OT Things to ponder

What if the two brothers and two sisters had the same two parents who happened to be fraternal twins? I was born in West Virginia, I've heard of things like that. [:'(]

If you were truly born in WV, you would have used the correct description "West By God Virginia"
Those of us born there, know this .......[:-]

Oh no. There's more than one gorn in this forum. And he has seniority. What am I to do? I can either defect to a forum that discusses the intricacies of tiddley-winks, or I can submit to his commands. What shall I do?

[geofflambert]

Perhaps he can command me to be more attractive, handsomer and more intelligent than I have been in the past. I would make every attempt to comply. He might order me to be more clever and make better jokes than I have in the past.
I'm not sure that is even possible but I will endeavor to comply.

I know what Lecivius was complaining about. It was this: http://www.omaha.com/news/world/italian ... b4fb1.html

I'm sorry but this is an unacceptable preversion by an Italian prevert. When I was a boy scout, they taught us that before giving mouth-to-mouth you were to take a needle and pin the subject's tongue to his lip to keep him from swallowing his tongue and choking to death on it (a needle and thread were a part of our kit we were to have on our persons at all times). Then you were to blow hard into his mouth while holding his nostrils shut three times. Next you were to do chest compressions for about 5 to 10 times (I don't remember how many). Nowadays they say skip the mouth to mouth and just do chest compressions. If the guy swallows his tongue and you don't blow it back out with your compressions, you're not pressing hard enough. This Italian sailor endangered this poor little kitten's life by engaging in this preverted desire to do something French in its mouth. I would be militating for charges to be filed against him, but somehow the kitten survived. I will now be able to feed a live kitten to one of my lady gorn friends.

Every time I hear "prevert", I think of Dr. Strangelove and the following immortal line...

Keenan Wynn, an irreplaceable resource.

Remember, Major Bat Guano [:D]thought that Peter Seller's character Group Captain Mandrake was a prevert simply based on his British accent. Now, while I am somewhat sympathetic with Group Captain Mandrake, I am confident that we have allowed far too many Britishers to migrate to our continent. We must establish limits. All our news currently is pronounced with an English accent. This state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue. We've had enough problems with Canadians crossing our borders, they can pass as US most of the time. But all these Brits showing up in our media is a bridge too far.

Sez the guy with the very sheepish, but British last name! Maybe you lost your accent because your ancestors converted to Gornism and couldn't enunciate as well with their thick forked tongues? But never mind - those tongues had to be good for other things ....

[geofflambert]

Sez Nanook of the North. I think you can find variations of "Lambert" throughout Western Europe. I've seen Lambrecht and Lambertini for instance. You see it in France too, but England and France had a long incestuous relationship anyway. My father's family was from there and my mother's from Wales.

Warspite is representing great Britain in Rio! Note his clever disguise.

Gorn with no accent: "Grrrrr!"

Gorn with an accent: "Grrrrr, eh?"

And who could forget Tracey Reed? She would have been in the mine shaft for sure...

(This post really should be in the Australian Beauties thread but Warspite will never find out.)

Sometimes when I'm on rescue missions to ships in deep space (being a pirate) I go "Arrrrrrrrrgh).

Gadzooks - I've been Lambasted!

Don't ever tell your mother she was from England! [:-]
Saying "Britain" is marginally OK since it is more inclusive.

Ahrrr yes! Isaac Newton's more interesting brotherrr. The world is truly a betterrr place because of his contributions to pi-rate portrayal! Wouldn't youse agreeeeee?

[geofflambert]

Do you think we can get Alfred to do a "Talk like a pirate" thread? I want to be sure I'm doing it right.
