Can anyone think of one?
:)
people on internet forums who are all super-friendly and chatty and want to get to know people and all that touchy-feely uber-hippie stuff... give me the creeps. i'm like, "get a room, geezers!" maybe that's why (aside from the "news & events" section) i usually steer waaaaaaay clear of the lounge.
dunno if that's worthy of debate, but i thought it was as good a time as any to broach the subject.
I really like the word broach, did you know it's a homonym.
Be careful with those homo words JP, you may inadvertently upset someone. http://www.smiliegenerator.de/smiley...miley-6522.pngQuote:

I find one of the best things about the lounge is that there are hardly two people alike. Someone seems to know something about everything. It is often boring, but that's natural. And as for "uber-hippies" .... no, I won't go there!

In what way would me using the word homonym be offensive to anyone.
i thought you bore some amazing similarities to an overweight australian lesbian schizo that enjoyed talking to themselves.Quote:

What do the British think of the Australin Prime Minister, John Howard?
Here's an interview he did on Australian radio. He was discussing the government's decision to declare Melville Island not part of Australia for asylum claims. He did this in the afternoon, after a boatload of refugees landed there and asked for political asylum. They were towed back to sea, and the afternoon's law change was backdated to the beginning of the day. They therefore had no legal "right" to ask for asylum.
Here is his response to criticism of the decision ...
These Kurdish asylum seekers tried to get into Australia. Now, I dunno where Kurd is (bet it's in a terrorist country, though), but I'm dead-set on sending them back there. So at first Amanda Vanstone and I just said that they hadn't applied for asylum and that they'd probably just got lost off their Contiki Tour and ended up on Melville Island, or something. But then the opposition was all, "Nah, that's Bullshit." And we're like, "Nah, it's true!" And they're all, "Nah, it's bullshit." And we're like, "Nah seriously, it's fair dinkum!" And they're still all, "Nah, it's bullshit." And well, it was, so in the end we went, "Yeah ok, it's bullshit." But we still didn't want these Kurdish terrorists getting in, so I came up with the best plan EVER. Like, I reckon I fully must be a genius, or something. All I did was get Parliament to pass this legislation saying that Melville Island isn't part of Australia's migration zone anymore. Of course, 'cause they're sooks, the opposition started whining 'cause they reckoned that it still had been part of our migration zone when they arrived there, so the legislation doesn't count. But that's not right, 'cause I reckon legislation should work backwards, too. Like how Aboriginals have equal rights now, so we can just pretend that they always did.

Isn't braille used by the blind ?
They would be able to hear a normal radio, so what would the point of that be ?
Yes, but they can't hear the brackets.Quote:

John Howard on his visit to Britain.
Tuesday, November 18, 2003
Ugh, I had to go the UK last week. For real, I reckon that place gets lamer every time I go there. Or maybe it's just Tony Blair who does. Either way, trips there are always totally lame. Especially 'cause it's so weird talking to Tony. Like, I reckon he's a total spaz-wad, and he knows I'm so much cooler than he could even dream of being, so it's always heaps awkward. But we have to pretend to like each other 'cause of all that monarchy stuff. So I'm all, "So... good war." And he's like, "Yeah. Didn't suck too much. When the public realised we'd lied ... that sucked a bit." And I was all, "Yeah... didn't have to deal with that. Australians didn't really care." And he's like, "Ooh, lucky you. But then, I guess that I don't have to live in a convict colony, so..." And I'm like, "Yeah? Well at least my country bathes!" And so he poked his tongue out at me. And so I blew him a raspberry. And then Queen Liz told us that we were both behaving very inappropriately for a Remembrance Day commemoration.

Sounds pretty serious to me. :unsure:
I wish Tony Blair had taken some lessons off John Howard on how to get rid of the bloody refugees. the visit would have been useful then. <_<Quote:
