Can't think of anything off the top of my head...

Is that sanity or purity? :-)

If she's being medicated for it, I hope it's sanity. I don't think medication could raise your purity score (although certian banned substances can lower it).

I am half insane, totally confused, completely unemployed and partially distracted. Which makes a total of 3.45 people, as my MPD is playing up again...

But hey,, now I know why PSD wants some one to grease his rabbits. I *hope* he means rabbits....



My reality check has just bounced again.......

Erm, it wouldn't translate it for me, so I'll have to rely on your translation. I'm sure it's right. It just sounded a good battle cry, really....

Actually, going by my non-existent foreign language knowledge, it probably translates as

"Seize his balls!" Or "Hail his balls!" That's what Cojones means, I think.

I just though the oil and rabbits was, like, y'know, ... a variation on a theme..

yep Cojones means balls, it's similar to the portuguese word, it's quite strong and ugly though

Oh, boy... I might have known it was going to be unsavoury... *rolls eyes*

I definitely preferred the idea of greasing Ben's rabbits.

I hadnt said anything before because Ben sometimes changes his sigs quite regularly, but this one has been for quite a while...

Would you like me using something like "yay for C**ts" or something, it's that strong a word (the portuguese one would be)...

Good grief... if I'd known that, I think I'd have said something.

PSD - be honest, now. Did *you* know?

I'm not sure if the spanish is this strong, it's definetely not in english, i mean i'm the one who says "bol****ks" all the time when something happens! :-)

I rather got the impression that it wasn't actually *that* strong - certainly I saw it pass uncensored on the front of an American tank during the Media war-fest - and I've also heard it used several times on TV and in films, so I guess the Spanish isn't that bad...

It needs changing anyways....

Cheers from here too! And it's nice to have one in English that we can smile at...

I guess it's because Portugal breeds such nice, refined and polite people...

Or maybe that's the other way around... ;)
