Yeah, we're both "The"-something-something b3tans
Like all the "The" bands that the NME seem to read so much into. Is a band's name better with a "The" on the front? Is it better without? Does anybody who actually lives a vaguely meaningful live give the remotest shard of a shit? Fuck me, I hate the NME. _{Not least because they seem to inspire most of my male students to behave and dress like a bunch of complete fucking ponces...}

Oh, and just to confuse you further: The Oscillating Gibbon is a chemistry chap.

NME:
Increasing poncy-ness since 1952.

More that most of the time I read by shape :p
Starts with "The".

"Is about |-----------------------| that long."
HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?!?!?!?!

Oh, wait, you meant my name...

I've only just realised your name is crow.
I've been reading it for weeks as the Supreme Cow

/checks self for udders
...would you prefer me as a cow?

Only if you trample David Blunkett

And get the job done this time

Hmm...
Might be easier to remain a crow. Then I can peck out his eyes. He won't be needing them any time soon...
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 10:02, Reply)

What would be the point then?
Surely you'd be better off pecking out something that he needs... like his heart!


Edit: Actually, he probably wouldn't even miss it.

Good point.
And I'm sure heart tastes nicer than eyeball.

Could peck the eyeballs out of Nick Griffin, though - the only way to ensure that his "Now-with-100%-less-racism" party is truly colour-blind...

I may have missed it
but have we gotten to the bottom yet of how Mr Blunkett knew it was a cow and not a bull?

Because his dog told him
No...wait, that's silly. He must have groped the animal.

(Well, it was his birthday)
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 10:26, Reply)

Groped as in
Kimberley Quinn?!

I don't want to be known as...
one of the "The (something something) b3tans!!

Don't worry,
Looks like we'll be known as one the "The+about |-----------------------| that long" b3tans.

I've been forced to add a disclaimer to my sig :(
