SWF LOCKDOWN CARD - 7.20.05!

[Toxxic]

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I honestly believe that becase you spelt a word wrong in a subsequent post, you are a lousy booker. What ho, old chap.

 

*Has a crumpet*

[JJ Johnson]

To focus on the tea and knickers is to ignore the veracity of the cigars what bear his name.

 

Take it out on Seth McFarlane.

 

 

And what in God's name is a crumpet? I've never found that out. All I know is that apparently, it goes well with tea.

[devo]

It's a sort of baked good. It is designed to go with tea, so you've got most of the description right already.

[JJ Johnson]

I also knew it was baked, but is it like a biscuit? Or a brownie? Or what?

[Toxxic]

Difficult to describe. A crumpet is a round item, perhaps the diameter of an average jam jar and maybe 1cm thick. It has a spongy texture and is usually toasted or grilled to make it hot and slightly crispy before your choice of topping is applied. I recommend jam.

[JJ Johnson]

Ah, like an English muffin. And what do you guys call English muffins? Just muffins?

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, judging by Toxxic's description, JJJ, apparently they call them crumpets. If his description is to be believed, I'm guessing that's exactly what they are, in which case, I can't imagine why one would go out of their way to have them with tea...

[janusd]

English muffins and crumpets are two entirely seperate things. One learns these things being Australian. (Y)

[Toxxic]

I have no idea what an English muffin is. The only sort of muffin I know is a round cakey thing with a vaguely mushroom appearance.

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

Two perhaps little-known facts about Churchill:

 

He liked them chocolates what got all that Kahlua inside.

 

His corpulence is a result of his penchant for eating Nazi babies.

[JJ Johnson]

Huh. Didn't know that first one.

[King Cucaracha]

Crumpets are overrated. It's like a big, round, chewy piece of toast.

 

If we're going for British stereotypes, fish and chips is where it's at.

[JJ Johnson]

And watch cricket. That's a must. Add a funny hat, and we've COMPLETELY STEREOTYPED the British people. Unless there's something I'm missing.

 

Let's see...tea, crumpets, fish n' chips, funny hat, cricket...OH, bad teeth.

[King Cucaracha]

And watch cricket. That's a must. Add a funny hat, and we've COMPLETELY STEREOTYPED the British people. Unless there's something I'm missing.

Well, tea and crumpets are out, don't wear hats and my teeth aren't that bad. Cricket is a-okay, but I can't straight watch it. If it's playing in the background, it's fine.

 

Then again, I'm hardly a 'British' Brit. If I notice myself pronouncing words...you know, correctly, I've been known to stop myself and correct it to the more American slur that professional wrestling and a good % of British TV has brought me up on. England is pretty much "America Lyte" nowadays, with our rising crime rate and wide range of fast-food outlets.

[JJ Johnson]

Yes, but we're going by STEREOTYPES, which don't necessarily reflect the way it really is.

[janusd]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

That's what everyone says when people mention muffins... maybe it's just one of those queer foreign inventions, these "English" muffins.

[Toxxic]

You mean like 'American' Football? Yeah, maybe.

 

I'm with Landon on the 'cricket in the background' thing. Fish 'n chips is nice though. As for pronounciation, I worked very hard as a child to eliminate my posh accent. As I result, I now sound merely middle-class.

[JJ Johnson]

So, does your describing the opposite of death sound more like "life" then "loif" now?

[Chuck Woolery]

You just wait until we announce the new Lockdown commissioner. It'll be a hoot.

 

On a related note, the Dirty South hates the SWF.

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

Since when, Mike? I do not recall receiving a memo in regards to this matter.

[JJ Johnson]

It'll be a hoot.

 

Oh God, I hope it's not Owl from Winnie the Pooh. He's an asshole.

[Toxxic]

You just wait until we announce the new Lockdown commissioner.  It'll be a hoot.

 

 

It's gotta be Cyclone Comet. That would rule.

 

And JJ - if I said 'loif' I'd sound like a farmer. If I said 'hlife' I'd sound posh.

[Chuck Woolery]

Since when, Mike?  I do not recall receiving a memo in regards to this matter.

Well, the large black man at the front desk of my hotel (in lovely Buckhead, Georgia) asked me what the fuck I was looking at. So, I assumed he hates us.

[JJ Johnson]

Sic Thugg on him.

 

 

The SWF: "Fighting fire with fire, and angry black men with angry black men"

[Zack Malibu]

Tell him your best friends with a Hispanic streetfighter that has problems with anger management. That'll teach 'em.

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

Buckhead, Georgia? What the hell is there?

[JJ Johnson]

My only guess would be a family member. You don't exactly see "Come on down to Buckhead" commercials.

[Hank Kingsley]

Match sent.

 

Damn you, JJ and Pretzler and Zyon and Manson for writing such good and close matches that it took forever and a day to decide.

 

Please continue!

[JJ Johnson]

Pretzler gets credit on the basis of suggesting spots to use.
