You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

No, it's cool if other people want to discuss it. When you asked if you should re-open it, I was hoping I would understand it better, but I'm clearly hearing something that (I think) you don't intend to be saying. So it's better if I just step away and chill out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In my world, suspicion isn't about someone being dishonest. It's about the opportunity to discover a new way to look at things. And that's kinda hot and cool, IMHO.

In English suspicious is totally about somebody being dishonest. "I am suspicious of what you are saying" is an accusation of untruth.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Bicycle Lock or Kinky Cuffs?. You decide.

Gonna have to go with kink on that one because I can't see any way to safely lock up a bike with those things. One end on the bike and the other on the rack just means someone walks away with your front wheel, and trying to wrap them around and interlock the cuffs would need a longer chain.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, yay. I hate learning these things the hard way. Don't get me wrong - it's good to know, but I always manage to piss someone as I learn it.

Always Anti-fascist!

Language always has stuff like that. Not to mention cultural crap as well, ie. "cunt" being the epic, don't use ever, swear word in the US, and in the UK and Ireland, not really so much. "The Commitments" shocked me with that one when I first read it. And Irish English and mine are much closer than English and Hebrew.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We need a name for 46!
