The fairy makes a fun noise when you shoot it and it hits a tree . I can't remember much more than that...
And "Maintignity" is the result of spending toooooo many hours playing Resident Evil....three I believe it was, in the dark. *giggles* M'buuuuddy Gazz is playing, running down a corridor that has a particularly tricky camera angle to navigate. The sentence goes a little something like this "Now, let's see if I can maintignity this time"
We believe it is a contraction of "Maintain Dignity", but we're not sure.

Good word, for the player in a hurry... Where did you get a fairy to experiment on? My sister always said that there should be a word to describe someone who has integrity. (Cos integral ain't it.) Maybe someone can do a lexicon of useful new words? Me, if I wasn't too lazy/busy... I started a new paper, Language Teaching Practice yesterday. Aaarggghhhh!

The fairy thing wasn't as much a practical experiment as it was theoretical. We know fairies make cute noises, and we know that people make wierd noises when hit in the gut by something fast moving, so we came to the conclusion that a fairy hit in the gut by something fast moving would make a wierdly cute, or 'fun' noise

Impeccable logic, my friend and I am glad to learn that no fairies were harmed in the course of your research!

Yup little to no use is right
I hope I can go to work tomorrow, being home is driving me ty
Cheese, I like your resident evil inspired word. A recptionist where I work has a word nunu noun: pertaining to anything slightly technical for which the name escapes you at the time.
Glad to finally see last night on TV someone mention the a vote for NZFirst was (and may still be) a vote for national.

It's a very scary thing, and that's for sure! Why does anyone vote for them?(I mean, ACT are scary, not your typing..

You're telling me! 48 hours to go... Someone just said ACT might not make it, then he said: "Imagine a life without Prebble and Hide". Indeed! I know how I am voting - I presume everyone else had made up their minds?

We have the same problem. Jimmy wants to watch the election, and I'm torn, despite my feelings about it, I don't want to miss 'EFC'. It hurts so good! Jimmy may decide on 'Total Recall 2070' when it comes down to it...

Yes, I'll have some too! It's a wonderful result, if Winnie (My Way or the Highway) Peters doesn't mess it up... Or Peter (What do I really stand for?) Dunne...
Michelle Boag and Bill English are for the high jump, I hear...
