BTW Kirsten, my cow-orkers find your enthusiasm for
Americanisms most amusing. I think I will try to
trick our British cow-orker into saying something
like "that critter just unloaded an entire can of
whoop-ass onto that poor varmint". Naturally I
wouldn't do that without making sure the rest of us
had oxygen masks handy.

And don't worry - my latest reply in the religion thread is lame. I guess
isolated rants are more my thing...

If it's while you're driving, I'm so jealous.
I'm such a lousy driver, I have to focus my full attention on driving. If I
ranted, I'd crash and burn...
You're probably the kind of driver that inspires my rants.
Quite a few of them contain sentiments such as "if you're
afraid of your car take the bus".
I tend toward "you promised to drive when you pulled out here" and "if
it's too big for you to drive, leave it at home".
Plus, of course, the ever-popular "HANG UP AND DRIVE, IDIOT!"

Heh, it is probably the curse of working for a company which has a
bunch of Americans running it.
I find adding the word "ass" following unfavourable adjectives helps
me communicate with them.
So, it's not a stupid idea, it's a stupid-ass idea. It's not a long
meeting, it's a long-ass meeting.
Best-ass wishes
Kirsten
Soon you will be able to move among them invisibly!
Oh yes!
We are starting our ban on using non-handsfree cellphones
(and other like gadgets such as iPods). For now the cops
are just handing out warnings but I think I've already
noted a decrease in people wandering from lane to lane or
failing to notice that they are turning into the traffic
on a one-way street.
I believe over here that's known as a sweet-ass British accent...

Heh it so is.
Best wishes
