DorisIsAPinkDragon · 07/12/2010 21:51

Nothing wrong with pink even for a year old woman dragon

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2010 21:51

Am now ridiculously excited at getting a PM. I do hope its Gordon.

glitterkitty · 07/12/2010 21:51

Where can I find these 'disney fleeces' you speak of?

SpringHeeledJack · 07/12/2010 21:53

I seem to remember that, not that long ago, pink was shorthand for queer

now it means a way of marketing Nokias to my SIL

Mine is a "kitty" reference I suppose but there's nothing cuddly or fluffy about my cat she's a gobby cow..hence "TheMeow"...we don't ever actually use her real name anymore.

And I've never had a PM...no one loves me Xmas Sad

SpringHeeledJack · 07/12/2010 22:05

even I know who she was, and I've only bin here five minutes

it was easier to type than Bibbitybobbity, that's for fucking sure

SpringHeeledJack · 07/12/2010 22:07

on sunject of names, I'm a bit upset because, when wandering about in old threads earlier, I found a long one on how annoying it is when people have Moos.

Now, I thought I had the only Moo, and that it was charming and original. Now I find Moos are legion, and their parents are twats

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 07/12/2010 22:17

Shiney - but you are not sparkly. You are 70s-song-lyric-tastic. Like me.

Goodness, Springheeledjack , you're right!! I'd completely forgotten that.

It's been hi-jacked!

animula · 07/12/2010 22:19

Oh - that was wrt "pink", not moos.

On the subject of moos, I'm all sympathy, I have a bean. Apparently, that's somewhat ubiquitous too.

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 07/12/2010 22:20

Springy - I feel certain that your sil is a mumsnetter.

JamieLeeCurtis · 07/12/2010 22:23

Hully - I have Pm'd you

(Ok bibbity?)

MadameDefarge · 07/12/2010 22:23

Shiney made me change my name. Cos it was very wet. And not at all scary.

PinkIsMyFavouriteCrayon · 07/12/2010 22:23

Fine, I'll change it to BROWN! Wouldn't want to let Mrs Pankhurst down! Xmas Grin

Hullygully · 07/12/2010 22:24
