Unutterably Silly The Bilbo1967 Honorary Trophy thread

Omg, i wonder what montsnmags will say to this one...

• My username comes from a nickname at work where a mentor had the nickname Gandalf.
• I really have no comment on the size of your bum.
• Yes please, pint of bitter please.

And some questions of my own:

How did you know I have hairy feet?
What is Surströmming?
When can I expect my Bilbothy to be delivered?



Bilbo

Thanks a lot for your post, little hobbit. Unfortunately i've no clue what "Surströmming" is.

[UncleDuke]

i'm a little tea pot, short and stout
here is my handle, here is my spout

but enough about me, let's talk about me

i was a roads scholar who majored in hitchhiking
for a while i panned for gold and free meals
these days i write a bunch, read a lot, and have miranda rights read to me

OK, first of all: The fish is not blue, most of the time. The one beside it is the blue one next to the fish.


Adrian is an interdimensional gibbon with a bad temper. He is NOT Marc nor his alter ego, but is a fully sentinent ape with perpetual PMS. You can't see him, but you can sort of feel him watching you. Oh, and I almost forgot that he can manipulate time for his own purposes.

BTW, there are a bunch of scientists and/or brainy hobbyist physicists around here, so feel free to pick a particle and jump in. Nobody is grading us - Thank Heaven!

I really don't wish to sound rude, but your picture is scaring the bejesus out of me.

As to the explanation of the fish, yes... that sounds reasonable... of course... Uh huh...

(What in the name of all that's holy is she talking about???? The physicists in the next room discussing string theory again are making more sense!)

Yes, times three. Sadly, the Geneva Convention on foods of mass indigestion prevent me from knowing about Surstromming (though a Finnish friend did threaten me with a tin once, but since I was flying, I escaped still a Surstomming virgin).

Why can't you get to the next Paris get-together?

Because I'm saving up for an antipodean one?

Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Monty Python or Will Ferrell? (Helpful clue: don't say "Will Ferrell")

Yes, Yes, Yes, who? Oh, and Stross' Laundry.

Do you like dogs, cats, or both?

Is this trick question? What about llamas?

Are you for or against Cannibalism-Friday?

Depends. Who's on the menu? (Please note, no reference intended to the Abbot and Costello joke.)

Can you lend me $15?

Certainly. Could I have $20 to pay you with?

Why did you pick your username?

Please interchange subject and object.

Why did you pick that shirt to go with those pants?

Because my common sense took the other shirt when it eloped with my sanity to Hawaii to set up the tea shop.

Does my bum look big in this?

Does it matter?

In a poll do you vote for:
A. The right answer
B. The just answer
C. The wrong answer
D. Ignore Ravenne and vote for the blue one next to the fish

F (wait long enough and there's always another option. Not that it matters; the software has evolved Chicagoian tendencies.)

What's the difference between a duck?

Can I get you a drink?

I dunno? Can you?

Those two things may be connected. I'd recommend continuing posting until you understand every single one of Marc's posts....

I believe Marc has survelliance on Evil Marc (TM) who is in league with the Pirate Ninja Squirrels who maintain continually updated, highly detailed dossiers on everyone.

What is Surströmming?

I am reliably informed ignorance is bliss.

When can I expect my Bilbothy to be delivered?

About the same time you attended Marc's party. (oh, and when there, be careful of the first ZCD, it has something of a reality gap.)

From what I have read so far I may be here some considerable time

I'm with Bilbo in not knowing what Surströmming is.

Do you eat it?
Drink it?
Or is it an item of Ikea furniture?

Nice to see you here Bilbo. You ask some very useful questions.
