BONKS must have
much comedy potential.

I managed to run a "YAY" through a "LABIA" the other day. In a game of Scrabble, of course.

has anyone noticed the glaring errors in this game
japan is a proper name and its on a triple score ya big cheats
(cheebatv, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:37, archived)

Japan is a proper noun
but it is also in the Official Scrabble Words book, so it is good enough for me. For every other imaginary mistake, check the spaz.

Under normal circumstances I'd laugh like a loon.
But that Bush/Blair toss from the Azores has soured what was a fucking great weekend for me. Sounds like war will break out on Wednesday or Thursday. Cnuts. I'm going to go and call my family and tell them I love them, then say the same thing to my wife. Maybe play some good music, and try to calm down this horrible feeling of impending doom. Sorry to bring things down.
( pxyzyzygy, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:19, archived)

impending doom? "war"?
war implies they have some kind of a chance. do you honestly think america would start a war where they didn't outnumber and outgun them 100:1?
( bananaman, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:21, archived)

I've said that all along..
You can't call it a war unless Iraq does something major, like bombing America, which they won't because they'd be pounced upon by pretty much every other country.

If I'm wrong..so what, I'm just a kid!
( dogsbollocks, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:23, archived)

you can't call it a war
if it'll be over in a month.

america hasn't been involved in a "war" since vietnam, and they're not going to do all that again. britain hasn't since WWII
( bananaman, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:25, archived)

We just had an evacuee from WWII
in our History class...she said it was a right laugh..which makes me think she wasn't really an evacuee...
( dogsbollocks, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:26, archived)

the evacuees were all ten though.
what do ten year olds know?
( bananaman, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:28, archived)

Actually
She was 4..so yeh...

She did give us all a chocolate egg though so..woo!

Not every child
was evacuated during the war my dad wasn't and twice he was pulled out of the rubble of buildings that had been blown up, I don't think he would describe it as a laugh.
(thursley, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:41, archived)

indeed, war is not a good thing.
my grandad nearly had a large piece of shrapnel kill him in his sleep during the war, when he was only a kid. if he hadn't gotten up to go to the loo, he'd have been in his bed, when something rather nasty landed on it.

Hey, we had a
"conflict" in '82...might not have been a war but buggered if i'd liked to have been involved.

What about 'nam
They out-numbered and out-gunned and were out-classed.

they learnt their lesson
now it's only wars where they know the others don't stand a chance.

What's awful is
that I don't think there's anything that will stop Bush from punishing Saddam for humiliating his daddy in '91. I think if every single person in America went into the streets and protested, Bush would still attack Iraq. Nobody -- and I mean NOBODY -- that I know is in favor of war. It doesn't seem to matter to Bush.

i was told
was was possible tommorow.

Anyway, whenever it is announced, everyone walkout of school, work, college, wherever.
Just sit at home and don't spend any money or work or anything, if they're going to bomb other countries and get us bombed, I'm fucked if i'm putting in any effort for them.

i think dj hetz's was the only honest way to protest for peace.
going onto the streets and shouting rar rar rar! is all a bit militant, and unfriendly. if everyone stayed at home, had some mates round and had a party, and everyone wanted peace, it might not change anything, but it'd be more fun. it's not like they're going to listen to a million people going on a march, anyway.
( bananaman, Sun 16 Mar 2003, 21:24, archived)

i met a bloke last year
who was trying to organise a big "party for peace" - the idea being that such a big event would be as good a demonstration as any that people don't want wars.

unfortunately nothing came of it.. but it was a good idea

er...
far be it from me to point out the obvious, but what good does bringing our own country to a standstill do? should everyone stop working? the emergency services? the people who produce & sell you the food you need to live? the army of geeks who keep the interweb running? where would we be then?

wasn't the interweb designed
