Until gayness can be accidentaly discharged and shoot me in the head, I''d say no!

Just told this story on another thread; you're more on the ball than me! I also moved to the States from Scotland at ten (we moved back to the UK a couple of years later), and I never caught what on earth the kids were mumbling when they mysteriously stood up every morning. One day a substitute teacher decided that…

When I was 10, my family moved to the US for a few years from Scotland. On my first day of school, all the kids stood up and mumbled something then sat back down again. Having no idea what was happening and being too shy to ask, I just copied them as best I could.

*pro-vampire. It's early; brain not fully awake yet.

I saw a kind of bat/Dracula thing, and had a whole anti-vampire message worked out before I read the text. To be fair, they seem to be banning beards without faces, which I would ban too as that would be creepy as hell.

Dear Employees:

I was just impressed that apparently googling something and reading Middlemarch require similar enough levels of time & effort to be an either/or situation.

You might need to look up the word "habitually." And also "valid" for that matter. Or are you suggesting that this incident did not occur because anothere incident occured?

If I don't brush or floss, eventually my teeth will fall out. Are you teling me that if I don't go snooker ball smoothe my VADGE WILL FALL OUT?

It's not you, it's (warning, highly unscientific probably only barely correct remembering of something someone once explained to me:) something to do with the fact that, however academically fluent you may be in a language, your brain kind of defaults to your native language, so needs a moment to kick start into…

There was a girl in my middle school who convinced a bunch of us (for the record: I was always dubious) that the whole 'finding the one/perfect match/soulmate/whatever' thing was about finding, literally, the cock that would fit you - as though all humans in the world were locks and keys. As some of us lost our…

If I was the one cleaning and cooking, I would probably have set fire to the house on the first day one way or another, so there's that.

Nope. a) that's a generalisation - I'm no supermodel by any stretch of the imagination but I barely give a moment's thought to my looks most days, they're just there; and b) it may be society's fault that women feel pressure about their looks, but it will only change if we do as individuals. I would hope anyone I was…

This is precisely why these kind of nonsense generalisations don't work. If a guy told me I looked pretty when I blatantly didn't, I'd throw a pickle jar at the patronising git.

It's not even that - for all we know, the 'arguing' consisted of, "no Sir, I'm not an intruder, your daughter is my girlfriend and she invited me in." The young man's "terrible attitude" is a figment of the imagination of our friend here.

Yep, evolution has... anything to do with this.

And in two horrific sentences, the trigger happy moron manifesto.

I say the same thing about dating in my mid 30s. I may or may not meet someone in time to bear children. Meh. I thoroughly enjoy my life; anything else is gravy. Suck it, Princeton lady!

Exactly!

I get the reference, but it doesn't apply to this, hence my: eh?
