Oh My God

Crunchy

Are you ok?

What happened???? What did MNHQ do to you?

VirginonRidiculous · 10/08/2010 22:42

Oh oh Thumbwitch , not stereotyping all of you Aussies but...when I did live out there there just seemed to be more people in touch with that sort of 'jazz'. Mind you I did spend quite a bit of time in Byron so you must understand that I can't put all of you Aussies in the same bracket as Byron is a law unto itself. ;-). I used to read a magazine out there called Nexus which really advocated things such as Tin foil gussets (well maybe hats but I do like to exaggerate occasionally) Grin. The magazine also was hot on the fact that George Bush was part of a secret Lizard Alien family who ruled the underworld and were in disguise above the Earths crust so...hey ho! Great mag, better than Closer.

cor. A life-size crunchy wrapped in foil... I must have had too much merlot as well

Valpollicella · 10/08/2010 22:56

Contain yourself Giggle. We're dealing with a fugitive from MN's justice here...

KurriKurri · 10/08/2010 23:04

Someone better get going on this just in case there's an emergency.

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:05

I'm more worried about that KurriKurri volunteering me and my tinfoil to make something for Tech's gusset Shock They obviously don't appreciate how out of practice I am with that hot glue gun...

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:06

oooh, crunchie-porn

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 10/08/2010 23:09

I think we should still all have a crunchie this friday to celebrate Crunchy getting out relatively unscathed.

It would be like a minute of silence - except the silence is because we are all stuffing our faces with chocolate. Smile

SolidGoldBrass · 10/08/2010 23:10

Bloody MNHQ denizens abducty aliens! They drag you off, dazzle you with their big silver heads, take compromising pictures, subject you to an anal probe and then the bastards never call, never email, never flatten the vegetable patch late at night making enticing beepy noises...

Valpollicella · 10/08/2010 23:13

Ok so how about 3pm on Friday...Crunchy Crunchie time?

We can start a thread an' all?

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:13
BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 10/08/2010 23:14

SGB, you are welcome by the way. I gave up my evening to mortal peril for your sake - No thanks necessary.

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:14

I told you before, I can't WAIT til Friday. Not when it's so big and it's looking at me

Valpollicella · 10/08/2010 23:17

X posts with SGB

You're safe!

Thank god we didn't lose you SGB.

So did they do much probing?

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 10/08/2010 23:17

I'm up for Friday, Val. I don't even like chocolate particularly, but am happy to take one for the team. Wink

HelenMumsnet · 10/08/2010 23:18

OMG, Olivia! Did you let Crunchy out?

Tsk, I can't leave you alone for five minutes, can I?

Did you at least retrieve the tin foil?

Valpollicella · 10/08/2010 23:25

Helen, you basilically promised us Tech's cojones on a plate earlier...

Can you confirm what suitable punishment has been applied for this all round distress (secret topic leading to paranoia; almost loss of two intrepid MNers)

We may be forced to call in InjuryLawyers4U if we're not recompensed...

KurriKurri · 10/08/2010 23:25

I'm prepared to eat several Crunchies on behalf of my colleagues [martyr emoticon].

SGB, just to update you - Tech is to blame for everything, and he is currently being de-briefed.

Giggle - I'm just trying to drum up custom for your gusset business - any publicity is good publicity.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 10/08/2010 23:26

Giggle - DH asked me what i was laughing at and I stupidly read out your post.

Looks like I might actually have to take one for the team now.

HelenMumsnet · 10/08/2010 23:28

TWO intrepid MNers?

Don't tell me Olivia's let SGB out as well?

KurriKurri · 10/08/2010 23:32

Helen, if Olivia's not a double agent, I'll give you my crunchy and change my name to Kim Philby.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 10/08/2010 23:34

I'll second that Kurri.

Although I will have to change my name to something slightly different, obviously.

Valpollicella · 10/08/2010 23:44

Both Crunchy and SGB were released today without harm, although they may face months of counselling to help them overcome their oredeals.

At this time we are asking the media and any offers of sponsorship for aluminium foil to respect their privacy, so that they may recover in the comfort of their homes, away from the public gaze.

We will of course be on hand at 3pm on Friday at the Cruncy Chrunchie - thon (marking their selfless efforts for Mners) to answer any further questions...

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:53

Bitter Grin

gigglewitch · 10/08/2010 23:54

Excellent speech, Val
