you know what? october, isn't it?
"all that comes before me is grist"

meaning: someone who makes the most of any situation presented to him. 'Grist' is what millers call the wheat that goes into the mill to make flour, and a good miller would puts all sorts of other shit in his grist, whether it was dirt or chalk or pubic dandruff

You fucking moron.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:16, Reply)

depends on your definition of good
in the olden days they wanted as much produce as possible, so they'd put any old shit int here with the flour

i saw it on horrible histories. you dick
(quintsy, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:20, Reply)

Doesn't make them good millers though does it you Captain Placid.
It makes them fucking rip off merchants.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:21, Reply)

if i was a rich lord with lots of land and lots of mills and i wanted to sell lots of flour
i'd think they were good millers

Now the good captain would only grind his grain strictly between the hours of 9-5
Anything outside of that would be considered slavery.

Don't forget his hour lunch break.
He's *entitled*
( Kroney, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:23, Reply)

And if any of the other millers asked him to help shift a couple of bags of grain to one side to make their job a bit easier
he'd be quick to point out that such work was well outside of his job description and that they should fuck off.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:27, Reply)

and tbh poor people who were running out of flour in winter in the middle ages or whatever
would put ash in it to make it go further

(quintsy, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:22, Reply)

Yeah it's the fact they ate some dandruff, that they're not alive today.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:25, Reply)

i don't think dandruff is lethal
....i hope?
(quintsy, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:26, Reply)

Yep, it is.
Population control, innit. They're still doing it now, otherwise we'd all be immortal. It's not immediately lethal, but it is toxic. It builds up in your system and once you get enough, you die.

Do you also like unicorns?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:17, Reply)

I am ambivalent about unicorns.
Much in the same way as I have no strong feelings either way about Kroney.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:19, Reply)

I can't say I've ever met one.
But, on balance, I'd say they were probably better than a child-molesting tiger.
( Kroney, Mon 1 Oct 2012, 13:19, Reply)

do you even have a cat?
You'll probably strap it onto your girlfriend so you can finally live the fantasy of fucking a unicorn
