I have reported it 3 times today, 1 before 9am.
Heard nothing from them.

Chickens eat worms and slugs and things (oh and frogs and mice if they get a chance). And they are very brave (not really but it suits my point) so no calling scared people "chicken" or I'll report chickinistic tendencies.

I love this thread.

I, too, am late to the party.Sad

I had never heard of the phrase until I met DP. He uses it frequently and, though slightly panphobic, has never used it in the context the OP is suggesting.

And can someone PM me next time a bunfight is going on?

ExitPursuedByABrrrrrrr · 13/11/2012 23:22

How, how, how have I missed all this?

MN at its maddest.

And for what it is worth, I say mad as a bag of frogs, not box. Would be more jumpy don't you think?

Isn't Evian French? Is it racist to talk about French water?

WorraLiberty · 13/11/2012 22:46

Evianist if you don't mind

Water fuckin liberty!

HoneyDragon · 13/11/2012 22:42

Avianist is what you Worra. Avianist, you hater of all winged beings.

WorraLiberty · 13/11/2012 22:37

Hmm just realised I had a post deleted from that thread.

I'd just like to point out it was because I suggested the OP was a tit.

Not because of anything racist.

HoneyDragon · 13/11/2012 22:32

It would save s lot of posting, if when mnet went tits up, HQ simply grabbed the pitchforks and found me, Imperial. It really would.

FlyingFig · 13/11/2012 22:17

I'm emailing MNHQ. I've seen two people use the term 'batshit crazy' which I believe to be offensive to Batfink and quite possibly people from Transylvania.

WildThong · 13/11/2012 22:09

A pox on those weird eyed chickens

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 13/11/2012 22:08

I KNEW it was Honey's fault.

BIWI · 13/11/2012 21:58

amillion. If you need to say:

One last thing, I hope.
I will look more into the differences between
race
nation
ethnic
xenophobia

... then you really shouldn't be accusing people of being racist. Educate yourself a little bit more first.

HoneyDragon · 13/11/2012 21:55

I have done shit loads of actually proper stuff today. Shit loads.

See what happens when I'm not here? Bloody BatshitWomble that's what.

Can some one left off some sort of siren next time. It's taken an age to catch up properly.

LRD wipe up your tail and dry your scales my lovely. You are a fabulous dragon.

Lovecat, that's funny DH said exactly the same thing.

Shame on you amillion

Lovecat · 13/11/2012 21:40

I've been reading extracts of this to DH (mainly the bits about pissing on toads whilst pregnant and Labradors getting off their tits licking frogs).

He, who works for a French company, with a French boss, has pointed out that by assuming that the enraged Frogs in the aforementioned Box must mean French people, it is the OP who is being racist and revealing his own prejudices...

Just sayin' :)

ItsNotEasyBeingGreen · 13/11/2012 21:30

Aaahhh I see Hully I was under the impression that the OP thought you agreed with her!?!?!

HullyEastergully · 13/11/2012 21:29

In answer to the person that wanted clarification...

As I understand it (from life-draining yet curiously fascinating) experience, amillion gets ideas in her head and simply cannot dislodge them. Not becuase she is a bad person, but because she believes in them utterly beyond all gainsaying.

Sl1nkyMalinki · 13/11/2012 21:28

Oh apologies for appalling grammar. I'm off my head on codeine still Confused

Btw tequila makes me a bit punchy. I don't touch it anymore!

Sl1nkyMalinki · 13/11/2012 21:26

I'm wondering if this survives deletion it should end up in Classics? It's brilliant, cheered me up no end Grin

Moln · 13/11/2012 21:25

Stupid letters going all wrong when I typed
