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

The problem is every "subculture" has a few bad eggs...and every subculture has a certain style of dress...so you could say that people in trenchcoats have done terrible things...you could say the same about people in police uniforms too...

I blame the media.

And the goat.

Actually I'm not sure: I heard recently that those kids didn't wear trenchcoats at all, it was just a media misrepresentation.
Hey wait I really DO blame the media!

Not sure if it's true, though. Just something I head a little while ago.

Charlton heston claimed if they hadn't been wearing trenchcoats they wouldn't have been able to hide the guns
so the NRA stance was the trenchcoats, not the guns were to blame
ok, really the people were to blame but a lunatic with a knife can do a lot less damage than one with a gun
as to who was to blame for them being so messed up (the , media, society, their parents, take your pick) I don't know

What goat what now ??

I suppose you could hide a gun anywhere if you really wanted to...I could hide a gun in my skirt if I wanted...does this mean we can only *really* trust the scantily clad?

I don't know if I could live like that

it would have its compensations

Nah the dudes themselves were at fault, I'm just blaming the media 'coz I always blame the parents but they probably need a break in this case.

Interesting what you say about the NRA blaming the trenchcoats.

"...a lunatic with a knife can do a lot less damage than one with a gun..." Usually true, but it depends on the particular lunatic. I know /I/ could do a heck of a lot more damage with a knife. Or an axe for that matter.

well yes since I don't know how to load a gun or what a safty catch looks like I could probably do more damage with a knife than a gun (still not much though) but in general the points valid I think

of course if you have a knife on a 747 you can do a helluva lot of damage

"...in general the points valid I think" Absolutely! I'm just the kind of person who tries to play devil's advocate and come up with exceptions to every generalisation. Doesn't mean I disagree at all.

You can do a helluva lot of damage on a 747 with a cat, if it came to it! Even if you don't mean to!

And as one last exception for ya: my ex-trainer is probably more dangerous with a cream bun than most terrorists would be with a craft knife.

so perhaps we should ban him
*that body has been classified as a lethal weapon sir*

I don't think anyone who doesn't have the proper license should be walking around with cream buns anyway...

Unfortunately he's the kind of guy who would carry an unlisenced cream bun just as a to anyone who wanted to take it off him...

But I agree, let's start an organisation - say the NCBA - and confiscate any cream buns we find!

I think that's a good idea...I've seen the damage a cream bun can cause...I've seen the terrified victims, the saddened children...

...it needs to be stopped!

its not the cream cakes that are to blame, its the clowns that use them

Oh the humanity!

Right it's sorted, let's start an organisation! Can anyone think of a better name than the NCBA?

I can't think of a proper acronym (that's not the right word, is it ?)

All I can think is "we're after your buns!"

Freeze! Up against the wall, you!

(Yeah acronym's the right word.)

Now I step out slowly, and show us your buns!!

Oh wow, I think I had a few too many s

wow i bet kirsty has lovely buns lol

well i dont think i could do all that much wiht a knife.. but i culd do alot wiht an uzi... if it was allready loded

hmmm... i cant think of an acrynom....
but i'm all for starting a group.

I always wanted to go on a rampage with a rusty spoon
