An Unimportant Announcement…

58 Replies

This is not a post. This is an announcement to say that a new Wonky Words comment box is open for valued members of the Blogosphere to type words into. As ever, discussion will vary wildly, and will feature in depth analysis on controversial subjects such as:-

Cheese – Is it simply dangerous, or just another cost effective way to insulate the loft?

Pharmaceuticals – A healthy alternative to bar snacks, or just a long word beginning with ‘P’?

Knicker liners with secure fit technology – innovative, or just an expensive upgrade on a wad of loo paper?

Old blog posts – should they be left to rot in the dim and distant past, or brought up to date and refurbished for when you’re short of new ideas?

A tune….

    Mistress B – Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, but you have special powers of a psychic nature!! THIS is this post in it’s original format in 2012. AND, I edited out the discussion re the FGES!!! You are amazing. I am gobsmacked as I’m pretty sure you didn’t ever read the original post!!
    Anyhow, codfanglers – better than nuggets, but not quite a mouthful.

    “eg Pubes, Reg Pubes
    Lend me your great Nog,
    Rollock me fussett
    And griddle me nodes.
    For I want to go-o
    To Ganderpoke Bog, with –
    Len Possett, Tom Screevy, The Reverend Phipps, Peg Leg Loombucket, Solly Levy,
    Ginger Epstein, Able Seaman Trufitt, Scotch Lil, Messrs Cattermole, Mousehabit, Neapthigh and Trusspot, solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths, Father Thunderghast, Fat Alice,
    Con Mahoney, Yeti Rosencrantz, Foo Tong Robinson and Uncle Ted Willis an’ all – and Uncle Ted Willis and all.

    So they all get on – except Fat Alice who don’t get on with anybody, and off they go, but sad to relate – the horse snaps in two and expires – but they do say as how its ghost walks abroad – in two halves, and if you be passing Ganderpoke Bog at midnight they say you can hear the two ghostly halves of the Nog singing in duet – ‘Reg Pubes, Reg Pubes’ and so on.”

    [Will that do? – Ed.]

        I still have to explore THIS helpful Wikipedia page to fully understand Jon’s comment!

      Bravo, Jon! Although this is rather a lot to digest in one reply. I imagine that Mitzi would know all these characters, and would know exactly what to say about them. I, on the other hand, am amused by the idea of a pair of fussy rollocks griddling their nodes – this is possibly a cooking post for the future.
      Thank you!

    Re “knicker liners with secure fit technology” – where the Freakin’ Green Elf Shorts are concerned, it’s best to go with liners made of the same stuff as the heat-resistant re-entry tiles covering the nether regions of the Space Shuttle.

    Oh, and in the absence of dear LẌ, may I just add: “Please can you make it wear big pants. And a knitting pattern would be nice.”

      Savvy – It’s about time I held a competition to honour Mr LX! It must be done. Funny, he’s been on my mind recently, and I visited his old blog and gazed at it for 10 minutes. I miss him.

    I wonder if I could compute all this better if there was a brain update I could download.
    Cheese is for enjoying and you didn’t have that as an option.
    Bar snacks in preference to pharmaceuticals. Oh wait, that wasn’t the question either. Never mind
    I’d like a secure fit with anything that goes in knickers, thanks.
    And refurbished blog posts are not old, they just have patina.

    That’s me. I have patina

      Kylie – You make a strong point about the cheese. I am just bitter because I can no longer enjoy cheese – it makes my ears gloopy and after eating it all I can hear the mucus sloshing about – what’s more, so can everyone else!
      Moving on, in a swift manner, I like the idea of having patina – I also have patina.

    I’m so glad Sav said she’s lost, I came over yesterday and my head exploded so I couldn’t say anything. At least now I can say, ‘cheese, knickers, pharmaceuticals, WHAT?’ And thanks to Kylie for providing another option for cheese.

    I fully insulated my loft with top-quality cheddar cheese some years ago. It was a very reasonable price, courtesy of Del Boy at Trotters Independent Trading Co. I fear anyone going for the cheese option today would be paying about ten times as much due to soaring food inflation. Knicker liners might be a more economical alternative.

      Ms Mistress – Damn it!!! That’s such a good idea! The only bright thing I do with shoes is fit them with plasters to prevent blisters – usually the heel, to stop it rubbing.

        I have a friend who is a keen baker, she uses a pair of old Vans to decorate her cakes! She got the idea after traipsing across a muddy field with her dogs, the next day she put her trainers on and coming off the tread of her Vans were perfect hexagons and diamond mud shapes, all over her kitchen floor, the ideal mould. I don’t know if she uses actual mud on her cakes or if she uses royal icing. I’ll have to ask her.

        Mitzi – That’s a good idea. That really is a good idea! I think I’d only use brand new Vans though, which might be expensive. My Vans have walked through just about everything, though I do shove them in the washing machine occasionally. I guess you could use them for printing and with clay as well.

    No
    Yes
    I don’t know
    Whatever suits the blogger

    I love cheese, it loves me too that’s why it sticks to my hips right? Who needs it in the loft? Nothing but cotton candy up there most day anyways.

    I only need drugs to help me fly. So I don’t scare the other passengers, you know. Just tranq the tiger and lets be on our way.

    When it comes to technology in our knickers I wonder about what kind of woman allows AI to figure out the best setting for her orgasms. Apparently, it’s a thing. I’m not sure if I should I salute their bravery or stand and in a stupor and stare. Leaning towards the latter though. Barbarella didn’t prepare me for this possibility.

    I’m a bit late to this opened comment box.
    Rambling Syd Rumpo – now that’s great name. The comments above resulted in a short lesson on English folk songs and this BBC radio (radio? really will the wireless telegraph be next?) character.
    Back to your questions posted.
    Cheese – I avoid it. Our government with their farm policy decades ago made it too inexpensive and marketing departments of food conglomerates put it on most everything. People loved it and now we have an obesity problem.
    Pharmaceuticals – Big Pharma – over priced health. I guess, they are working on the obesity problem.
    Knicker liners – a big improvement over loo paper wads
    Old blog posts – yes the best question of the post. Refurbish them. If they are more than a year old who will remember? Of course you must do more than sticking a knicker liner on them.
    Oh the joy of confusion.

    Forgot to mention that after I insulated the loft with cheddar, an army of mice appeared and ate the lot. Perhaps something less edible would have been a better choice.
