Perhaps if we all think evel, and also evil*, thoughts towards the spammers/intruders at midnight GMT/UT of the 30th April we can destroy these parasites in their nest. Anyone sending them 45kilograms of TNT will assist the cause.

Be Happy, and curse the bastards.

I wonder if they think a cucumber would be an odd gift?

I'd just like to point out to any minors ('Minors, not miners!') reading this board that cursing is not acceptable behaviour in modern society but if it must be done then Bunyip is a recommended target. Also, try to eat your five fruit and vegetable portions a day.

Old joke attack:

Q: How do you tell legitimate budgerigars from illegitimate budgerigars?

A: Put them all together in a cage, leave the door open, and the bastards fly out.

Little white pill time.

Promotes duality by suggesting that bibwit was not blinking but winking with both eyes.

I can remember when I first learned how to wink. I thought it was quite an accomplishment (I was never a fast learner at anything) and was very proud of myself. These days, people mutter "dirty old man" when I do it - how times change.

At least they still think you are capable of impure thought - perhaps you could take it as a compliment?

There are no impure thoughts to a dirty old man. All things are pure to the pure of heart.

To Shakespeare, the word 'pure' meant something else entirely.

Indeed pure collector were to be found out on the streets, now no-one seems to worry about it. I get to go out at least every weekend and collect our weekly output.

My father used to tell the story of when he was a lad, going around with his mates and a sugar-bag for the collection of what we might delicately call canine pure. They got a shilling a bag from the tannery (at Mascot, in Sydney) if it was of the mature, well-aged variety. We're talking about the 1920's and a shilling was a fortune even when shared between a few lads.

The substance was (and is?) a key element of the leather tanning process. Any unseasoned visitors walking around the neighbourhood had about 30 seconds to run past the tannery before their central nervous systems collapsed from the smells it exuded. This was even in my time - I can still feel the electric jolt that shook my whole frame the first time I got a whiff of it, and my father's laughter.

My grandfather worked at the tannery for most of his life and I remember that his skin was so tanned (permanently, from the work he did, not from the sun) that for many years I grew up thinking that I was part Aboriginal. I remember being most disillusioned when this aspect of my cultural heritage - as I imagined it - was explained away.

Am I alone in wishing it hadn't been a sugar bag? Some how the whole story would have been far more palatable if there had been no foodstuff involved.
