many many posts back, but elementary school girls (and some boys) still play chinese jump rope.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Warning to Aussies: in the unlikely event that any of you read WHO magazine (look, my flatmate buys it, OK?), do not under ANY circumstances read the article on Angel that accompanies this week's SMG/Buffy article. It's spoilery as fuck. I'm mad.

Our wings are not tired.
It's a global problem Angus. It seems one has to buy their head in the sand to avoid spoilerific press lately.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Laura speaks the truth, Angus. The official Buffy magazine put two huge ass spoilers on its cover a couple of months ago, and then the newstands all decided to put that issue right out front on their racks where you couldn't possibly miss it.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Allowing for the possibility that they might be pulling our legs, I think all the Murricans who claimed they would never be in need of an English-to-English translator ought to be humbled by these.

nether throat n. In farting, the poot chute; botty bugle. As in “Pardon me while I clear my nether throat”.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Unfortunately the profanisaurus isn't a reflection of real slang. It's a place where slang comes from. Jo Guest is/was a Page 3 Stunna.
The best profanisaurus entry is "Crafty Butcher: On who takes his meat round the back".

Jim, can't wait for the next batch of tapes! (I only just skimmed the spoilers, honest....). I've still got the first part of the 2-parter waiting to be watched as well.
When did you send out the last batch? Nothing arrived here yet.
