That's what I meant.

Second time in this thread that I've used entirely the wrong word. Must be Hasbro's influence.

Now y'see I personally reckon that's alright, as it's being used as a verb. It's as a noun that it causes problems.

As some of you may have heard, our lovely judicial system yesterday upheld a conviction against somebody for making an off-the-cuff gag on Twitter about blowing up an airport if he wasn't able to make his flight the next week. Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get yo...

It seems to be regarded as a much more mild insult, it (or rather "Spaz") pops up in Buffy a few times (and was cut out by the BBC) From what I gather, Spaz and Spastic aren't necessarily the same thing. Spaz is a more friendly joking dimunitive, but the full word still retains its meanin...

I'd like to see a remake of Conan starring Richard O'Brien. That'd be awesome.

The stupid "Wait, you mean you can't actually copyright the term Sci Fi because it's to generic? I wish someone had told us that a decade ago, what can we come up with that's like a retards tx speak version?" name is good enough reason by itself surely? Well, you can't copyright the word ...

My heart just isn't in it anymore. I think I jumped the shark a few seasons back.

Well it sure as hell wasn't you.

Christ, my AWESOME BURNs are getting more and more pathetic.

Ah, the proper hallmark of the music snob. Quote marks around the word artist.

Wouldn't worry about it, mate. She's probably got even less clue who you are.

http://www.dvd.co.uk and http://www.cdwow.com are the only other ones I've used, but not for a long time in either case.

I can't speak Faroese, but I'm fairly certain I have the right skills to wreck Katy Perry.

Just got myself the Tony Hancock boxset.

The internet is now finished and can close?

One of the (many) things that Mad Men is absolutely wonderful for is showing characters smoking and boozing with reckless abandon. Much as they did in those days. Which makes sense given that a large portion of the program is given over to the characters trying to think up ways of flogging booze and...

But did it work?

Oh, totally, stuff should just be left. There's too much storm-in-a-teacup stuff from lefty PC terrorists now... There's a Dad's Army where they clumsily edit Pike saying the old "catch a ****** by the toe" rhyme. And quite rightly too. If it means one thing now, it meant it then too and ...

Did the pumpkin substitute for the mince, sauce or pasta?

Well, depends. The joke as is still works today. The difference is that you're not allowed to be casually racist on the BBC anymore. Unless you're talking about the French/Scottish/Welsh. Not that the gag's even particularly racist. We're just not allowed to say what we think anymore.

"Bound to be a Paki shop open somewhere"? Yeah, it's still there.
