  1. A thread has been posted in AIBU with 6,898 replies. Do you:

a) skim the OP and fall over your fingers posting a blindingly insightful reply too page 1.
b) read all 32 pages and post a short, considered response looking at both sides of the issue and citing the names of all the major players in the thread to date.
c) Read pages 1 and 32 and threaten to report the cunts who blatantly didn't bother to READ THE FUCKING THREAD.
d) Agree with Hecate.

When presented with an unexplained link, what is your reaction?

AliBaba40 · 07/06/2011 23:18

I'm weeping with laughter and absolutely unable to answer half of these (let alone attempt anything wittier).

Also praying I don't get expelled from MN (and - oh the horror - sent to NM) for accidental late-night misspelling/txt spk in this post... Will I get away with it if I add an inappropriate Biscuit?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 07/06/2011 22:58

What do you consider to be the most suitable birthday celebration for your 5 year old child?

a) a party with 10 friends at the soft play place, followed by a buffet of shop-bought sausage rolls and froot shoots

b) a performance of the lesser known works of Shostakovich by a Bulgarian string quintet

c) there isn't space in Timothy's schedule for any birthday celebration, as he mustn't miss his French lesson and his ballet exam is next Saturday

Gina Ford - her baby routines are obviously fantastic - describe how they worked for you without saying anything negative at all about it in 1000 words or less.

Not chopping off your Mooncup stem leads to unfortunate chafing. Discuss.

Chopping off your Mooncup stem leads to the bloody thing getting stuck up there and DH having to fish it out. Discuss.

scottishmummy · 07/06/2011 22:41

the bj for McD was a hilarious thread

a woman went under a horse so likes of you can suck meat for capitalist meat type shit

MooncupGoddess · 07/06/2011 22:41
  1. Front hall: clunch, slipper satin or blackened white? Give at least three supporting reasons.
  1. I've been with my DP for two months. He's on a course today and even though I've texted him 67 times and left 18 voicemails he hasn't got back to me! Really panicking now. Is he:

a) emotionally avoidant
b) a narcissist
c) shagging a colleague?

passiveaggresive · 07/06/2011 22:38

scottishmummy - i was so badly flammed for that transgression that i never had oral sex ever again!!

Sassybeast · 07/06/2011 22:37

Compare and contrast the emergence of the sub species commonly known as 'ex wives' and 'step mothers'. Pay particular relevance to the 'sacred cow' ideology applied to each species in the context of 'AIBU' threads.

(Extra marks will be awarded for the use of 'crazy ex wife' and 'BM')

NorksAreMessy · 07/06/2011 22:34

is my DD

  1. A genius?
  2. Emotionally mature?
  3. Politically sensitive?
  4. Artistically gifted?

Is your DD

  1. Slightly behind her peer group in reading?
  2. A bit of a worry, what with not having all her teeth yet?
  3. A TART, she is wearing a glittery teeshirt!
  4. A narcissist. At four months, she should have developed some empathy!
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 07/06/2011 22:34

Question 622

Your partner has come home tonight with a large bunch of flowers for you. Should you

a) Throw partner out and change the locks, as this is clearly a guilt offering after some unforgivable indiscretion
b) Throw partner out and change the locks, as you realise that this gift represents the commodification of women under the patriarchy
c) Throw flowers out, as they clash horribly with your decor
d) Throw flowers out, as they are not organic and possibly even imported
e) You are a modern and independent woman and can buy your own flowers, thank you very much
f) Say "how lovely" and put the flowers in a vase

My cat has just pooed in her litter tray. I have shot her.

Can't be too careful she might venture outdoors..................and then your children might die.

Also, my neighbour's dog looked at me and drooled. Will he eat me and the DC's?

Your best mate is getting married to her partner, with whom she's already got two children. Are you:

(a) breathless with excitement about her Special Day?
(b) horrified at her capitulation to the patriarchy
(c) pleased by her pragmatism in sorting out the logistics if one of them dies
(d) worried for her, because obviously if he really loved her he'd have married her before kids?
