Introduction
Lisa Marie
I'm delurking again here. I've frequented the group on and off for ten years
and I've always loved it. Time constraints are sometimes impossible for me
to post, but I've never truly abandoned the group.
Me in a proverbial nutshell:
I'm a high-tech business reporter and I live in the Boston area. I'm working
on a few short stories. I collect biographies of women authored before 1860
(data arbitrary). I try to be footloose and fancy free, but I'm a geek and
<confession mode> really need to stop being so uptight. I have big hair.
I have many irrational phobias, which include a fear of passing gas loudly
in a crowd, people feeling my apartment is messy (it is), being plagerized,
and snakes.
I am obsessed with guinea pigs, owning books that I really don't have time
to read, and horses (I grew up on a horse/dairy farm).

You're a mess, and have come to the right place.
Anent the hair. Yours is big, Wayne's is gone. Therefore,
using the gek Theory of Cosmic Balance, all is correct.
As your doctor, I would advise you to avoid avoiding
voiding of that gas, although mufflers may be advisable.

Gas is a sign of a healthy alimentary tract, as all the small creatures are
doing their jobs well. However, loud gas is usually a sign of tension at
the area of exit. Gas flowing through a constricted vessel vibrates at a
frequency dictated by an equation: volume of gas/available area of exit. My
suggestion is to relax, thereby dilating the aperture and lessening the
tension--which will result in a lower frequency. And since the human ear
cannot hear below 450 whatchamcallits, you can shoot for that number or
lower.
Don't take this suggestion lightly because I have a PhD in Kinesiastical
Thingamajigs from MIT. So, I know whence I speak. Kelly can back me up on
that because she went there too.

It's expensive stuff, too. You ever try to milk one? Only one udder and
it's as big as a horse's coc...waitaminnit. I think I know what I was

I should have mentioned in the earlier thread that the North
Puffin Public Transit network recently awarded the contract for
alternative fuel source research to a firm headed (or some other
anatomical reference) jointly by Wayne and Dr. Kindheart. Wayne
is providing information on how to force passengers to do squat
thrusts. We already know what Geno offered.
I believe they are selling stock.
FWIW, /Ari and Kaichi may still sneak up behind you and force
you to buy either a reindeer maintenance policy or the less famous
turkey insurance. It's important to realize that these are both
scams!
Newbies are, however, required to buy a one-year bus pass for
the North Puffin Public Transit Network.

There's nothing "crypto" about it, dear heart. It says

not near enough roughage in them to ease evacuation. Mucho

That's what they call them Eskimo people up in Alaska, right? Innits.
"Innit" is an ancient Chinese word which means "Holy shit! Where'd all

Few Brits would say "innit" unless they were taking the piss.
A comedian/impressionist used a character - a long time ago - that said
"innit" at the end of every sentence. He was a Greek kebab shop owner with a
cockney accent.
There aren't that many Greek kebab shop owners with cockney accents in the
UK that the phrase will ever become a national treasure or anything.

I know no one that says "innit" with any sort of regularity and/or casual
use. Not a one.

"Taking the piss" equates to ridiculing or ribbing the recipient of the
jibe. "Taking the mickey" is a less crude version of the same.

On the other hand, there's an element of taking the piss where you're
concerned, innit?

Funniest Cockney accent since Dick Van Dyke, that Stavros. I suppose
they all sound alike when you're living in the wilds of Wath.
Has nobody heard of Ali G? He's a bit fresher than Stavros.

I've never heard "innit" outside of British comedy shows.
Same goes with "sommat" ("Them chickens is up to

But if it's any consolation, I know Italian-Americans from

"Summat" is pretty widely used, so much so that there is a free Ads paper in
Sheffield called "Summat". The fact that it is a free paper means that is
can be called "Summat for Nowt" on the billboards - which is nice.

I'm not familiar with Wath. Is it some sort of village? I know Sheffield -

Was Stavros meant to be Cockney?
Isn't it strange, BTW, how the purportedly "alternative" comedians are
quickest to resort to racial stereotype, bum and fart jokes, and homophobia
(check out Ben Elton for plenty of the latter)?

Everyone's circle is limited, Zen. I meet people from pretty much the length
and breadth of this fair isle most weeks, so I do get a good cross section
to chat to in everyday life. Admittedly, there does seem to be a shortage of
"urban black men" of the Ali G type in the games industry, so I might just
be missing out.

Doncaster is but a ten minute drive from Wath, so you've been pretty close.
Actually, about midway between Sheffield and Doncaster is where it can be
found on a map.

In the UK, all "pint" glasses have to have a crown symbol on them, plus a
number: the number refers to the licence number of whichever civil servant
checked out the original glass moulds to be a perfect pint. Mr 606 gets
around a lot more than most.
The reason for the crown symbol is obvious: the Queen can, at certain
state occasions, vomit a perfect pint. Including lumps which, to avoid
confusion, stay suspended below the surface of the liquid.

I fucking hated Stavros, for reasons you hint at above. Harry Enfield
is a smug cunt, the Dick Emery of his generation. Every joke he ever
had was based on his supercilious take on some easy target.
Loadsamoney was a loadsabollox, Stavros was the antithesis of funny.
The only things that ever worked, it's now clear, were the work of
Paul Whitehouse. If it gets to you, check out his series Happiness.
Ace mid-life sitcom, for once a middle-aged wanker with laughs

one and all. Other than Arnold Brown and Gerry Sadowitz, off the top

No, I know Stavros. I just didn't remember where he was supposed to be from.
Kebap, Turkish for meat, innit?
Do you know that here in Brisbane, pita bread is flat? The stuff that make a
