Celandine Madame Flutterbye Registered: 01/18/04 Posts: 19514 Loc: SopranoLand	Pretty much like our friend padmavyuha, the United Kingdom take delight in word play, riddles, puzzles and double (often triple) entendres That's why we Americans can only get a single layer of "Monty Python's Flying Circus"... They take delight in pushing the use of the "English" language way beyond the envelope. Parenthesis because even the language itself is broken down into sub-sets that they ALL insist is the Purest Form of..... w/e Queen's English, Common English, Australian English and American English... "...and never the twain shall meet." over-all it's pretty harmless with no offense intended. _________________________ ____

Celandine Madame Flutterbye Registered: 01/18/04 Posts: 19514 Loc: SopranoLand	I'm still trying to figure out what htfu even means, but due to the 12/14 hour time difference, I'm not about to hold my breath. _________________________ ____

Reboot Muhahahaha Registered: 04/22/02 Posts: 15046 Loc: Columbus OH	Originally Posted By: Celandine I'm still trying to figure out what htfu even means, I'd say in this case Heath Franklin's Chopper's tag line. NSFW obviously. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
