I dunno. I'm pretty awesome riding a unicorn.

You'll need to do better than this.

[Murphie]

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

To start, I'm taller. Also, not French. So I'm already ahead.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

We'll decide if you are really ahead once you've produced your unicorn riding pic.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Oh, Ray. Don't you know that I've tried? The picture produced is so awesome it just melts the cameras.

8:55 Murphie produces unicorn pic.
8:57 Raydeus reports pony spam.

You just ruined my carefully set trap. I hope you are happy now.



But then, it was pretty tough convincing Murphie to actually do it without blowing off my cover.

Britain is nearly getting as fucked up as the US (Note the nearly)

Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and put our junk in the garage.

Only in Britain... do Supermarkets make the sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain... do we buy hot dogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of eight.

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process of Government. 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures.'

Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Not to undermine you Jarre but a lot of those sound pretty familiar to me and I'm not British. Especially the diet coke.

Also, Napoleon was taller than people assume. French inches were longer than imperial inches at the time.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh. It's one of those universal mysteries, and by "mystery" I mean "clever marketing ploy".

Also what Armando said. That stuff's all pretty common outside the UK.

Well Armansi, he's dead now, so I'm still taller.

Yeah, apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, so to speak.

EDIT: Fuuuuuuuuuuuu Murphie.
