, I carried a big heavy walking stick and smiled sweetly whenever someone was generous. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 ... and smiled sweetly whenever someone was generous. Michael I can understand how seeing that cavernous maw opening, expelling a cloud of sepulcherous breath could force even a strong individual to throw money at you and go run up a tree.

Bugged Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I can understand how seeing that cavernous maw opening, expelling a cloud of sepulcherous breath could force even a strong individual to throw money at you and go run up a tree. That's the real reason that Canada went with the one- and two-dollar coins; they sting a bit when they hit beggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugged Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Why not just throw a sock full of nickels? Are you crazy? We can't risk lifting and throwing a sock full of nickels. Our bones would snap due to chronic vitamin D deficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[shudder] Michael One of our cultural heroes died of eating his sled dogs' livers (Vitamin D toxicosis) - was it Mawson? Australians choose their heros in their own fashion: it helps if they died of ignorance exploring a useless wasteland. Anyway, enough history. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Seanachai Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Okay, I'm off on Thursday. Yeah, yeah, I know, you lot regard me as having been off for years. All packed, except for the cigars and shaving kit, told my Small Friends about how I'll probably be eaten by an alligator (they did not seem particularly concerned, but seemed to regard this as being somewhat intriguing), and it's all over now bar the shouting. And, with any luck, screaming. We're going to have a laptop with us, and free Wi-Fi in the hotel room, so I may be able to keep you lot posted on what I'm attacked by. Well, at least until the attackers win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael I think he said something about a "friend", but no one thought to question him on it. Ask for definition of what he thinks a friend is... that sort of thing. I figure it's either imaginary, another escapee from the Mannyappless Home for the Chronically Confused, or inflatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
