BrianAndHisBalls · 13/11/2012 21:22

I'm not sure that op is quite well

A friend of mine got so pissed on tequila once that she shat herself on her boyfriend's mum's bathroom carpet. That put me off ever trying it.

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 21:19

I too go batshit crazy on tequila. (can I say batshit?)

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:18

zombie, I used to drink tequila. and sambuca'a after work. but on my 18th I went to a pub I'd been frequenting since I was 15. ordered whisky, which was my favourite at the time. the landlord asked what I was celebrating, I shouted "my 18th birfday, I'm eighteeeeeeen today! and youve been serving me for 3 years. do you feel silly?" (I was drunk) he smirked and doubled up my drinks.

I got so pissed that my boyfriend carried me up to bed, after I fell asleep on the pool table and accused him of shagging my stepmum. I ended up sleeping in the bath so I wouldnt miss if I puked.

cant smell it now.

Alien
Good point. Perhaps MNHQ should have had a quiet word with amillion

I'm tempted to namechange to amillionfrogsinabox but that would be cruel. Sorry amillion

squishee · 13/11/2012 21:15

If I call someone as mad as a hatter, am I making a racist slur about hatters?

BarbecuedBillygoats · 13/11/2012 21:15

Zombie's being dogist, zombie's being dogist

ItsNotEasyBeingGreen · 13/11/2012 21:15

Oih! Stop being chickenist... My best friend is a chicken! Angry

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:15

Zombie is very wise to avoid tequila. It is evil.

BarbecuedBillygoats · 13/11/2012 21:14

Fowl propaganda?

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:14

you got me.

I hate chickens. in fact, I hate all birds. they are untrustworthy. owls can turn their heads 360deg. so could the little girl in the exorcist.

IamtheZombie · 13/11/2012 21:12

Zombie drank tequila once. On her 25th birthday. It was the kind that had the worm in the bottle. She may have had 2 worms.

She was sick as a dog (can she say that??) for days.

To this day just the smell of tequila makes her gag.

champagnesupernova · 13/11/2012 21:12

Poor MNHQ
They can never win
Six hours is one school day ffs

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 21:11

I've never trusted chickens, it's in the eyes.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:10
Shock

No tequila?!

Is it because you are Mexicanist? Hmm

Moln · 13/11/2012 21:09

I thought chickens where veggie too.

Have I fallen for foul propaganda?

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:08

Grin ItsNotEasy, thats ace

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:08

there there.

I dont really drink tequila.

ItsNotEasyBeingGreen · 13/11/2012 21:07

AsMadAsABoxOfFrogs here, but I've name changed again... Not grammatically correct but I can't forget frog gate easily, I want to be reminded how ridiculous people can be sometimes.

Bye bye amillion, see you on another thread, hopefully when you're not being so 'as mad as a box of frogs'...

And can I just say Dara O'Briain it's pronounced HAD-Ron not HAY-Dron!!!!

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:06

It's true blame. I am a shite feminist and a shite dragon. Sad

LadyBeagle · 13/11/2012 21:03

I'm surprised that this thread is still here TBH, seeing how happy clappy Amillion is with the report button.

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 21:01

I don't think MNHQ should have deleted the posts (they did in the end didn't they?) they should have PM'd amillion and said, No, you daft pearl clutcher, this IS NOT racism, it's a very common, harmless saying, meaning one is about as sane as a box of jumping amphibians. Stop reporting harmless stuff. luv MNHQ

Then I wouldn't have spent half the night banging my head against a wall.

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 20:59

woah!

sadly, i can only read between the lines of posts. and see what a poster means better than they can themselves.

AsMadAsABoxOfFrogs · 13/11/2012 20:59

Aaahhh I can't keep away.

OP as well as looking up race, nation, ethnic and xenophobia, could you please look up 'expressions'?!
