    Choke splutter, I just stumbled over from another thread, still laughing my head off where the term 'beef curtains' was used.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Lol. I was just in the Hug-a-Pussy thread, and this reminded me of a girlfriend who used to call them "flaps".

    Um - Hitcher - I dropped it, and now my egg's broken. I took photos, but only one photo's any good...

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Good lad. Proper usage will get you everywhere with the BDOTGNZA.

    And for those who appear to think that phenomena is a song by the Muppets, they should pause and consider Latin singulars and plurals (which, with a few exceptions - like fora - I generally detest).

    Is that phenomena comment directed at me? Phenomenon (singular) and Phenomena (plural) seem to be also be an exception to the -um (singular), -a (plural) rules of Latin

    Are you a product of TheModernSchoolOfJournalism TM ?

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    If I hear one more ad for a product that costs a hundred and twenty dollars I'm going to buy a curry from the E rated shit hole curry house down the road, leave it on the bench for a week before eating it, burst a huge shotgun shit splat into a bubble-wrap courier pack and mail it to the sparrow fisting rectum stretcher that wrote the damn thing.

    You could probably get away with "photo's" because it's an abbreviation of "photographs".
