I did not even cry

Although let’s face it, the lino itself is enough to make you weep.

I remember doing that with a bottle of freshly pumped breastmilk. And I sobbed.

Oh, yeah, I’ve sobbed for breastmilk.

That lino is spectaclear. The milk spill looks a bit like Michael Mouse.

Dropping some cow’s milk is just a pain in the arse. Breastmilk spillages have also made me cry.

That was my first thought too – oh no! Not breastmilk?

Thank god it was bovine.

Is there glass in that there milk tho?
Zoe

No glass, just about a third of a carton of the fancy pants organic milk.

And Fyodor, you should see the rest of the joint ; ) Every wall a feature wall!

Do cows cry at spilled cow’s milk? (So many big questions, so few dairy farmers to ask)

Do you have a wallpaper feature wall in a rock wall print? My parents had one of them. The rest of the room had a print similar to your lino. The major benefit to such decor is you don’t get too upset about crayon & texta getting on non-paper surfaces.

Aargh. Ze goggles. Zey do nussink. Rather fetching shade of brown on the chipboard veneer, however.

A propos of something completely different, it appears that the Jane Austen industry has overtaken shipping in its importance to the UK economy.

I dare you to read the last paragraph without spilling your milk.

Your standards are slipping, boxhead. That link reads like sliced bits from the Onion, making baby Jesus cry.
Fail.

Haiku, if I may say so your teaching methods do leave a bit to be desired. News parody isn’t newfangled – just ask those derivative hacks at The Chaser.

Also, the postie bikes clip was better.

Put me out of my memory-deficient misery, F, and remind me which thread I posted that in.
Meanwhile, here’s an education method that should cause some tears.

Dude, did you just rickroll me with a shithouse tweenpop cover? That is, like, way harsh.

But two can play at that game.

Put me out of my memory-deficient misery, F, and remind me which thread I posted that in.

Ah, now you’ve put me on the spot – so many threads, so many lulz…

Easier to find the clip.

Yeah, sorry about that, it was uncalled for and I was wrong to do it. Let me try to make amends with a Rikroll. You know I’m gonna lose, and gambling’s for fools, but that’s the way I like it baby, etc. etc.

Feck me. Motörhead on TYO, from the CLASSIC UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE EPISODE featuring Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson [schwing], Hugh Laurie, Ben Elton AND Griff Rhys-Jones?

All is forgiven. I am not worthy.

All I know, Fyodor, is that milk spillage makes great stoush. (ffw to 2:35 or so)

Laugh, Reggie? I nearly went to Ethiopia. Hey, didn’t you kill my brother?
… By the way, that does look like a tasty beverage.

Oh my goodness. I’ve just gotten around to watching that man dressed as a bear singing Umbrella. So that’s how they play squeezebox in whatthefuckistan, eh? Wow.

I see fed people.

Anyway back off topic and speaking of You Tube horror, brace yourself for this.

Actually the band’s pretty tight. Turn the cheek tight in the bass player’s case. It’s just…just…the whole concept and execution leaves skars on the psyche.

Perhaps now you need a a little palate cleanser?. Now that’s how to grove the kids while sporting wide satin lapels.

See Zoe, this is what happens when you start pandering to your base base.

About fucking time you showed up, Old Skool.

Palate cleanser Nabakov? Set the table, open a bottle and put a bowl aside for steel shot. Mmmm, whatthefuckistan cuisine.

Whut, no rejoinder yet?
Here’s a fresh one.
Where's your second safety?
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:51 pm

That’s minty fresh, Prince Haiku, but the reason for my delay* is that I’m trying to stop myself from declaring that Heidi Wilson is exceedingly milfy and I want to see her jellywrestle Nigella in the newd. My money’s on Nige, but I reckon Heidi would fight dirty…

…uh-oh. Whoops. Baby Jesus has to bake a kitteh-melt now.

Meanwhile, back in Whatthefuckistan the entertainment options are limited.

They do have fracking cool fighters, however.

I reckon Nigella’d deck ‘er in the pecker, motherfecker. IYKWIMAITYD.
Entertainment options? I’ll take electro-disco-cake.

Heh. I can’t believe you went past this one.

Which reminds me of yet more goddamned motherfucking evidence that that douchebag George Lucas should have been shot after ROTJ to prevent the juvenile fuckwit from ruining the Holy Trilogy with those clusterfucked abominations he calls prequels.

children… you are indeed a cack. haven’t had me such a giggle in yonks.

although, dear Fyodor, in your list of wond’rousness you left out Mel Smith as the security guard on University Challenge. shame!

and I reckon the hair and that pair of yellow… pants? can they be called pants? they cover the vitals but burn the eyes. sweet lordy. so, yes, the hair and the pants are going to give me nightmares tonight. the sort I haven’t had since the administration of too much pethidine. those poncy lads

oh btw, Zoe: better get that spill checked for melamine.

Guilty as charged, m’lady. However, in my feeble defence, I was distracted by Emma Thompson.

October 8th, 2008 at 12:18 am

all good… I don’t think many people can resist Emma “She Glows” Thompson in mindless prat giggle mode. or any other mode, really.

I’ll be in the next bunk with inappropriate thoughts of Gryff.
The Munificent...erm...Three
October 8th, 2008 at 7:48 am

I’ll take Emma Thompson any way she comes.

“She Glows”?

I’m sorry, but I have to segue now to something not altogether different:

“Your wife. Does she, glow, eh? Does she glow, eh? Say no mo-ah! Nudge, wink etc.”
Liam
October 8th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, as they say. Except when it’s not any good at all.
worldpeace and a speedboat
October 8th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

you don’t think she glows?

it’s what a friend of our used to say, with a misty look in his eye. “Emma… she glows…”

and then a few years later he came out. guffaw!

Fyodor: it was someone else who really did come out! Harry’s still in the closet.

What, never? Hardly ever!*

I have to say I rather like “Never gonna give you up etc.” and I get a perverse thrill out of being Rickrolled. There. I’ve said it. Baby Jesus now has to cover a Bad News song**. [Please to be watching up to and past 7:37]

* Yes, I know. Don’t be tiresome.
** See above.

Good lord what a lovely thread this was. Zoe, when are you going to get phoney tough again here?
Zoe

Well, you want to know what happened?
Fyodor

Grind.

Tops thread it was.

Zoe, I thought you had kinda forgotten this blog in favour of Nigellishness?
Zoe
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:03 pm

I had, Fyodor, but seeing that big white screen saying “index” with nothing underneath it made me realise there’s space on the internet for continuing to crack myself up.

No promises, mind, and how about them bears?
Fyodor

…there’s space on the internet for continuing to crack myself up.

Unassailable logic, Mme. Every blog should have one.
