What a jolly surprise! It is yet another delicious piece by Drunkard Magazine!

I am so glad that I stopped reading The New Yorker. Would you like some tea
with moonshine and a pair of crumpets?

You're being sulky and mealy-mouthed again Bobby. Move on, for the sake of your sanity.

are you fermenting that fruit juice of yours?

'diversity' doesn't equal 'accepting crap'. that's one thing you fail to understand. RHP GF is in fact accepting of diversity, but hard on pomposity, spamming, posing - in short, the stuff you do (in all fairness, a bit less these days).

Sorry! Terribly rude to start a thread & then get stuck at work for the best part of two days. Some good advice & thanks for the links. Cheers!

Mealy-mouthed:


"Timid and frail of action to the point of being highly irritating. Lacking in action. No back-bone. Passive. Submissive.

Perceived as a "sweet" person. A term mostly applied to women (by other women) who will neither engage in straight

conversation nor take action. Someone who speaks indirectly. Someone who rubs you the wrong way."-Urban Dictionary

ah yes, Urban Dictionary - that authoritative tome that absolutely anybody with internet access can write definitions for.

Grampy Panties
The male form of granny panties.

The said "grampy panties" are similar to tidy whities; the panty line is easily discerned through any loose clothing, like basketball shorts, especially if the clothing is a light color. They ride up and make uncomfortable and particulary ass-noying wedgies that, when picked, decrease the overall manly dignity to a measly amount.

Those who wear grampy panties are subject to immediate mockery when the panty line is spotted. If you are discovered as a grampy-wearer, head to the nearest bathroom and remove the grampies and place them in the toilet, so that no-one can make fun of you any longer. Just make sure your name is not written on the tag.

Understood, Sir Tim. A fair point indeed. Many do lack the self esteem and confidence to speak openly and frankly,

both privately and in public. Some who commnicate directly, with candor and courage, do so in a tone of voice which

seems quite strident and shrill. Others may do so in a softer or nuanced style. Ultimately, effective communication

depends more upon the patient, savvy and reciprocal anvils of two ears than the untutored bellows of two pie holes.

you are trying to give advice on effective communication? sheesh. you're right up there with GW Bush in terms of 'articulateness'.

and even he wouldn't come up with something as bad as 'reciprocal anvils'.
