LIVE FORUM GIBBERISH! Talk nonsense. Posted Sat Nov 18 14:24:42 GMT 2000 by 'Phil'

I have a dog a merry dog, he is happy in his life and work. He eats the house occasionally but this is nothing to worry about as I can make a new one from sticks. His name is Bob the dog and his fur is made from plastic and he can fly on windy days. Occasionally he robs the bank but this is also nothing to worry about because the bank customers accept this and therefore nothing will ever do any good.

The 11 O Clock Show is very promising and extremely good comedy.

Are you the Phil who posted his web site address in the 'Blatant Self-Publicity" thread a while back?

I thought that site was hilaaaaarious.

I'm going to look like a very stupid ex-Radiophonic Workshop composer if I get this wrong, but it was a site featuring pictures of Thor and a lot of (not especially funny) whimsy about a dog. Can't remember the link. It was the dog stuff in the first posting that reminded me.

People with arts degrees too have a place in the world, due to their talent to write long words in long essays. This means they are ideally equipppppped to work in many and varied industries, from bio-chemistry to topology. Degrees in science subjects are, however, by and large useless, leading normally to jobs in MacDonalds. Praise the arts.

Oi, don't take the piss!

Yes, that was me. The thread was a cheap stunt to plug my website. There was one picture of The Mighty Thor and couple of crap stories. I'll make a better one soon.

Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, mother, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.

(Perfectly ordinary words, but never before in that order. Do you see?)

I'm sure someone has said parts of that before, ergh it's too early to be cynical or trivial.

Seventy-three of them were tearing in the grocery, all red and clinical spouting mange at every dipthong. Westlife decomposed me in his christology, the bears making red, panning under mix.

He ate Queen, gushing rapaciously in how statement, that sort of thing. Flowers declaimed nefarious qualia of Holsten mythos whence me rummed Bletchley out thine gustatory glance.

George Carlin, specifically.

And was that really Paddy "Flying Saucer Land" Kingsland? Or just a rather bizarre imposter?

If that was you Paddy, please tell me where I can get a copy of your theme to PM. Thanks.

Bugger it. I've had to go back and consult my records, and no they didn't. Carlin did have an entire routine (in about 1975) about constructing entire sentences with perfectly ordinary words that no-one had ever said before (e.g. "Hand me that piano") and came perilously close to the "newsreader's nose" quote; however as soon as you mentioned F&L, a vague memory of Stephen Fry speaking those very words begin to swim up towards me (like a shark through soup, etc), and made me realise that I'd misremembered and rather glibly misattributed the quote. All apologies.

*bangs tray on head*
