Wait, Sunday School makes you gay? For the first time ever I believe we have a lead on what my mother did wrong.

Here's my tip - for what it's worth. When walking along Takapuna Beach with dogs offleash, do not smile.
Pff, Jackie, people look at me funny when I dance in the supermarket too - but why else would they be playing music?

Baking Soda. Is there anything it can't do??
A cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar (ha!) followed by three cups of boiling water will:
a)unblock drains
b)entertain your children -
I find lesbians mostly invisable
Whoa, lesbians have super-powers? Ace.
A guy I didn't know (school gates can be weird places) once told me that he told his kids not to look at 'those people'. This led to a satisfyingly ironic conversation about how easy it is to spot gay people.
The TVNZ Charter seems to have 'forgotten' their obligation to this community.
Hey, they're playing Torchwood.

And I believe we have a winner, and it's xkcd again.

Piss. Preview, always preview. Bolding tag ruins what I swear was a great joke.

Has anyone else noticed that on the Herald's "your poos" column any word with ass in it, like pass, class or even passive gets gets the * treatment, whereas the good old arse gets a clear run?
That's beautiful that is. I love profanity filters so much I want to ** the out of them.

I'm not a great fan of discourse analysis (although, yes, I do realize that I'm being a stereotypical engineer in saying that)
Ha, I believe we have Arts papers in common, Haywood.
Sometimes tone conveys more. My sadly deceased Granny could put so much feeling into the two words "that Miggie" that if Thatcher had been within 100 miles she would have frizzled up and dissolved into a smoking acidic puddle.
I was trying to remember back to when I was a rabid teenage lefty radical, listening to Billy Bragg in damp Wellington student flats and bitching about Thatcher. I can't remember any particular poo-phrases, but there was certainly some mindless vitriol. She shared with Clark the 'pleasure' of frequently being portrayed as grotesquely unfeminine.
For the record, teaching someone all the words to The Red Flag by making her skull every time she made a mistake is NOT the most effective teaching technique.

it really irks me when players/coaches/commentators talk about single players in the plural
That bugs me too, to the point of making me argue with the radio, which clearly can't hear me.
It's not as grating, though, as listening to interviews with players where they feel the need to say 'y'know' about every three words.
