h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am not Austrialian, and I'm the Admiral of money and galactic finances!!!

I am not Australian, I was born in Outer LOndon and moved to Newcastle upon TYNE!!!

Well, it worked for the word "gay"

Hey good point... did I mention that I'm actually a gay man trapped in a woman's body? And my old man's a lesbian trapped in a man's body so go figure huh? Probably why we get along although I'm still not sure how that can be.

And sorry Admiral but your murky references to dingoes if not Munchkins sort of convinced me you were from Oz and not only that but a lot of people born in OUter London are Australian except for the ones born around Ayers Rock I guess.

And didn't they used to have a jail at Newcastle for exporting the local problem children to Australia and Georgia and Pitcairn Island and Honduras and Outer Mongolia and The Farside of the Moon or the Mountains Thereof so they'd be somebody else's problem children? Nah... that's Newgate I think but I always get confused with New stuff because I can never find the Old stuff.

Newcastle does'nt have a prison for some bezare and unexplorable reason. Our nearest prisons are in Alnwick, Durham and Cumbria. Your right about transporation, we used to sling the bad rubbishy people from our country to Austrialia, so no other European country would have the slightest sence to land there!, We tried the same with America unfortuantly they kicked us out!!!

> "No - changing language does not really work."

gay, queer, n****r, and a load of other 'reclaimed words'. You need organisation, though - you can't change language all on your lonesome...

I didn't like know that was the stategy... to pollute potential colonial opportunities with brit lowlifes. Must be potent stuff too because it sure worked in Georgia. I don't think the Cherokee or Muskogee want it back either.

They might, if you cleanse it from humans first, and let it recover for a millenium or so.

Hows about the Bureau of Reclamation of Perjorative Terms or BOROPT?

Our Mission... to prove once and for all time that those... who think the reason the pen is mightier than the sword is because they can use their pens to figuratively stab people they don't approve of in the eye... are full of bilge because we're going to shoot them down like dogs in the street... no... that's not right... we're going to grab their figurative pens away from them and stab ourselves in the eyes... and then we won't be able to see what they write which is just as well because it's bilge anyways. And then they'll have to learn Braile in order to insult us which will hopelessly complicate their lives causing them to slide into a relentless depression followed by a well deserved suicide.

Actually the land'll recover in less than a generation I think. It's all those SUVs and executive estates that'll take awhile to recycle. And ya can't even burn their barns down anymore without running afoul... so to speak... of the Clean Air Act.

Did this place used to talk about sex and currency?

Not quite, the currency needed for sex.

I suppose the next thing you're going to say is that barn burnings have nothing whatever to do with paying for sex right?

How silly! Of course they do... duh!!! Just like pink towels and getting tanned through autoglass ok? And if you can't see the common thread here... well I'm sorry but it's in the ball of yarn somewheres so just keep looking ok? Or maybe it was in the haystack attached to the needle. Hmmm... hope we didn't burn the haystack too...

Hi there you pretty ice-type legendary bird. Have you actually noticed the title of your post?

Lilithcooky, I can't quite follow you.
What's barn burning to do with paying for sex? I can imagine a pay-off for not having sex, or people so much burning for sex that they ignite the barn...

Or am I looking for hay in a stack of needles?

There isn't a connection Marjin.
He/she/they hates flippancy and hence took exception to the age-old hootoo tendency toward topic drift rearing its head further upthread.

The little barbed comments about other things haven't drawn any blood so barrels are obviously finding themselves scraped rather severely now.

(Whatever you do don't try to roll in that stack )

Whatever are you suggesting Tefkat?

You mean you havnae discovered how much fun it is to roll in hay?
Poor Sharky, you've been seriously deprived.

It's not an unknown pleasure, I'd have to admit.
I recognize the sound of barels being scraped as well.

I'm just hanging around hoping there may be some old fish-heads in the bottom. ...
