Well, that sure explains a few things. The American pkgs have more z's in them but we get shorted on u's.

I steal mine from Frank Donovan (he buys his in bulk so never notices when a few go missing).

Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?

So that blind people can hate them as well.

Oh, I notice. But as you always steal my choicest insults, I can't say anything to you without using all of that cheap Aussie vernacular I pick up in fire sales. And Shane has first dibs on those.

But if you still keep my words with their original file numbers, consider yourself a thieving #772, who can stick his #3,369 up his #455/455B.

Made me think for a while. (pauses and looks at qwerty keyboard) How we write or type is to be considered before taking grammar police as an online profession. Possible explanation for the Your and You're/Youre conundrum. Much easier (or lazier) to type in your than you're using desktop and much more with mobile phones. Autocorrect doesn't fix stupidity/ignorance/laziness. Go figure.

Thanks

When you slay a foe in battle, you absorb all of their letters.

I almost have all the vowels...

G, day MATE!!!! Hi, Cobber, how's the strife and stumps?

Sprouting, and moaning as usual, but at least the jumbuck in my tuckerbag is kicking!

Planning on a roast, Niah, not until the wombat wakes up and moves out of the way!

Never, uh!

Yep, not until the crow does handstands in the nearest black stump!

Bye...

Bugger off!!!!

In what language do men put hats over dirty, stringy hair, take off their shirt...and try to appear intellectually compelling? Hard to listen to the theories when my eyes are going "yuck!".

Sometimes I capture words trapped in the vacuum of my mind - other days I just pull them out of my.. ...never mind.

Of course he spelled it correctly. He has the Fobia.

I'm confused a bit because I thought everybody knew the 76th Greatest Comic
Book Villain of all time.

Now that I know it's not common knowledge, I'll try using it - and my lab puppy - to meet
more women.

Would that be the lab puppy you named "Kang the Conqueror"?

You're lucky, your eyes prevented your ears from rebelling. Trust me, intellectually compelling it wasn't. At least not the first 30-40 seconds or so. That's all I could listen to.
