2. Bongor Regis (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/cucumbers/) is Panda Free

3. The world still hates George Dubbya

4. You must have 500 million population to make a new issue for NS =(

5. I like posting in forums too much!

The old bucket over the door trick is considerably more difficult and hazardous(falling bucket) than absolutely necessary.

Here is a considerably safer and easier way to perform an old prank:

Take a paper bag and put a helping of a fine powder(flour, soot, powered sugar, etc) or if the bag is particularly strong and impermeable(coated), you could possibly use a small amount of liquid or semiliquid(eggs, apple sauce or good old water). Make sure the bag is not too full. about 1/3rd full is about right. Fold the bag closed and then place several pieces of 2-sided tape on the bottom of the bag(enough to support the weight of it's contents without ripping the bag in the process). Tuck the folded end of the bag into the top jam of the target door in such a way that the folded tucked in end will keep the contents from emptying out. Then peel off the other side of the tape and stick the bag to the ceiling above the door. When the door opens, the folded open end of the bag will come loose and provide the perfect delay where an unsuspecting person will get liberally doused with chaos and mayhem. :D

Forgot some things and I got kicked off the forum while editing so...

6. I really do love my Dezibear! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/SaintB/dez.jpg)

What all did you learn this week that you want to share?

Aww, you learned from me. :>

Er, I'm Whitemane Gryphons. This is my main nation, but sometimes I forget when I'm logged in as WMG.

7) It's learnt, there's a new thing to learn :p

Egghiccup;12615514']Well hopefully you will learn to spell next week.

'Learnd' requires an 'e' before the d or an ''' (as in Learn'd) for some Shakespearian character.

You'll learn me good American one of these days!

Only if you're a Yank.

We British still use the term "learnt" (well... actually most people say "learned", but that's not technically right).

Egghiccup;12615703']Learned is still used in the courts. - "My learned freind".
Aye, true in that circumstance I guess.
You cannot teach the collonists English. They still hold that the right to 'bear arms' means they can have guns. It clearly means that the early collonists had the right to eat a Bear's arms and the rest of the bear went to the General of the collony.
Well at least it's better than the right to bare arms, which would simply contradict Sharia Law if that ever took place, leading to tragedy if such an event occured.

Egghiccup;12615703']Learned is still used in the courts. - "My learned freind".


Different usage, that is an adjective whereas learnt is the past participle of the verb "to learn"

Egghiccup;12615777']In some towns in Texas having 'bare arms' is a capital offence. Your rifle must be dressed in head to toe gingham or else you is linched.
Heh.

Quite.

Egghiccup;12615782']What about burned and burnt.

Same thing, I think. Burnt toast is toast that has burned.


Edit: except opposite, I just realized...

I like that!

That's it.

4. You must have 500 million population to make a new issue for NS =(

Multiple Dixie cups work in a pinch too. People are generally too tired first thing in the morning, and at least they are on their way to the shower anyway...

Egghiccup;12615682']WTF? There are no good Americans.


:mad: O RLY?

I've learned that our balcony is a really cozy place for birds during the winter cuz a pigeon has given birth under the armchair on our balcony.

my mom will never get on the net as my pc wont let her pc load up a page but it let it have a good connect with the wireless router

'Cuz we've heard they are pandaaaa freeee' :D

That makes it safe for us to plant cucumbers...
