I just stroll innocently and make it look organic, like in that Simpsons episode where Abe strolls into the burlesque house, see's that Bart is working the door, collects his hat and strolls back out, all in one motion. Piece of piss, and you don't have to endure looking like a fanny.

Stroll is a great word.

I do this at work all the time. Get up from my desk to go to the kitchen then halfway there start thinking about something, get distracted and end up at the toilet wondering why I'm there. Usually then look down at the empty mug and mumble something about where the hell am I going before turning round and aiming for the right place.

Misuse of apostrophes - Bad

Intentionally spelling words wildly wrong - REALLY COOL.

You know grammar covers everything from punctuation to spelling, right? Where's the consistency?

Jesus Christ on a bendybus. I'm starting to see why you gained your reputation as being an insufferable cunt.

I went to the Emin exhibition in Edinburgh last year (I think it was last year) and it was actually pretty good. She's completely crazy, but it was quite clear there's a lot of emotion in her pieces. Even the unmade bed!

.

I also 'enjoyed' that! A lot of her art is a working-out of her emotional state visually. It was a very moving exhibition. A lot of the previous arguments against 'modern' art are based on an admiration of skill/technique only....and most stuff nowadays is conceptual...and I can't be arsed arguing against the arguments against it!:up:

(Arguments against 'modern' music ditto).

Those porn profiles that destroyed Bebo have found their way on to Facebook. ("Tiffany Makoeana has added you as a friend." Then when you look at the profile it's just a picture of some model and a link to a porn / dating site "See me take off my tiny panties at www. etc!"

I wondered how Facebook managed to keep them at bay for so long. I had to delete my Bebo page cos I was getting like 20 requests and 20 emails a day from all these porn bastards.

Like this.

Telling people at work that I'm incorporating a lunchtime 'powerwalk' into my getting more fit routine (I need it badly), hearing them say it's a cracking idea, then hearing a couple of them offering me a lift every single lunchtime without fail.

People at work who never tidy the fridge or put away their dishes.

People at work in a supervisory capacity who never take anything you say on board.

(Can anyone tell I'm searching like fuck for a new job yet?)

:down:

But in many cases pretentious bastards "see" things that the author/director/painter/whoever simply didn't intend to be there in the first place. I lasted one class of film studies at University before I got fed up of the tutor trying to tell me that Bum Stroker's Dracula was some sort of allegory for the Vietnam war, or something.

When I was a student, I once had an arguement with one of my friends as she claimed to have learned in her film studies class that the shark's mouth in Jaws was meant to be symbolic of a vagina. No...it was meant to be symbolic of a blood-thirsty great white shark. She claimed that when it opened its mouth it was meant to look like a vag or something.

I'm sure if you went to the right bars you could find a lass or two with a dorsal fin over their chuff but I'm yet to see one and I'm pretty sure Spielberg would agree with me.

She was maybe getting confused with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth_(film)

The guys that come in to Morrisons at 10am everyday with their change counted out with hundreds of coppers and 5p's. Kinda feel sorry for them at the same time, how much do you need to fuck up your life before you find yourself there a few years down the road?

does morrisons hae that machine that you lob all your loose change that counts it and prints you a barcode that can be used as credit in the shop?

i ken they take a cut of it maybe it isnt worth it for the 2.27 for a 10 richmond superkings

it would save you counting it out, although you'd have to rely on the customer to have this idea first to avoid being a prick telling them to go do it. cant see your boss's being happy if you did that either but it's an idea

Aw man, all we did in Film Studies was talk about how stuff was either a penis or a vagina. It got to the point where one of our lecturers was making a fairly far-fetched point about some spaceship or other looking like a vagina AND being phallic at the same time. One of the students had enough and just asked what the fuck that had to do with anything we'd been talking about up to that point (which was nothing). You can read sexual imagery into almost anything, and sometimes it will be relevant. Other times it's just film students seeing how many times they can fit the word 'penis' and 'vagina' into an essay/presentation.

Correct. I thought I'd just used it in an email, but on going back to check that my unconnected use of the word had in fact taken place, I found I'd missed the word out completely. Arse.

I was talking about this film last week, but I can't remember who to. This annoys me.
