We're still rubbing along

The rub is something like a difficulty or obstruction.

Rubbing meat is not quite what I had in mind.

Limey - ugh. Hint around that I need a paper bag over my head!

I did not think you would come out and say that, just hint around at it. What does "the rub" mean? I'm not aware if we do say that. well, we do when we are rubbing our meat. I don't think I put that right...but I'm too tired to reword. (Yes, it was much easier to write all this instead...lol)

Hint? What hint?

Yes, you're an American, Chelly, and I'm afraid, there's the rub* - as we say over here.

PS *Do you say it over there?

Limey, of course I wouldn't think you would say that! Just kinda

hint around at it...  I am American, you know..

Paper bag?

Do you think I'm capable of suggesting that you, Chelly, would be vastly improved by having a paper bag placed over your head?

How could you possibly think such a thing of a fair-minded Englishman? (Please don't answer that).

Yes, limey...her teeth are a work of art...Genius.

Loretta Lynn?  I would rather not go into detail about that one.  To much pain.  Now, about my wisker's...are you saying I look better with paper covering up my face?  This saddens me...I better go lick myself.

Purple prose

Tut, tut - this is a turd too far.

Indeed ~

I've decided to wrap my own toilet plunger in purple silk in honor of the Royal Lovebunny.  And I told it to start speaking Pluralis Majestatis as well.

"Your Plungeness, there appears to be a turd lodged in the Royal Pooper."

"Oh, dear. Well, we must dislodge it at once. Henry, pump us...and with vigor!"

"Yes, m'Lady. There. Have you found it?"

" *Blrrrprp!* We have it! Flush us, Henry, flush us!"

"God save the turd."

Good afternoon, Cantey.
PS You were almost right.

Mark - silence, please

Your last remark calls for a moment's silence while we both - and you in particular, Mark - consider the seriousness of your last statement.

As you know, it is doubtful whether the word sexy can be used in this context. Royalty live on a higher plain.

Naughty, naughty Chelly

You know better than to poke fun at Lady Camilla, the love of my life.

You must admit the hat is a work of art, the teeth a supreme example of the dentist's skill, and the smile ... well, it's just so perfectly radiant.

Puppy paws? Stick to the whiskers - you're much improved by them.

PS Who's Lorretta Lynn? Is she a coal-miner's daughter, are you, or are both of you?

Hurtful?

That's the sexiest piece of headwear I've ever seen. And the hat is pretty neat, too.

Well, I suppose it's better you do your 'butching' there than here. But do try to keep it to yourself.

Mark

I've been stunned into silence these last few days contemplating your deeply hurtful remarks.

On reflection, I'm certain you couldn't possibly mean them.

Therefore, don't feel embarrassed to contact me again when you feel the time is right for you to recant.

Come on Limey, you had to laugh at "Buttzilla"...especially wearing

a toliet plunger...barnacle teeth..lol.  We are, pretty in an odd sort of way?  Ouch.  But I would have to agree on some.  I have been told I look like Loretta Lynn.  Coal Miner's Daughter.  Still not over that one.  You try to hard to be insulting, the good sorta creeps up in ya sometimes.  Sometimes.  Hey, I traded my wisker's in for puppy paws...

not bad...

very interesting. you enjoy whatever it is you do in europe, my friend. i'll enjoy butching the english language right here in ol' U.S of A.

posted by Mapet6 on May 13, 2005 at 8:27 PM | link to this | reply

Limey's right. Lay off Lady Buttzilla.

Not everyone can compliment a set of barnacle-teeth with a giant, lace-covered toilet plunger the way she can.

Gwroar, yes?

gotcha Limey

Coke is far more universal as that cola drink than as a drug.

Wonder

How very kind and unexpected.

Yes, I shall relax and enjoy myself over my English weekend - ie Friday evening (a good night to meet friends), Saturday and Sunday.

Despite your terribly sad loss, I hope you'll also be able to relax a little, too - or as you might say, chill out.

Hi Limey, wanted to stop by and wish you a happy English weekend, whatever

that is.

Fact

What, pray, is Coke - a kind of drug?

Cans? As far as I know, most things come in tins.

And your little man - who is he and why does he call himself Bad?

Do explain.

Sassy

Cheeky!

No need: as you may have heard, it's actually our language. (Which is the reason it carries our name, don't you think?).

Now really, there's no need to be quite so rude about our future Queen. You must agree she looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day.

Of course, some of you American ladies are quite attractive - in a peculiar sort of way.

Hey, I bet he's got an empty can of Coke sitting nearby.

And he probably likes this guy....hehehe... now THAT is insulting!

posted by FactorFiction on May 13, 2005 at 2:56 PM | link to this | reply

Yep, I love being sassy

You would choose butt ugly Camilla over us gorgeous American ladies? What's up with that?

posted by sassyass_64 on May 13, 2005 at 2:51 PM | link to this | reply

You love us

admit it! You are so obsessed with us that we are all you think about. You are probably going to classes right now to get yourself well versed in our language.

Sorry to disappoint, but my inclination tends towards a fragrant English rose - someone such as dear, sweet Camilla, perhaps.

It doesn't matter what it contains

just the fact that it is truthful and funny. This miserable American has often bitched about our language. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Admit it, deep down, you really want to shag a vapid American chick ...

one like Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson, who congratulated Secretary of the Interior Gail Norton on the wonderful way the White House was decorated.

It's just sooooo clear from the way you write about Americans

That you desperately want to be one...that you're extremely envious of America and all things American.

Admit it! You'd love nothing better that to come here and wear our tacky clothing and eat our crappy food and live in one of our expensive neighborhoods. Even drive one of our big, gas guzzling SUV's.
