BUNFIGHT HERE

999 replies

beluga425 · 07/06/2018 14:54

Am I imagining it or are very simple innocuous threads descending into bunfights more frequently.

I cordially invite everyone to ready their flinging buns here instead. Needed are:

  • Someone to police the fight (whilst stirring it up a bit);
  • Grammar police to insure everybodies writing proper (your welcome);
  • Someone to ignore the basic points and totally misinterpret the thread;
  • About 50 posters to find increasingly patronising ways of saying RTFT;
  • Someone to be utterly horrified;
  • Punctuation lessons from those in-the-know;;;;;;;;
-Liberal use of these two: Hmm Confused;
  • and a passive aggressive "Wow, just wow" on page 3.

Aww, Susanne, are you alright hun? SadFlowersWineBrewCakeBearGin

WhiskeySourpuss · 10/06/2018 16:24

Oh and there are no buns, I cant afford buns.

Reported as begging... unsuspecting bunsnetters will be pm'ing offering to send PP buns after this blatant sob story

flippyfloppyflower · 10/06/2018 16:33

If I want to donate buns to Susanne I will and no-one can tell me not to

JustLurkingAway · 10/06/2018 16:33

How dare you act like only people with buns are allowed on this thread! What about us bunless paupers?

WhiskeySourpuss · 10/06/2018 16:37

What about us bunless paupers?

I warned you... fall for one sob story & then there's a flood of them...

Sortofcool · 10/06/2018 16:43

I’ve got no buns either. There’s some nasty gluten free chocolate cake I the freezer that I’ve made for a friend who has gf diet. Does that count as buns what with it being a cake. And awful? If anyone wants to send me some buns along with Susanne that would cheer me up no end. Chronic illness sufferer on low fixed income here. Oh AND triplets and a toddler.

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 16:48

Yes, why should we all be denied our bun fun just because not everyone has them? You make your own buns in this world, I work 120 hours a week in a very demanding profession, and juggle the triplets with only 3 staff, and I PAY MY TAXES.

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 16:57

Aww, do you think Susanne is a scammer, Whiskey? She seemed so genuine to me. I PM'd her and she only needed a full month's Waitrose delivery for 4 adults and 6 DCs, with a case of Lambrusco. Silly me. But we haven't had the usual MNHQ warning, have we?! So perhaps she is genuine really.

Dandeliontea123 · 10/06/2018 17:01

Haven’t RTFT but

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 17:05

Can't your triplets genetically engineer you some buns Sort, and a cure for your chronic illness? Mine could, if you hadn't made me give them back to the UVF clinic.

JustLurkingAway · 10/06/2018 17:07

What's a gal got to do to get some buns?

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 17:12

PM me your address and I'll bring you some round Just, no problem sweetie.

itsBritneyBeach · 10/06/2018 17:20

@JustLurkingAway
@BlackBeltInChildWrangling

I'd also come to help, if I lived locally, and if I didn't have to drop the kids off at 6, go to the shop at 6:01, cook a 17 course meal at 6:05, yoga at 6:30, and then of course volunteering for 12 hours.

WhiskeySourpuss · 10/06/2018 17:54

I think B(uns)NHQ are all pissed on the case of Lambrusco that Susanne has bribed them with to let her begging post stand HmmConfused

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 17:56

Aww, you're all heart itsBrit. Slow day, hun?

Sortofcool · 10/06/2018 17:58

Blackbelt they could but they still have a few weeks to go before they finish this semester at Oxford. I don’t like to interrupt their flow with requests for genetically engineered buns and a cure for my health condition. Can you show me just where I suggested you return your triplets to the UVF clinic please. You’re putting words in my mouth here.

WhiskeySourpuss · 10/06/2018 17:59

@itsBritneyBeach drop the kids off where? I have absolutely no support or family within a million mile radius to help with my kids... childcare costs me a fortune for the 11 of them (2 sets of triplets, 1 set of quadruplets & a late singleton) OH works away for months at a time probably has a 2nd family & I work 175hrs a week for NMW I'd love to be able to just "drop the wee fuckers little darlings off" & do yoga

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 18:07

Well, somebody needs to put actual words into your mouth, don't they Sort? HmmConfused

And I'm sure that the vast majority of Bunsnetters will agree with me. Infact I've had so many PMs of support about you, I've lost count. Luckily the triplets were at Harvard, so are able to keep a tally.

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 18:11

Whiskey, I wonder if Susanne is actually one of BunsnetHQ?! It could explain their absence and silence on a number of matters. Not a single comment or deleted post from them. Not one.

WhiskeySourpuss · 10/06/2018 18:15

The fuckers are probably sitting around HQ scoffing buns & drinking Lambrusco without a care in the world whilst this fred descends into mayhem

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 18:18

I actually feel betrayed by Susanne. We shared so much and had so much in common, with her stealth boasts and knitted pulses. Unlike Sort with her showy whatnots, one of our several cars runs on organic chicken poo, and the triplets' pushchair is handknitted.

Do all pop in to join us over in the Chicken House and Wooly Hugs.

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 10/06/2018 18:28

I'm actually feeling quite jealous of flippy. She got there first with her buns for Susanne. I know Susanne is bad for me and I should change the locks and get all my buns in a row, but I can't help it. Possibly oversharing here, but she's my current(bun) girlcrush.

LuMarie · 10/06/2018 18:45

There is bunless and there is bunfree

Both are unnecessary labels created by those with buns designed to make their messy or dull bun lives seem more important by labelling others are freaky different and therefore inferior. The bunfree just want the bunners to fuck off and the bunless end up in tears.

(I've been the latter, it's deeply upsetting, I'm mocking the labels, not the humans to be clear!)

LuMarie · 10/06/2018 18:54

Why don't you have buns?

  • Oh well, you know, maybe one day, we'll see, that would be lovely (smiles and dies a little on inside)

Don't you like buns?

  • looks around at the buns of others are currently holding and giggling with mutual joy and love and starts responding to an unasked question by a little bun in order to try to get away

My buns are my life, I couldn't live without them, they're my world

  • smiles (thinking are you really so meaningless and identity lacking that you would evaporate without your buns, whilst also dying a little more inside)

Taking my buns out of the oven was the best day of my life

  • I've seen One Bun Every Minute. You're fooling no-one.
Sortofcool · 10/06/2018 18:59

I’m really upset now Blackbelt I’m flouncing.
