Newbie slattern here.

I have long, chimp-like arms. Sleeves are always too short. What can I do about this? (Apart from strategic shaving, obviously.)

DanglyTassles · 12/06/2019 08:27

I like the getting up machine thigh, there's got to be a strong market for that! Is there a way to get it to also put a fry up in your mouth too! Maybe in between first coffee and go coffee?

Well last night in the dark recesses of society (the other ones that aren't here Proj , just for clarity) I have found a homeless old man and a hipster so we now have feet for Thigh and a belly button plus some new bowels oh and one of the livers looked ok, can't remember which one so I took both! We also have a gall stone which will do as a weapon in the ZA.

I wanted the hipsters glasses because my eyesight is shit but soon realised they were actually just frames! Idiot! I killed him again for that!! I have his bike though if anyone can be arsed riding it?

Worm if it’s the hair, don’t worry, it will keep you warm and repel idiots. We all have a full pelt here. If your arms are cold, get elbow length gloves, or arm warmers, so you’ve got something to wipe your nose on.

thislido · 12/06/2019 11:12

The getting up machine will mainly be required in child sizes. We can test it on the DL.

DanglyTassles · 12/06/2019 11:15

Arm warmers are a brilliant idea this , we should all have them for when our slankets don't cover enough arm! Maybe just recycle old leg-warmers from the '80s?

Frownette · 12/06/2019 11:19

Well get a move on thislido, I had to walk down the street and buy my coffee this morning

pineapplebryanbrown · 12/06/2019 11:26

Frown did you get it in a cup or squirted into your gaping maw? Walk into coffee shops, grunt and point from now on.

Oh I do the grunting anyway. They throw it all over you then put whipped cream on your head.

I manage to lick the drips from my hair

pineapplebryanbrown · 12/06/2019 11:33

What's the whipped cream for?

You know that's a sign of psychopathy don't you? Hmm Unnecessary coffee adornment.

I know what the whipped cream on hot chocolate is for. It's for lulling you into a false sense of security. You dip your spoon into the cream and get a taste of the hot chocolate and it's a perfect temperature. So you get greedy for the drink and burn your mouth. Happens everytime!

Frownette · 12/06/2019 11:41

thigh, that's for you to lick off Grin

They're being kind

Wormentrude · 12/06/2019 12:50

@thislido Brilliant. The arm warmers will stop the snot from matting into my fur, thereby alleviating the need to shave.

I thought the point of whipped cream on hot chocolate was to encourage competition: everyone opens their mouth as widely as possible, hoping to cover the ring of the cup and slurp the cream in one. Hippos always win. Anteaters huff off and refuse to join in because they say the odds are stacked against them.

ProjectGainsborough · 12/06/2019 17:42

I have an important announcement. There are NO CHILDREN in my house. The DL is obviously making his way back from thigh’s and screamy daughter has gone away with some people who don’t speak English. I don’t really know when she’ll be back because of the language barrier.

What should I do??

ProjectGainsborough · 12/06/2019 17:43

I am definitely a hippo wormentude. Screw the anteaters.

Frownette · 12/06/2019 18:43

paaartaaaay!!!

Put it on Facebook and await the hoardes to arrive. Dig out the vodka, condoms, sequined catsuit and party poppers

Frownette · 12/06/2019 18:45

Oh. DL is back soon. Sus that then, he might get a shock (though praps he had worse at thigh's)

ProjectGainsborough · 12/06/2019 18:50

Hmm The DL walked in and quietly vomited on the floor. What did you do to him thigh?

Shall I tell you what I did with my precious free hour?? I rode through the streets on a tiny pink child’s scooter. Was collecting from somewhere and it seemed silly to walk. I think this has cemented my reputation in this tiny conservative village as mental.

ProjectGainsborough · 12/06/2019 18:53

I am wearing my sequinned catsuit frown. The DL told me to take it off because he says it makes me look like Freddy Mercury. He doesn’t understand that that’s the whole point.

Frownette · 12/06/2019 19:03

Were you wearing said catsuit on the pink scooter?

ProjectGainsborough · 12/06/2019 19:21

Ah, shit. No. Missed an opportunity to freak out the neighbours there. I was wearing a mac, a la Bruce Willis in Glass, though, so prob suitably thinister.

Imagine Bruce Willis coming toward you on a tiny pink scooter. FUN.

Frownette · 12/06/2019 19:37

Pssst @thislido I fulfilled our dare

pineapplebryanbrown · 12/06/2019 20:01

Oh soz Proj re vomit, I did tell DL not to mix his drinks and drive. Has he nicked my Kia Rio?

Frown re the dare, screenshot or it didn't happen.

If you're trying to obtain TL's approval you have to try harder than that. She plays hard to get.

thigh really, oh I found her quite easy? Perhaps she's resilient to your myriad -nurse rachet charms.

I'd better shut up before I end up in the organ bucket..
