Now that can hurt. Hope you've got you're skid=lid on.

St. Scuttle of the AA.

I'm still up. Sleep is for the weak...

That's for you to say, but you are on the other side of the puddle.

St. Scuttle the non-swimmer.

You done stole my turn of phrase you ariel ostrich!

Mauve ostrich warlord...could be kinda cute...

The sun isn't even up yet. Why am I awake?

Eh?

Bam.

This is your wake up call.


Aaaaargh!

Bam.

....wake up call...that was hours ago...I just had morning break...

...but I wouldn´t mind a nap...

I'm just having my first pint of of the day.

Oh, all right.

As someone excessively new here...........I wonder if I could start a campaign for a special annual Thingite celebration? We could call it "Carpe Sporkum Diem", and hold it on an appropriate Thing, with jollifications and a spork-friendly menu, containing such wonders as Cottage Pie (made with real cottages, perhaps?) and apple crumble.

'Hip, hip Spork Day!'

Sounds good to me! Is cottage pie anything like shepherd's pie?

* tries to imagine huge pies containing cottages and shepherds*

Cottage Pie is just Shepherd's Pie without the layer of baked beans.

Shepherd's pie has baked beans in it? I must have been eating cottage pie all my life without realising it!

Anyway, I fear we're getting off-topic. What about this Spork Day thing?

Traditionally, Shepherd's Pie is made from minced mutton in gravy with a layer of baked beans on top, topped off with mashed potato. Cottage Pie is minced beef & onion with a layer of mashed potato on top.

And I like the day idea.

Weeelll.........it is sort of a Thing with added essence of Doobry, really. All kinds of sporkful activities, with loads of food and a modicum of drink. Freelance poet attacks, jellybean racing, Weirdest Digital Pic exhibition, Declamations of the Largest Lies Available, etc.


All the usual stuff...........

*hungry waits for pie*

shepherds pie is made with lamb/mutton (basically sheep)
cottage pie is made with beef.

either can have baked bean or a layer of cheese and crisps on the top. and sometimes they are eaten with gravy and ketchup in a large gooey mass. or maybe that's just me.
