what! no peanut sauce on the chips?
no wonder German s cannot be made to move

heat peanut butter and milk, for your 's portion add "a lot" sambal goreng

and form Ikea? the ones with the strange salt and the stranger herbs? does it come with a manual nowadays?

I'm considering marching down to the endocrinologist's this afternoon and making a scene

Make sure to display a few selected symptoms while you're at it!

I'll not suggest anything but some four or five years ago I visited my local hospital for three days in a row with pain and fever. the third day I let myself fall over the reception desk. when I'd been on the floor for about five minutes a local found I had a ruptured appendicitis
did you try fainting?

*waits with bated breath to hear how it went *

What on earth did you bait your breath with, Pierce? Phewee! Smells like pickled garlic with a sode order of.. week old fish?

that's amazing, dear. what kind of hardware do you have since you could make that out

I'm not telling, you might steal it!

it's the new iSmell from Apple isn't? You got on pre-order. Ooooh, I'm jealous me!

Ooh no, it's not from them. Cant be havin with that overpriced apple rubbish... All style and not enough susbtance to be worth it!

I have always been puzzled by the overabundance of aural puns on this website. After all, this is typed, not spoken...

I have finally figured it out!

85% of hootooers subvocalise when reading....

(The other 15% of us have to reread the posts.)

Actually, the German words for "apple" (Apfel) and "rubbish" (Abfall) aound almost identical...

... or even sound...

No shouting-at-doctors today, I only just got back from Uni

And Dmitri, I just hear the words in my head

No shouting at docs? That is the point where I am beginning to be worried about you Maybe you ought to see a doctor or something.

The cynic in me just needs to ask you, though... You are not a Privatpatient, are you? I am in the rather unfortunate position of being one currently (having to go and send the bills to my private insurance company and the state-run Beihilfestelle in the hopes of them processing them quickly and sending me the money asap, and then trying not to fall for the temptation of using THAT money to pay other bills and letting the doctors wait until next payday... grrr it sucks, and not in a good way - but I digress). So, being in the position of a Privatpatient, I can testify this much: I never seem to have trouble getting appointments for specialists these days. And they seem quite keen on trying to be nice to me

Y.

A likely story......you all move your lips when you read.

(But you do it in more than one language...)

these days I'm never actually sure what language it is...

hootooish?

Hootish would fit in with Sho's owls...

(And no, I'm not privately insured )

no matter what insurance .. you can still shout at your s until the moment they stick a needle in your arm and cover you with a green sheet
