JJ is like the Spanish Inquisition.

Actually, beyond picturing her in one of those red dresses, I hadn't really thought that one out. But I'm sure some Python nerd will pick up on it...

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition... or Jade.

What about red dresses? I want a red dress.

I could do a red dress now, as I currently have blue-flavoured hairs.

I found a thing:

Here it is translated:

Is it a Japanese thing that the concepts of 'red' and 'orange' seem to have been muddles? They look like they're wearing sou'wester coats. Y'know, fisherman jackets.

Well nobody expected them to go fishing RIGHT BEFORE they started their inquisitorial campaign, now did they?

...

Brilliant! It's like the great battle of Wossname, when Alexander the Great slept in, and left the opposing army standing around like tits all morning in the hot sun. Then he got up, yawned, had a shave and started the fighting in his own good time. That story has inspired me to many a sleep-in...

Alexander the Great is officially the best person in all of history.

Bit short for my tastes.

You'd be a bit female for his tastes.

Another good 'un: Alexander has come to Corinth, and gone to visit the Cynic philospher Diogenes. Alexander, with all his retinue, finds Diogenes sun-bathing in front of the tub he lives in, and walks up to him.

Alexander: Is there anything that I, Alexander the Great, can bestow on such an eminent philosopher?

Diogenes: Get out of my light.

Zing!

Did that really happen? I'm skeptical.

I am pretty certain I have heard this anecdote before.

*Bursts out of his chair, grabs EvilClaw, and pins him by the neck against the wall.*

Don't you EVER question the validity of Legion's anecdotes. They are nuggets, little golden nuggets of information, which he bestows oh so generously and freely, for the greater good of man, upon all the peoples of the Earth.

Except Italians, of course.

I'm not questioning the VALIDITY of Legion's anecdote. I'm questioning the validity of LEGION's anecdote.

Hokay then, I don't think anyone would remember me and even if you do, I doubt it's with fondness, but i was trying to spread the good word of Thing and was having a bit more trouble finding the page then ususal. Anyway I was browsing through and saw that there is a new enemy to our cause? What's going on here? Just a quick answer will do then I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing before. I won't even comment on the new title of this thread.

andit's the one on the left ya gotta worry about...

Xanthippi, I think it is pretty safe to say that no one here cares.

*begins readying a swift kick to EvilClaw's balls, while Hally has him so nicely pinned, there*

don't worry, I know you hate me.

andit's the one on the left ya gotta worry about...

*Looks up.*

Hmm? Who are hatin' now?

It appears to be a nut with a scythe.

*readies nut crackers*

Hey Xanthippi. I remember you! And now I must be away to soccar band camp practice. *explodes*
