*Muffled Explosion from somewhere in the distance*


*Whisky staggers back into the thread - clothing in tatters, face covered in soot, and, for comic effect, his hair standing up on end and gently smouldering*

*Collapses in the middle of the thread*

"I got it to work at last anyway!"

*passes out*

Well, I estimate around a week before we see him do that again.

Sorry this is so excrutiatingly corny - I can't do any better at the moment.



Does it ever seem to you
That you've seen this place before?
That you've been through just this door?
Although it can't be true?

Do you think you are going mad?
Did the words that someone spoke
Eerie memories evoke?
...Memories you can't have had?

If this sounds so much like you
Come along and join the queue
We've even found someone to blame
The syndrome has a posh French name
We're just looking for someone who
Will explain this déja vu.

Yesterday I went to a concert given by the same group of youngsters as one I went to a few weeks ago. Someone asked me if it was a case of deja vu and I nearly asked if he was a hootoo addict.
The French phrase gave me a frisson.

You want to be careful. You're not supposed to have frissons in front of kids anymore these days.

B

Way to go, TC!!
No-one ever said this thread was Art!

As for frissons, well, chance would be a fine thing...

Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen"

B

I regard it as a sort of Trcaey Emin-art.

Little thought, excellent timing and bloody irritating.

B

In fact totally appropriate for this thread!!!

Natch...

B

*staggers to his feet*
*looks around thread*
Are you lot still going on about deja vu?
Looks like I'm going to have to do something drastic here...


looks like A676352 is in order here

*wanders back out of the thread*

Is it just me, or does Whisky appear to be turning into Wile E Coyote?

Meep meep.

B

is that an american president?

Meep Meep indeed, Master B.

That very thought crossed my mind yesterday as I read it, but the confuser fell over so I couldn't post.
Spooky, eh?
Bit like that concept with the fancy French name, wozzit called again...?

Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen"

B

nope....













it's called "deja vu"...




loup

Yes, but what does it mean?

That boy needs therapy

B

*Staggers back into the thread pushing a huge wooden crate marked "Acme thread distruction kit"*

Be right back once I've figured out the instruction manual...

*wanders out scratching his head and reading a 500 page document written in chinese*
